Sure Crops

The following information, rel
atlve to crops best adapted to
this section of the state, is con-
tanned in letter of recent date,
from H. M. Cottrell, Agricultur-
al Commissioner, to a Meade
citizen:
CAS- to the agricultural condi-
tons of Meade County, would
say that l have been all over the
county many times and am thor
oughly posted on every phase of
its agricultural life. Meade
County farmers should give more
attention to Milo Maize. Spanish
Peanuts, stock, poultry, and
dairylng, all of which are abso-
lutely certain every year. The
farmers in Meade county to-day
who are following these lines are
the prosperous farmers. The
Milo Maize on many Meade coun-
ty farms last fall was worth
more than the land upon which
it stood, and Milo maize is a GER
tain crop every year.

n. p. Conferences Will r1erge

Methodist Protestant churches in cent
raj and southern New Jersey are to merge
with the Eastern conference. which con-
solidated the New York, Pennsylvania
conferences last year. The union was
practically effected by delegates from
two church bodies at a session in the
Hamilton Avenue IN. P. Church, Patter-
son last week, as ratification by the ma
tlonal conference which convenes at Bal
tlmore next month il practically assured.
The consolidation does not include
churches of this denomination in Eliza
beth and Newark which are connected
with the Maryland conference. 1t takes
IN Methodist Protestant parishes in
kearny, Roseland, Camden, Atlantic
City, Bridgeton, Egg Harbor, Fair Haven,

town, M~anasquan, Magnolia, New Brook
lyn, Osborneville. Penns Grove, Pleasant
vile, South Amboy, Soners Point, Union
Valley, Westville. Robertsville and many
smaller places in the State.
Besides the advantage that naturally
comes by greater number in the confer
ence, the consolidation will give these
churches a travelling president, which is
equivalent to a resident bishop, and save
much expense that way entailed hereto
tore by the several separate conferences.
