FERTTLTZINC THE TOMATO CROP
(By A. E. hinduism

ia Experiment Station has shown that
tomatoes respond wonderfully where
available phosphoric acid is literally us

increases the yield of the succeeding
crop. Potash is necessary to produce
and 10 make the vine disease resistant.
What to Use
A-3-O-6, that is per cent ammonia,
10 per cent phosphoric acid and per
cent potash is recommended for toma-
toes grown on Eastern sandy soils,
3-1Q-4 on clay soils, are best where no
manure is applied. When manure is used
in quantity the potash percentage should
DC decreased. III wei balanced fertilizer
and when used in sufficient quantity il
is productive Of fine results.
How Much to Use
If a grower received $500 per ton for
his crop. or from As to so cents per BUSH
el, he should use not less than 500 to 600
pounds of fertilizer per acre. IT, how
ever, through selling to an early market
or for some other reason he obtains
still higher price per ton or per bushel,
up TO 1000 pounds of fertilizer will give
him much higher acre profit. Finally.
If the trade grades the product and pays
a bonus for grade 'A' tomatoes. then
an acre application of 1,200 pounds or
even more will pay well. Liberal feed
ing Of the tomato crop is a paying prop
osition.
How to Apply Fertilizer
Fertilizer for tomatoes is best applied
through the fertilizer attachment of a
grain drill or through a broadcase lime
and fertilizer distributor. Part of the ap-
plicatiOn can be made through the potato
planter fertilizer attachment, which will
open the furrow, mark the row and ap-
ply up to 600 pounds of fertilizer per acre |
in one application. Many growers apply |
part of the fertilizer through the attach /
ment on the transplanter. Many grow |
ers find 1t profitable to side dress the /
crop with 200 to 400 pounds per acre, us /
ing regular cultivator with top dress
ing attachment. A fertilizer bugle, con-
sisting Of either long funnel or a
length Of hose tied in the corner Of |

Is thrown over the shoulder and a hand |

RE-EDUCATING A PROFESSOR

hL-LDbOAlING A PROFESSOR
Recollecting some of the things
college professors have done in man
aging public business in the last few
years, the people of the country will
await with apprehension the perfor-
nance of the professor of politics who
has just been made a member of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Not knowing anything in particular
about Interstate Commerce, he is
quite sure to get an education on that
subject at public expense-and if the
cost of educating some of the other
professors may be taken as a criter-
ion, the cost may be appalling.
Professor Garfield was made coal
administrator, and we had heatless.
lightless, workless, payless days and
nights in almost all lines of industry.
Professor Taussig, g,-chairman of the
Tariff Commission, according to re-
ports, was the advisor who induced
President Wilson not to buy the Gu
ban sugar crop, and the country is
paying a billion dollars for the educa-
ton of this professor in the elements
Of practical economics.
A private enterprise undertaking to
deal in either coal or sugar would Sc
lect as its manager a man who knew
something about the business as a re-
suit of practical experience. The Will
son administration. headed by col
lege professor as it is, deems prac-
tical experience of little value, and
assumes that even though a man may
have spent his life preparing himself
as a lecturer on one subject, his col
lege diploma enables him to work the
miracle of conducting affairs con-
cerning which he is wholly ignorant.

THE SMYRNA TIMES has had an
experience which is no new-thing to
many in the printing business, and it
is pleasure to know that the labor
trouble which came to our neighbor-
ing publisher. has been solved, and the
Smyrna Times has not been suspend
ed for even one issue. The Smyrna
Times is one Of the Oldest continuous
weekly papers printed in Delaware,
and the fact that it has met the situ-
alton brought about by trusted en-
ployees leaving without any notice,
tells the story of reliability and con-
hdence in the business by the owner
and manager, Robert Hoffecker. It
is difficult in these days to get down
TO a basis of confidence in any situa-
tion where labor is a basic principle.

Good tomato crops are profitable. while
average crops pay the grower little
more than day wages. The grower who
is successful uses methods that insure
large yields and high quality obtaining
these two, he is assured a big profit. An
abundant supply Of suitable available
plantfood is essential to obtain these
profitable yields. Lacking sufficient
food. the plant will not have uniform
healthy growth upon which depends the
yield and the quality.
Fertilizers and Uniform Quality

amount Of waste resulting from green

tomatoes ripened evenly and the aver

handling from 1000 to 1000 bushels Of
tomatoes per day will especially appre-
ciate this aid to high quality stock.
Tomato Plantfood Requirements
The tomato requires a plentiful supply
OF nitrogen, phosphoric-acid and potash.
Nitrogen produces leaf and stalk growth
and is vitality concerned with the yield Of
fruit; where leaf growth is deficient more
nitrogen should be used in the fertilizer.
II, on the other hand, a good crop Of
clover has been turned under. the amount
Of nitrogen In fertilizer will be reduced.
Early varieties require more nitrogen
than late varieties, since they must make
a vigorous growth early in the season !

nitrogen supply in the soil available.

ity and good quality fruit. The tomato /

IN CHANGING THE TRAIN sched.
ule on the Delaware Maryland and
Virginia branch which serves Milford
there has been a lessening of the
railroad service for Milford and the
people of this vicinity. While the
leaving time has been set back the
arriving time at the city end has been
changed so little that it is neglible.
The schedule absolutely wipes out
any possibility of forty or more per-
sons who used the first train north
each day from Glendale and Lincoln
to come to their work in Milford,
reaching their places before eight o.
clock. To remedy this an auto bus
line will be started TO bring the
workers at the Caulk Laboratories
and the Milford Chronicle Publishing
Company plants, and-to return them
home at night. This cuts the receipts
to the extent of possibly over a thous-
and dollars each year in this one item
alone. The north bound train on Sun
day is eliminated entirely, and If the
people desire to go to or from near
by towns for business, they must use
the automobile, or stay away from
home all day. Fortunately, the new
concrete roads are getting in shape
to make travel possible at all seasons
Of the year, and this scrambling Of
the passenger service will for that
reason not work so much inconveni-
ence. The farmers and the people OF
Delaware built this branch of the rail
road system in Delaware, and it has
become the property Of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad by reason Of purchase
OF the outstanding stock for a few
cents on the dollar Of valuation, and
the farmers have reason to expect at
least reasonable treatment The idea
seems to be to squeeze the lemon dry
regardless Of results. The freight
rates have advanced in the past four
years until its costs thirty-seven cents
per hundred to ship blank paper in
cases containing six hundred pounds,
from Philadelphia to Milford. We
have stood for advances in freights,
advances on passenger fares, and for
any old form Of charge during and
since the war, and now we must stand

yell as industry. What's the solu-
ion?

IF THE PEOPLE of Delaware were
to be permitted to express their de-
sires through a referendum vote as to
their choice for the man to fill the

the next four years, they would by a
very large majority register their
preference for T. Coleman du Pont,
one of the greatest of the active bus
mess men of the present day, and a
man who is growing larger as each

is a big man, and far larger than the
people of Delaware realize, especial

KENT COUNTY will emerge from
an antiquated system of government
at the beginning of another year, as
the result of three laws which have
been enacted by the special session
of the present legislature, which
change the method of making the as
sessment of real and personal prop
erty, and creating a system of gather
ing the taxes through a Receiver of
Taxes, and the creation also of a
Three Commission form of govern
ment to take the place of the ten com
missioners which have conducted the
business for the past fifty years, upon
a system which had out-grown its
usefulness. Senator James f. Al
lee introduced these bills at the reg
ular session two winters ago, but they
were lost through a lack of under
standing and a bitter difference in
the Republican Party membership Of
that session. He re-introduced them
at the present session, and they be-
came laws by overwhelming majori-
ties, and are generally approved by
the leading political parties. These
laws are constructed all right, and it
will all depend upon the personel of
the men who have the first terms and
the organization Of the offices. This
can be accomplished very largely with
the guidance of precedents of ex-
perience with similar laws in Sussex
and New Castle counties, and when
they are in operation, there will be
more general satisfaction with the
equity of assessment, the fairness of
collection of the taxes, and the prac- /
tical business methods of the three
form of doing things.
