Regular shipments will be made

With the market price raging

dance of room for plant food.
1t must be remembered that
plant roots first seek water and
they will go to it if they have
strength, hence the farmer
should exert every effort to en-
!courage their early develop
Iment.
! In order to make this subject
! plain, let US start with a field of
ripe grain. The grain shades
: the ground, and in a measure
prevents the broiling sun from
drawing away moisture. Mois-
ture is the elixire Of plant life,
and every particle possible must
be saved. How can this be ac-
complished? You know that
the surface is full Of cracks, you
know that as soon as the grain is
cut every stalk is an escape CHM
ney. You know that moisture
will escape by both cracks and
stems. What should be done?
The answer is easy. Stop up
the leaks. Follow the binder
with a disc harrow. That imple-
ment forms a mulch than effect
ually closes up the little open
ings, and at the same time works
into the soil the stubble. You
have accomplished three very i'm
portant things. First, you have
checked the escape Of the mois-
ture; second, the surface is made
mellow, an essential condition
in the event of rains; third, you
have worked the stubble into the
seed-bed so that when the plow
turns the furroW slice the trash
will not act as an insulation tc
prevent capillary attraction.
The next step is blowing.
The sooner the ground is
plowed after harvest the bet
ter, provided that the pillow is
followed with implements cal
culated to place the soil in a con-
dition to store and conserve mois-
ture. If the ground is plowed
and left loose and lumpy, it
would be better not to pillow it at
all until seeding time, unless the
blowing is done late in the fall.
, The harrow, disc or packer
should follow the pillow if the
blowing is done at any time other
than just before winter sets in.
If the ground is lumpy and much
trash EXISTS, the disc gives the
best results. If the soil is we'll
pulverized, narrowing is suf-
ticient. If the ground is loose

HINTS ON R
LAND FARMING

Dry land farming is a name Civ
en- to tilling the land in sections of
the country where the annual
rainfall is scant. The principles
involve intensive cultivation and
management, with a view of
storing water in the deeper sub
soils and subsequently preventing
needless waste by evaporation.
The principles, however, ap-
piled to dry land farming are ap-
plicable to any section Of the u
nited States, and when all farm
ers adopt the same thorough
methods of tillage that the dry
Land farmers are obliged to, if
they are all successful, the in
crease in production will be far
greater than the increase in our
population. What is termed as
dry land will not tolerate care
less work or neglect. All opera
tons from the seed-bed to the
harvest are interdependent, and
the harvest will correspond
to the weakest step in the sew
oral operations.
An improperly made seed-bed
is like a shifting sand foundation
for a house. The seed-bed is the
foundation for the crop. Unjust
be so made that it will readily
receive rainfalls, be they light or
heavy. Primarily it must be
deep and mellow. A deep, mel
low seed-bed acts as a temporary
reservoir to receive and hold
water until it percolates into the
deeper subsoils. If it is shallow,
q rainfall Of two or three inches
during one shower will not be
absorbed, but as soon as the
hardpan is reached the surplus
will run away.
A deep seed-bed insures a rap
id and strong development of
young roots with strength to
penetrate deep. A shallow seed
bed means delicate roots which
seek the course Of least resis-
lance in the loose surface soils.
That statement can be varihed
by any farmer who will take the
trouble to make a careful invest
igation. A deep seed-bed means
a good ventilation and an album

and lumpy, a sub-surface packer
should be used. On light soil, a
corrugated roller firms the sur
face, and at the same time leaves
the soil in little ridges, a desir-
able condition to absorb rains.
In this connection, l desire to
emphasize the necessity of using
the right kind of implements. 1t
must be remembered that through
work can be accomplished only
by having good, suitable tools,
and without them the dry land
farmer will fail. The pillow
should be a keen cutting steel
implement. capable Of turning
8 1-2 or 8 inches. The disc har-
row is indispensable both before
and after blowing. A double
disc is preferable to the single.
A disc is, on account Of the sharp
blades, very searching. ItT.pulv-
erizes and packs the soil uniform
ly from the surface to the bottom
of the furrow.

Supt. ShuIl Reports But 81
principals Meeting.

There are but sixty-four children
in this city who are three or more
years below the average in their
school work, according to the report
compiled by superintendent of
Schools s. E. Shull and submitted
on Saturday at the quarterly meet
ing of the Supervising Principals
Association, at New Brunswick. Mr..
Shull stated today that Perth Am
boys average can be considered eA-
cellent, considering the cosmopolitan
nature of the population. Reports
on the number of retard pupils were
received from every district at Sat
urday's meeting.
Among the matters of interest dis
cussed was the legislation, as per-
tanning to school conditions, enacted
this year by the state legislature.
There were no radical changes, re-
ports superintendent Shull, who was
a member of the committee on legis-
lation. The question of uniform
geography and spelling courses was
also taken up and debated upon, but
no definite action taken. The prin-
cipals met at the new Lord Sterling
school and enjoyed luncheon at the
Mansion house. The association will
hold it's last meeting of the present
school year on May 25, at Dayton,
and decided to re-convene In Perth
Amboy next fall at the re-opening of
the new school year.

SCOTT NEAR THE
POLE ON JAN. 3
The Terra Nova Arrives at
New Zealand.

London, April 1.-Captain Robert f
Scotts ship, the Terra Nova, In which
be set out to reach the south pole, ar
rived at Akros, New Zealand, at 0:20
a. m today, according to Central
News dispatch published In the Daily
Nah.
She did not bring Captain Scott or
any members OF the expedition, but
brought>>a brief message from the ex-
plorer, sent tc the base at McMurdo
sound, to the effect that he would con-
tinue another winter in the antarctic
to continue and complete his work.
Apart from this uershge, tne latest
received from Captain Scott at the base
was that, or Jan. 8 he was $50 miles
from the south pole and advancing.
Expedition Well Equipped.
Captain Scott, The best equipped and
most experienced Of antarctic adven-
turers, set out on June /, 1910, from
London to plant the English hag at the
bottom Of the world. He had In mind
not merely the attainment of the south
pole, but the possibility Of continuing
his journey and emerging in Weddell
sea, possibly within q few hundred
miles of Cape Horn.
Captain Scott's general plan Of ap-
proach to the south pole was to follow
the route taken by Shackleton in 1908
He divided his journey into three
stages He planned first of all to cross
the ice barrier which bars the way to
the Great glacier This barrier is be-
tween 200 and 800 feet high and was
thrown up, In the opinion of scientists,
by ice from around the south pole
crushing through the passage between
Victoria land and King Edward VII
land There is distance of Ala miles
between the barrier and the foot OF
the Great glacier The second stage
was over the glacier to the high plateau
on which 1t had been definitely ascer.
tanned the pole was located The gla-
cier, Shackleton found, extended about
ninety-three miles and presented ex-
traordinary difficulties. The third stage
was to be over the plateau to the pole.
