Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson
will give Shakespearean readings
under the, auspices of the Society
of Fine Arts, Wednesday, Novem-
Der 70. at the Fontenelle hotel.
This English actor of note has
achieved success both as Shakes
pearean characters and as painter.
Forbes-Robertson, born in Lon
don, son of ]. Forbes-Robertson,
the eminent art critic and journal
list, was educated at Charter. House
and in France, and also studied
painting at the Royal academy. He
came to America the first time in
1885 with Mary Anderson, and with
her played the roles of Pygmalion,
Romeo, Orlando, Ingomar and
Claude Melnotte. Later he joined
Sir John Hare in "Tosca," Lady
Bountiful," and other plays, and
then returned to Irvings produc-
ton of Henry VIII"
In 1900 he married Gertrude FL
lott, who had been member of
his English company for a year.
She has since taken leading roles
in almost all the plays in which he
has appeared both in this country
and abroad, and won great success.
He was knighted by the king in
1915.
So great has been his success as
an actor that comparatively few
people recall his talent as a painter.
His original purpose was to become
an artist, and with this in view he
studied for several years in the
Royal academy and in France at
Rouen. He was commissioned by
Irving to paint the famous church
scene from Much Ado About
Nothing" This notable work of
art was bought by the Players
club of New York, and now hangs
in the club house where it is an
nually shown to thousands of the
admirers of both actors.

Last week Plants 2 and 8 shut down
in all except the finishing departments
to complete the patches of powder
which will take a week or two more to
do. Most of the old native workmen
have been transferred to Deep Water
Dye works where construction con-
tinueS with a large force.
Plant 1 continues to make powder
with a reduced force.
The Town DOD, Delaware Ordnance
Depot, continues to grow with about
5000 men employed at war time
wages. About 200 double side build
ings have been constructed in which
to store powder and 200 more will be
constructed. Some of the powder to
be stored is expected to arrive soon.
About $50 soldiers arrived last Fri
day to act as guards to the Depot.
They came from a large vitriol plant
at Cincinnati and are housed in the
barracks. More are expected to make
the number 500.

They Rang Again

Last Saturday evening the Church
bells in Penns Grove rang for half an
hour in commemoration of the adop-
ton of the prohibition, 18th amend
ment to the U. S. Constitution.
When the ringing of bells December
IS, 1865, announced the ratification of
the 18th amendment abolishing slav-
cry, John Greenleaf Whittier, the
Quaker poet, went home and wrote a
lengthy poem, two verses of which
are as follows:
It is done!
Clang of bell and roar of gun
Send the tidings up and down.
How the belfries rock and reel!
How the great guns peal and peal,
Fling the joy from town to town!
Ring and swing,
Bells of joy! On mornings wing
Send the song of praise abroad!
With a sound of broken chains
Tell the nations that He reigns,
Who alone is Lord and God!

CONSERVATION OF LABOR

In years past we in America have
been prOdigal in all things. We have
been careless with our natural re-
sources, we have drawn relentlessly
on the fertility of our soils, ard we
have frequently shown poor judgment
in the utilization of the one item which
is more costly in America than any
where else in the wOrld-the item of
labor. Being Americans we did what
we pleased and when we pleased, re-
CARELESS.
For q concrete example let US con-
. slider 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 Ia
Dor prevailed among the farmers to
whom The fertilizer industry sold its
goods. During November and Deem
Der farmers and their labor had as lit,
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 hat 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 them
better attention; roads We're 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.
1t would have been so easy to have
gained this better distribution of la.
Dor and saved so much for both par,
ties. But it took a big war and a ter
rife shortage of labor to make us real
ize that early orders and early ship
ments were much more satisfactory,
far less costly, and not productive of
the anxious delays so common under
the old system.

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. 1t seems that it appears only
under exceptional conditions Of wealth
er and malnutritiOn.
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 as 3
per cent potash be applied. Fortu-
nately American sources of supply can
now furnish this food in sufficient
quantities.

New Jersey State Corn Show

The Corn Show held during State
Agricultural Week in Trenton was
one of the largest features of the en-
tire week. There were 1856 entries
of corn from the various counties of
the State, some of which had exceed
ingly strong competition in the show.
Mercer County led with the largest
number of entries, having 70 in num-
Der, and was followed by Burlington,
with 70 entries; Cumberland, AZ;
Morris, IS; Atlantic, 25; Camden, 81;
Bergen, 10; Ocean, 10; Salem, II;
Sussex, 6; Somerset, 5; Gloucester,
3; Essex, 8; Middlesex, 2; Passaic, q;
Hunterdon, 1 and Warren l..
Prof. Nicholas Schmitz, of Pennsyl-
vania, a judge of much repute stated
that it was one of the best corn shows
he had ever judged.
The Frelinghuysen Cup was won by
Burlington County, which had the bst
exhibit considered from the standpoint
of quantity and quality.
Cumberland County was a close
second to Burlington; Mercer County
was by far the leading county from
North Jersey and deserved much
credit, along with Burlington and
Cumberland. Camden County had a
very high quality of corn, but the ex-
hibit was not large enough to win
over the other counties. Atlantic
County, Cape May, Ocean and Salem
Counties had cyeditable exhibits. In
North Jersey the counties which de-
served special mention were Mercer,
Bergen and Morris.

enc shows that you can do a great

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 ca. set PROBABLE
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 hoed crops),
but if a piece of sod land, ever if
somewhat thin, can be given $50
pounds of commercial fertilizer with a
light dressing of stable manure, it will
invariably produce a 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.
