MODERN POTATO GROWING
METHODS DOUBLE YIELD

Excellent records of potato yields in
spraying and disease-free seed demon
strations have been compiled from re-
ports sent in by twelve counties, by
the agricultural extension pathologists
at the Pennsylvania State College. In
dications are that last years records
will be shattered in spite of the un-
usually poor growing conditions ex-
perienced during the last season.
Yields from twelve counties show an
average of 246.6 bushels per acre for
sprayed potatoes, an increase of 1929
bushels over the unsprayed, or 7S per
cent. The state average increase last
year was TAT bushels.
Disease-feed seed gave an average
yield of 1881 bushels in twelve coun-
ties, an increase of 96.5 bushels over
home grown seed, or 69.8 per cent.
Last years state increase average
was sixty-six bushels. 1t would ap-
pear that good seed and spraying will
double the potato crop with proper
attention.

POSTAL IMPROVEMENT
week IS OBSERVED
May ! Sees Inaugurated First
General Campaign of
Kind in Service.

Without the Postal Service, business
standstill in a week. Public opinion
would die Of dry rot. Sectional hatred
or prejudice only would flourish, and
narrow-mindednes thrive.
1t is the biggest distinctive business
In the world and 1t comes nearer to the
innermost interests of greater num-
Der Of men and women than any other
institution on earth. No private busi-
ness, however widespread, touches so
many lives so often or sharply; no
church reaches into so many souls,
flutters so many pulses, has SO many
human beings dependent on its min
istrations.
"Postal Improvement Week" has
been set for May 1, by the Postmaster
General. This is the first general cam
paign Of it's kind in the Postal Service
for several decades. Business men
and their organizations, large users of
the mail, newspapers, motion pictures,
advertisers, and the entire organiza-
tion of $4,000 postal workers are to be
enlisted in this countrywide campaign
of interest in postal improvements.
Your help Is vital. Address your let
ters plainly with pen or typewriter.
Give street address. Spell out name
Of State, don't abbreviate. Put your
return address In the upper left hand
corner of envelope (not on the back)
and always look at your letter before
dropping In the mail to see II It is
properly addressed. This care In the
use Of the malls is for your benefit and
speeds up the dispatch and delivery
Of mail matter.

TWENTY ANCIENT TOWNS
Wilmington In List and Is Older
Than Philadelphia

Following are the names of the
oldest twenty towns in the United

were organized:
st. Augustine, Fla, 1856; James
town, Va, 1907; New York, 1913;
Plymouth, Mass, 1920; Albany, N. Y,
1928; Peniquid, Me-, 1925; Salem,

GARDEN DIARY is VERY
IMPORTANT TO BEGINNER

A gardener who is just starting out
on his career as raiser of vegetables,
as we'll as the older gardener, should
make it a point to keep some sort of
a garden diary, even if it is no more
than marking dates on the calendar.
An ideal plan is to make diagram
of the garden on a sufficiently large
scale to permit of notations of plant
ing dates, maturing of crops and
record of mistakes and vegetables
which did not thrive for one reason or
another.
Notes should be made as to whether
the planting produced more than was
needed or less, so that another sea-
son the quantity of the particular crop
planted may be increased or decreased
to suit conditions.
An experienced gardener knows
fairly we'll what he can expect but
he generally makes a few notes. A
new gardener will find that such
record will be of the greatest help
to him. 1t is also useful to note in
terplanting schemes and good garden
Wrinkles employed by ones neigh
bors.
The plan should show where the
perennial crops which are fixed guam
titles are located in the garden. ~

PRESERVING EGGS
IN WATER GLASS"
This Is The Season For Putting Away
Surplus Supply For Later Use

Fresh eggs stored in accordance
with the following directions will re-
tain their freshness of flavor and ap-
pearance for many months and will
be found entirely satisfactory both
for cooking purposes and table use.
This plan is widely followed, but
could, to great advantage, be gener-
ally adopted by consumers of eggs
everywhere, in country and city alike.
1t would mean that every provident
family could thus have good eggs
to use freely in fall and winter at
the low price of spring eggs.
The preservative is a solution of
sodium silicate, commonly known as
water glass. This syrup liquid may
be secured from druggists and deal
ers in poultry supplies. In the coun-
try it is commonly carried by general
stores. And many department stores
in the city have supply on hand
during the season. In many cases
it is sold merely as "egg preserver."
When purchasing a supply it is well
to explain that the sodium silicate is
to be used for preserving eggs in or
der to secure the proper grade. Ger
tain commercial grades are too aka
line to use for this purpose.
The solution is made as follows:
Boil a sufficient quantity of water
and allow it to become cold. Combine
water and sodium silicate in the pro-
portion of nine parts of the former to
one part of the latter, by measure,
stirring briskly to insure even mix
ing.
Place the eggs in suitable contain
ers and pour the solution over them,
covering the upper layer of eggs to a
depth of one or two inches. Lay
plate on the eggs to prevent any from
coming to the surface. Cover the re-
ceptacle tightly to prevent evapora-
ton of the preserving solution. Store
in a reasonably cool place and inspect
occasionally to see that no eggs are
uncovered as a result of evaporation.
If this happens, prepare some more
of the solution and pour it into the
receptacle, covering the eggs to the
depth specified above.

Hanark Theatre

Louis Handloff, proprietor of the
new Hanark Theatre, has arranged a
very excellent program for this week
and announces that there will be a
special matinee on Saturday, at which
time children will be admitted for
five cents.
The picture offered tomorrow will
be "The Lone Wolf" the principal
parts in this picture are taken by
Hazel Dawn and Bert Lytell. These
two stars have often been seen here
as stars and one can imagine that
it is some picture with the two play
ing opposite one another.
A picture that will drive away the
blues will be featured on Friday when
Mack Sennett's "Love, Honor and Be-
have" will be shown. This picture
features the really funny man of the
screen, Ben Turpin. "Nuff sed."
The story of mother-love supreme,
"The Greatest Love" featuring Vera
Gordon will be seen on Saturday.
This picture has been a hit in all the
bigger cities and Newark movie
"fans" are lucky to have an oppor-
tunity to see it at popular prices.
One of the biggest pictures on the
silver screen today will be shown on
Monday and Tuesday when Douglas
Fairbanks will appear in "The Three
Musketeers." This is one of the really
worthwhile movies of the day and
1T compares with the regular movie
like opera does with ragtime. Newark
people will have chance to see Doug
at his best in this picture.

A FEW SUGGESTIONS
FOR SMALL GARDENS

To get the most out Of garden space
arrange the plot so that late vege-
table will follow an early one, etc. !;
the following small garden layout is
suggested for a space Is by 25 feet.
Spring spinach, followed by bush
lima beans.
Early beets, followed by mush
beans.
Late carrots and swiss chard.
Early carrots, followed by late let
tuce.
Onion sets, followed by mush beans.
Bush beans, followed by late beets.
Earl dwarf peas, followed by celery.
Early radish and early turnips.
Early dwarf peas, followed by cell
cry.
Elephants.
Early lettuce plants.
Tomato plants.
Early caulifower plants.
Tomato plants.
Early cabbage plants.
Tomato plants.
Seeds are to be planted except
where plants are specified.
Beets, carrots, radishes, onions and
turnips may be planted in double
rows, about a foot apart.
Prepare the soil by deeply turning
under leaves, manure or other decay
ed vegetable matter. When sufficient
growth warrants give top dressing of
general fertilizer, just before a rain
if possible.
Avoid getting any commercial fer
tilizer on the stalks or leaves of any
vegetable.

TIL A NIX YOU
WITHOUT STREET ADDRESS
YOUR MAIL is DELAYED
AT OFFICE OF DELIVERY

The Dead Letter Office has been in
existence ever since Ben Franklin
started our postal service. Even then
people addressed mail to Mr.. Ezekiel
Smithers, Atlantic Coast" and ex-
pected Ben to know just where Zeke
lived.
Perhaps they had Zeke's address in
letters up in the garret, maybe a chest
full of 'em, but then it was easier to
let Ben hunt Zeke. Today people are
addressing letters to John Smith, New
York, N. Y, or Chicago, ILL.,, thinking
Uncle Sam can locate him, which is
just as incomplete as was Zeke's ad-
dress of yore. The Postoffice Depart
ment asks you to put the number and
street in the address. 1t helps you.
