STATE BOARD
OF AGRICULTURE
Will Meet in Trenton Janu-
ary 18th to 10Th.
.FRELINGHUYSEN IN CHAIR
The Farmers May Bring Somerset
Statesman into Very Promi-
nent Place in State.

The thirty-ninth annual meeting of
the New Jersey board of agriculture.
which occurs in Trenton January
IL to 10 inclusive, will be memorable
for many events. the first being that it
will have an address from the presi-
dent, Joseph S. Frelinghuysen; sec
ond, that Senator Frelinghuysen will
by that time be full-fledged member
of the state board of education, and,
therefore, his reelection to head the
farmers for the next year will be
problematical, and third. this is likely
to be the starting of boom for Sena-
to Frelinghuysen for either senator to
succeed Frank o. Biggs in the upper
federal chamber or for the Republican
nomination for governor of New Jer-
sey.
Secretary Franklin Dye this week
completed arrangements for the extern
sive program of this body, and a
glance at it shows that the New Jer-
sey farmers will have this year even
more interesting series of lectures
on farming and how to market farm
produce profitably than ever before in
the history of the organization.
The officers of the state board are:
Joseph S. Frelinghuysen, president;
John r. Cox, Whitehouse Station, vice
president; Franklin Dye, Trenton,
secretary, and A. J. Rider, Harmon
ton. treasurer.
The complete program for this ses-
sion of the farmers is as follows, it
being given in the supreme court
room in the state house:
After the reading of minutes and all
preliminary matters have been attend
ed to, reports will be received from
Senator George W. F. Gaunt, master
of the state grange; from Treasurer
Rider, Secretary Dye, and the report
of the committee on transportation
and freight rates, through it's chair
man, E. R. Collins. After message
has been received from Governor
Woodrow Wilson, who can not be pres
ent because of his speech-making tour
at that time. President Frelinghuysen
will make his address, and while Sen
ator Frelinghuysen will largely con-
fine himself to the agricultural pro-
fession, being professional farmer
with stock and dairy interest of a high
order, he is expected to say a few
things political, calculated to make
his friends and political foes sit up
and take notice.
DR.. Jacob G Lipman, director of the
state experiment station at New Bruins
wick, will deliver the first lecture, it
being on the subject, New Jersey
Agriculture: It's Problems and Their
Solution" He will be followed by DR..
H. w. Collingswood, editor of the Rur-
al New Yorker, talking on THE Far
mer's Share of the Consumers Dollar"
An illustrated stereopticon lecture on
Farm Management" by Professor G.
F. Warren, of Cornell University, will
close the program of the first day of
the session.
On the morning of the second day
DR.. J. H. DeVine, of Goshen, N. Y,
will lecture on "Tuberculin and its
Value in the Control of tuberculosis" +"
following the report of the commits
sion on tuberculosis in animals. Ed
ward Van Alstyne, of Undertook, n
Y, will then lecture on Milk Prob
lens"
Milk Ordinances as Affecting Cost
of Production" will be the subject of
DR.. Harris Moak, a Brooklyn bacteri-
ologist and chemist, and DR.. John B.
Smith will make his report as state
entomologist.
The farmers have been in the past
much opposed to reciprocity in auto
mobile licenses, and it is expected that
they will not be less so when they
have heard the lecture of ]. B. R.
Smith, state commissioner of motor
vehicles, who is on the program to
discuss "State Road Problems. Mr.
Smith is against reciprocity.
