AN EDUCATIONAL MOVEMENT.
Monday, March 1st.

Monday, March 1st.
AS the initial step in campaign to
arouse more interest in scientific farm
ing in New Jersey, the State Agricul-
tural College and the Pennsylvania
Railroad are to cooperate in running
a farmers educational train through
Southern New Jersey on March s, 8,
and 10. Nineteen stops will be made,
and at each of the stations lectures
will be given on soil fertility, potato
and strawberry production, alfalfa,
corn and dairy products.
1t is believed that the adoption of
more improved methods of farming
in New Jersey will greatly increase
its agricultural output, and it is this
which the State Agricultural College
and the Pennsylvania will urge upon
the farmers. This movement also
typifies the many methods adopted by
the Railroad company to create traffic
for its lines by promoting the better
ment of the country through which
it operates.
To advertise the Farmers Special,
large posters giving all particulars of
ent places in the section through
WhASh II 40 W LII dQulLIOH. Tia
tailed information concerning this un-
usual train will be placed before the
farmers by personal letters from the
State College authorities.
Two cars of the train will be fitted
up as lecture rooms. Upon the ar
rival of the train at each station, far
mers will be invited to take seats in
these cars. Stops will be of so min
utes, dur ing which time four 25 min
ute lectures will be given, two in each
car. In addition, pamphlets on dairy
management, fertilizer formulas, po-
tato culture and other subjects will
be distributed among the audiences
for permanent reference or study.
On the train from the State Agricul-
tural College will be Dr. Edward B.
Voorhees,, Edward VanAlstyne, K. c..
Davis, and NJ A. Blake. Division
Freight Agents w. w Winner, Jr., and
VIM. Coffin will represent the Railroad
Company.

at 8 a m. Monday March 8, and will
make stops at Paulsboro, Bridgeport,
Pedricktown, Elmer, Daretown, Quin-
ton, Salem lover night, Glassboro,

man Steelman's ordinance regulating

weeks ago the fee for hotels was plac-
ed at $3.50, the present rate being
$780, but an amendment by Henry W.
Sinnickson boosted the fee to $500.
An amendment by the same member
placed the bott1ers' fee at 5000, the
present figure, instead Of $500, as con-
templated.
