much is really needed-no guessing
here.
Therefore, why not get several
soil tests now in both problem
fields and those that have nice
growth? Between corn and bean
cultivation and harvest time is an
excellent time to get these samples.
This will also enable you to apply
ground limestone this fall if you
need it. Also, you can take advan-
tage of the discount prices usually
offered at this time.
Corn and sOybeans are like milk
COWS in one respect. | t you do
not feed them, they just will not
produce. In spite of what several
people maintain, soybeans cannot
be grown year after year without
adding some potash and maybe
some other elements to the soil.
Soybeans grown in rotation with
corn or other crops may produce
well enough without fertilizer add
ed directly to the beans, but why
guess-soil test and do it now, Ralph
concluded.

Are Your soybeons
And Corn Underfed?

Several growers are troubled
with nutrient deficiencies in corn
and soybeans this year, says Ed.
Ralph, Associate County Agent. 1t
looks as though the weather may
have played a certain role, but
the fact remains that we have de-
.ficiencies present.
This is good time Of the year
to spot the general signs Of Po-
tassium shortages since the soy
bean plant are removing high lev
els of available potash from the
soil Early signs of potash defic-
iency would be yellow spots on
merge into a uniform yellow color
over most of the leaf.
Soil tests from problem fields
have shown the available potash
to be low in each case and mag
nesium was also limiting in sew
eral cases in Sussex County, Ralph
added.
Guessing at your fertilizer needs
can be an expensive operation the
agent said. First, too heavy an ap-
plication doesn't add as much as
it drains your pocketbook, if high
levels are not needed. Secondly,
you may fail to put down enough
of the elements for which the
plants are hungering.
A soil test properly interpreted
by the University of Delaware
specialists tells you what and how

1924 per cent of it's quota as
the drive continued ahead of
last years returns.
The total drive now has
reached 1898 per cent of the
$7.8 million goal.
The Government Unit today
reported $438,309 in new money
for a total of $2,799,719. It's

the Government Unit actually
raised $3,650,000 last year, and

Mrs. Schweinhaut will re-
place former State Senator

Two central committee mem

THERE 1T RESTED for
years. In 1854, while running
for reelection, Gov. Nickel
din started it again with a
little ceremony. Nothing
would delay it now, he said.
The distance to the Kenil'
worth interchange on the
Baltimore Washington park
way was only IA miles.
1t reached the Palmer
highway, a little more than
9 miles, in 1857. The last four
years have been spent on a
4.4-mile stretch that will
complete it.
Indulging in his exploring
spirit again, the Rambler
went up on the new section
yesterday. He drove out the
Palmer highway, which is
the road bed of the old
Washington, Baltimore 81
Annapolis Railroad. 1t runs
from the eastern corner OF
the District near the end OF
East Capitol street in a
northeast direction.
1t is in rather bad condi-
ton. For the last four years
it has carried the bulk. Of
Route so traffic.
The new highway crosses
over it about six miles from
the District line. There is a
full cloverleaf pattern OF
exits and entrances.
The Rambler drove around
a barricade and up on the
westbound entrance.
It's a fine highway, a con-
tinuation of the two broad
ribbons of concrete that have
been slowly unrolling toward
Washington from the Bay
Bridge for the last IL years.
First we passed through a
scrub pine woods as the high
way rose almost to the tops
of the trees.
