~ Fertilizer Grades
Could Do Job OF 40,
Says AgrOnOmist

A way Of reducing the farmers
cost Of fertilizer was proposed at
the recent Fertilizer Dealers Short
Course, at the University of Della
ware, Newark, Claude Phillips, ex-
tension agronomist, told the group
that seventeen out of the 40 grades
of fertilizer sold in Delaware last
year could do the fertilizing job
needed in Delaware.
These seventeen grades could
supply plant food for the growing
Of every crop produced on all Del
aware farms" says Phillips, "The
extra grades only increase the cost
Of manufacturing and distribution
and most are low in plant food
content"
Phillips pointed out that costs of
mixing, hauling, and spreading a
fertilizer are just as high for a bag
Of 0-10-10 containing only 20 lbs.
Of plant food, as it is for a bag Of
O-14-14 WITH % lbs, or O-20~2O with
40 lbs.
"And it's the plant food" he said,
"that the farmer is interested in.
Some farmers, however, still buy
their fertilizer on cost per ton
rather than cost per pound Of ac-
tual plant food"
The fertilizer manufacturers and
dealers generally agreed with the
proposal. Stocking many different
grades reduces their capacity and
increases their handling costs.
Phillips adds that the Agricul-
tnral Extension Service is now re-
vising its fertilizer recommends
tions on the new basis, and these
recommendations will be available
in January.

More About PIurals,


A few weeks ago this modest wore
column observed that such Latir
plurals as cacti. radii, genii, hip
popotami, nuclei, octopi, syllabi
sarcophagi were passing out o1
good usage, that American Eng
lish prefers to form the plurals ac-
cording to English rules, thus:
Cactuses, geniuses, hippopotamuses
nucleuSes, octopuses, radiuses, syl-
labuses, sarcophaguses, etc.
One Herbert Sanborn, a very
indignant character, became so en-
ragged at my article that he sent
series of hySterical letters to an
editor accusing me Of being a
"protaganist of the illiterate," a
member of the demimonde (wowD
bent on corrupting and debasing
the language" ETC., setc. He shud-
dered with genuine horror at such
unheard-of plurals as cactuses,
radiuses, funguses, ETC., and sug-
gested that I ought to be restrained
from publishing such damaging
nonsense Che would therefore deny
me both the freedom of speech and
the freedom of the press.
Also, he disagreed violently with
my statement that the word "the''
before words beginning with a con-
sonant is pronounced thuh-that
is, "th" followed by the neutral or
obscured vowel sound expressed by
"uh" in Colby phonetic spelling.
Well, let's look at some of the
accepted American dictionaries

| We find that such English-formec
pluralS as cactuseS, stadiums, GYM
nasiums, mediums, appropriateness
octopuSes, syllabusss, etc., are the
first choice of every one!
Therefore. the statement in my
recent article that such words
have been part of the English
language for centuries, and it is
quite proper, indeed it Is best usage,
to form their plurals according to
English rules, and the newer die
tionaries show the English plurals
as first choice" is true and accurate
reporting.
Now regarding the obscured
vowel in the word "the" before
words beginning with consonant:
If Mr.. Sanborn can show me a
single accredited American die
tionary that does not obscure the
vowel, I'll eat it with sugar and
cream on the courthouse square
with the newsreels and television
cameras invited to witness the
event.
If he does not find such die
tionary, think in all fairness that
he ought to do the eating, don't
you? I'll be glad to furnish the
dictionaries, as we'll as the sugar
and cream.

Opening lead, Jack of diamonds
When a successful tournament
player is keyed up to the fine edge
OF competition, it is as fatal to
give him an opening as it is in the
{ case of the boxer or the fencer
! The champ is quick to step in and
take advantage of a false move
In the open pair event at the re-
cent national championships, my
partner, Mrs. Helen Sobel, holding
the West hand, found a way to de-
feat a contract of three hearts on
a hand in which a number of the
contestants succeeded i. in making
four.
The bidding sequence does not
fall within any particular mold
South's double of the opening club
bid was routine and Mrs Sobel's
bid of one no-trump was an effort
to indicate some slight values be-
fore the bidding got too involved
1t also tended to serve as slight
obstructive measure, making ii
somewhat more difficult for North
to respond, a duty of which North
was happy to be relieved. South
doubled again and North, feeling
that he had not sufficient defen-
sive values to leave the double in,
elected to make the cheapest pos
sible bid, in the hope that partner
would eXtricate him in either
hearts or diamonds. East's double
Of two clubs was intended not as
vocal exercise, but as means of
communication to partner that the
club suit was robust, should it be-
come necessary for her to have this
information in the defense of the
future contract. South's jump to
three hearts was ill-advised. Hav-
ing doubled twice, he has already
portrayed powerful holding and
partner should now take action
with anything in the nature of a
prayer, so that the jump is not nee
essary and jeopardizes the part
score if partner happens to have no
, value at all.

the seven. West realized the one
remaining hope for a trick was in
trumps and if declarer lacked the
ten of hearts, the setting trick
could be developed by the upper
cut" The 18th diamond was there

out of dummy but East ruffed with
the ten of trumps, forcing the

hearts to winning rank.

Only a relatively few hunters
have been able to bag the limit
in the Lake Erie marshes and the
inland waterfowl season, except
for few choice spots, has been
very light thus far.
Wildlife officials and duck ex-
perts alike, blame the unseason-
ably warm weather which has
blanketed Ohio the past two weeks
for the poor shooting. However.
both are of the opinion that 2
change to colder weather will
alter the situation.
The migration of geese his been
unusually slow this year, accord
ing to waterfowl experts, how
ever they report thousands of
ducks on Lake Erie. The ducks
it seems prefer to stay out on the
lake in good weather and do not
come into the marshes until forced
by cold or rough weather. Accord
ing to the weatherman some of
that weather is on the way.
