Another hebrew settlement.

Judge John NJ Moore, of Clayton, is ne
gotiating with one of the Jewish benevo.
lent societies for the sale Of bis big tract oil
unimproved land in upper Cape May
county, located in the neighborhcod OF
Woodbine Station. In conversation
Judge Moore remarked that there has as
yet been no money paid, the agents for the
proposed settlers being engaged in search
ing titles of these and lands located in the
State of New York. 1t is highly probable,
however, that another Hebrew settlement
will soon be started up within the limits
of the county. Judge Moore says that
Baron Hirseh will lend to his prosecuted
people some So, 900, 900, to be secured by
bond and mortgage. Of the 900 families
of Jews in South Jersey, many of them
have already been able to free their new

For Uniformity.

There is movement on foot to secure
uniformity in text books used in public
schools throughout the State. At present
the law allows the trustees of each county
to make their own selection and it fire.
quently happens that adjoining districts,
though in different counties, have entirely
different text books. This causes much
unnecessary expense to parents of children
who happen to move from one district to
another. AT a recent meeting of District
Clerks at Vineland, clerk presented q
resolution adopted at the last meeting OF
his Board. The resolution was to the effect
that uniform series of text books be
adopted all over the State and that the
State department of education be asked to
furnish the schools, thus relieving the
people of paying 'exorbitaDt" prices for
those publications which are subject to
change so often. This matter is being
stirred by the Farmers Alliance in many
localities.
The Monitor., 1891-08-21
Crop Indication.

The observers and crop correspondents
| of the New Jersey Weather Serv ice report
for the week ending Friday, August 14th,
that the temperature and sunshine have
been above the normal in all portions of the
State. The rainfall has been below the
average, only light local showers occur
ring. These conditions have been most
favorable to all growing crops, especially
to corn and vine truck. The former has
vigorous growth both in stalk and ear,
and the latter is maturing rapidly in all
the districts.
Professor Smith has made an examiua-
tion of the vineyards at Hammonton, Egg
Harbor aud vicinity to get data as to rose
bug injury, and has also noted the differ
ence between such as were sprayed and
such as were unsprayed by the copper mix
lures. He finds that in all vineyards the
vines have set very heavy crop and will
make very good fruit sprayed or unsprayed.
They are coloring up rapidly, and are now
said TO be out of danger. Nortons and
| Cynthians have set heavily, and are free
from rot where sprayed. Concords have
rotted badly in all unsprayed vineyards,
and will not yield 2 per cent. of sound
fruit. In sprayed vineyards they are good
in proportion to the care exercised in spray
ing. In the Renault vineyards they show
barely per cent of rot and the same is
true elsewhere. Some vineyards have the
fruit badly spotted where spraying was
careessly done or stopped too soon, but
all of these are many times better than
those unsprayed, which are already 10 per
cent. gone.
Some cranberry bogs were also visited
and were found to have set heavily in
most cases. There is already a beginning
of scald noticeable on all of them, and in
some the katydids have done injury to a
| small extent.
Fruit growers who have sprayed their
fruit for the coddlng moth with London
purple only unite IN saying that this has
also been effective in making smooth fruit
| free from rust or spot.
