burlington News

Although the American Federation
of Labor refused To sanction national
labor party, labor is getting deeper and
dceper into political activities. Tn a
recent election in the st. Paul district
in Minnesota an independent candidate
running solely on the endorsement of la
Dor was returned an easy victor in n
contest for n seat in congress 1t is
interesting to note that althourh the
district s normally Democratic tho
nominee of that perry ran third which
may mean further catastrophe for that
nartv in changing public sentiment. or
that labor participation hurts that
party most. IL any event congress viii
have on" member at least definitely
representing labor interests.

New Jersey in 30 years. The brilliancy

Delayed applications
of Fertilizers

So Lack of labor on the farm, unfavor-
able weather at planting time, conges-
tion ON railways and consequent delays
&to shipments, may prevent the full and
ssproper amount of fertilizer being APP
spilled to the crop at time of planting
LATE APPLICATIONS PAY
= A late application of fertilizer as a
side dressing to rowed crops, or as a
stop-dressing for other crops, is often
quite as effective as when applied at
planting or seeding time.
Certainly it is much better and wiser
Ito make the delayed fertilizer applica-
~tion in this way than to attempt to
Ngrow n crop with no fertilizer at all, or
vwith less than the usual quantity. Re
member that fertilizer conserves farm
elabor by making it more productive
The big problem is to apply the fertiliz-
sacr with the least possible amount OF
#labor, but at such a time, and in such
"a way, as to make it most effective.
