Beat Low Crop

High Grade Fertilizers
at-
Low Range Prices
There is just one way to beat low crop prices. Produce
crops for LESS than you sell them.
That means making each acre produce every pound it is
capable of producing. Y ou can do this without paying a cent
more for labor or equipment. By putting PLENTY of the
right kind of plant food into your land, you can make it work
harder for you than it ever has before.
This is no time for skimping. Fertilize your land. Fertilize
it well. Put new life into it. It will give you cotton, at less
cost per pound; corn, potatoes and grain at less cost per
bushel.
Don’t gamble on guano. Use the best. Royster’s guano
is made right and is backed by 47 years experience.
Will appreciate your business.
I keep it in stock at all times.

POSTAL ECONOMY LEGISLATION
In our news columns of last weex,
we uUd an aiiioe m leietei.ee 10 un,
penuii.g economy legislation tiiat na„
piuput.ua oeiure coi.g.eas in po
unce wiun tne economy program urge-
upon congress Dy r-resident ivooae-
velt.
as stated in the article, the secre
tary of your association communi
cated witn several congressmen ana
senators setting iortn tne attitude ux
tne carriers and assuring tnean tna,
the postal service could oe reneu upo.
to co-operate it it was necessary u
curtail salaries to lower government
cost.
Uenerally speaking, rural letter
earners aie real genuine citizens t..a
want to sinare tneir part of the Dur
den of government cost, and are wm-
uig to taice tneir part of any neces
sary cuts m salaries m Helping
uaiance tne national budget, urn no
one will bear them complaining
long as all adjustments are put on an
eijuitaule basis.
in our article last week we pub
lished a copy of the letter addressed
to Senator itknurd B. Kus-.eil, Jr,
and we feel in all fairness to him, we
should publish herewith his reply and
acknowledgement to same, which is as
rollows: >
Washington, D. C., 3-18-1938.
Hon. Chas. U. Wall,
Ellaville, Ga
mear ivrr. wall:
‘inis will tnank you for your letter
regarding the President's e-onomy
uui recently before tne Congiess.
Your letter is a clear outline of the
position oi tne letter .earners, suiu-
ciently stated, and 1 think tnat tney
are manifesting a penectiy spiendip
spirit.
1 shall investigate the possibility of
restoring the 4-cent per mile etjuip-
nent allowance. •
I hope that we will soon have con
ditions restored to something ap
proaching normalcy, when reduced
alarms can be restored.
With best wishes, 1 am,
Sincerely yours,
Richard B. Russell, Jr.
We are quite sure that all rural
letter carriers will appreicate very
much tne attitude ol senator Russeil
and we all realize that, under such
conditions as now are facing the wel
fare of our great nation all hands
must join wholeheartedly in the pro
gram looking toward bigger and hot
ter things for all the people. Of course
this economy legislation is only tem
porary legislation, and as Senator
Russell states, if all join in we hope
to get quickly back on the road to
better times, for us all.

Injured Carrier Recovers
We are in receipt of a letter from
Brother .Robert W. Beard, Bluffton,
Ga., in which he states that be has
resumed his duties as carrier from
tne Bluffton post oftice, alter having
been injured on February 21 while
out sewing his route.
Brother Beard was struck by a
bakery truck and was painfully in
jured to such an extent that he was
taken to the hospital at Cuthbert-
He states that he is still in a very
weakened and nervous condition,
which is very evident from the stroke
of his pen in writing the letter, and
that the postmaster is at present ac
companying him on the route to drive.
I hink that is a fine spirit that his
postmaster is showing in being of this
assistance to Brother Beard.
Brother Beard had his son as his
substitute and through recent ruling
of the department he was. not permit-
ed to be designated as the temporary
carrier, as the department hopes in
some way to help relieve the great
unemployment situation as at present
existing, ruled that no temporary em
ploye put on in the classified service
could be a kinsman of the employe or
postmaster, and that it must be some
one who had. dependents and was in
need of employment.
We think the ruling of the depart
ment is a good one, but of course'* can
have exceptions, and in . Brother
Beard’s case we feel there is an ex
ception. His son had dependents, a
wife and children, and we fear that
the reason why Brother Beard is so
hasty in resuming his duties is the
fact that not only his family needs
the money he receives from carrying
the mail on the rural route, but it is
moBt likely that the son and family is
also somewhat dependent upon this
income for sustenance during these
critical times.
We hope that Brother Beard will
suffer no setback in his early resump
tion of his duties, and that times will
soon be back to normalcy, in that we
all. may have our wishes gratified for
the many comforts we desire for our
selves and loved ones.
E. W. SmLier Killed
The National Rural Letter Carrier
>n last week carried an account of
the horrible death of Brother E. W.
Smiser, Butler, Mo., a rural letter
carrier who had been to Washington
attending the inaugural ceremonies
and was returning home on March 9
when the collision of the automobile
in which he was riding with an inter-
urban car from Plainsfield, Ind.,
caused not only his death, but that of
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. M. Dale', of El Do
rado Springs, Mo.
The death of Brother Smiser has
ended the career of one of’our mem
bers who had been a loyal and faith
ful association worker for many
years He served six years as a mem
ber of the executive committee of the
National Association,, during which
time he was editor of the National
Rural Letter Carrier.
MISS DELL TO BE GIVEN
NEW TERM, CAPITAL HEARS
Washington, March 26.—Miss Jes
sie Dell, of Sylvania, will ibe retained
as a member of the Civil Service
Commission for the -present, at leasts
and probably will be reappointed for
another full term, it. became known
Saturday!
It has been decided to retain Miss
Dell for the present, it is said, and in
dications are she will be reappointed
for a full term, although nothing of
ficial to this effect has been announc
ed.
Many appointments are expected t»
flow from the White House within the
next few weeks.
President Roosevelt has been so oc
cupied with the emergency brought
about by the .banking situation that
he has had little time during the
three weeks he has occupied the pres
idency to give thought to changes in
personnel, but the pressure of emer
gency matters is being relieved.
