An agitator above each seed opening prevents the seed from bunching or bridging over the openings. We have a McCormick-Peer-ing Beet Drill on our floor ami will be glad to point out its seed-saving featu>es —also its wide sowing range, multiple speed, adjustable width, and ability to handle corn, peas, beans, sorghum, and other seeds. A built-in fertilizer feed is available if desired.

ONE lcxiks toward the Washington Senators—and what does one behold but a dazzling. almost blinding sunburst, like the political cartoonists employ to get across a stunning idea. In this case, the idea may be labeled PENNANT. The idea burns hotly in the Senators’ camp, and sends its aurora- | like circles far and wide over the j baseball horizon. Even our own ; dear spotlight of fandom is taken i in by its luxuriant glow. We’ve got i to string along with the rest, and ay that the Senators look- good enough to finish first or .second in the American League. That’s how \ they look. From where ye sit, it is hard to find a weakness in the aggregation that ou nor < lark Griffith has dished out for Joe Cronin to serve up this season.

BARNEY ROSS TO i FIGHT PETROLLE Chicago. Mar. 22 iU.P.i Harney ! Ross, clean-cut young Chicago | lightweight, encounters one of ■ those time-honored ' pitfalls along the rocky road to success” tonight | when he goes into the trenches ; for ten rounds or less against 1 Billy Petro’le, the formidable old Fargo Express. They top the Chicago stadium's i first card since Jan. 111. Ross. put it mildly, is meeting his supreme test. If he ran l make I’etrolle wrap chat dirty old Indian bla ;ket around his shoulders and slink to his dressing | room a whipped warrior, then j Harney will have proved nis right 1 jto a lightweight championship j wrangle with Tony Canzonet'!. But if Pe roile uncorks a flood f those trip-hammer punches that have nr ed manv young men's! | championship hopes, and pound- j or a victory over Ross, then it will mean that Ross simply Is not j ready for a top flight encounter, i despite his prim and rosy record The local fistic clan is so confused over tonight's struggle that ! the odds on the on come have j i brtn bobbi'.'g and shifting like a: stray derby in a hurricane. They j ; have moved with bewildering rapidity from p to 5 on Pet mile to I even money. Much depends on , the question of Hilly's weight. He Is under signature to hit 13R pounds or less a' the offices of the boxing commission tlds afternoon. and Ids strenuous labors in he emporiums lately seem m indicate that the old Fargo Exj press has been having , trouble working off the ounces. Ross Is a | natural lightweight and will be around 135 pound*. If you have live stock or 1 farm machinery to'sell briny: i to Decatur Community sale.

and canniness no end. The team looks as if it can move along swiftly under all that power. Question: Swiftly enough to pas? the Yankees? i Certainly the Joseph will have to ; consider himself a flop if he can’t manage a team like the Senators into a close race with the Yankees. The trades made by Griffith brought “Goose" Goslin and Fred Schulte to replace West and Reynolds in the . outfield, and the southpaws Walter Stewart and Earl Whitehill to bal--1 ance the mound contingent. That fellow- Luke Sewei] whom the Senators obtained from Cleveland is a I brainy receiver and fans consider his acquisition well worth the loss if Fred Spencer’s hitting abilities. And so the young Cronin can alibi not at all if things don’t happen when the Senators commence. This slam-hang shortstop, just turned 26, will endeavor to turn in j the kind of work achieved bv a predecessor, the then youthful ; Bucky Harris, who led the Senators to a world championship in 1924. Here’s a bit about Cronin, lie’s

i the youngest man ever to wear the managerial shoes of a major league team. A native of San Francisco, > he went into league baseball from high school. He was taken on by ' the Pirates before he was 19, went to the minors and then-to the Senai tors in 1928. In 1929 he hit .262 and then boosted to .300, where he seems well established. In 1930 he i hit .346, and was voted the most ' valuable player in the league. Things look good for Cronin and for the Senators. It is believed that he will have no trouble handling the team. Notable is the fact that there will be little embarrassment on the score of having to boss a flock of veterans who were formerly his playing pals, because there are only a few of those veterans on the Senators. Only Bluege ! at third and Myer at second have ! been with the Senators more than two seasons as regulars. And so there is as much opti- j mism about Washington as there is | in \\ ashington. And that stacks up pretty high. CißirrljEht. 193? Klne Feature* Syndicate Ine
