  We study the spin correlations of a few fermions in a quasi one-dimensional
trap. Exact diagonalization calculations demonstrate that repulsive
interactions between the two species drives ferromagnetic correlations. The
ejection probability of an atom provides an experimental probe of the spin
correlations. With more than five atoms trapped, the system approaches the
itinerant Stoner limit. Losses to Feshbach molecules are suppressed by the
discretization of energy levels when fewer than seven atoms are trapped.
