Pretend your tears;
Get in the game,

That removes the mountain
To youths fountain;
Forget your grouches,
Also the slouches
That betray the pages
To all your ages;
A penny at the door
And maybe more;
If you're not be-styled
As little child
There'll be a.l-day suckers
And other FUCKERS.

If you spend bit
On all of it
It's not all for money,

Have a good time
If you throw but a dime;
Come one, come all
To Carr Lake hall,
On Sat-er-dec,

.SCHUSTER OPPOSES
DUTY ON POTASH
State Agronomist Says it Would
Operate Against Crop
Production.

Newark, Oct. 31.-Lcwer crop and
food production and higher living costs
were predicted by Prof. George L.
Schuster, agronomist of the Delaware
Agricultural Experiment station. here,
is the proposed five-year graduate
duty on the importation of potash
for fertilizers is inserted in the emerg-
ency tariff bill, or remains in the Ford
ney tariff bill.
Based on the present use Of potash
the proposed duty would cost the
farmers Of Delaware alone S1s2,S50 in
FIVE years, Prof. Schuster pointed out.
He added. however. that the farmer
would never pay the duty and would
insteae use 500 tons less potash an
rually although "our potash applica-
tons are already too low for economic
crop returns" The Delaware agrono-
mist is decidedly opposed 10 the pot
ash duty and denounces the idea "
IL fash industry.
"The cultivated area Of Delaware ac-
cording to the 1920 census" he said,
consists OF 1862 acres in corn; 1885,
7s0 acres in wheat: 1908 acres in
/ white and sweet potatoes. and 81
! 9l5 acres in Strawberries. These are
/ tie leading fertilized crops OF the state,
The average fertilizer applied to corn
4 is 500 pounds OF a ISL. that is, one
per cent Of nitrate, eight per cent of
phosphoric acid, and one per cent Of
potash. On this basis. 255 tons Of pot
ash aref used in this state on corn.
/ The average application Of fertilizer
on wheat is 200 pounds of ISL. This
requires 20 tons Of potash. The APP
plication for potatoes is about 800
/ mounds OF 4-e-S, which requires 51s
! tons OF potash. About 400 pounds @
( the same mixture is applied TO berries
! per acre and that makes e2 tons more
( potash needed. This makes the present
potash needs of the state 1915 tons.
"The Foraney tariff bin proposes q
/ tax on all potash imported, which II
! rassed viii mean that our farmers viii
pay s50.750 annually for the next tvs
years; $40. 800 for the third year; $780,
450 for the fourth year and s20,50i
for the afth year.
increases in crop production doe te
the use OF potash are corn, one-fourth
wheat, one-fifth; potatoes, one-third
and Strawberries, one-fourth. Della
ware farmers can use 500 more tors
of potash without over production, il
the price would permit. Our corn aue
whoat should have three per cent pos
ash, our potatoes ten per cent ans
more of it. This II used would mall'
an additional tax OF s25, 900 year 4
be paid BY the farmers. If the tax il
imposed our farmers will uss 500 tom
less instead and thus lower crop an'
food production, and increase livins
