WANTS TROLLEYS TO CARRY
FREIGHT.
AS chairman of special committee
to investigate the subject of transpor-
tation and freight rates, E. r. Collins.
of Westfeld, submitted report re-
commencing the creation of a Public
Utilities Commission in New Jersey,
besides urging that trolley roads
should carry freight. In discussing
the subject of railroad freight rates
Mr.. Collins described an experience
of the members of Hailton Square
Grange with the Pennsylvania rail-
road. Members of the grange order
ed 25 tons of coal to be shipped from
Bernace, Pa, to Newtown. with the
understanding that the freight rate
would be about s1.S5 ton. The coal
was carried from Bernace to Phillips
burg by the Lehigh Valley at a pub
lished rate of $40 From Phillips
burg to Newtown the Pennsylvania
charged$61 for the lot, making total
transportation charge on the 2.5 tons
of $101, little more than Sd ton.
1t would have cost the Hamilton
Square grangers but little more than
this to have boughS from their local
dealers in single ton lots. Mr.. Col
Inns said that since that incident the
Pennsylvania Company has published
So rate from Phillipsburg TO New
town, and that now the Grange pro-
poses to go before the Inter- State
Commerce Commission aud apply for
refund of 50 a ton On the shipment
upon which the freight charges we're
$4 ton.

The report of the commission on
tuberculosis in animals shows that
New Jersey imported during the fiscal
year ending October 81, 1908, 7,165
cows. These, at the average price of
$47.64, made up from the County
Board reports, aggregate total of
$341, $40. IF those animals were
above the average as milk producers,
and of good breeding and constitu-
tional vigor, the case would be differ
ent,' says the report. But we are
taking this large sum from the pro-
ceeds, and at the expense of some
other crop, to keep the dairy going,
and sometimes on non paying basis,
with low grade COWS. We are also
maintaining market for the inferior
COWS of New York, Pennsylvania and
have highgrade, uniform, well-bred
dairies by this indiscriminate meth
cd"
The average value of average farm
land in New Jersey is $40 per acre.
Average wages per month with board
$19.44, and without board, $32.
The commission on tuberculosis
diseases in cattle reported that dur
ing the past year 4,107 cows were ex-
amined, and 583 condemned at total
cost to the State of S13,96912.
GOvFORT SPEAKS ON FARM LIFE
The afternoon session was featured
by an address of Governor Fort, who
was full of "reminiscences of the days
when he was farmers boy" down
in Burlington county The Governor
was introduced to the agriculturalists
by DR.. E. B. Voorhees,, president of
the Board, who referred to him as a
man who knew something about farm
ing. In his address the Governor
said, in part:
II know something of farming.
lived and worked upon farm until
| was 21 years of age and served a
reasonable apprenticeship in that line.
There was time about that time,
apprehend, but / would have trouble
now, when could handle as much hay
and bind as much grain a day, and do
as much plowing in the field and plant
as much grain as any of the rest of
you who may be here. But those
days have gone and with them have
largely gone the old methods of farm
ing. The methods which we pursued
when | was boy, and learned what
little I know about farming, / pre-
sumo are largely out of use in the
day in which we are now living.
"Of course the kind of farming that
I did as boy is not the profitable
kind to-day, with the possible excep-
tion of potatoes. You are raising more
potatoes to-day than you did when
was a farmer, even during the times
just before and during the war, in
the sixties and UP to the early seven
ties. The vegetables, fruit, milk and
poultry which is being raised now by
our farmers were not so extensively
raised when / was a young man on
the farm. I rather regret to see in
the statement of the secretary that
the increase has not been great in the
output or product of milk in our State
in the lastyear. We are so situated
that we can do these things at a
profit. In the distant Dakotas and
Ohio, and elsewhere, it is different
Here we have on either side of us,
across the Hudson and across the Del
aware, 100000 of people to use the
products of New Jersey, people who
must come here for their products.
Such places for output do not exist
anywhere so near in as small space
Of land as the State Of New Jersey.

STATE BOARD AGRICULTURE

That agriculture still occupies an
important place among New Jersey
industries is evidenced by the report
of Franklin Dye, secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture, which was
presented last Thursday to the annual
meeting of that body in the State
House, Trenton.
The farms of the State are worth
over $186,000.000; buildings, 10000
600; implements and machinery, $10,-
100000: farm animals, not including
poultry, $25,0O0,000. The gross earn
ings for the year 1908 are $57,743,153,
an excess over 1907 of 81 ,239,41 The
increase in the value of our agricul-
tural products for the past nine years
is So per cent.
According to figures ubmitted by
Mr.. Dye, there are 100000 acres of
land in Southern New Jersey yet to be
developed forfarm purposes. 1t has
lain there very much as nature left it
since it was thrown up from the sea,
except for theannual devastation of
forest fires, which, however, are now
being brought under control. 1t has
been clearly demonstrated by expert
ments made by the States agricultur-
al experts that these southern pines
lands can be made to raise paying
crops. DR.. Edward B. Voorhees,, di-
rector of the experimental station, says
he can make them pay the interest
on valuation of $50 per acre 1t
is, produce crops that will bring an
income of S25 an acre every season.

The following crop statistics, cover
ing the last year, were presented to

BELLBOYS STRIKE TO
SECURE RECOGNITION
HOTEL IN PASADENA MEETS
WITH DIFFICULTY
Boss of Hops Tries to Introduce East
ern Custom, but Is Estopped,
and Lads Return to
Work

PASADENA, Feb. 9.-Peace reigns at Hotel
Raymond today-peace and joy-for no longer
do the clerks and porters have to rustic ice
water and cards; no longer do the maids have
to do double duty. All of these things hap
pened because the beIIboys of the hotel went
on a strike, not for higher wages, but against
eastern styles.
John Powers, boss bellboy, is thoroughly
up in the duties of his position. He knows
how a bellboy should look and dress for any
and all occasions. One of the ordinary bell
boys is Harry Biffen. Biffen did not like the
attitude he was expected to assume while
resting on the bench between calls. He main
tanned that the bench there for rest
purposes and not as a pedestal on which to
strike pleasing poses.
Biffen was warned. Then he was warned
several times more. And then Boss BelIboy
Powers told him he could obey orders or quit.
Bffen quit. So did seventeen other bellboys.
There was an hour SO when the situation
was really critical Good bellboys who know
the hotel and do not have to have q guide
to lead them about the corridors are hard
to find. One does not pick bellboys for a
big hotel casually from among a crowd of
applicants.
So after the maids and the porters and
such extra clerks were not duty had
done messenger service for an hour or so a
compromise brought about and the boys
went back to the bench in the lobby.
