that name by leading and, "sticking~
fast to the ground they gained.
The writer attended meeting Of
farmers in that State last November,
1t was called to celebrate the COMPILE
tion Of limestone storage bin. which
had been erected by a prosperous and
enterprising farmer and banker If
that section. These gentlemen put up
the bin to be operated for the benefit
Of the community, the charges for op-
ernting to be just enough to cover the
cost Of handling material. They had
used lime for, years on their own
farms, with excellent results and be-
ing broadminded and having the right
public spirit, they adopted this plan
to help other farmers of their county.
The county agent, who led in tho
work Of erecting the first limestone
storage bin In the State, called the
meeting to order, stating that the idea
Of bringing the farmers together was
to help them to increase the produc-
ing power Of soils: '"Our fertility"
he said, sis big problem, not only
for our counties but for our towns.
Prosperity depends on soil improve
ment." He said that the farmers Of
the county had the problem before
them last spring of getting lime at the
right time, and finally solved it by
building limestone bin. Lime bins"
he stated. mean having lime on hand

less money and lime hauled at the

right time. "There is NO question
in the minds Of the farmers
Of this section he continued,
"as to the need Of lime. Our big
problem is feed, now that we are get
ting into the dairy and cattle business.
Lining will enable us to grow the
feed. The foundntion for good f:irnl-
Ing Is red clover, and that makes our
limestone storage bins essential"
In conclusion he said 1.-THE farmers
are becoming Interested in this work.
l believe We will have in few years
a limestone bin at every railway sid
ing in North Carolina"
He might have added, There should
be one in every agricultural commune

Talks along this line we're made by
several practical farmers. One speak

more Christianity into farming. The
land you are working does not belong
to you-you have title, but you can't
move the land. Nature gave it to us
in trust. to pass on in as good condi-
ton as 1t was when we received it
or much better condition. If we
fail to do this, we commit sin."
The county agents and farmers in
attendance seemed to be Of one mind.
IIegumes need lime-they must grow
legumes for feed and soil-.lnproying
crops-therefore the building Of lime
stone storage bins Is about the most
important work they can engage In for
the general good. And the business

soil fertilization is the mother and

many years the use of lime has been
general on farms In that State. The
trouble however, has been the same
rs that experienced in all sections %
the country where limestone must be
shipped in by car loads. Many were
deferred from using 1t by reason of
the facts that It had to bee purchased
IN car lots, and unloaded and hauled
TO the farms regardless Of other press
Ing farm work or weather conditions
This difficulty was met and overcome
some years ago by farmers organiza-
faons In Ohio, Illinois, Virginia and
other States by building limestone bins
at railway stations where pulverized
limestone could be stored and sold in
any quantity to members of tie asso-
cations and others-farmers coming
to town with loads of produce, taking
back loads Of limestone and spreading
1T on their lands with little l1ss of
time and at small expense. 1t was
not surprising, therefore, to learn that
farmers of North Carolina were adopt

with them in erecting storage bins on

NEW YORK, July ll.-Like Nor
vich, the 100000 beauty of the turf,
which went begging around for a home
before he found barn open, Jimmy
O 'Connell, the $4,000 rookie bought
from San Francisco by the New York
Giants, had battle to find a place to
work, according to Joe Devine, maj jor
league scout.
Back in 1919, Devine was running
around singing in managers ears the
praises of the yonngster he had seen
cavorting around the Sacramento sand
lots.
Five managers in the Pacific Coast
League were too busy TO pay attention
to Il rookie and O 'Connell kept battling
around the sand piles.
Finally he was grabbed by San
Francisco and he developed into n star
first baseman and Il great hitter.
All the major league clubs went
after him but the Giants, with the big
gest roll, stepped in and nabbed him
for 1928 delivery.
'Connell was switched from first
base to the outfield this year and has
been playing a great game, as well us
batting like n big wind.
The Giants are sorely pressed for an
outfelder and it is understood that
McGraw is trying to get the San Fran
cisco club to deliver him the middle of
this season, instead of waiting until
next spring.
Another prize is said to be lurking On
the coast in the person of '' Buzz
Arlett, a young right handed pitcher,
with the Oakland Club.
He has been Offered to four major
league clubs in Il deal involving only
PLAYERS.
= Del Howard, business manager of the
club, saws that when the deal is com
pleted the players involved will repre-
sent II sum equal to the O'Connell and
Kamm purchases.
Speaking of o 'Connel and Kamm,
Danny Long steps in to claim the scout
championship of the world.
Long claims to have uncovered close
to Il million dollars worth of ivory in
his mining operations around the
bushes.
He claims Kamm, Frank Chance,
Hall Chase, Duffy Lewis, Babe Ruth,
Ping Bodie, Cravath Claude Williams,
Swede Risberg, Charley Street and
