Giants Need Pitchers TO
Win Series From Yankees

TO stop in any worlds series II they
get few runs behind them.
The Yankee staff is better by far
than the pitching corps OF the New
York Giants. The Giants are al
most pitiful in the box. McGraw
hasn't one pitcher but Arthur Nehf
and he is not in form. II he does
not get back in shape for the series
he probably win have the nice job
given 10 him to go out and beat Joe
Bush. He might though. IL he gets
a lot OF breaks.
Jess Barnes. Bill Ryan, Jock Scott,
HughMcQuillan, Hill Virgil, Barnes
and Jonnard aren't worth a nickel
bet to stay in the box for four in
nings.
There is no Douglas around 10
save them in the series this year and
while Jess Barnes might show an
other surprising reversal OF form, It
Is doubtful that he will be able 10
get away with a game. McGraw's
only hope is to have Ryan come
through with Nehf but a seven game
series Is a tough proposition for two
pitchers-or three pitchers.

WERETsCHAGTNA, Russia (By

Ural. on a stretch OF. land covered
fifteen thousand dessatines (approxi-
mately forty-hve thousand acres)
twenty Americans, including eleven
mechanicians. are today performing
pioneer work which some day will
Serve as a model for Russias entire
agricultural system.
With twenty-one tractors, the
small American colony is working,
hard to till as much land for this
falls sowing as possible. In shifts.
they are working around the clock
eighteen hours-ploughing, four
hours theoretical and two hours prac-
tical lessons for the neighboring
farmers
The practical lessons are being
performed on the farmers land in
order to create favorable feeling
amongst the farmers, who are in
clined to regard these pioneers as
enemies
This stretch of land represents a
fraction of the area owned by the
Soviet State which holds about a
Russian agricultural land.
In olden times these farms be-
longed to the Czaristic administra-
ton, which in turn gave control to
owners of large industrial plants for
the purpose Of feeding the Industrial
workers OF mines and plants located
nearby.
This particular stretch OF land. for
instance, always has been attached to
the 'TKiesel Kope." coal mine
which employees even today $4,000
workmen. This model-farm is on
the same level and offers the same
conditions as Texas.
In order to secure the feeding OF
its large number OF workmen. the !
management OF the Kiesel mine pro-
posed to the American colony TO go /
there and form Joint company. AS
a consequence a company has been I
formed between the K1esel mine !

worimen and a nearby superphos-
phate factory, formerly owned by
Prince Jussupofr. one OF Russia's
richest men.
The government leased TO the COM
pany this stretch OF land on a ten
years contract, free OF charge out
side the regular natural tax.
The mine provides all the requir-
ed material for the electrification
OF the whole area, the benzine, the
naphtha and the transportation. The
factory distributes
entire production.
Today the Russian peasant uses
artificial fertilizer very rarely and
in small quantities. One OF the main
purposes OF the factory Is to make
