The youngster was capable enough as a performer but could not reach a salary agreement with local officials. However, as the Tarboro Serpents were desperately in need of an outfielder, "Soup" proceeded to the Edgecombe capital with the strong recommendation of directors | of the Williamslon club. Following the conclusion of the 1938 season Campbell was sold to New Orleans for one thousand dol lars and at the present time the sen sational youngster is hitting well ?bove the .300 mark and fialding his position nicely. More Changes In Team Person n el Additional changes are being made in the personnel of the Williamston Martins in a conscientious effort by the Messrs. Lilley Brother to again present Williamston fans with a winning ball club. Solly Myers, one of the most time ly hitters in the league, was purchas ed from Portsmouth after his recall from Tarboro Tnaneffort to enliven the Martins' puch and Lewis, also newcomer is performing credita bly at the initial sack. Skipper O'Malley on Monday an nounced the terms of the acquisition of Kimrey. left fielder, who is re placing the injured Charlie Sellers. The red-headed manager "indicated that Joel Tierce received his re lease, while New Bern officials did the same in Kimrey's case, allowing a type of trade with no cash involv ed The management tendered to the loyal fans a most pleasant surprise Sunday afternoon when Bob Emer, a Newark. N J., recruit and only 21 years of age, set the league leading Greenies down with only two saie ties m one of the best games from a local standpoint, seen this year. The righthander performed last season with Dover in the Eastern Shore lea gue and seemed to have a world of stuff including superb control. With the addition also, of Braxton Rhodes who pitched beautiful ball against Goldsboro Saturday until his re moval in the seventh stanza for a pinch hitter, the mound staff seems to be in tlu- finest fettle of the sea son and Should be at least on a par with anyj- Tn the league Prospects all^ all seem at this stagi- of The race /to be the brightest in some time witf^every department of the game well manned and bol stered by good reserves.

AAA Compliance Work Requires Aid ing made under the Agricultural j Conservation program, and it is es j sential that the compliance super visors have the full cooperation of each individual farmer, says E. Y. i Floyd. AAA executive officer of ! State College "The acreage figures I obtained at this time will form the basis for benefit payments," he ex plained. Floyd said that compliance super visors well visit every farm, and in the 80 counties where aerial photo graphs are available, the acreage de voted to each crop will be dcsignat ! ed on the individual farm map. The , acreage will be checked for accur acy from the aerial photographs, i The AAA officer also called atten {lion to soil-building practices which can be carried out at this season. , While most farmers are too busy during July to build terraces, plant trees, etc., many can sow peas and other legumes and place orders for ground agricultural limestone and triple superphosphate. The Triple-A is offering lime and phosphate this year under the grant of-aid system, Floyd advised. Orders are taken for the material now for immediate delivery or for delivery in the fall. Except for freight and hauling charges, there is no cash out lay necessary at the time of delivery The cost of the material is deducted from soil-building payment which will be received next winter. Of course, payments are offered for the use of lime and phosphate within soil-building goals. To date, fanners in 26 counties have ordered 2.538 tons of triple-su perphosphate and in 61 counties have ordered ground limestone to taling 48,040 tons. Summer Is Critical Period For Ixnvns July and August is the critical period for your lawn, advises John H. Harris, landscape specialist of the State College Extension Service. The lawn mower should be set high to prevent cutting the grass too close and unless facilities are available for continuous watering, it is better not to start, he said. The usual cause of brown lawns in summer- is insufficient humus in ttrr~5ottr HaTris~stat?tr In order To hold moisture, ihe soil must have organic matter such as manure, woods mold, peat moss, or some oth er similar material. No amount of commercial fertilizer will replace this necessary element. The extension specialist further advised that those shrubs that have finished flowering may still be ed. If seed pods are removed from pink spirea, it will bloom several times during the summer. All seed pods and old flowers shnnlH hp rp-> moved from flowers to keep them blooming. If shrubs are to be kept attractive, they should never be cut flat across the top, but, instead, should be thinned out from the ground, removing old canes and per haps shortening the more vigorous ones, Harris explained. Small shrubs and trees, especially newly planted ones, should be work ed around just as if they were a crop. A good substitute for cultivating, howeveKis a mulch of leaves, straw or other sqgb material. No grass should be allowed to grow around small plants. Ii is especially imporr tant to mulch azaleas, rhododen drons. and other acid-loving plants since several of these plants will not tolerate cultivation around their roots. United Slates Gets HOc On The $10,000 When the government closed its war debt books recently at the end of the semi-annual installment day, it found it had received 80 cents for each $10,000 due. Only one nation, Finland, paid in full?a payment of $160,693. One other of the 13 debtors, Hun gary. paid something on account ? $9,826. One nation. Rumania, said it was ready to offer a settlement, but did r.ot state its terms. Eight nations sent their regrets, together with promises to discuss set tlement at some time in the future. They were Estonia. Great Britain, Latvia, Lithuania. Yugoslavia, Bel gium, Poland and Italy. Poles for Lights in Local Park Delivered Last Night A week over due, ten large poles for lighting the local base ball park were finally delivered here last evening at 9 45 o'clock, the club owners announcing this morning that installation work will get underway early tomor row. Although today is a general holiday, the Messrs. Lilley Bro thers are making arrangements for having the work started to morrow. It has been estimated that the forces of the Virginia Electric and Power Company can com plete the installation work in three days, but it is not likely that they will handle the task and make the necessary tests in time for a night game with Wil son here Friday. Present indi cations are that the Martins will play under the lights on the home grounds when they meet Goldsboro next Monday. Much interest has been shown in the lighting program, and it is believed that attendance upon the games will climb when the night schedule goes into effect.
