POTASH VALUE
IS RECOGNIZED
Its Importance as Plant Food
Stressed By n. V. Potash
Export MY Association
DEL-MAR-VA PENINSULA

From the earliest day of farm
ing in Del-Mar-Va, potash has
been recognized as an important
plant food for profitable production
of most farm and vegetable crops.
One of the mos tpopular fertilizer
mixtures used in this area is the
I2-8-10. While the tonnage of this
mixture may not be as high as
some others that are sold, it is
used on more farms and on a
greater variety of crops tha any
other complete fertilizer.
For a number of years, the 2-8-
10 fertilizer has been officially rec
commended by the New Jersey,
Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia
Experiment Stations. In all of
these stations it has been regarded
as one of the best sweet potato
fertilizers available. Perhaps more
tons of this mixture are applied to
this crop than of any other mix
ture. 1t has stood the test OF
years because it supplies the nitro
gen and potash in the best ratio
and has consistently given good
yields Of high quality chunks" de-
manded by eastern markets.
Other analyses supplying nitro
gen and potash in the same ratio
are 3-3-15, 3-8-15, and APO The
first two of these grades have
made considerable progress in re
cent years and are in a consider
able degree replacing the 2-8-1(
because of economies effected il
purchasing and handling. Thes,
more recent analyses are equally
as good as the old 2-8-1O provided
they are supplied in sufficient
amounts to supply $50 to 20(
pounds of actual potash per acre
In addition to being used fol
sweet potatoes, the 2-8-1O is of
ficially recommended and used OF
numerous other crops. The Mary
land and Delaware Experiment
Stations in their 1889 list of ap
proved analyses mentioned thi:
mixture for such crops as carrots
parsnips, alfalfa, corn, cowpeas
soybeans, grapes. lawns, and pas.
lures, and late potatoes. 1t is es-
pecially adapted for use under con
ditions where manure applications
or legume sods supply considerable
of the nitrogen requirement of the
crops planted.
Analyses carrying from to {
per cent more nitrogen, as a 3-8-1C
or 4-8-1O, may sometimse be more
satisfactory, especially on soils
that are not well supplied with or
ganic matter. Norman Pusey OF
! Princess Anne, Maryland, for ex-
ample, grew 101.25 bushels of
shelled corn per acre with a 4-8-1O
thus indicating that higher nitro
gen than contained in 2-8-1O was
more profitable under his condi-
tions.
Raymond Lank, Milford, Della
ware, compared manure alone with
manure plus a 2-8-1O fertilizer and
found that the manure plus fer
tilizer produced over 13 bushels of
shelled corn per acre more than

authorities have made hose at
tachments to the tank house SO as
to convey water to the Superin-

belonging to the road, in time of
danger. The town commissioners
have decided to purchase ladders,
buckets, &c, and organize a hook
and ladder company for the pro-
lection of property against fire.
A movement has been started to
have the Legislature divide Ken

tricts, having one polling place at
Clayton, on west side of railroad
and the other at Kenton. A re-

Return Of 0umansky
To Soviet Embassy
SPIKES Rumors
Envoy to Sail From
ItoIy for New York
On Rex November ]

The announced early return Of
Soviet Ambassador Constantine Ou-
mansky to Washington has spiked
reports current here recently that
the young envoy had been recalled
in much the same manner as his
predecessor, Alexander T. Troyan-
ovsky.
Mr.. Oumansky, the Associated
Press reported late yesterday, is to
leave Moscow Tuesday, sailing from
Italy for New York on the Rex No.
vember /. The Ambassador left his
new post in Washington last July
for what was described as q "vaca-
ton" trip home.
Some six weeks later there were
persistent rumors that Mr.. Ouman-
sky had incurred the displeasure of
the Moscow government for having
failed to stop publication in the
Saturday Evening Post of articles
by Gen. w. G. Krivitsky discussing
the foreign policy of Joseph Stain.
Gen. Krivitsky, who claimed he
formerly was chief Of Soviet mill
tary intelligence in Europe, FORE
cast, among other things, a Nazi-
Soviet alliance.
Mr.. Oumansky was appointed
Ambassador here last May after
serving as counselor and Charge
dAffaires. For several years before
joining the Embassy staff, he was
chief of the Russian Press Bureau.
He is the youngest Ambassador from
a major power, being 81 years old
Mr.. Oumansky first came to the
United States in November, 1888
participating in 10 days of negotia-
tions, which resulted in resumption
of normal diplomatic relations be-
tween this country and the Soviet
Union. He was appointed coun-
selor of the Embassy here in 1896.
The Ambassador travelled extern
sively throughout Europe as a news
paper correspondent and from 1890
to 1886 was chief of the press divi-
sion of the commissariat of foreign
affairs in Moscow. He has fluent
command of English and American
idiom as well, and in addition to his
native Russian speaks French, Ger
man and Italian.
Mr.. Oumansky's knowledge of the
United States is not confined to dip
lomatic affairs. He has travelled ex-
tensively and has lectured at many
universities and public forums in
this country.
Mr.. Oumansky was married in
1922. The couples only child, Nina,
10, has attended school here.

Defenses grow stronger, and every

The opinion is that only the Sc
verest pressure from Adolf Hitler
will start a German attack rolling
this way although staff officers point
out, as have newspapers, that three
large German concentrations are
formed and apparently ready to
move.
These concentrations are said to
be on the Belgian frontier, south

French front apparently has taken,
for the moment, most German mil
itarv resources and chviated the
chance of attacks elsewhere.

Meanwhile, in Wales David Lloyd

consider the possibility of an inter-
national conference to settle the
conflict and said such a policy was
entirely consistent with no sur

Hore-Belisha said German dreams
of free hand in the east had been
