Stock Market Is On An Upward Course Maybe it s a case of "wishful buy ing," but the stock market, which '.ias been pursuing a gradual up ward course, bounced up handsome ly last week. This can mean only that the folks who keep their fin gers right on the pulse of business? and risk their dollars on their judg ment of whether things are getting better, getting worse, or standing still?have discovered reasons for feeling bolder. And they don't do their buying on a "wishful" basis Ceneral business activity continued to decline in March, though not so rapidly as in January and February.

Robertson of Westinghouse Electric that book ings have run 37 per cent ahead of 1939, with refrigerator sales for the first quarter the best in the com pany's history.

DIFFERENCE FOR high yields of chunks, which bring better prices, us* fertilizers high in potash. Potash is the plant food that increases the set of sweet potatoes and starts the crop off to greater yield per acre. It fills out the roots and produces the quality buyers want. Successful growers have found that a 3-8-8 fertiliser can be depended upon to give good quality and high yield when applied at the rate of 800-1,000 lbs. per acre. Ask your county agent or experiment station how much potash your soil will supply and how much to add to carry your crop through to profit. Then make sure that your dealer sells you a fertiliser containing enough potash to supply what you need. You will be surprised how little extra it costs.
