DURANGO MAN ACCIDENT SHOT

Last evening Martin Miller, while
explaining the mechanism of Al
caliber revolver to his brother, John
Martin, caused an explosion of the
cartridge accidentally. The bullet
took effect by striking John Martin
in the abdomen. 1t lodged in the
thigh.
John Martin is young man about
25 years old and has been in the city
but few weeks and has been en-
ployed at the smelter. Z
Drs. Lackey and Robbins were sum-
moned to the house where the acci-
dent happened. The Goodman-DeLa-
ney ambulance was summoned to con-
vey the unfortunate man to the Mer-
cy hospital.
The doctors found that the wound
was not necessarily fatal although
very serious. 1t was decided to make
| no extraction of the bullet at the
time and that Martin will perhaps re-
cover.
Marshall Fassbinder made inquiries
into the facts in the case and came
to the conclusion that it was purely
! an accident and it is probable that nc
arrest will b. made.

A MINIATURE CRANBERRY BOG.

One of the leading products of New
Jersey is cranberries. Of the $4,000
acres of the United States, over 5000
are located in New Jersey, and every
year the acreage is increasing. One
of the unique features of the New
Jersey Exhibit at the American Land
and Irrigation Show at the list Regl-
ment Armory, New York, is a mlnla-
ture cranberry bog. The site OF most
successful cranberry bogs is general
ly located where the white cedar
swamp has naturally grown up, and
cranberries thrive where there is an
abundance of water and light san
DIV soil, and thus the surroundings of
the miniature bog at the New Jersey
Exhibit have been made up IN way
to represent what may be seen in the
Southern counties of New Jersey
Atlantic, Burlington, Camden and
Gloucester Being made realistic by
the employment Of small white cedars
and few pines, laurel, trailing vines,
and MOSES, this truly represents the
cranberry district in New Jersey.
Carrying out the garden idea OF
having large portion OF the New
Jersey Exhibit consisting of growing
plants, this bog has been prepared to
show a bed of growing berries bear
ing, enclosed by bitches, which in out
Of door bogs serve the purpose Of
draining the bog of water, prior to
picking the berries or working upon
the bog. A bank encloses the bog
for the purpose Of flooding the entire
surface, usually complete submerging
of the vines at regular intervals and
to prevent the ground from freezing
in winter, to control insect pests in
spring and summer, and occasionally
to save crop Of berries from de-
struction by an early freeze.
1t is absolutely essential that a
bog be located near water, as an early
freeze often means entire ruin of a
crop. unless it is possible to flood the
bog at an hours notice and thus save
the ripening fruit from destruction.
All of these features are detailed in
the miniature bog which attracts a
great deal of attention, as thousands
Of people who have never seen cram
berries growing are visiting the
booth and inquiring what that little
exhibit is.

NEW JERSEY WINS
PRIZES AT SHOW

Intensive agriculture seems to be
creeping into New Jersey at rapid
ly increasing rate. This little State
the forty-fifth in size in the United
States, is only beginning to realize
the opportunities which await the til
lers Of the soil, and proof of this fact
may readily be noted at the American
Land and Irrigation Exposition, list
Regiment Armory, New York City
where New Jersey is exhibiting the
products of her lands. The exhibit is
one of the most attractive at the
Show, being artistically arranged, and
the exhibits selected with great care.
Out of the four prizes awarded Sat
urday, New Jersey is the winner of
three; one for the best exhibit of
sweet potatoes, by any State, one for
the best exhibit of corn with the lar
gest yield, open to any farmer of the
United States, and one for the best
lot of twelve buff eggs.
The sweet potatoes winning the
prize were grown in Gloucester and
Cumberland Counties, located in the
Southern part of the State by repre-
sentative farmers. The exhibit was
particularly fine and the competition
keen. w. o. Davis, prominent COM
mission dealer of New York City,
made the award, and stated that the
winning exhibit comprised more vari-
cites and finer quality potatoes than
any of the other contesting exhibits.
The exhibition of eggs is a new
feature at the American Land Show,
largely due to the influence Of Prof.
H. R. Lewis Of the New Jersey Ex-
pertinent Station, who acted as judge.
The prize cup for the best lot of
twelve buff eggs was awarded to
Dearborn & Sharpe, of Blairstown,
New Jersey, prominent breeders and
exhibitors of Single Comb Rhode ISL
and Reds.
The prize cup, a $500 silver cup,
for the best exhibit Of thirty ears Of
corn with largest yield was awarded
to Henry S. Lippincott, of Marlton,
N. j., with honorable mention to the
Hon. E. T. Gill, of Haddonfeld, N. J..
This is great thing for Jersey as
the competition was open to all
States, and there are many States
more predominant than Jersey in corn
production and only goes to show
that corn raised in Jersey is quality
corn.
