You might call it the Seventeen Day Advantage because a farm operator can efficiently apply P & K fertilizer to his acreage during that Fall period, rather than trying to work it into the already-tbo-short Six or Seven Days of Spring that are available for seedbed preparation prior to your optimum planting date. And effidient time management is only one of the numerous and profitable benefits. Interested? Stop in and see us today, Agromarl Helping things grow Brussels 887-6016 OW by.

There are directions on setting the table to 'make it look nice and proper table etiquette. This is followed' by a. short item on wages in. ,1800. To quote from the first paragraph;, "In 1800 'on - the Pennsylvania canals, the'dig; gers at the coarsest diet, were housed in the rudest sheds and .paid fs6, a month from M ay 'to November and 15 a month from November to May. Hod-carriers and mor- tar mixers, diggers and chop- pers, who from 1793 to 1800 labored on the public build- ings and cut three streets and avenues of Washington City, received $70 a year, or if they wished, $60 for all the work they could perform from March 1 to Dectinbtr 20.

This was to be done as soon as possible with the expecta- tion that the parts touched with the caustic oil would turn black.
