STATE GAINS $4,000
FROM HUNTING LICENSES

The state fish and game commission
ers are more than pleased At the work
ing OF the new law requiring a license
Zee OF 81 for resident gunner to go
aheld ion game, the season opened last
week for this sport
There has already been received IN
the state treasury over $4,000 from
these licenses. and rs interest in the
licenses has been intense lately, il is
expected that when the returns for the
month are in there will be received
more than twice the $4,000 now &C
counted Tor.
In all, the commissioners believe
there will be received from this source
revenue OF $4,000. The money is
clear gain to the state, nothing of the
kind having heretofore been received,
and its receipt would indicate that the
commissioners knew what they were
talking about when they told the legis-
lators that il the law was passed the
state would get revenue which would
go Tar towards supporting the fish and
game commission and stocking the
state with game and fish.
The commission in the state house
supplies the county clerks with blank
licenses, those officials in turn supply
ing the municipal clerks, SO that it is an
easy thing to get license Because
OF this system ii is impossible to now
tell how much money will be received,
but ii is believed that the amount will
not fall short Of SIS 5000 and this is all
clear gain to the state.

the Duke home that Mr. Duke, who is
now in New York City, has issued
orders to close the park after fire had
been discovered to destroy imported
shrubbery and statuary valued at thou
sands of dollars
1t is believed that the fire may have
been started by careless person in an
automobile or wagon who threw light
ed cigar among the leaves in the road
way.
Mr. Duke has on his estate imported
marble statuary and shrubbery valued
at more than $1,000, 900, which would

High Prices for Jersey Tomatoes.

Speculation regarding the tomato
pack for 1909 has run rife recently and
the market has been more or less uncer-
tain because of the conflicting reports
which have left il impossible TO say
just what has occurred.
At a meeting of the Tri-State Pack
ers' Association last week the total fig
ures for the country for 1907-l90S were
given rs %, 000, 600 eases, which is CON
sidered Il fair estimate OF the output,
and more than half of these have been
absorbed. But the quantity packed i'll
1909 is still in doubt
1t may be noted here that the toma-
to is the more literally packed of all
canned products and is most generally
used by every family in the land. 1t
is universal, and the result is that
trade has increased during the last few
years by leaps and bounds. Mary
land, Delaware and New Jersey put
up the best, New Jersey tanners OBJ
tain the highest prices for their good
and they undoubtedly pack rs good ms
any one in the country. Some experts
are of the opinion that New jersey
packed tomatoes are worth more than
those of any other state, but that is
| question which can he determined by
each individual to suit himself.
The difference between New jersey
tomatoes and those packed elsewhere
lies i'll the extra care eXerted in the Sc
laction of the seed, the cultivation and
the development OF the canning indus
try into an exact science. New Jersey
packed tomatoes are always worth
from 10 To % cents a ease more than
quotations run so in the city markets.
The industry is important, showing
during the last few years the liberal
growth, with possibilities of further
increase i'll the future. The soil of the
central and southern portions of the
state is peculiarly adapted To the
growth of tomatoes which are cspeci-
ally valuable for canning and packers
have moi been slow To take advantage
of this fact. The result is n great and
growing industry which brings large
revenues to the state and is fast deNel-
oping into one OF its most important
business enterprises.

The DECLINE OE FARMING.

A short time ago, before the Ameri-
can Bankers Association, James J.
Hill spoke in a pesslmlstie VEN with
reference to farming in this country and
argued that unless the practice Of agri
culture changes for the better we will,
in comparatively short time, have to
import grain and breadstuffs instead OF
exporting them. He said in substance
that the agricultural population and
the agricultural products must both be
increased, OF the question of a home
supply of food will supersede all others.
Mr.. Hills remarks have been char
acterized as those oil an alarmlst, but
there are few men who have had bet
ter opportunities Dian he to observe
and study conditions III this country,
and his utterances upon such an i'm
portant topic should not be dismissed
Us unworthy Of consideration. I'hey
should be thoroughly investigated and
if found to be well buttresscd by facts,
they should be made the basis for plans
to prevent the perlls by predicts
What has brought about the high
prices OF meats and breadstuft2 What
but a comparatively scarcity OF these
products What has brought about
the abandonment Of SO many farms in
all the New England Statesf What but
the fact that the present day farmers
can't make living ON them, though
former day farmers lived well on them.
There have been IS, 900 farms IN New
Jersey for many years. No new ones
have been added by the reclamation Of
hitherto uncultiva,ed soil, nor have
many old ones been divided into two
or three Some have been practically
abandoned, while others have been cut
up into city lots and have been lost to
productive agriculture. The total cul-
tivabe area in New Jersey has hardly
increased an acre in a quarter OF cen
tury, and Secretary Wilson says this
area is decreasing throughout the
United States
Population, manufactures, commerce
and the other avenue OF industry have
grown enormously. They have spread,
they have multiplied; they are still
growing with great rapidity But there
many farmers East and west, north
and south, farm hands are exceedingly
hard to get, though IN former days they
were plentiful Farm yields have in
creased, ii Is true, but only through
new methods and new machinery. But
these have not begun to keep pace
with the increase of population, wealth
and wage earning Industries.
The conditions, then, are simpl,
these: Consumers have increased, and
are increasing far more rapidly thai
the raising OF food products. The ag
gregate farm area is decreasing an,
farm help IS growing more scare. I'm.
less something can be done to readjus
these conditions, to change them lol
the better, to reduce the ever widening
dlsproportion between farm products
and food consumers, MIR. Hills prcdic
tons seem certain to be realized in The
not distant future. Newark Evening

Bad cooking as cause for divorce
and improper uses of the frying pan
were discussed in the closing session of
the New Jersey Congress of Mothers
held in Trenton last week. Mrs. f. NJ.
Thatcher, Of the committee on domestic
science, hygiene and sanitation, de-
clared that there was good reason for
believing that the frying pan IS the
cause of many divorces. She asserts
that good cooking will solve many
questions that arise in the family be
cause of drunkenness, immortality and
other causes.
