Whereas. The present school law
in our State provides and stipulates
that boards of education of consoli-

number does not allow proper repre-

Resolved, That the Kent County

Husbandry, petition the General As

school laws, authorizing that the said
school boards consist of five mem
bers instead of three. and they be !
distributed so that the rural sections |
will have proper representation

of fertilizers and the delivery of the |
same, iis which resolution was |
adopted requesting that the eXecu-
tive committee OF The Delaware State
Grange obtain bids on and enter into |

position to deliver the goods, itencG
avoiding the necessity of Il member
having his entire needs for season

FERTILIZER DESTRUCTION

Most farmers apply fertilizers by
adjusting the distributors by trial or
by the calibration chart and then
change the adjustment from time to
time until the rate of delivery ap-
pears satisfactory. A better method,
says the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture, is to calculate. the desired
weight of material for a given num-
ber of feet of row, tie a container
beneath the distributor, and operate
il over that distance several times,
adjusting it each time until the de-
sired rate is obtained. After cali
brating the machine in this way, the
fertilizer should be exposed to the
air as little as possible, as changes
in the weather cause it to absorb
moisture from the air or to dry out
and thus alter the delivery rate.

to insure that everyone truly de-

Cross struggles valiantly TO stem
the tide, and far-sighted men who
opposed the principle of the Gov

ten millions to distribute among our
suffering humanity. There is Il de-

OF appropriations through which the
taxpayers money is being distribut-
ed with reckless generosity.
England rushed headlong into the |
dole system and that Nation is suf- |
fering from its effects. German Fl |
nancial Minister Dietrich now pro-
poses a plan for averting the dan
ger Of the dole, which appeals to
men who jump at their conclusions.
