FAIRFIELD

A meeting Of the directors of the
North Fairfield Sweet Corn Growers
association was held March 4th to
consider the matter of erecting a CO.
operative canning shop. 1t was unan-
imously voted to proceed with the
plans for erecting such a shop; that
an option be secured on suitable To-
cation; that plans be drawn up for the
shop: and that a definite estimate
of the cost of construction and equip
ment be obtained. 1t was the opin-
ion of all the directors. however. that
it woud be impossible to have such a
shop ready to operate in time to care
for this seasons corps. And in view
of the decreasing cost of construction
and equipment it seemed wise to defer
actual construction till another
spring, when everything could then be
in readiness to equip the plant in time
to pack the 1928 CROP The purpose
of erecting such a cooperative shop is,
primarily. to furnish an opportunity
for the farmers to market their sweet
corn crop. The dissatisfaction among
most of the large growers of this To-
cality with having their market en-
tirely controlled by some outside
packing company has become SO
strong that in all probability most Of
them will abandon the sweet corn in
dustry unless q cooperative plant is

Pres. Navin Wouldn't
Take Any Chances

When Frank Navin, president OF
the Detroit club, began negotiations
with Portland that resulted in him
making the deal by which he landed
Pitchers Pillette and johnson, he had
in mind deal fer but one Of the pair.
His decision to take both was the re-
suit of a previous effort to make a
selection, as he tells the story, re-
lates the Boston Post. Having
guessed wrong in the previous ef-
fort he decided to play safe this time.
This is President Navin's story:
Several years ago l owned two
pitchers, one by the name of Carl
Mays and the other by the name of
John c. Oldham. l decided to farm
them out and finally placed them
with the Providence club. At the
end of the season could not take up
both of them, rather did not care to,
and asked three former major league
players, who were members of the
Providence team, which of the two |
should pick. All three told me to
take Oldham and not to bother about
Mays as he would never be able to
pitch in the major leagues, and was
lucky to have a job in the minors. So
I took Oldham and forgot about
Mays. but not for long. What is
more. l have not been able to forget
Mays since that time.
Il knew that Portland had two
crack pitchers. OF the two johnson
got the better recommendation, but
remembering the Mays Oldham incl
dent 1 decided that they would come
to me in pairs and so l took Pillette
as we'll as Johnson
