NEW JERSEY FARMERS


Give Optimistic Testimony Before tie
Industrial Commission.
Washington, June "a. - Richman
Coles, farmer of Salem county, New
Jersey, was before the industrial COM
mission yesterday. He said the farm
ers of New Jersey had no especial com
plant, though there was general
feeling that conditions might be i'm
proved. Prices for their products
were generally lower, while wages for
farm hands were higher than formerly.
Within the past 25 years farms In his
section had deprecated in value about
80 per cent The depreciation in the
price of products was not so great. He
was inclined to attribute the lower
prices to competition from the west
and SOUTH He advocated tariff on
farm products.
Mr.. Samuel 3. Ketchum, also a New
Jersey farmer, expressed the opinion
that the outlook for farming in the
United States was bright. believing
that the time was not far distant when
the demand for farm products would be
equal to the supply. One of the hard
ships with which many farm owners
had had to contend for the past quar-
ter of a century was the decline in
prices of farm lands He also thought
that the best agricultural lands in the
west had been located, and that the
increase in production in that section
would not be so rapid in the future an
It had been in the past. AS conse-
quence the increase in population
would soon make good the difference.

The republicans of the house held
another caucus yesterday afternoon
to discuss the reform bills. Several
members revolted and refused to go
into the caucus. About a dozen did
not attend, and it was decided to
postpone action in the house on the
reform bills until next week. A
committee of thirteen members, one
from each congressional district, was
appointed to agree on the amend
ments that will be submitted to the
caucus next week. 1t is hoped in
this way to agree on bill that will
attract enough support to hold near
ly all the republicans in line, but the
indications now are that the bills
will not be made republican caucus
measures.
The democratic members have
not caucused and two or three sub
stitute bills will be offered from the
democratic side. Lerf, the populist,
will offer a referendum amendment
to both bills, allowing the people of
the township or county to decide by
an election whether they will adopt
the new plan.
Mr.. Eichhorn, a democrat, will
probably introduce substitute Gre
ating a non-partisan board of four,
by the circuit court, to sit
with the commissioners to supervise
all purchases of township and coun-
ty supplies and fix the township and
county tax levies. A food of peti-
tions and letters is now pouring in
against the reform bills.
Republican State Chairman Hern-
ly was in yesterdays caucus, and adj
mits that the revolt is not encourag-
ing for the passage of the bills.
