NEWARK POST, NEWARK, DEL, NOVEMBER ~ '9'4

You can dip it with a fork;
But that the way it goes good
On fresh fat piece Of pork.
1t has to be awful good
| tell why | know:
1t is made out Of the best tomatoes
That the State Of Delaware can
grow.
They are hauled in on spring
wagons,
Without a jolt or jar;
Drove up on scales and weighed
To find out how many pounds
there are.
Then hauled down to the factory
And taken in a door
A man stands there to tell you
Whether the tomatoes are good or
poor.
They got to be good tomatoes
Red ripe and sound;
If they ain t what the contract
calls for
The inspector turns them down.
The bad ones goes in baskets,
Hauled out on Professor Mann's
And put in to compost-pile
And scattered OH his land.
The good ones goes through a
washer
Up into a breaker tank.
They go down out Of there
With man working a crank.
They go into a cyclone
That runs with a thump.
Then it is put up stairs
With a reaveral pump.
While it is up there
1t gets cooked and is mixed
When it is through
The Inspector says it is fixed.
Goes through a glass lined pipe
That never is still
Into box, ....
Where the bottles are filled.
The bottles are heated
By tempure Of steam.
Before they go in under
The filling machine.
Then into crowner
That never does stop
Until the bottle
Has got on top.
| Then into washer
Where the water is clean
Then it goes through
A labelling machine.
Laid on a table
Where girls receive pay
To clean them off nice
And pack them away.
They are given to trucker,
A man named Dean.
And put in a place
Where it is kept nice and clean.
Taken out Of a pile
And put in a car
Then the boss gives us all
A good cigar.
The Boss on the job
We all know WE'LL
And is liked very much,
As will tell.
He says to the boys
Put them well back,
Because into this ear,
You We got twelve hundred to pack
Now that it's loaded
He says once more.
! Get board and hammer.
And nail up the door.
Now that its all over.
| am going to tell.
The best catsup that Ritter make
Is near Newark, Del.
While / am at it
| will tell all.
Our Inspectors names
Are Barnes and Ingersoll.

CONSIDER MAKING
CITY WATER TESTS
Take up the Question of Making
Analysis of Water Without
Charge to Cities.

The state board of health has taken
UP for consideration the proposition
of making analysis of water for cities
without compensation.
Under the preent arrangement, cities
are compelled to have periodic an
alysis made by the boards chemist
Prof. c. n. Kinney, and they pay him
$40 for each analysis.
Recently, the department CT cpl
technology of the state university ex
tension bureau offered to make the
analysis of the cities without compen
sation. The board will consider to
day making arrangements to the end
that the analysis may be handled il
that way or some other way without
cost to the cities.

house committee on foreign affairs.
The house is expected to pass the
Cline bill which gives the secretary

the old Toll bridge on the East Fork
and for several miles up the West and

Survey acting in cooperation. A full
set of these maps is on exhibition at
the rooms of the Commercial club and
may be inspected by those interested.
A limited supply is available for free

use for this information. The maps
may be had upon application to John ii.

gon.
The initiative bill to abolish the des-

Davidson Tells of Peculiar Soil

II. F. Davidson tells of a peculiar
soil he has discovered on his ranch in
the Willamette valley.
We have young orchard planted
on the tract, says Mr. Davidson. "In
digging down, however, found about
two feet underground peculiar subsoil
Of a chalky consistency. | brought
home good sized chunk of the sub.
stance and allowed it to become drv.
When the moisture soaked out, it be-
came very light. To determine the
capillary attraction of it | placed one
end of it in a bowl of water. The
moisture crawled up the remainder as
though it had been a lump of sugar.
81 think the rains soak down through
this soil in the winter months and in
summer when the top soil drys, it
draws it up and feeds the tree roots.
The trees on the place, where this soil
exists, have been dong well this sum
mer., despite the dry weather. The
soil seems to contain nourishment for
the trees, and in places the roots have
tlattened out to penetrate cracks in the
chalky substance.
