III PAYS TO FERTILIZE
A GROWING crop

Green manuring is a practice
growing in favor among our good
farmers in Sussex county states
County Agent c. r. Snyder. Farmers
realize that this is an excellent
method for increasing the fertility of
their lands, especially on our light
soils. However, the fact that this is
a method of improving land some
times leads farmers to try the prac-
tice under conditions in which it
cannot be successful.
The chief object of growing a COW
er crop is to turn under. On very
poor soils it frequently happens that
even the strongest feeder can make
but poor growth and hence the
benefit from the crop is decreased.
Even cowpeas will at times make
Onl va poor growth unless aided by
an artificial fertilizer. When a le-
gume is grown, the addition of nitro
gen is not usually necessary, as the
legume will gather its own nitrogen;
but an application of phosphorus and
potash will often increase the crop
greatly. This fertilizer when applied
on the legume is not wasted either
as it will be available for the next
crop when the green manure crop
decays. What fertilizer to use and
how much will depend on the soil
and on the crop but generally 800 to
400 lbs. of 169o superphosphate and
100 lbs. of potash per acre will be
found to aid the green manure crop.
The largest crop, if a legume, will
gather more nitrogen than a small
one could and the soil will receive
CORRESPONDENCE greater benefit 1t
is also good practice to apply stable
manure to poor spets so as to en-

Dear God in Heaven, we come tC
Thee
With prayerful lips and bended
knee
Forgive us all our sins, we pray,
And keep us faithful all the way.
Our trials are many, our joys are
less
Lord give us strength to stand life's
test.
Thou knowest best, just what to
give,
Eut help us, Lord, each day to live,
So our light for Thee may far out
shine
The worldly things for which men
pine.
We ask all this i'll Jesus name,
Who dwells in Heaven, from whence
He came;
And when at last, our race is run,
May we hear the blessed words,
well done!"-Amen.

AUTO AND TRUCK IN CRASH
Benz. F. Kirby of Milford, in Dover
Hospital With a Fractured Skull

Benjamin F. Kirby, 46 years old,
of Milford, is in a critical condition
at the Kest General Hospital as the
result of an automobile accident be-
low Dover Friday afternoon. Kir-
by has a fractured skull, is injured
otherwise, and has not yet regained
consciousness. Alton P. Beebe and
Theodore Hazard, Of Milford, who
were riding on the truck which fig
ured in the collision with the car of
Kirby, received slight scratches and
bruises. Hazard, who was driv-
ing the truck, was held under $500
bail for a hearing on technical
charge of assault and battery. Ac-
cording to the State Highway Po-
lice, the truck and car were pro-
ceeding toward Milford when the
accident occurred. Some part of
the touring car of Kirby, it is said,
fell from the car into the road and
the car skidded over it. At the
same time the truck apparently
struck the same piece of iron and
touring car and truck went over an
abutment with the truck falling on
the touring car.
