used, limited to four percent. BY
ommitting the potash and by the
purchase of such ingredients as
mentioned above one would be able
to cover more trees and thus in
crease yields, be believe, without
any serious trouble.
In the first mixture given above,
namely, ammophos B, superphos-
phate, and ammonium sulphate, we
would recommend the application
of the ammophos and super this
fall, thoroughly disking it in. The
ammonium sulphate should then
be applied in the bitches just be-
fort blooming in the spring. With
the second mixture, namely, ammo
phos A plus ammonium sulphate,
we would recommend the applica-
ton of the ammophos A and one
pound of ammonium sulphate per
tree in the fall thoroughly disking
this in and the addition of the re-.
manning 2 1-2 pounds sulphate be-
fore blooming in the spring. In the
third mixture ammonium sulphate
and super, the superphosphate and
8 1-2 pounds of the ammonium
sulphate should be applied and
thoroughly disked the orchard and
follow this with the 3 pounds of
ammonium sulphate in the spring.
The rate of application per tree
must be determined by the grow
ers themselves. The amounts rec
commended above are for orchards
showing considerable need of fer
tilizers. Care must be taken that
fertilization is not overdone, al
though we believe that there is
less danger from this where an
abundance of phosphate is used.

INTENDED ACREAGE FOR
EARLY POTATOES FOR 1881

Report under date of November
Is of intended acreage for early
potatoes for 1881 shows 191, 800
acres. The acreage for 1880 fas
1890; for 1929, 135, $50; for
1928, 216,430; for 1927, 1880;
for 1926, 1880; and for 1925,
127,16O. Early potato growers
will undoubtedly be interested in
these figures.
According to the forecast it
would seem that early potato
growers in order to be successful
another year should, as far as is
within their power, grow a crop
which will mature as early date
as possible.

For years political students have
known that the bulk of the polite

The nation is suffering right at

lack of party responsibility and of

Good Times Are
Here Again Once
So Sings Rex Brown, Local
Chevrolet Dealer With
Brand New Cars

Chevrolet will build and sell a
million cars in 1881, according to
Rex Brown, Chevrolet dealer,
on his return Tuesday from Seat
tie, where he attended one of the
fall dealer meetings being conduct
ed by the Chevrolet Motor COM
pany. On this basis, Mr.. Brown de-
clared Chevrolet sales in this sec
ton would be more than 25 percent
greater than in 1880.
Mr.. Browns statement was based
on studies of current conditions
and surveys of the future made by
the Chevrolet Motor company and
announced at the Seattle meeting.
.sThe studies and surveys show
that business is improving and
1881 promises to be one of the best
years we ever had" Mr.. Brown
said. Business is coming back,
slowly but inevitably Money is
plentiful at cheap rates at rock
bottom and mills, factories and
wholesale houses reports orders in
increasing volume.
"As for Chevrolet, our company
IS one of the most stable indus
tries. We are better situated than
ever before. Our used car stocks
are at bottom. In the first ten
months this year our organization
sold 100000 used cars, an all
time record. Our new car stocks
are equally low. Our 1881 models
are larger and the finest and the
cheapest in Chevrolet history.
They are coming out two months
in advance Of the customary time.
There is normal replacement
market of 100000 cars in Amer
lea. That plus the deferred buying
that will show up in 1881 promises
an excellent year. The first of the
year will witness pronounced
Improvement. Next year should
rank with the best years in auto
mobile selling"
The new prices on the Improved
Chevrolet are being announced in
this issue Of The Courier Reporter.
