POMONA GRANGE MEETS

The Sussex County Pomona Grange
met with Columbia Grange, near Del
mar, Thursday, April goth, with all
the officers present and Worthy Mas
ter, J. D. Thompson, stated that 1t
was the best session ever held of the
Pomona Grange. The following reso-
lutions were lively discussed and un-
animously adopted:
1. This committee wishes to extend
it's thanks and appreciation TO
Columbia Grange for their well
come and splendid refreshments
that was enjoyed by all present.
Therefore, we move that a rising
vote of thanks be extended to
Columbia Grange.
2. We move that an order in favor
of Columbia Grange be drawn on
the Treasurer for $500 as usual
compensation for entertainment.
8. In view of the fact that potash is
one of the needed plant food ele-
ments in our fertilizer and that
this country has no natural de-
posits of potash, we strongly op-
pose any tariff on imported po-
tash.
4. We go on record favoring the i'm
mediate completion Of the Muscle
Shoal Nitrate plants now being
considered by Congress.
5. We favor a law requiring fertil-
izer manufacturers to stamp on
fertilizer bags the source from
which the formula is composed
and the pounds Of each as well as
the analysis.
6. We recommend to the Subordinate
Oranges the Eastern States Far
mers' Exchange plan of co-opera-
tive buying of fertilizers and farm
supplies and suggest they COM
municate with the State Farm
Bureau Federation Office at Dover
in regard to having someone visit
their Grange and explain the plan
at some meeting in the near fu-
ture.
z. We favor the enforcement of our
State and National laws especial
ly those pertaining to liquors and
speeding on our highways.
8. We favor the next Legislature ap-
propriating money sufficient to
complete the State aid roads now
contemplated.
8. We also favor the next Legisla-
ture appropriating money to sup
port the farm project work now
being carried on by the University
of Delaware.
TO- We move that copies of these res
olutions be sent to the county pa
pers for publication and that Sen
ators du Pont and Ball and Con-
gressman Layton be sent the res
olutions pertaining to Potash Tar
iff and the Muscle Shoal Nitrate
Plant.
