Truck Pests.

At the Salem county farmers Institute
at Woodstown, Prof John B. Smith. State
Entomologist, spoke instructively on
Truck Pests. He said:-
Truck farming is one of the important
branches of agriculture. Insects and plant
diseases often come from growing extern
siyely one crop. To work out diseases the
rotation of crops, about once IN every three
years. is advisable. To know what crop to
follow after another is important in the pre-
vention of the diseases and pests.
Different crops on the same ground
bring the best results The cabbage worm
and plant lice trouble the farmers greatly
| in this section. These insects winter on
cabbage stumps and weeds. and with the
advent of warm weather they infest the
early plant and commence their ravaging
course. From the insect standpoint, don't
leave crop remnants on the ground to carry
over from one season to another these pests
Insects often feed on more than one crop.
Some insects do considerable damage to one
crop and on another crop they are almost
harmless, SO it is wise to study the insects
appetite and endeavor to give him the crop
he will not destroy.
growing is an important vocation it is ad
visable to pillow up the field in the fall, des-
troyiDg thousands of insects which other
wise would have come out in the spring
and attacked the tomato The striped
bug, which appears on the melons, eman-
ates from the pig weed, hence a warfare
against this weed is necessary.
The wisdom of clean culture is clearly
a. 1box, b hot md
neglected fields are the source of myriads
of insects.
There is constant inter-relation be-
tween the different classes of insects.
Thus the necessity of constant stirring and
cultivation of the land. Changing the
date of planting often escapes the rayages
of the insect if you are conVersant with
the habits of the pest. In squash growing
the insect does great injury, which can be
obviated by planting a trap crop, which
will manure in the summer and thereby
protect the late crop. The farmer must
study great deal more in the future than
he has in the past the needs of a crop
Study the insects in their relation to the
crop, and apply an ounce Of prevention
rather than pound of cure.
THE asparagus beetles are best dealt

grow up during the cutting season, and
after the insect has stored its eggs, destroy
ing the shoots.
THE lice on the fruit trees are more in
furious in wet seasons. Spraying with
kerosene is the most effective remedy used
on the fruit trees. Care must be taken in
using the kerosene, as too much of it will
kill the plant. 1t should be used on bright,
sunshiney days, when it will eyaporate
quickly, and is sure exterminator of the
insect
Secretary Dye emphasized the point of
following directions, if not disaster is pro-
duced and advice is condemned THE great
importance of study" said Mr.. Dye, Is
the farmers outlook for the future In
telligence is necessary and the higher
phases of agricultural work are to be
learned by keeping posted

NOTES.

The Country Club expect to play at At
lantic City on Saturday.
The Stevens, Jr. had not been defeated
until last Thursday and the Woodbury.
Jr.'s by defeating them now claim the
championship of Camden and Gloucester
counties.
We see by some of the papers that the
Stevens have spread the report that they
played against several of the Woodbury.
first team. Some members of the Jrs.
have played on the first team, but they be-
long to the Jrs. and because the Country
Club saw fit to borrow them, that should
not make them ineligible to the Jr. team.
The only Country Club ubstitute was Dey,
who played about ten minutes when some
one was laid off on account of injuries.
The Stevens made two changes during
that time. We won't say they changed for
first team men, because the so-called
Stevens A. A. Jr. is the only team the as
ISOLATION has and why isn't that the first
team?

ToInsure Prosperity.

The call for meeting of citizens in the
Board of Trade room last Friday evening
TO provide ways and means to secure the
location of shirt factory in Woodbury.,
was attended by about twenty citizens. A
member of the firm of Powdermaker Bros,
and Mr.. Harris and Mr. Geo. Fl. Valen-
tine, who constitute the proposed firm, were
introduced by Mr.. Johnson, and through
They were willing to establish a shirt fac
tory here in consideration of receiving a
building rent free and $3.50 in cash. Col.
Green had rendered the building, and the
proposition to raise the $3.50 was made to
citizens generally. Mr. Powdermaker said
the money was not asked as a bonus, but
the loss in employing learners was very
great, and the proposition that the town,
which received great benefit from such
establishment, bear portion of such loss,
was deemed fair. They would put in fifty
sewing machines at once, and in the course
of four weeks learners should earn from
three dollars week to seven dollars, uc-
cording to aptitude with which they took
to the work. They proposed to make the
industry permanent one here.
After aswering all questions as to the
enterprise, the meeting selected ex-Judge
Clymer, Charles Walton and Geo. E. Pier
son committee to conclude the contract
between Col. Green and the visitors as to
the building, and then to call another
meeting to secure subscriptions to the cash
fund.
The terms of the contract between Col
Green and firm have not yet been fully
agreed 10, yet considerable progress has
been made.
Representatives of a knitting firm are
now seeking location for factory here.

Amendment,
Supreme Court Justices Dixon, VanSyckle
and Collins, sitting as branch OF the SUI
preme Court, have fixed Friday Of this
week-to- morrow-as date upon which to
hear arguments upon the question OF
whether or not the anti-race track amend
ment had been adopted by constitutional
majority of the popular vote.
The issue is that raised by Mr.. Allan L.
McDermott incidentally during the recent
hearings on the application for recount OF
the vote. The claim is that to effect the in
corporation of a new provision in the con-
stitution an affirmative vote amounting to
more than one-half of all the ballots found
in the boxes is necessary. In issuing his
proclamation, Governor Griggs assumed
that plurality vote, that is vote in which
the affirmative exceeded the negative votes
