The Potato Market

The price of early white potatoes was
never so low in recent years as it is this
year. The large crop last year was held
by the farmers until spring with the ex-
p~ectation of a high price like last year,
but some were sold for zoe a bushel and
many in the West were fed to stock.
The early crop in the South was large
this year and that kept the price low so
that when Jersey potatoes were ready for
market only from 75c to Soc a barrel was
offered.
The Woodstown Monitor-Register last
week said; The early potato crop pro-
misses a large yield, but the price is low.
One farmer carted a load from Woods
town to Mullica Hill last Friday and re-
ceived only 80 cents a barrel. The farm
ers will be wise if they do not hurry
them off two fast. When the Southern
potatoes are out of the market the price
will probably be better.
The Elmer Times last week said:
Farmers have held back a little thus far
and up to Thursday night only about
thirty carloads had been shipped from
Elmer station this week. The lowest
prices paid was Soc per barrel and the
highest SLY. Thursday the price ruled
about 81. 10. 1t is claimed that the prices
paid here are a little higher than condi-
tions warrant as the market is practically
glutted, in the large cities. The potato
raisers are hoping for IN advance to at
least $1.25 which is about as low as they
can afford to grow them.

A Public Park Wanteu

Tie grandeur and beauty of our at
tractive Delaware river is slowly, but sure
ly, being hemmed in and fenced from
view along our borough front, and the
health of our inhabitants is surely going
to be placed in jeopardy, unless we unite
as in one body, and throw Off the shack
les that bind as to our porches and curb
stones and with one supreme effort,
nothing daunting, say we are going to
purchase from the present owner, the old
Sheble river front property for a Public
Park, for the use of the people of PENIS
Grove, or any part of these healed sum-
mer days.
1t is time to forget the dollar, and to
awake to the sensibility of the duty
we owe to each other and to our health
and comfort. We are living in a pro-
g~ressive town. We have water works,
gas, fire company, and why not a public
park? We must have it, we will have it,
providing there is generosity and liberal
ity enough i'll the people that they will
not squeeze the dollar too hard. We see
in our daily papers how the poor suffer,
living on small streets and marrow alleys,
and why? Because they cannot get a good
fresh breath OF air, hemmed in by large
buildings and skyscrapes, and here in
this beautiful Borough of ours, is it posi-
BILE that we are going to be fenced off
from the granduer and magnificence and
refreshing breezes of the placid Della.
ware river?
The health of our mothers and child
rem call forth some thought for a Public
Park on the river front. Their health
demand it. Your children enjoy it and
at present they cannot reach it, neither
| by street or otherwise without being
tresspassers upon some others property.
Had you thought of this? If SO think
again, and then tell everyone Just what
you think Of a public park.
l hope to arouse a feeling, an interest
in every person of public spiritedness
The real necessity of a public park Oh
our river front, and that the site, Sheble's
Grove, is the place and has the location
in our town.
There are those who would like to So,
it made a public park, men who are will
ing to contribute freely for the purchas,
of said tract to be used as a Public Park
Our Borough should have it, our peopI,
demand it, and let us beautify our tow
with a public park.
This is a proposition that demands tn,
utmost attention from every citizen O
borough and do not let the subjec
drop out of sight.
