Terry Turner, Grand Old
 Man of Maps, . 34 Today

A veteran of the diamond who has never been given as much credit as he deserves is Terry Turner, the grand old man of the Cleveland club. the last survivor of that glittering galaxy of stars who once represented the Ohio metropolis in Ban Johnson s little old league. Turner was born thirty-four years ago today, Feb. 28, 1882, at Sandy Lake: in western Penn sylvania- His baseball enthusiasm was a natural growth, for his father was rabid 33rd degree fan who had been an amateur and serni-pro player. In the neighboring town of Greenville, where Terry spent his boyhood, he gained his first professional experi- ence, covering third for the Green vile club in 1899. After a couple of seasons in his home town Turner

When the Oil and Iron league schedule ended Terey was given a chance to perform in Pirate spangles, but he lasted only a few days. Barney Dreyfus and Fred Clarke were not only willing but ca ger to keep the youngster, but it de veIoped that Columbus. had a. prior claim and Terry was awarded to the American Association club. In mid. season of 1908 Columbus traded him to Cleveland for two players and cash consideration and Terry began his long and glorious career with the team which numbered among it's members the peerless Lajoie, the In vincible Addie Joss, the speedy Bay, the great StovalI and other stars or the first magnitude. Turner has play ed all three bases, but 1t was as a shortstop, that he did his best work For eight years he led the American league in fielding in all the infield positions he played That is record which stands almost without peer, and which entities fair-haired little Terry Turner to a place among the diamond inmorta1s.

Potash and Phosphates.

The agricultural department of the
University of Illinois has published an,
other report dealing with the soils OF
this state and the fertilizers which
they need. This new investigation.
like the last. shows that Illinois farm.
ers need not worry about potash. With
the exception of swamp lands our soils
have all the potassium salts they need,
and the addition of more is stimu-
liant rather than a food.
What Illinois land usually does lack
is phosphorus, and the United States
has plentiful supply of phosphate
rock. This is good news to farmers
who had been taught that the lack of
German potash would cut down their
crops. II tends likewise to stimulate
an American industry which was be-
ing hidden behind clever foreign ad.
vertising. By the time this war is
over, America will know how much
potash fertilizer 1t really needs, and
what the stuff is worth on the SOIL
