Changing? New York
Among the sights, sounds and
smells that made New York what
it was, t-he old Fulton Fish Mar
ket was a lusty landmark. It was
a miniature Gloucester in Gotham
where the life of the men who go
down to the sea and fish lost none
of its salty flavor despite the steel
and brick that towered a block or
so away on Wall Street.
Fulton Market, by city edict, is
now to be modernized and de
odorized. Thus goes another of
the spots that old-timers think of
when they talk about "my New
York."
Huge modern warehouses will
replace the brawling sidewalk
markets, overhead conTeyors will
supplant the racket-ridden hand
truck way of handling the yearly
millions of pounds of fish; and
scrape, instead of making that'
section of the East Side a haven
for rats and cats, will more prom
ptly be made into fertilizer.
Chief mourner of the Market's,
passing is A1 Smith. A1 used to
say he earned his "first degree ?
F.F.M. ? there," because it gave
him his first job as a delivery boy.
Alumnus A1 was an exception, for
political ambition was not one of
the old marketmen's character
istic*.
Old New York recalls the great
fights at Fulton, the hi-jacsiogs
cf fish loads, the racketeering of
the gangs of hoodlums who forced
single fisher-captains to band to
gether for protection leading to
the rise of Urge companies which
now handle the scaly commodity.
Fulton, ia the true New York
tradition, was a night-time wond
er. inactive bv day when the fish
ermen, were out in the Sound drag
ging for flounder, or up in the
Hudson netting the great run of
winter shad.
But after midnight, as the boats
(lipped in laden to the gun'ales
with fish, it woke up. Wintertime
saw tie small boats slide to the
docks completely sheathed in ice.
and many a Manhattan photogra
pher found picturesque camera
fodder there.
Toward dawn, the hurly-burly
was at its height, as dock hanger
son swung into action unloading
the hauls, marking them for ship
ment, wheeling boxes to waiting
trucks. Pushcart vendors and com
missary men from swank hotels
alike came to haggle at the docks.
Fulton supplied East and West
?with tons of fish, fresh or salted
down. But the days when the
Health Department dared not in
vade the Market are gone. New
York's waterfront is changing un
der an ambitious civic program.
Old New York's loss is new Man
hattan's gain.

cM f you don't fertilize crops lor the crops'
sake. You^fc&fee them for INCREASED RETURN
TO YOU. Check your harvest and see if potash had
a chance to increase your 1938 income. Rusted cotton,
low yields and poor quality of tobacco, com, vegetable,
fruit, and legume crops result if the soil and fertilizer
do not supply enough potash.
H Li not tew- easily, to be laying your plans for
more income from potash next year. Talk over with your
county agent or experiment station your yields this year
as compared with what you can expect from your soil if
given the right amount of the right fertilizer for the crops
whichyou will plant next spring. Ask your dealer or man
ufacturer about fertilizers high in potash. Y ou will be sur
prised how little extra it costs to apply enough potash.
