Tell Us About TenIeytOwn.

HARRY J. BROWN, Washington
correspondent, saw a news story
about Tenleytown the other day IN
which the name was spelled two
ways, as above, and Tennallytown.
This spelling of the name of our
venerable suburb two different ways
is shocking" he writes. While we
are at it, what is the right way to
spell it. and where did the suburb
get its name?%
The W. r. & E., which runs line
through the suburb which 1t de
clares is losing money, makes Offt-
cial reports to the Utilities Com
mission spelling the name TENNAL-
.LYTOWN. ,
Now let's hear from historical
authorities.
An automobile thief stole CECIL

To the police and feared he would
never hear from it again. Riding
on a Pennsylvania avenue car a
few DAYS ago he saw a man driving
the machine up the Avenue. The
license number had not even been
changed. Jumping off the car while
it was running fast H0AG hailed a
taicab and directed the driver to
follow the car ahead. A merry chase
followed but the thief finally jumped
out of the stolen machine and left it

maximum of its vigor, and you will find that the roots scarcely meet be- tween the rows. The great mass of feeding rootlets are immediately. un- derneath the whorls of potato-bearing stems. The sketch shows this-and this Is the reason why part of the fer tilizer should be applied in the hill.
 Just how much is needed in the. hill depends on climate. In Western. po- tato-growing regions not more than 300 or 400 pounds should be so used. The rest should be applied broadcast. In the truck-crop regions of Maryland, Virginia and Delaware, the amount which may be applied in the hill may be somewhat larger. In the Aroostook region of Maine many growers put it all in the hill, finding this the most economical way of handling the fer tilizer.

MORE MONEY FOR TOMATOES
Larger Crops and EeIter Duality ns!S,
 Bigger Profits.

Good tomato crpI,S are arofitahl Average crops pay ;Ac gro, CT little pore than d:y waCeS. Tha grower who Is successful uses methods that insure large yields and high quality. In few sections, average yielGs do not exceed two tons, yet in New Jer. sey on farms delivering to single cannery, there was a total of more than 5000 acres where the growers last year averaged about seven tons per acre. Twenty-Five per cent of this area yielded between 10 and 12 tons to the acre. A number of middle Western growers have averaged over 20 tons to the acre. Large yield, quality and big profits go hand In hand.
 Humus the Life of the Soil.
 Soils containing plenty of organic matter will start tomato plants more quickly, cultivate more easily, and carry the plant through a period of drought more certainly than will those lacking humus. Field observation es- tablishes the fact that many tomato growers have allowed the organic mat ter of the soil to become exhausted, and many low yields can be laid to this cause. Most Eastern tomato grow CTS can now get little or no manure. Many Western growers are having the same trouble. Many depend largely upon commercial fertilizers.
 An abundant supply of suitable avail able plant food is essential to most profitable yields. Without sufficient food the plant does not possess strength to

STRING OF FREIGHT CARS $50

Just think of a single gigantic train extending from Chicago east, on any of the main trunk lines, as far as the Niagara Falls. When you think of this you will have some faint idea of what wartime car saving means, when ex- pressed in terms of results accom- plished last year by a single industry.
 The fertilizer industry in endeayor- ing to cooperate with the government, last year undertook to ship only in full carloads. The previous year the aver age carload of fertilizer had been about 20 tons-only half of the car occupied. Last year this average was raised to over 30 tons per car, with the net result that the equivalent of more than S7,000 car trips were saved.
 Other industries must also fol low the same plan. Lime, feed, fertilizers, all sorts of materials. must be shipped in full carloads. The way to accomplish this is for consumers to foresee their needs; and foreseeing their needs to place their orders early --so that there will be time enough for full carloads to be made up. Immedi- ate shipment, as early as possible, must also be the rule-so that neither the manufacturers storage, nor the dealers storage may become over taxed.

coNSERVATION OF LABOR

In years past we in America ht ] been prod!cal in all things. We i, ], been careless with our natural .. sources, we have drawn relentle s>:2 on the fertility of our soils, and Nc have frequently shown poor judscmeNt in the utilization of the one item WhicA Is more costly in America than any where eise in the wOrid-the item of labor. Being Americans we did what we pleased and when we pleased, re- gardless.
 For a concrete example let us con- slder the annual distribution of labor in the fertilizer factories of the coun- try. In March and April twice as many men were employed as in the months of November and December. Why? Simply because the vast ma jority of orders were filled in March and shipments were nearly all de- manded in March or April.
 The same unequal distribution of la bor prevailed among the farmers to whom the fertilizer industry sold its goods. During November and Decem-  tie to do as at any time of the year, and in March and April they were as busy as bees. Taking a day or two from blowing or sowing in order to haul fertilizer was as painful as pull ing teeth. Yet that was exactly when the hauling was done. ,... ..
 Why was not the fertilizer ordered in November and hauled home in De- cember or January? The manufactures would have welcomed the orders and he could and would have given thea better attention; roads were usually better for hauling in winter than in early spring, and there would have been none of this delay at the all-im- portant time of seeding. ,..
 It would have been so easy to have gained this better distribution of la- Dor and saved so much for both par ties. But if took big war and ter rife shortage of labor to make us real- ize that early orGers and early ship ments were much more satisfactory, far less costly, and not productive of the anxious delays so common under the old system.

ence shows that you can do great deal to control the yield-the per cent of early matured heads, and the quail ty of your crop. Such information means dollars to you.
 If you want prize-winning cattle you feed them an abundance of well-bal- anced food. You can get profitable bumper cabbage crops by proper crop feeding.
 Maryland experiment station says:
 "Late cabbage especially does not do we'll on land that has been cropped every year (without a grass or legume crop intervening between hood crops), but if piece of sod land, even if somewhat thin, can be given 750 pounds of commercial fertilizer with a light dressing of stable manure, it will invariably produce good crop"
 = How to Apply.
 A complete fertilizer should be ap- piled at the time the cabbage ground is being prepared to receive the plants. This is best done by drilling in the fertilizer with a grain drill fitted with fertilizer attachment, or by broadcast ing with a lime and fertilizer broad caster. When the latter method is followed, be careful to work in the fer tilizer by thorough disking and har- rowing.

POTATOES CRY FOR POTASH

Phoma stem blight is the name of the new disease which has created so much trouble in the big potato-grow- ing sections during the past summer. Growers have become greatly alarmed and have appealed to Washington for aid.
 The specialists, however, do not think the disease will be serious, nor do they think that it will be hard to control. It seems that it appears only under exceptional conditions of wealth CT and maluutrition.
 The department officials are inclined to lay the major portion of the blame on unbalanced fertilizer-that is, using fertilizer lacking potash. They claim that this disease will disappear on remedying the condition of malnu- triton and recommend that next year a fertilizer containing as high SIS 3 per cent potash be applied. Fortu- nately American sources of supply can now furnish this food in sufficient quantities.

PUT SOME FERTILIZER IN HILL
Potatoes Are Not Good Foraeers and Must Have Some Available Plant
 Food Close at Hand.

One essential to success in raising potatoes is to have some available plant food In the hill (although not touching the seed piece) so that the new rootlets can begin feeding imme- diately. This makes big difference in many ways-in the start which the young plant gets, in its ability to out grow weeds and in its power to shade the ground and thus prevent water from evaporating.
 The reason why fertilizer must be close at hand is, of course, that the po- tato is not good forager. Dig down into a hill after the tubers are well formed and when the plant is at the
