FRIENDLY FERTILIZERS

Some fertilizers, like some people,
| just don't get along together.
Chemists of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture have been
making careful studies of chemical
reactions in fertilizer mixtures TO
be able to warn farmers and manu-
facturers against undesirable COM
binations of materials. Some COM
binations cause loss OF plant food
while others render plant food un-
available to crops.
knowledge of such reactions has
become particularly desirable be-
cause Of the increasing use of am
monium salts as sources of nitrogen
in fertilizers in place of more ex-
pensive nitrates and organic am
Ihoniates. Because these ammon-
ium salts have a greater tendency
to cause acidity in soils than the ma
terials they have displaced, lining
materials are being added to fer
tilizers containing these salts to
overcome the acidifying action.
When ordinary limestone is used
for this purpose, only a limited
quantity can be added; otherwise re-
action between 1t and superphos-
phate in the fertilizer will render
some OF the phosphoric acid un-
available as plant food. Similarly
the use of ordinary limestone in
considerable quantity, in fertilizer
mixtures containing ammonium
phosphate is likely to cause loss of
ammonia II supefphosphate is not
present. But If dolomite, a kind OF
limestone in which half the lime is
replaced by magnetism, Is used,
neither of these undesirable reac-
tiOns take place. !
The desirability of dolomite as a
lining material for mixing with fer
tilizers is enhanced by the fact that
it also supplies magnesia to soils
some of which are deficient in this
plant food.

THINGS ONE REMEMBERS
By R. N. Hofer

| ny II. NJ. f1OIeF
Politicians who offer the widest
schemes promising to lift the people
by their boot straps above every
problem that besets them, are gen.
orally men who maintain little or no
business of their own, and who pay
a minimum of taxes.
A mediocre public off1cial-a SER
want of the people of you please
when clothed with temporary gov
ernmental authority, too often as
sumes the roll Of master of the peo-
pie.
When one scans the qualifications
and ability of many public SER
wants, one trembles to think what
would happen to the Industries and
employment OF the nation If their
success rested in the hands of such
managers. And yet men who never
had the management or spending of
four bits in nickles of their own,
when elected or appointed to public
Office, have a free hand in spending
millions and billions of taxpayers
money for every kind Of scheme un-
der the sun.
The official tax spenders are not
liable for waste, inexperience or
bad judgment. Their worst penalty
is defeat for political office. The pub
lie pays the bill.
If private business were run by
the same inexperienced management
there would be no taxable assets to
maintain government and finance
political experiments. fa F
The farther government gets away
from the functions of governing and
into competing business with its
private citizens, the greater becomes
the danger of undermining consti-
tntiopal safeguards drawn to pre-
vent entrenched officialism, and the
more active must the people be-
come inprotecting their Individual
liberties through a careful wedding
process in choosing their public ser
wants.
No manager of an industry or
housewife would knowingly keep a
wasteful employees. No property ow-
ner or voter should knowingly keep |
a wasteful public servant.

MIRA Is Keystone

The relief-recovery-reform pro- gram for labor and industry has its keystone in the National Re- -covery Administration. The CWA, .PWA, and other job relief, pump priming, money pouring agencies now are attracting most attention, but NRA is the vehicle of indus trial planning and Roosevelt has promised that it is here to stay.
 Last spring labor was grooming Under unemployment, part-time work, slashed wages, Industry was suffering from cut-throat, below cost competition, declining prices, and dwindling demand.
 Business men, admitting the mess they were in, were asking more government supervision.
 NRA wasn't originally a Roose- welt plan. though it gave him a vast grant of power over industry, made codes subject to his approval, and empowered him to bar corpor- ations or individuals from doing Business if they persistently vio- lated codes.
 It grew from the Black 30-hour week bill and an industrial demand for relaxation of antitrust laws.

CRIMINAL NET IS
 BEING FILLED
(Continued from Page 1)

(COnt1nued from rage lI Needham outrage. Early today, the hunt centercd in suburban Wellesley, only a few miles from the scene of the double murder.
 What investigators regarded as the most important development overnight was the recovery in a baggage compartment at Union station, Washington, of a Thomp- son sub-machine gun stolen from state police exhibit at the Bos- ton automobile show a few weeks ago and later allegedly used to slay the two policemen at Needham.
 The machine-gun. with other weapons and ammunition, was in one of two suitcases which had been checked at the station by the Millen brothers during a recent visit to Washington.
 Authorities itemized the contents of the suitcases as follows: One Remington automatic 12gauge shotgun with cartridge belt con- taining 22 12-gauge shells: 10 gas bombs; one gas mask, one black cap, one gray felt hat, one pocket knife, one roll of adhesive tape; two pistol holsters, one red mask, one blue mask, five Colt automatic .22 calibre target pistols with nine loaded clips of .22 long cartridges, one box of .38 calibre cartridges, three boxes of .22 long cartridges, one box of .32 calibre cartridges, roll of wire and a hundred S1 bills.
 Previously a police raid on Q Dorchester garage which had been hired by the Millen brothers had revealed an arsenal that included everything stolen from the state police exhibit except the sub mahcine gun found in Washington last night.
 Police said they had definite evil dence to link the trio held with the Needharn $13,900 robbery and | double murder, the staying of Err nest w. Clarke, Fitchburg sporting goods stare manager; the murder | of Fred Sumner, bill poster, in q | hold-up at the Paramount theater in Lynn; and several other rob- | berries.
 Two Boston taxicab drivers, Clement Molway and Louis Ber- rett. have been on trial for their | lives at salem, charged with the | murder of Sumner. Closely fol- lowing the apprehension of the Millen brothers, the trial was abruptly halted yesterday, the chief prosecutor, District Attorney Hugh A. Gregg, devoting the day to conferences with state police and with Faber, one of the three suspects in the Needham killings. | The trial was to be resumed today. , Norma Brighton Millen, the at- tractive 19-year-old brunette with whom Murton Millen eloped after a summer vacation romance at

 here by train from New York last night. Mrs Millen, who was with
 her husband when he was ar-
 rested, was accompanied by her
 minister father, the Rev Norman

Critics or Recovery
 Scathingly Lashed
tContinued from Page II

, for settling labor disputes in con- nection with code administration" Johnson recalled that when he took the post of administrator, he
 predicted that "dead cats" soon
 would be flying aroundN his head,
 "that the administrator could not
 avoid assaults of great and power- full interests on many acts of ad-
 ministration and on every personal
 ground that could be invented" He said he and his staff always
 had been and would continue to
 welcome and receive every justi- fable criticism. But many charges against MIRA, he said, were simply unfounded in fact. He took up
 many of them point by point.
 l. The charge that MIRA has
 delivered less than it promised. Johnson said he estimated last June that 3,00O,OOO could be re- employed through MIRA. He de- clared this, prediction had been borne out 92 per cent and payrolls
 had been increased $3,000, 100, ,000. ?. The contention that MIRA | has increased prices faster than | purchasing, and thus has done
 more harm than good. Johnson's
 answer was citation of national in- dustrial conference board figures on the cost of living, which show l cd an index of 77,9 last September
 when major codes became effec- | tive, 77.3 in December and 77.8 for February. 3. That MIRA resorted to "bally-
 hoo" and false indictment" This charge, said Johnson, comes from
 "enemies of higher wages" who
 "object because we went over their heads straight to the people with the blue eagle and showed workers how they could co-operate to get
 the benefits intended for them by
 this act"
 4. That MIRA is biased and re- cents criticism. In answer to this Johnson pointed out that MIRA was set up with q system of counter
 balances, with labor, industrial and consumer boards each presenting | their recommendations on every important action and that public hearings preceded nearly every decision. "To me the continued as
 sertion that we resent, or repel of ! ignore criticism Is an absurd and | bowling irony on an organization which has done more to make vi-
 brant criticism the breath of its
 life than any other on record" | 5. The complaint that there is constant friction within NRA. By it's very nature, "contreversy or l conflicting views of adversary in terest is of the very essence of
 MIRA" Johnson answered.
 The administrator defended his staff against personal aspersions
 declaring they have given theii
 strength and ability and health and manhood--like crusaders in a holy
 cause, and to limits of devotion tho like of which I never saw even in the war"

new and much tighter drive for compliance. move in a closing up of our ranks for a new forward movement by NRA. Chance or circumstance may stop 1t, but you are not going to stop 1t or even make it falter."
 Johnson addressed hundreds of delegates = representing nearly every shade of thought from com munistic to extreme conservative who answered his invitation to come to Washington and register any complaints or criticisms. After his address, the delegates split-up in half-a-doZen sessions to dissect NRA from every angle.
 Following this public criticism, all code authorities will assemble Here March 5, to overhaul the codes eliminate unavoidable provi- sions. shorten hours and mass fore es for the new offensive.
 Johnson said he already was aware of ths following sweeping changes which must be made Tn the MIRA code structures:
 T. A more uniform and equit- able rule of national price stabil- ization in those cases where 1t IS necessary to maintain wages at a decent standard against the certain results of predatory and cut-throat competition, and further insurance against increase of prices faster and further than increase of pur- chasing power.
 "2. A more effective rule on costs for purposes of maintaining rules against sales below costs Of production. -
 "3. Uniformity of wages and hourly rates in competitive indus- tries.
 A. Uniform classification of areas for the purpose of the north south differentials.
 "5. Further deductions in hours per week and further increase in hourly wages.
 "6. Certainty of protection against monopoly control and op- pression of small enterprise. /.
 "7. A much improved method for securing prompt and effective compliance.

 "9. Elimination of inconsistent or conflicting provisions among various codes.
 "10. Adequate labor and con sumer representation in an advis- ory capacity on code authorities.
 II. Uniformity of government tai representation on code author ities.

 MT Scully served on the board of public works for eight years during which time he acquainted himself with city affairs, and dur ing and previous to which time he made himself acquainted with the early and current history of Wat erbury, not only civically, but also regarding all other aspects of the city's history. He remarked to the writer of this article just recently that Waterbury's history was al. ways of great interest to him; that historically it was a place that had a. most interesting story; and that he had in years past made d point Of studying Waterbury, it's past and present.
 He served also on the board of aldermen, of which board he was president, and as city auditor for two years. These duties together with his four years as mayor gave him a keen insight and far reaching understanding of Water bury's civic record. Among his other affiliations was that of agent of the Bronson Library fund, and later his appointment as president of the library board of agents, in which capacity he now acts. He is also a member of the board of edu- cation.
