WANT
TO SEE GLYNN IN ACTION
so SCHEDULE GAME HERE

It has been learned that one Of
the big factors contributing to
Manager c. c. JamesOn's success
in securing the exhibition game
between the Brooklyn nationals
and the BOzeman An-Stars, which
will be played at the Roundup
stadium next Wednesday, was the
fact that the former team de-
sired to see Val Glynn, BOzeman
mOundsman, in action. Glynn
has already had two offers from
the big leagues.
Manager Jameson announces
that owing to the fact that this
is a pOst-seasOr game and is
secured at great expense, season
tickets will not be honOred.

For Soil

way.
HEADS Bio COOPERATIVE
Mr.. Allen, who Is at the head Of
1900 farmers who are building their
own sugar factory at Defiance, Ohio,
declares the farmers are in trouble
because they have been selling wheat
and other crops containing a great
deal of mineral matter. Selling less
wheat, corn and other crops high IL
mineral elements and producing more
milk, butter. eggs, bacon, sugar and
other crops that contain very little
mineral matter, is the remedy which
he will suggest in his talk here.
Because he IS himself both a farm
er and a business incorporating his
own farm in Ohio and at the same
time 2 coInGll q The Chamber o.
Commerce of the United States-Mr,-
Allen has been greatly in demand as
speaker on the agricultural situa-
ton. Those who are arranging hrs
address here were able to secure him
because he had already arranged &
trip to appear before business and
farm organizations in several other
cities in this section.
Should Conserve Fertility
Just because we inherited a grea:
mass of mineral matter in the shape
of soil fertility IS 10 reason why we
should pay Europe for hauling #
away says Mr.. Allen. 1--WE count
production costs and figure we sell
wheat at profit. If we also COM
puted the value Of the mineral ele-
ments in the wheat, adding this &C
! the production cost, we should find
we always sell wheat al a loss.
THE wheat farmer is 'broks' to-
day because he cannot figure soil de-
posits. He has been a poor banker
by growing wheat and other crops
that have withdrawn all the mineral
deposits. For this reason many Sec
tiOns that once grew 60 bushels OF
wheat to the acre now will grow oaly
six. That's he principal reason the
farmer can't make a profit. What
will save him is not extended credit
but rotation with sugar beets anC
other crops that take no mineral fer
tility from the sci, and at the same
time through extensive root systems
make bacteria life active in lower anc
undevelOped regions of the soil"
Advises Beet Culture
In his talk here, Mr.. Allen will ex
plain that sugar is chemically moth
ing but carbon, hydrogen and oxy
gen. The carbon comes from the
air as the result OF the suns action
on plant leaves. The hydrogen and
oxygen come from the rain. Sugar
beets merely store up sunshine anG
rain, and when these sugar contain
ers are returned to the soil IN form
of pulp fed to cattle, no fertility has
been taken away.
By selling sugar and number OF

Hard-Surface Road - Rail-

ELLAVILLE, Nov. IL. - rirt
was broken Monday when the paw
ing was started on the Schley coun-
ty stretch of State Highway No. 3.
The first contract calls for the paw
ing of the highway from the City Of
Ellaville to the Sumter county line,
where it will connect with the
splendid paved road leading out of
Americas towards Atlanta.
The entire project embraces six
teen and one-half miles, and will
extend from the Taylor county line
through the most fertile section of
Schley county to the Sumter county
line.
Commissioners have everything
in readiness to push the work for
ward as rapidly as possible. In one
place, near the J. C. King residence,
two miles south of Ellaville, the
roadway will be changed so as to
avert two railroad crossings.
1t is estimated that the first
stretch of paving, embracing two
miles, will be finished by the first
of February, 1925.
Detours will necessarily have to
be made while the hard surfacing
is going on.
