THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
February 8, 
PUBLISHER’S DESK 
The orders for fertilizers were the light¬ 
est since the Association commenced co¬ 
operative buying. Several factors probably 
contributed to cause this. It was doubt¬ 
less due partly to our late start In the 
matter and partly to the fact that the 
Hoods which we put out last season, under 
our own brand, that were put up for us 
by the Buffalo Fertilizer Company, in sev¬ 
eral instances were below guaranty, and 
the influence of that showed in diminished 
orders this year. 
The above is from Secretary Gillett’s 
report at the N. Y. State Fruit Grow¬ 
ers’ meeting, January 8, as published in 
The R. N.-Y. Now read the garbled 
report from the same copy in The 
Country Gentleman. Here it is: 
The executive committee had placed the 
sale of fertilizers and chemicals in the sec¬ 
retary’s hands; chemicals sold well, but 
fertilizers badly; there is a little advance 
in the price of fertilizers for the coming 
season on all brands except bone meal and 
nitrate of soda. 
Mr. Tucker would call our report yel¬ 
low journalism. He is himself too con¬ 
servative and too respectable to tell his 
readers that a concern which is adver¬ 
tising in The Country Gentleman has 
been selling low-grade fertilizer under 
a high-grade guarantee to farmers. 
This was another case where the papers 
did not fit the goods. Mr. Tucker knew 
that the contract with the Buffalo Fer¬ 
tilizer Company had been made by Frank 
E. Dawlcy. Fie knew that the State Ex¬ 
periment Station at Geneva had picked 
up several samples of the fertilizer, 
analyzed them, and found them below 
the guaranteed analysis. He knew that 
the facts were reported to the Attor¬ 
ney General, and that the Buffalo Fer¬ 
tilizer Company ultimately paid the $100 
fine for violation of the fertilizer law. 
Mr. Tucker cut the reference to this 
out of the secretary’s report, and con¬ 
tinued the advertising of the company. 
The Association had a similar experi¬ 
ence some years ago when Mr. Dawley 
contracted with a Syracuse concern for 
the fertilizer to be used by the mem¬ 
bers. It was the fearless discharge of 
his duty at that time in reporting the 
low grade of fertilizer shipped on that 
contract that came near costing Dr. Jor¬ 
dan his position. Some of the Syracuse 
politicians, who were behind Dawley 
then as they are now, were interested in 
the fertilizer company, because their 
banks were carrying its paper. With 
Jordan at the Station they could not 
continue to put out low-grade fertilizers 
at high-grade prices, so the word went 
out that Jordan must go, and Frank E. 
Dawley was the man who pronounced 
that dictum to us. Then, as now, Mr. 
Tucker took the part of the fertilizer 
frauds. He gave support to the rogues 
then just as he is giving comfort and 
support to Dawley now. Dr. Jordan, 
however, put up a vigorous fight. The 
R. N.-Y. began to tell some plain truths 
about the whole affair. Crooked 
schemes will not stand the light of 
publicity. Dawley was appointed re¬ 
ceiver of the fertilizer company, and the 
fight on Dr. Jordan was dropped. He 
again demonstrated his service to the 
fruit growers in 1906 by showing by 
his analysis that the goods bought for 
them by Mr. Dawley were for the sec¬ 
ond time below the guaranteed analysis. 
This kind of information is never found 
in Mr. Tucker’s reports. 
During the past 18 months we have 
received just 148 letters containing 
money without the proper name or 
address and which we have no means 
of locating. Some of these letters have 
no name signed to them; others have 
name but. no post office, and the post 
mark is not legible, or the letter con¬ 
tains only a railroad mark. Wherever 
there is any clue, we are able to trace’ 
it up and usually find the remitter; but 
here are 148 cases which we hold await¬ 
ing complaint; we have absolutely no 
clue to the owners. They are largely 
new subscribers. We mention it to sug¬ 
gest care in writing letters with remit¬ 
tance ; and also in the hope that it 
may lead to the identification of some 
of the remitters. 
After eating a delicious pudding at din¬ 
ner made by the young lady of the house¬ 
hold from The Rural Cook Book, we feel 
that we must write to express our sincere 
thanks for your truly practical and com¬ 
mon-sense cook book. Long live The R. N.-Y. 
Michigan. mbs. w. f. 
That Cook Book is going out in hun¬ 
dred lots every day to those whose re¬ 
newals or new subscriptions are re¬ 
ceived for the day, and thousands of 
letters come back praising it. Having 
been especially prepared for farm 
homes, it fills the requirements of the 
farm kitchen as none of the other cook 
books can, as they cater particularly to 
city conditions. We hope our good 
friends will mention this little book and 
the paper to their friends. We are al¬ 
ready getting many new friends in this 
way. You can assure them that the 
book will go back by return mail. j. j. d.

The Louse 
Question 
When your animals rub incessantly 
at this season of the year, look out

mulated the famous Instant Louse 
Killer, which kills lice on stock and 
poultry. 
INSTANT 
LOUSE KILLER 
kills ticks on sheep. It, being a powder, 
can be applied in zero weather. Do not 
wait for warm weather: do not let the tick 
eat up your profits; kill him on the spot 
with InstantLouse Killer. Put up in round 
cans with perforated top, full pound 25 cts. 
Sold on a positive written guarantee. 
Be sure of the word "Instant” on the 
can; there are 25 imitators.
