TRENTON, April 16, 1890.--The bill pro-
viding for the sale Of the lands under
water in front of the present riparian
owners on the New York Bay shore, was
voluminously amended in the House yes
terday afternoon and ordered to be re-
printed. The amendments, in substance,
provide that any lessee of the State of
lands under water being in default to the
State for rental due, the Attorney GEN
eral, on information to the Circuit Judge
stating that there is such default
and what the default is, may
obtain an order requiring the lessee to
show cause why the State should not
take possession of the lands. On the re-
turn Of the order the lessee may appear
and it may be ascertained what is due
and on the neglect of the lessee to pay
such ascertaineed rental the State may
take possession.
The bill also provides now that any
lessee or grantee of the State shall have
the right to make the first application to
the State for the lease of lands under
water outside the present pier line in
front OF the lands now owned by him
upon thirty days notice, and X he shall
not then take up the grant or lease the
State shall have the absolute right to
make such grant or lease to whomsoever
it pleases.
Mr.. Mungo J. Currie has an amend
ment similar to the last, in which the
time of the notice is limited to six
months. 1t is probable that the bill as
amended will pass the House The
clause which gives the present owner the
option of first purchase, has removed
much of the opposition which was raised
against the bill. Still. the owners claim
that under the present grants the State
has decided them the land to high water,
which means the Kill Won KulI channel

H0BOKEN GREEN GOODS.
Mayor Grassman Institutes
Search for the Guilty Ones.

For several months, as has already
been told In The JERSEY CITY NEWS. Che
green goods swindlers had almost COM
plete sway in Hoboken. They had box
at the Postoffice. and every day large
quantity of mail was received.
About a month ago Mayor Grassman
received a large number of circulars
from Western people who informed him
of the swindle. He at once started a
rigid investigation and found that the
box at the postoffice had been hired by a
prominent citizen" This left no doubt
in The mind of the Mayor but that the
prominent citizen was in colEusion
with the swindlers. Although strenuous
efforts were made to ascertain who the
prominent citizen" might be, the post
office authorities manifested alarming
ignorance.
Mayor Grassman was not to be balked,
however. and yesterday sent letter to
Judge Knapp enclosing the swindling
circulars and the evidence which had
been collected If the thing is probed to
the bottom some people may be placed in
very peculiar light.

has greatly increased the number of
chattel mortgages on growing crops,
implements and stock. The farmer
being unable to borrow money on
his homestead, gives a lien on the
growing crops for his stock in trade.
But bad as this principle is. it does
not rob him of his homestead. 1t
gives the thrifty farmer better
chance to get ahead than is the
case in Kansas, where loans are
made almost entirely on real estate.

fully equal in fertilizing value, as
far as these tests go, to 1860 lbs. OF
cotton seed, a proportion of to
2.79. In the oil mills ton, or
1900 lbs. seed gives about 700 lbs.
of meal, besides oil and some waste
products. Now, 700 lbs. is in pro-
portion to 1000 lbs. as l is to 2.S5.
This close correspondence of fertil-
izing value to output is certainly re-
markable.'

CRIMSON CLOVER.

ONE of our breeders of blooded

crimson clover, now SO largely
used here, can be grazed hard all
winter without detriment. rven by
the close, biting horse, ard fulla
crop of haymown IN April AS /
now write {April 2lsD the crop of
this clover is, being cut. A field of
this clover, with its deep, blood-red
bloom, is a handsome sight, and is
cut so early that the stubble can at
once be plowed in time for corn or
cotton either. Sown between the
cotton rows in August and Septem-
ber, winter pasture is secured and a

sandy land our old friend, the cow
pea, is still unsurpassed. If you
want to "rest" your land between
crops of cotton, rest it in pease.
Don't plow the pease under in the
fall, but let them lie and protect the
land from blowing in winter.
Furrow out through the dead
pease, fertilize and break the mid
dies, and bury the rest. Better re-
suits we feel sure can be had in this
way than by burying the pease
green. In fact, long experience has
taught me that plowing in a green
crop on sandy soil in a hot eli
mate, is often productive of perma-
nent injury to the land. Grow
pease and other recuperative crops,
but don't plow them under green in
hot weather. Don't rest your land
simply with the natural growth of
weeds and crab grass, but put some
leguminous crop on it that has the
power of accumulating nitrogen, and
thereby save the purchase of the
costly ammonia and use cheaper
phosphate fertilizer. 1t has been
abundantly proved that leguminous
crops, such as pease and clover do
get hold of and supply nitrogen to
the soil, and it is much cheaper TO
get it in this way than to pay fifteen
cents pound for it in fertilizer

FARM MORTGAGES IN TEXAS.

Il WELCOME fact comes from
IA Texas. The State agricultural
bureau estimates that only 5
per cent of the farms of the state
are mortgaged. This is the lowest
percentage shown by any State in
the union. Kentucky comes next,
where IL 1-2 per cent of the farms
are mortgaged. This is the lowest
percentage shown by any State in
the Union. kentucky comes next,
where II 1-2 per cent of the farms
are mortgaged, Pennsylvania Is,
Michigan %, Missouri 25, New York
80 and Kansas so. The reason for
the small number of mortgages in
Texas is because most of the farms
are homesteads, which, under the
State constitution are not subject to
mortgage. The farm mortgages re-
ported, with the exception of the
liens for the purchase money on the
homestead, are executed upon the
excess of land over and above the
homestead exemption, and do not in
any way endanger the security of
the homestead. Well may the
commissioner say: The compare
tive freedom Of Texas farms from
the burden of the mortgage system
is therefore largely due to the oper-
ations of the homestead law, which
stands as a mighty bulwark against
the avarice of the usurer and the
mismanagement of improvident hus
bands and fathers. This feature of
the constitution is much cliticlsed
by money lenders and BY many peo-
pie who would like to borrow money
on their homesteads. But on the
whole, it is a singularly wise pro-
viso. We observe with pleasure
that an attempt which is ahoilt to be
made TO modify this law is being
met with the most deternlin,d Il uppo-
sition. 1t is true that this system

FERTILIZING CORN.


FOLLOWING is synopsis of ex-
T periments on fertilizing corn by
Director McBryde, of S. G. The
figures represent the average yield
on the experiment farms of S. c.,
at Spartanburg, Darlington and Co.
lumbia for two years:
"These experiments have been
running too short a time to give
positive results. Thus far, howev-
er, they seem to suggest the follow
ing conclusions:
/. In unfavorable seasons for
Indian corn, such as 1888, fertiliz-
ers will not give profitable results,
and any season care and judgm ent
must be exercised in their applica-
ton.
2. The corn crop does not re-
spond to heavy application of nitro
genous manures. Moderate amounts
will probably give fair returns. In
our tests 100 lbs. of nitrate of soda
proved equally as effective as 240
lbs, .16S lbs. of dried blood as effec-
tive as 325 lbs. &c. ~
3. Of the nitrogenous fertilizers
commonly used by our farmers, nj
trate of soda, dried blood, cotton
seed meal and cotton seed (whole or
ground), one kind appears to be
about as effective on Indian corn as
another, where equivalent amounts
Ii. e. amounts furnishing a given
quantity of nitrogen) are applied.
The employment of any kind should,
therefore, be determined by the cost
its nitrogen. If in any season the
farmer finds that he can buy his nj
trogen more cheaply in the form OF
cotton seed meal than in the form
of nitrate of soda he should use the
first in preference to the second.
The results of the tests bear di-
rectly upon question of great prac-
tical importance-that of exchang-
ing cotton seed for cotton seed meal.
Many mills offer 700 lbs. of meal
and some 1000 lbs, in exchange for
1000 lbs, of seed. Would such ex-
change be judicious? In our expert
mcnts $50 lbs. of cotton seed meal

19 35 bushels of corn per acre, and
$50 lbs. of cotton seed gave 1870
bushels when applied whole, and
1858 bushels when grond, or an
average of 1919 bushels for the two
applications. II appears, therefore,

A week or two ago the New York
papers gave lengthy accounts, illustra-
ted with wood-cuts, Of how one John
Phillips had climbed to the top OF the
350.foOt chimney Of the Clark thread
works in New Jersey, the ascent being
made by ladders which he attached to
the masonry with iron hooks as he pro-
crossed upward. The feat was doubt
less one which not one man in hun
dred thousand would undertake or one
in million be able to accomplish as
Mr.. Phillips did. Yet the La Sale
Republican claims that like feat was
performed in that city year or two
ago by John Hopkins, who attached Il
series Of ladders TO MatthiesSen & lIeg-
eler's big chimney, 265 feet high, and
enclosed the ladders with lumber so As
to put each one practically in IA room
by itself, and thus made permanent
means Of reaching the top. OF course
he could have gone up Il thousand feet
if the chimney had been that high, as
readily as he went up 261 feet.
