North American Deliveries
of American Potash for Agriculture
The American Potash Industry, to keep American farms
operating in high gear, is now producing and delivering for
agriculture more than three times as much potash as it did
in 1939. (See chart.) This record has been made in the face
of great man-power, equipment, and shipping difficulties.
While you still may not be able to get all of the potash you
want to use, every effort is being made to meet the greatly
increased demand for this essential plant food.
Write us for free information and literature
on the profitable fertilization tof your crops.

There was no race discrimination
evident in Bluffton last Wednesday
night when it came to providing
overnight lodging accommodation for
the 35 negroes who appeared in a
concert program at the high school
gymnasium. The group, billed as
one of the top flight musical organi
zations to come out of World War
II, came here sponsored by Bluffton
college. Some of them were housed
for the night in the college men’s
dormitory, Ropp hall, while others
were placed in homes of faculty
members.
The story of an Idaho saloonkeep
er back in the Gay Nineties, who
became somewhat of a hero to the
W. C. T. U., is contained in The
Idaho Pioneer, illustrated news
weekly publication published at
Boise and sent to C. N. Long of Ada
by his son Glen, living in Granger
ville, Idaho.
The saloonist, J. NJ. Lawrence,
proprietor of the “Naked Truth Sa
loon” became notorious because of
his unabashed adherence to telling
his customers the whole truth about
what his wares would do to them.
In an advertisement which orig
inally appeared in the Boise Demo
crat, February 24, 1886, he says in
part:
“Having just opened a commodious
shop for the sale of liquid fire, I
have commenced the business of
making drunkards, paupers and beg
gars for the sobe respectable por
tion of the community to support
I will on short notice undertake
to prepare victims for asylums, poor
farms, prisons and gallows .”

All your knowledge about farming won’t be of
much use if your farm equipment isn’t ready when
you need it.
Remember, every machine must be working just
right to get a good job done in each crop. And to
make sure theyTl be 100%, it’s best to have them
checked over and repaired plenty of time ahead of
work seasons.
To get all equipment in first class shape, do this
first: put your tractor and implements on our Early
Bird Service Schedule. Then, during their idle time,
we’ll do a top-notch IH Blue Ribbon Service job on
each one.
That combination of Early Bird scheduling and
Blue Ribbon Service can prevent any time lost in
the fields from breakdowns! 1
