der the system of farming that has SO
long been in vogue in this section OF
the South, immense areas of valuable
land nave grown up in brush or
washed into adjacent creeks and riv-
ers. These conditions together with
continued one crop farming, have rob-
bed the soil of its essential Plant
food elements, nitrogen, lime, phos-
phoric acid and potash. Generally
speaking, the soils of the South are
fairly we'll supplied with potash and
phosphoric acid, although much of it
badly needs the latter; but large
percentage of the cultivated lands
along the n, c. & st. L. Ry., in Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Geor-
gia are distressingly deficient in lime
and nitrogen.
The best, quickest and cheapest
remedy for this dearth of soil fertili.

the Game.
The glastonbury put it on the In
dependents, but it took nine innings
hard work to do it. Sore Elks-Centu-
ry 6, Independents 5.
With little ginger injected into
the movements of the players Tues
day afternoon the glastonbury and
Independent game would have been a
corker indeed. Long drawn out as it
was, there was a continual interest
and there were hair raising periods.
The diamond was faster than it has
ever been before land this in a meas
ure may have been the cause of the
apparent tagging of the players. In
pleasing contrast to the game of
Thursday last the outfield work of
both teams was gilt edge. This was
particularly noticeable with the Tlks
as they suffered much in that section
in the initial game. The infield work
of both teams was not without room
for improvement, but much worse ex.
hibitions have been seen.
The glastonbury started into the
game with much anxiety regarding
the pitcher, the men showing up for
that duty all being out of practice
Erwin went in and while he was con
siderably nervous for the first two in
nings after that he settled down and
pitched himself out of several bad
holes.
Minor pitched fairly good game
for the Independents but he was not
| up to his high school form, only SIX
men going down in front of his bend
| ers. He made balk toward frs
base at one time that might have re
suited seriously If it had been called
on him.
With the score standing and
from the fifth inning it was battle

Those letters read into the record

Hamlin at the time of their writing
was an active figure in a campaign
