TRENTON, Jan. S, 1Ss9.-The remarks
about trusts made by Henry /. Budd, State
Road Commissioner, before the Hortieul-
tural Society has created much talk.
Mr.. Budd says the yields Of horticul-
ture this year have been quite poor. ex-
cepting the cranberry crop. 'Cranber-
ries,' he says, "have been a very large
crop. Burlington county alone has pro-
duced 0 1l5,00o bushels, five out OF
the fifty growers in the county producing
about LOCO bushels of this yield. On ac-
count of the scarcity of apples and other
fruit, the demand has been great and the
prices realized very gratifying. The
crop has nearly all been masketed, much
of it shipped to California, Texas and
tanned netted from seventy-fve cents to
one dollar per busheI."
A second sensation was sprung on the
society late in the day by L. F. S.
seaanck. of Freehold, who was on the
pie Orchard and the Forces Affecting It's
SAFES. Mr.. Schanek branched out into
a Tree silver speech. He began first by
attacking the trusts and the stock-water-
ing process which creates fictitious values.
The national banks he also scored. and
tnen he said that while Wall street was
faIN.ng about Al cent dollars. the farmers,
through the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of wealth.,
were only getting AZ cents for a dollars
worth of produce. MIR. Schanck then said.
