Cost Of Raising Cranberries.

In connection with the preliminary
work of the federal census relative to cul-
ture and production of cranberries, it is
interesting to note the estimates of cost as
made by an authority. At the annual
meeting of the American Cranberry Grow
ers Association held at Trenton the close
of January, Secretary Rider presented
some figures on this subject. To arrive at
the cost of placing bushel of cranberries
on the market, he divided the subject into
three heads, harvesting, market and pro-
ductive expenses Under the first he
placed picking, per bushel, 4Oc., supervis-
ion, &C., carting to storehouse, 1c., shrink
age between the packers bushel and the
market bushel &C., total 51c. Market ex-
penses: Box or barrel 10c., sorting and
packing 7c., carriage to station &c., freight
7c., city carriage &c, commission (73 per
cent 104c., total 40c., or Ole. for harvest
ing and marketing expenses.
From the third item, productive ex-
penses, Mr.. Rider estimated on the
basis of so acre plantation, repre-
senting a cost of $4,000. Wages, taxes,
insurance, ETC., he places at $40 per acre,
add interest on capital, s per cent, $12,
total per acre, $32, or 64c. per bushel on
estimated yield. This, added to the 91c.
makes the total cost of producing a mar
ketj bushel of cranberries $1.55. He esti-
mated the average rate of yield in New
Jersey 90 bushels per acre; in New Eng
land 60 bushels, and adds that it is safe to
assume the average grower in the west
cannet produce bushel of cranberrie'
more cheaply than the Eastern grower.

charged with failure Ito provide the ne
cessities of life for his wife. Mr.. and Mrs.
Myers were married little over year
ago by Justice John D. Clevenger, and of
late have resided on Monroe street. Mrs.

ment, which was in the possession of

There was quite shake up of the pass
engers on the 1851 train to Philadelphia
on Thursday afternoon at the Mount
Holly station. What prevented more peo-
pie from being hurt and why nobody
was killed is a wonder. A train was
drilling in the yard and two cars loaded
with gravel were cut loose. As they
started towards the station on down
grade it became apparent that the brakes
would not hold them and they would
have to run until they brought up of their
own volition.
/ Flagman James Austin, who was guard
ing the Madison avenue crossing, took in
the situation at a glance. He knew the
passenger train would soon be due, so he
seized his red flag and ran towards the
train which was just then about to enter
the cut at Pine street.
The gravel cars were fast following
Austin, and two men were on them en-
deavoring to make the brakes take hold,
but it was of no use. Austin reached the
bridge and waved his danger signal The
gravel cars got there almost as quick as
he did, and the two men jumped off and
ran up the track waving red flags The
passenger train did not slacken, however,
and came right on down the heavy grade.
The engine and the runaway cars came
together with crash. The pilot of the
engine was smashed and the forward
wheels were thrown back against the
drivers. The front of the first passenger
coach was badly damaged. The end of
the gravel car was wrecked.
Conductor Matlack was thrown against
the side of the car and his chin was cut.
William Dunfee, of Smithville, received
cuts in the head that necessitated some
stitches being taken. Frank Mathews, an
express messenger, was cut in the head.
DR.. r. G. Darlington was summoned and
was promptly on the scene and attended
to the injured.
Where the responsibility rests is being
Investigated by the railroad company. 1t
looks as if there was carelessness some
where. 1t is customary for engineers to
allow their firemen, on some portion of a
trip, to run the engine in order to become
acquainted with that part of the work.
On Thursday the fireman of the passenger
train was in charge of the engine. Why
he did not see the danger signals has not
been stated. That they were plainly dis
cernible is certain from the statements of
some passengers who saw them when the
train emerged from the cut at Pine street.
There is sharp curve at that point which
may have interfered with the vision of
the man in charge of the engine, but the
person on the fireman's side should not
have had any difficulty to notice them.
If they could be seen from the passenger
coaches they ought to have been noticed
from the engine by those whose duty it is
to be on the lookout for such things. A
rule of the company requires all engineers
to have their trains under control on en-
tering yard, and the efficiency of the
emergency brake is so well known that it
is wonder that the train could not be
brought to standstill sooner These
matters, however, will probably be in
vestigated by the company, and those
who were on the train are thankful that
things were no worse and that they are
alive.
