MEMBERS WILL
BE ASKED FOR
SUGGESTIONS
Rudolph lose Compliments
Organization Upon Its Re-
sponse to Expansion Idea

Detailed plans fol. carrying on
the five-year expansion program
OF the Washington Chamber of
Commerce will be revealed at a
dinner Of the membership Tues.
day night at $3.50 o'clock in the
Willard Hotel, it was announced
today by Rudolph Jose, chairman
OF the expansion program com
mittee.
In making the announcement,
Jose declared:
"The splendid response to the
five-year expansion proposal
that is coming from our officers
, and members, as well as from
Washington newspapers and
the public at large, is q source
Of deep qualification to the
members Of the expansion COM
mittee. hope that every
chamber member will make it
. point to attend the dinner
next Tuesday night to get the
full picture Of our plans and
their great importance In. the
Washington forward move
ment."
Arrangements for the dinner
include a number of brief talks,
followed by a general discussion,
lat which time suggestions from
the members viii be heard. The
lnemberS will be welcomed by the
house committee, headed by
Charles H. Frame, chairman.
Figures released in the current
report of Chamber of Commerce
income and support, made by the
National Association of CONNER
cial Organization Secretaries, tend
TO show that the washington
cI1amber is receiving far less sup
nort than the chambers of other
lies, according to officials of the
lGcal organization. The report,
mich is the only official compila-
tim Of Chamber of Commerce
& ures, shows the following facts:
Capital Surpassed
but Of IA cities, with population
81 200, 900 or more, the average
ifleome of the Chamber of Com
nlerce is $13O.533 per annum. In
Washington, the combined income
81 the three principal trade bodies
rs less than $50, 900.
The average membership dues
for the chambers in these same
Cities is $31 per year, while the
membership rate of the Washing
ton chamber is but $40.
Officials Of the local organiza
ton believe that these figures tend
to show that support of the Cham.
Der of Commerce In Washington is
much less than that of the cham
bers of other cities.
1t is the aim of the five-year ex
pansion program not only to in
crease the membership, but to
arouse an interest in the activities
pof the chamber which will put il
"a q level with the chambers OF
other cities throughout the nation

POLICE
Insurance Underwriters and
Fire Department Seeking
Origin of Fifth Recent Fire

A three-fold investigation aimed
to dispel the mystery of origin
of the $4,000 blaze which swept
the Hub Furniture Co. ware
house, First and Pierce Streets
Northeast, yesterday, was being
pursued today by the police de-
partment, the fire department
and insurance underwriters.
The investigators will attempt
to determine whether the latest
fire is linked in any way with
four others which swept ware
houses of the company within
the last 20 months.
Shelby Orders Probe
Immediately following the blaze
yesterday, Inspector William s.
shelby, commander of the Detec-
tive Bureau, ordered an inveStiga-
ton into all phases of the fire.
Reports had trickled into
Shelby's office to the effect that
is men at work in the ware
house. when the fire broke out
failed to give any information
concerning the origin; that a
colored truck driver hurried from
doorway from which smoke was
seen to issue a few moments later,
and that the series Of blazes may
have been of incendiary origin,
rather than condolences.
Shelby announced that the po-
lice inquiry will include an exam
ination of records of employees
present when the blaze broke
out yesterday.
Loss Estimates Differ
Efforts of Fire Department off
cials to determine the cause Of
the blaze failed yesterday after
a careful investigation amid the

Fire Marshal Charles G. Ach-
stetter set the damage at $50, 1000.

the furniture firm, fixed the
company's loss at $4,000, while
| william F. Nash, owner OF the
building, only a shell Of which
remains, put his loss at $4,000.

Fertilizers for Dairy Farming

Prem seventy to eighty percent of Connecticut dairy farmers use no supcrphosphate tacid phosphate) az shown by a recent survey. Yet on their farms pastures are SO poor that the grain bill is nearly as large in the summer as in the winter; most of the hay is only grass; yields are trihe more than ton per acre and thrce-fourths of the acres in silage corn field less than ten tons
 There must by some vital reasons for the situation just stated l be lieye the first is that manure alone IS fertilizer enough. The yields ob- tained show that manure is not enough as 1t is now used. The ex- planati0n for that Is that manure Is low in phosphorus. Manure has fer tilizer ratio of 2-i-2 and in addition our soils are relatively low in rhos- phorus. high in nitrogen and in potash. Most of our fertilizers have l-2-i ratio tone per cent nitrogen to two percent phosphoric acid and ~~e nave4-s n0tnshl nr even a ratio

Wholesale prices of superphosphate are but little hi~her than they were twenty years ago. but handling costs are much higher. Buying in ear lots eliminates several items of expense.

Certified Seed Potatoes


 Continued success in potato rais- s ing k dependant upon many factors. ! Certified seed Is the factor that 1 should be considered at this time. For a number of years stress has been laid upon the value of certified seed
 In summarizing the records from number of growers in the state during the year 1880, it is again forcibly apparent that yields. from certified seed lead Records of 37 , growers who used certsiied seed show an average production of BPS bush els per acre. Records of two grow CTS who had seed one year away from certified gave a yield of 21a bushels. The seed used in each case was certified in 1928, grown in Con necticut in 1929. and showed up so well as to yield that year that the grower thought that a part Of his acreage could be planted with this seed It looked all right. By using this seed the grower saved about $ B 00 in seed purchased. He prob ably lost 49 bushels per acre if his total yield is compared with the 32s h'ehels average yield obtained from the g farms on which certified seed was used. At market prices of 90 cents, this 49 bushels decrease gave loss of s44.fo Deduct the $500 probably saved on seed purchased and the grower using seed one year away from certified is out about S8G00. The sum of S36.00 will gen erallv pay for the seed for an acre, or the fertilizer for an acre. or the .prnying for an acre It did not pay to use seed one year away from cer- tified.
 Two growers used home-savcd seed. No records were available as to whether this was certified seed in previous years. It may have been in 1927. Their yields were 232 bush els. They probably saved $500 on seed purchased. When their yields are compared with the certified seed users fl Is found that there is diff ] ference Of 9G bushels At market ! prices of 90 cents. this is a reduc- J tion in income of Ss6.40, or net reduction of S7s.40. This did not f pay.
 \ Therefore. may | again urge all growers to use certified seed. lf you |. have been using certified seed and | have been obtaining satisfactory ! yields. try to obtain the certified seed from the sources which you have tested and know to be satisfac- tory \ small amount of seed from \ one or two other sources should be ' compared with this satisfactory ! strain. In that way it is possible Co measure the value of your source of certified seed and also to prove the value of other strains
