LARGER YIELD PER ACRE
!. What Make. Successful Farming.

1t is not the question of how many
acres of tomatoes you plant this season,
but what yield you get f.om an acre.
Do you know the 1916 Government
Statistics show that the farmers of Della
ware and the Eastern Shore produced
less tomatoes per acre than any other
section of the country? There is no rea-
son why you should not produce six tons
per acre if YOU use sufficient quantity
and the right kind of fertilizer, with
healthy plants from good seed and cult
vate the soil properly. 1t makes double
expense If you plant large acreage and
the yield is not over three tons TO the
acre. Il requires more time, labor, money,
seed, land and fertilizer to plant two acres
to yield three tons each, than to plant
one acre to yield six tons. With good
seed and proper cultivation aud feittliza-
ton, you could produce twice the quantity
of tomatoes on the same land as before.
1t is the improved methods of produc-
ing a crop that makes farming profitable.
Il is practically a certainty that you will
average at least $500 to $500 a ton
this season for tomatoes. This is $50. 90
to sl0S 90 an acre, if you yield six tons
to an acre. Isn't it worth your while to
use every effort to increase your yield,
where three ton yield will only net you
S4S. 90 to S54 90 an acre.
New Jersey, onr northern neighboring
State, produced six tons per acre last
year. Why can't you
Double your yield, it cuts your cost of
planting in halt.

THE PATRIOTS RALLY.
BY e. Il. ]. Andrews.

No thought Of vengeance stirs us
As we grid us for the war
No hatred Of our foemen
For the rights they trampled DER;
No bitter feelings rouse us
As we rally to the call
But cry goes up for justice
And Wen answer though we fall.
CHORUS:
We take our stand for God and Right,
'Gainst cruel war and british Might
To keep the badge OF honor bright
For God and Flag we fight.
We've come from old New England,
From east to farthest west.
From way down south in Dixie
From every State the best
Old glory floats above US.
Defender Of the Free.
Each star. a State, in union.
with the cause OF liberty.
We go not just for glory.
For a medal or a name;
We go not for a pension,
For adventure or for fame
We've left our peaceful firesides,
our children and our wives,
To stem the tide Of slaughter
And the wreck Of human lives.
And God we trust, as ever.
To bless the cause Of Right;
To overthrown with power
Aggression's vaunted might
Go save the True! And glory
To the day when wars shall cease,
And men. the wide world over,
Shall bond the world for peace!
We've rallied to the standard
At the rattle Of the drum,
Wen answer to the rOll-can
In the battle that's to come.
Then. Forawrd Marchl and Hoo-rah,
And, Forward March! again
Step out the wrongs of kingdoms,
Step in the rights Of men!

father printed today by the New York

by the London Daily News, from it's

The dispatch attributed to the pope
the remark:
What do the entente really want?
What is their program? No one knows
and they never show any desire to
