FRED L. WILLIAMS. Ssaford, Del. says:

The year before last I was pleased to
find that my average yield was 1,141
pounds per bushel of seed. I attribute
these wonderful results in good mea-

plump and among the finest quality he
had received. also don't think would
want anything better for tomatoes than
3-8-1O."
J. C. BROWN, Grssnsboro, Nd, says.
"The biggest crop of tomatoes ever
obtained was grown with 1870 POT
ASH. For the first time, am also using
1919 POTASH on my wheat, feeling
that I shall obtain better results

NORMAN B. WARNER. MarYdsl, Md. says: "I
would not farm without fertilizer high in potash.
I am now using 1910 on my tomatoes and have
obtained most satisfactory results. TO- % POTASH
improves the color of my tomatoes and makes
them solid and meaty. 0-10-10 on my wheat is
most economical and helps me to raise good
crops. I averaged 80 bushels of wheat per acre"
MAX LINDNER, Cambridge. Nd. says: 81 consider
my investment in fertilizer very carefully. The
brand / use must pay. 1t is my practice to use
1910 on tomatoes because it produces good,
solid fruit have also noted this with early green
raps. usually average IL barrels of corn per
and use 1919 POTASH on this crop also"

Roads of Delaware

Delaware excells in god roads,
especially since the state took over
those controlled by the county.
Shrubbery and well-paved roads
greatly improve the attractiveness
of Delaware. Macadam, concrete,
gravel and hard-surface dirt roads
are kept in good condition and
adorned by grass, gress, and flow
ers. Easy access to all parts of
the state is the least of a travel
er's worry.
Safety, another very important
factor of every state, is also taken
care of in our state. Roadhouses

Success

Behavior and obedience are the
two main factors by which one
may become successful in later life.
Maybe you are brilliant in school,
but what is that if you cannot
obey and behave. One is recon-
mended more highly for his abiI-
ity to obey orders rather than
merely mental ability.
A person is judged in most cases
by his first impression, therefore

FRED. w. GORE. Cambridge. Md. says: Il am
a firm believer in 3-8-10 fertilizer for toma-
toes. 1t helps the vines to grow in healthy
fashion and makes plenty of fruit of very
high quality. The figures speak for them
selves. Our yield on IL u acres was 900
baskets per acre of excellent quality toma-
toes. These were marketed for more than
S3,400.
"I averaged about Is barrels of corn per
acre and on this crop used 2-8-10 fertilizer.
1t makes good, strong, tell stalks and we'll
filled-out ears"
Smyrna times., 1937-04-22

E. M. TULL Of TULL BROS, seaford, Del, says,
sour principal crops are sweet potatoes, canta-
loupes and tomatoes. 1t is usual practice to
use 5-8-12 fertilizer on the lopes and 1910
POTASH mixture on the sweets and tomatoes.
We are satisfied that land needs plenty of
potash to obtain best results and therefore we
only those fertilizer mixtures containing maxi
mum quantities of potash"
Smyrna times., 1937-04-22

ROLAND MUMFORD, Seaford. Del, says: 1--WE
used 1870 POTASH on our tomatoes last
year and we're very much pleased with the
results. We truly believe that farmers have
not used near enough potash for best results,
You can't get any better fertilizer for canta-
loupes than 5-8-12. 1t gives us bigger yields
of better quality melons of larger size. We
had the same experience on pickles with
5-8-12."

Congress will be subservient to his
desires because business and Govern

few weeks as never before under the
present administration. It is not a
case of mutual affection by any means,
but common interest, intensified by
dire necessity. For while there are
some persons who still take a casual
attitude toward the events of the
moment, it will be recorded some day
that the autumn of 1887 was turn

that it marked either the beginning
of a collapse Of the capitalistic system
in America or the beginning of an era
of peace between Government and
business in which the principle of in
dividual initiative and private capital
was saved from destruction. These
are truly historic and momentous days,
