"A Mexican Honeymoon Well Received

The production of IA Mexican Honey
moon" by the Paint and Powder Club of
the Morris Guards, Of Atlantic City, in
Green's opera house, on Tuesday evening
carried the audience by storm, and one
and all were loud in their false of the ex-
cellent entertainments they had witnessed.
While the audience was small in numbers
nothing was lacking in enthusiasm, and
frequent encores bore witness to the fact
that each number was rendered in man
ner worthy professional talent. The con-
clusion of the performance was the signal
for three ringing cheers for Woodbury. by
the entire troupe. The Guards expect to
vsit this city next year, and no doubt they
will be welcomed by full house.

What Will The Harvest Be /?

The largest acreage of potatoes ever
known will probably be planted in this
county this year, said farmer this week.
Under present prices, the cost Of planting
an acre is very close to, if not fully, $50,
and the yield varies from 200 TO 400 bas-
kets per acre, dependent on the soil, culti-
Yation, the season, and tiliage. Added to
the above figure, must be the cost of till
age, digging and marketing, hence it will
be seen that the cost to the farmer Of every
acre is between S75 and 500. This means
that up-to-date farming is not only expen-
sive, but it is a hazardous enterprise as
we'll In order to be followed at profit
the yield must be at least 300 baskets per
acre, and the price must be not far from SO
cents per basket
1t is quite natural, therefore, that farm
,ers are doing considerable speculating along
the line of what will the Harvest be 81
and how will prices he.

Last Years Corn Crop.

Clark Petit, Of Salem county, writing
60 the Salem SuHbeam, warns farmers of
the Importance of exercising great care in
selecting seed corn this year. He says
"Any one would haYe been pronounced
either a lunatic or fool last summer after
the corn was blown down for asserting that
the value of the crop had been lessened one
half, and yet such an estimate would have
been we'll within bounds, because while the
yield was not lessened one-balf, yet the
grain meyer ripened or matured. Much OF
it was soft and milky when hHsked in No
vemher, and when cribbed it either shriY-
elled badly or moulded to such an extent
and so uniformly that in recently weighing
several loads of ears bought by farmers at
various Yendues the lessened weights show
that an average load containing forty bush
els of ears will shell from four to five bush
els of shelled corn less than in other sea-
sons. Many loads haYe not an ear of sound,
we'll ripened corn in them-eyery ear being
either light and mouldy or so badly shriy-
elled and fiimsy as to Indicate that it con-
tains but little nutriment or fat producing
properties as fully corroborated by all stock
feeders from which it may reasonably be
expected that farm horses be thinner than
usual this season, and more subject to sick
ness also.
Another serious proposition arising from
this disaster will be securing seed corn that
will germinate and grow this season. Every
lot of seed corn should be carefully and
thoroughly tested before the planting sea-
son otherwise still further loss must result
from poor stands and lessened yields anoth-
er season.
