We have these facts from good auth
GRITTY concerning the business of South
Jersey Farmers Exchange The four
hundred farmers who were the origin
al stockholders have remained loyal
with very few exceptions and new
members are constantly coming in
Some days nine persons, besides the
office boy were kept busy at the
central Office, Woodstown. There are
eleven shipping points. Ninety-four
car loads were handled one day: from
two-thirds to three-fourths of he
potatoes shipped from Mullica Hill
are handled by the Exchange; fifteen
carloads were sent out one day, the
large crop could never have been
handled SO successfully without the
well equipped central office and pre-
arranged plan for selling the crop.
The average price has netted the
farmers more than that paid by the
dealers The rush is now over in
Gloucester County, but not in Salem.
A representative of the Exchange will
go to Maine in short time to lay
in supply of seed potatoes.
Joseph B. Owen, of Camden, has
many friends in this community who
will be glad to learn that he has been
promoted to the position of yard mas
ter at Swedesboro. Mr.. Owen has
charge of freight department. One
day last week he sent out seventy
three cars of freight.
This community contributes large
share of the active workers whose
efforts make the Gloucester County
Grange Picnic at Alcyon Park pre-
eminently successful. Theo Brown
is vice president; Elmer Bradshaw,
secretary; Alexander P Owen, chair
man of committee on Exhibits of
Farm Products; Annie c.. Bradshaw,
chairman of committee on Exhibits of
Women's work; T. Herbert Borden,
chairman of committee on exhibits of
live stock; Elmer Bradshaw chairman
of exhibits of machinery 1t is be-
lieved that this exhibit will be larger
than ever before and Mrs. Bradshaw
is much pleased to be able to an
nounce triple space for the display
of woman's work. Owing to this it
is hoped full justice may be done all
exhibitors. Mr.. Bradshaw, as secre-
tary, is untiring in his efforts to pro-
mote the interests of Alcyon Park
Grange Picnic and says more people
are interested, especially from a dis
lance than ever before.
Programs are being circulated for
a Gold Medal Contest to be held at
Pitman Grove Tuesday, August the
tenth, at 2.30 o'clock, in the auditor
ium. The judges are Alexander l..
Rogers, Prosecuting Attorney; James
d. Carpenter, editor Gloucester Co.
Democrat, and Charles Walton, Ex-
Mayor of Woodbury.. Mr.. Isaac Dav-
idson will represent this community
in the contest which will probably be
one of the best ever held in the county
Many of our people enjoyed the
Gloucester County Merchants excur-
sion last week.
