Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1901-08-08

learned Of the stolen horse, and suspecting
his passenger, took him in CHARGE and
turned him over to Constable Davenport.
Later Constable Enoch Garrison arrived
with warrant for Albert Brown, issued by
Justice Brooks, of Elmer, and endorsed by
Justice Barnaby, of Woodbury., who was
suspected of the theft
The lame man proved to be Albert
Brown, and acknowledged his guilt He
said he left the horse in Ladd's woods, just
OFF the Glassboro stone road, in Deptford
township, where it was found, none the
worse for its nights drive.
Brown was taken to Salem Jail at once.
Brown supports himself chiefly by beg
ging, and can make a very pathetic plea
for aid for "a poor unfortunate man,
New Jersey at the Pan-American.
New Jersey has taken great pains to
make her exhibit in the agricultural de-
partment of the Pan-American exposition
credit to the State and benefit to the
country. She has stepped outside the
beaten track by presenting what may be
regarded as an educational exhibit, particu-
larly in the way of market gardening and
dairying. A map has been carefully pre-
pared, showing the fruit and dairy sections
and giving the locations of the railways
and stone roads, thus showing the ease and
access of markets, while the exhibits are
intended to show that the State is up-to-date
in all things and ahead in many, particu-
larly in the matter of asparagus, early
potatoes, tomatoes, egg plants sweet pota-
toes, melons, etc. While this display of
agricultural products in most of the State
departments is made up mainly from grains
OF various kinds, and vegetables from cold
storage, New jersey has taken care to have
exhibits of fresh vegetables on hand to
show the time of their maturing ready for
market in that State
Asparagus, beets, salad, onions, etc, were
displayed early i'll the season. The first
white potatoes were shipped June 30,
cucumbers tomatoes and sugar corn early
in July, and by the middle OF that month
Gloucester county sent fine lot of toma-
toes, peppers and egg plants, which attracted
great attention. Many visitors inquired if
it could be possible these products had
grown there so early in the season. In
rows of glass cases the New Jersey Expert
ment Station shows the various butterflies
moths and worms that mean destruction to
so many of the farmers crops, and this
ooefoioA NCEOl fCo opCClttI lOi
its effectual work in destroying these pests
The illustrated growth of valuable forage
crops, and samples of what has already
been grown and fed the cattle the early
part of the season, attract the attention of
many visitors and leads them to investigate
the improved method Of feeding dairy cows
AS the various forage crops grow readily in
New jersey and can be cured to make use
f,,l ,l,,,4
the year, and because of the very large
number of retail markets within her limits
and upon her borders, New Jersey offers as
many advantages for dairying as any other
State in the Union, Atlantic City alone
requiring an immense amount of milk to
supply her ever-changing population that
comes thousands of miles
To view her ocean strand,
And write their names ON Jersey sand
One of the most popular exhibits in the
New Jersey department. is a graphoscope
1t brings to view at every turn of the wheel
some beautiful picture, either of Jersey
crops growing in the field, or her orchards
loaded with various kinds of fruit, her farm
houses and farm buildings, not emitting
some of her sons and daughters in the pic
lures. Also, her beautiful macadam roads,
built under the new road law, that has
become popular in almost every State.
Among the jersey exhibits of grain a
Western farmer found his ideal ear of corn,
and Secretary Dye is very much gratified
with the remarks visitors make in reference
to the States products
In judging the merits of an article to be
used as food, quality and market value
should be considered rather than abnormal
size. Potatoes or tomatoes that grow very
large, rough and hollow-hearted, may make
great bulk and still be almost unstable
A great crop of that kind of produce would
not pay the grower. The incentive should
be to produce the kind and quality of any
thing the public will buy, because they
appreciate its superiority.
