| BeMepialn Association Successful With Home Mixed Fertilizer T. J. Duiell. Secretary of the Belleplnin Fanners’ Association, states that the Association's fertilizer Is now mixed •md ready for delivery. A limited amount can be pu hased by outsiders. For three years tills Association has successfully cared for the fertilizer needs e northern part of the county and good reports on home mixed fer- ■ come from the farmers in that • Association uses to n large oxking crab for the base, furnishing the ammonia, and supplements this with nltmtc of soda, add phosphate and pot-

Th-- grade that promises to be especially adaptable to the growth of sweet potatoes and orchards Is that which has crab cracked rather than coarse.

ANOTHER FFEEHOLDER INVESTIGATION Justice Black has ordered another Freeho’der Investlg- tion, this time In Atlantic County, when he dii cted the Grand Jury t«J examine the working!, of the Hoard last week. Whether or not this investigation - Warranted is none ol the affair of !h. people of Cape May County, but li Is Interesting to note that th*- Atlantic City Press, which wu* so free with n.-. comment on the Cape May County situation. has not » word to .-u.y editorially. ‘ now that It Is intimated that the same - condition might exist nt her own door-
