TOMATO PROGRAM
MADE FOR KENT co.
Continued from First Page,

Ralph l.. Jump. lieldman, for Libby,
McNeill and Libby's plant at Hous-
ton.
According TO these plans several
tomato growers will be selected as
cOOperatOrs in this project to keep
accurate records in regard TO cost
of production. and one acre on each
farm will be fortified with an addi-
lional amount OF potash along with
the fertilization practice generally
followed by the grower. When the
crop Is harvested yield records will
be obtained from these two plots on
each farm TO determine the effect OF
additional applications OF potash OH
the yield and quality of the tomatoes.
In starting this tomato improve
ment work in the central part of
Kent county these cooperating far
mers will be invited 10 attend a sup
pcr-meeting to be held in the near
future for the purpose OF explaining
the procedure that will be followed
I'm conducting this project during the
coming year. At this meeting record
books also will be distributed. and
each grower will receive instruc-
lions concerning their use along
with the records relative TO the po-
tash fertilization demonstrations.
In the meantime soil samples will
be obtained from the field on each
farm in which tomatoes are TO be
grown this year, and these samples
will be tested for lime requirement
and fertilizer recommendation
which will serve as guides in plan
ming cultural practices in connection
with these demonstrations

MORE COMPETITION.
LESS REGULATION

Calling highways, railways, water
ways. airways and pipelines The
'qnintuplcts OF transportation In the
United States" recent paper on
Problems Of the Highway User in
the United States emphasized that
the economic welfare OF the nation
does not FevOlve around one trans
port facility. highways or otherwise.
The author, Frederick c. HOrner,
Assistant TO the Chairman of Gener-
al Motors, points out that the people
will DC served i'm such matters. "They
demand transportation at the lowest
possible cost They also demand high
qualities Of service, which cannot be
given them by any one method OF
transportation. Any plan. therefore.
that would peg or freeze rates or
carrying charges. thus killing COM
which in the case of trans
portation means efforts to render
better service at a lower cOst--is not
in the public interest and should be
fought TO the last ditch"
Mr. Horner, representing the au-
tomOtive industry, declared that all
five methods of transportation
should be relieved from much OF
their regulation so that the people
may be served more adequately by
the very initiative of free self-cOn-
trolIed management. IF competition
in transportation" he said. through
regulation and legislation. is made
possible. then. inevitably, the citizen
will pay more for transportation In
the future than he should pay, or
Than he is able to pay"
II was very correctly stated that
highway use requires only two gen.
nral categories of regulation: To pro-
vide for highway safety and to pro-
ect the highways themselves by es-
uniform standards in
,izes and weights of motor vehicles.
