EARLY TOMATO PLANTS
FOR GREATER YIELDS

AS this is the season of the year
when tomato plants should be set III
the field if increased yields per acre
and a higher quality of tomatoes are
tn he secured, those farmers who are
interested in realizing greater pronts
from their crop should plan to set
out these early plants some time De-
tween now and the last of May, ac-
cording to the commentators
which are being sent to all the toma-
to growers by County Agent Russell
F.. Wilson, who has been working on
thisp hase of tomato Improvement
for the past several years.
Although these early plants are
great factor toward the production
of more and better tomatoes per acre
a warning is being given along with
this program in regard to the IN
creasing of the acreage, for II Ine
tomato industry in this section Oh
the United States is to be placed on
a more profitable basis for both the
Gamers and the growers, 1t must
consist of following the practice OF
raising more and higher quality to-
matoes from a fewer number OF
acres.
The time of setting tomato plants
has a remarkable influence upon the
Weld. as shown by the fact that these
early plants which are set between
the dates of May Is and 30 are able
Tn make considerable more CROWN
and they also have an opportunity TO
set a larger percentage of tomatoes
than those plants which are set out
as late as the first week in June. ke-
suits in Maryland have shown that
tomato plants which were set Ill the
field as early as May 20 produced
~ tons per acre, as compared to a
Weld of only As tons from plants
that were set out June l or later
MANY farmers in Delaware are pur-
chasing the southern tomato plants
while others are growing their own
in the cloth-covered cOldframes, but
in either case the higher yields per
acre are obtained if these plants are
carefully set out and plenty OF high
grade fertilizer is used. In order to
secure the most profitable yields
from these early plants it is advls-
able to use from 800 to 1000 pounds
of q 4-S-1O fertilizer per acre, part
of which should be placed in the
rows a few days previous to setting
the plants, and the balance applied
broadcast over the field.

MUMBLING OUR WORDS

Are Americans falling into the
habit of mumbling their words?
Trained public-> speakers, teachers
and many citizens who give partlcu-.
lar attention to enunciatiop and pro-
nunciation are easy to understand,
bnt there are tends of thousands OF
people who popularize the Wora
"what" by miss-speaking tnelr
words. E
plain speech is very important to
telephoning, and lot of people VINO
get the wrong numbers might haye
better luck if they pronounced their
words with as much force as they
voice their complaints. Recent inyes-
LEGATIONS of telephone conversations
in which 10000 words were noted
showed that only 2200, or less than
three per cent, were different WORDS.
Ninety-five per cent Of these con-
versation were carried on IN IVY
words.

OPEN OR SECRET
FEED FORMULAS!

Since the cooperative feed organ
izations began to manufacture feeds
from open formulas thousands Of
poultrymen have asked why other
did not publish their
formulas. On the surface it sounds
like a fair and reasonable question.
One legislator tried to put bill
through to this effect but it was de-
feated. Unfortunately their is no
known method of chemical analysis
which will check a manufacturer
statements. A formula may call for
200 pounds of meat scrap and 200
pounds of fish meal but if the man
ufacturer could buy fish meal ten
dollars per ton cheaper than meat
scrap he could use $50 pounds of fish
meal and $50 pounds of meat scrap
and no chemist could prove legally
that the feed was not according to
the formula.
Then we have the even more i'm
portant matter of quality of lngred-
tents to be considered. Ground
oats" may mean a product made
from heavy high grade oats or one
made from light oats that are mostly
hulls. The meat scrap may be OF
the highest quality or it may be
loaded with pork fat, yet it is meat
scrap. The same holds true with
every product used in making poul-
trv feeds. AS the Agricultural Bull
letin No. go issued by the State oi
Wisconsin puts it, There are nc
methods of chemical analysis which
will check a manufacturer state
ments. Therefore, if the open form
ula is to be the standard upoI
which feed is to be bought, the dis
honest manufacturer will get the
business and the honest manufac
turer will be driven out. 1t opens
the way for fraud and misrepresen
tation to the consumer and dishon
est competition for the honest man
ufacturer-the very thing which feet
laws aim to prevent. We are Opposed

GREEN MANUREs

Its effect on the quantity and quail
ity of the succeeding crop is usually
the farmers measure of the desira-
bility of green manuring, but failure
to get an increase in crop yield can
not always be blamed to the green
manure, say soil scientists of the u.
S. Department of Agriculture. The
decomposition of green manure IS
influenced greatly by the tempera-
ture and moisture of the soil. Most
soil bacteria need a temperature of
65 degrees to 20 degrees, or even
higher, for rapid activity. Lack OF
moisture may also retaTd decompo-
sition. Experiments showed that
under the best conditions succulent
green manure was nearly all decom-
posed in days; at temperatures be-
low 65 degrees the rate was slower
and more than IA days were needed

Two of the economically and stra-

more and more assuming the lead

although the Wafdists, the polit-

clearly exposed as an agent of Brit

crowd in India, the movement
against British imperialism has al
ready assumed a mass character.
The fact is borne out by recent
happenings in Egypt, notably the
GENERAL political strike in AleXan-

all the necessary fearless militancy
and indignant fury that accompany
mass revolts. The strike was called
for two hours by the Wafdists, al
legedly to show sympathy to
Egyptian martyrs in recent polit-

The campaign to establish the
much needed Party training school
for functionaries in this district is
well on the way.
All plans with regard to curri-
culum, instructors and maintenance
of students have been completed by
the district Agitprop department.
The school is scheduled to open the
first week in August. All registra-
tons must be in the district Agit-
prop office not later than July is.
In view of the concentrated study
course and the consequent necessity
of limiting the number of students,
all applications that come in after
the above date will not be con-
sidered.
The revolutionary unions are par
ticularly urged to greater interest
and initiative in taking advantage
of the offer to the unions to select
five students each. The acute lack
Of functionaries in the revolutionary
unions constitutes a very serious
problem in the development of the
revolutionary unions into mass or
CARNATIONS of struggle. The train
ing school offers an opportunity to
develop fresh functionaries for the

The chief course in the school
curriculum will be the course on
organization and the trade union
course for which a complete and
comprehensive outline has been re-
ceived from the Red Trade Union
International. Comrade R. Baker.
district organizer of the Party, will
lead the class in organization, and
j. w. tombstone, district secretary
Of the TUUL, will be the instructor
in the trade union course.
All working class organizations,
revolutionary unions and sympa-
thizers with the working class edu-
cation movement are urged to send
in their contributions towards the
fund for financing this vitality i'm

With this out of the way, Senator
Reed, for the treaty, made a speech
for ratification in which he showed
that American imperialism won
victory over its imperialist rivals at
London, arming itself upward "from

preparation for either war to seize
markets and colonies from Britain
or to prevent Britain from grabbing
more than the allotted share of
territory in the common war on the
Soviet Union secretly agreed on at
London.

japan stands stock still, and we go

claimed.
Yet these eighteen cruisers are

of more than billion dollars, while
