AS Elsinboro showed such a large
shortage the Board voted to add S25, O0C
to their value by a vote of Is to 2.
AS compared with last year the table
shows a decrease of S40,654 in real es.
tate and S1S2, COP in personal property.
Total decrease 1928, 256. The decrease
in debts is $19I, 161. This is caused by
mortgage holders taking possession of
teal estate. Thereby they become the
real owners and a debt ceases to be
sworn off against the property.
1t will be seen that nearly all this de-
crease is in the Townships and not in
the Towns. What does it mean ? 1t
means that the farmers are not pros
porous, that they are not producing
wealth from the earth, the only real
producer of wealth, that the cost OF
their products is more than they are re-
ceiving for them, that they are living
on what they have earned in former
years, that they are being driven to
bankruptcy, ruin, poverty, to become
slaves, paupers and criminals. Farm

Pruning In the West.

In reply to the query whether peach

We cannot gauge our operations with
the peach by those that are successfully
employed III the east and south. There
cutting back is practiced at the close Of
the seasons growth and at the begin
ming of the ripening period OF the wood.
This practice is beneficial in those To-
