| sJ i Editors Note-Here is the first 1 chapter of a series of articles con 1 corning Connie Mack. The entire
 story is based on an interview with l the remarkable leader of the Athletics | It is story which reveals many in-
 side incidents and theories of Connie Mack, which heretofore have never
 been given to the public by the Sphinx
 of Baseball" The next chapter will appear in this column tomorrow This is the story of Connie Mack; of his
 start in baseball in the almost forgot ten past; a story replete with anecdotes concerning his playing days; tale thnt gives his hitherto unexpressed impress sons of the game; his ideas as to the worth while plays-and players-of at time. And it is a story that reveals, too, the secret of Connie Macks amazing sue cess as a leader of diamond athletes. No man in all the years that baseball has endured, has risen to the heights reached by the wizard lea der of the Ata- letcs. -Iis fame is undyins. He has accomplished one baseball miracle after another. As long as the game lasts Con- Illt hdCh WILL De Te1nCInDeTcu as OItc O4 it's most remarkable figures.
 And, strange as it may seem, Mack became big league manager p years ago, much against his will and extremely doubtful of his ability to succeed. Only one diamond leader can be men, toned in the same breath of accom- plishment as Connie Mack And that man is John McGraw. But there is u vast difference in the conditions under
 which each has worked.
 McGraw has been connected for li years with the wealthest ball club in the world. Its coffers ever have been open to his demands. Whenever the Giant chieftain needed a player, and money could buy him, McGraw got him. No price was too high for the Giant owners to rly for an athlete-if McGraw needed that man. McGraws teams have been made up year on year by players who were brought to the fore by other man agers.
 But with Mack the conditions have been in direct contrast. With the CT ception of the first Athletic team of 1901 every Mackian crew has been developed by the remarhh ble Irishman The Ath- letics never had a treasury bulglng III it's proportions. Connie couldn tiff ne would--buy ready-made stars The club bankroll never would have stood up un- der such strain. So it was up to Mac-i
 to secure his future greats from the sand lots, the college campuses and the
 bushes-or become a failure. He suc' ceeded-in a way that has bewildered the baseball world

For the Good of
 The COmmunity

DWERSIFICATION of crops has been D preached to southern farmers for quarter of a century
 Farmers in most instances have been more than willing to raise more grain and less cotton when convinced it is to their ad- vantage to do so
 Until recent years, however, they have been compelled to consume their own grain and vegetable crops. A few canning plants scattered through the State of Alabama created small market for certain fruits and vegetables, but they have never been sufficient in number or capacity or con- veniently located to take care of more than small proportion of these crops.
 Still more recently grain elevators have been operated in Birmingham and three or four other cities with the result that corn acreage and yield have shown won derful increases in the territory contiguous to them To such an extent has this agri- cultural industry developed that ninety nine per cent of the corn handled in Bir- mingham elevators in 1918 was grown in Alabama as entrusted with five per cent only two or three years ago.
 Where marketing facilities have been provided the farmers have shown a will ingness to turn from all cotton to part cot ton and part grain crops. This is dem onstrated in a survey of two counties re- gently made by T F. Hay, IT,, Secretary of the Committee on Agriculture and Mar keting, and T. c. Jennings of the Southern Bell Telephone company.
 Dale and Houston were selected as typi- cal counties. There is grain elevator at Dothan, Houston county, but none in Dale. ! They found few farmers raising corn in { Dale because of the lack of marketing fa- cilities. In Houston, forty per cent of the | cultivated land was in corn 2
 In Dale farmers had to exchange their surplus corn at Ozark stores for merchan- disc. the profits on the goods reducing the net value of the corn to about eighty or ninety cents bushel, whereas the Hous- ton farmers sold their corn at the Dothan elevator at prices ranging from S1.45 to s1 80 bushel. Result: Houston county in 1918 had surplus of corn which was shipped to other counties or states Dale farmers bought corn shipped in from else. where to feed their stock.
 This is the conclusion drawn by MT. Hay and MT. Jennings from the survey of these two counties: "When we stop and realize that South Alabama has been guilty of drawing corn from Kansas and Illinois and then see the effect of the cash market
