both sides, with the possible development Of the mouths of the Hack
ensack and Passaic Rivers, the spot where, for commercial reasons,
the future development of the Port of New York must be looked for,
the writer feels that at least a twenty-five foot channel should be
opened through the Arthur Kills and Staten Island Sound, both to
develop the immense water front lying on the Jersey side as we'll as
on the Staten Island side, and to form another channel for reaching
the growing industries that are sprnging up along the water front
of Newark Bay and its connectons-the rivers above mentioned.
This great waterfront when finally developed will, to my mind,
cause a growth that will eventually make the territory surrounding
it, the great manufacturing center not only of the State of New Jersey
but of the United States. Having a deep waterfront along the North
River, New York Bay shore and the Kills to Perth Amboy, with a
lesser depth of water in Newark Bay and the two rivers; with rail
road connections possible to all points adjacent thereto, through which
the most economical freight handling can be developed, this spot to
my mind is to become the locality where raw material from abroad
will be manufactured for the interior of the country, and the raw
material of our own country will be manufactured and shipped abroad.
With the warehouses and manufacturing establishments that can be
located near this waterfront, and with it's unlimited labor market, and
the great concentration of people in the vicinity, the Eghterage of
fuel and materials such as now exist in the City of New York and
Brooklyn can be avoided. Where there are a number of cities divided
today by purely imaginary lines, and the waste lands in their vicinity
are fast becoming occupied to become eventually one immense city,
in effect if not in municipal organization, the only thing lacking in
their development is a proper appreciation OF their waterfronts and
lack of piers and channels to reach them.
All this can easily and economically be made effective by the
construction of another channel of sufficient depth to handle
large ocean-going ships. With such facilities provided, there
Perth Amboy evening news., 1913-01-09

is no question of the growth of the communities above men
toned. In fact, at the moment some very large industries are
seriously considering the question of developing this waterfront by
private means.
The one thing that has held back the growth of the New Jersey
shore has been the fact that the shore lines were largely submerged
with very shallow water in front of them, whereas the shores of
Long ISLAND, notably the Brooklyn waterfront, were very easily de-
veloped, the same conditions prevailing with the shore front of Man
haitian Island. For this, and for no other reason, the great develop
ment of New York and Brooklyn has been brought about. Today
their shores are largely congested, and it is impossible to carry on
the commerce OF the port without enlarged facilities. Where can
these facilities be better afforded than at the temini of the great
railroads.
AS an economical condition, it is impossible for manufacturers
to locate in New York, where a large volume of material must be
handled. The fact that their goods must be lghtered to an over
crowded waterfront and then trucked by horse and motor vehicles
to the manufacturing point, and, when made into finished goods, car
rid back to the railroads on the New Jersey shore in the same way,
and shipped to the interior of the country, is an important economical
condition. This is largely what is being done today, and it keeps
away from the port of New York the manufacturing of large bulk
material. This condition could be greatly improved and the cost of
living ultimately reduced by manufacturing in an economical man
ner, along the New Jersey shore, close to rail and water transporta-
ton. The first step in this direction should be the opening of a
channel of sufficient depth and width to handle the growing and
important commerce of the port, and in such a way that manufacture
ers will be induced to locate near it for the economic reasons above
given.

HOWto ExpandtheD Docking Facilities of New York

The cause of deepening the channels through the Kill Won Kull
and Arthur Kills, to a depth of twenty-five feet is the cause Of the
great Port of New York. A glance at the map shows that the water
frontage of Manhattan Island (along the North and East Rivers and
along the Long Island Shore from Wards Island to Bay Ridge and
the docking facilities of the Port, as they at present exist, have been
pretty completely used up. The problem of extending this frontage
for docking purposes must therefore concern itself with the western
shore of the Hudson River, with fringes of Staten Island, and the
great inward waters of Newark Bay which receives the waters of
the Passaic and 'Hackensack Rivers. Along these shores alone can
that extension be looked for which commerce is pressing upon the
Port of New York, and in a large degree the frontage in question
answers to the demands most likely to be Immediately made upon
it. This is so particularly in the case of manufacturing industries
and notably in the case of industries whose raw materials come from
abroad. Manufactured products could be shipped from the doors of
the factories over the entire country, without any further water haul
age, since direct connection can be made with all the railroads north,
west and south. With a twenty-five foot channel along the western
and northern sides of Staten Island, as proposed, regular oceangoing
steamers could pass direct to their docks and deliver their cargoes
at the doors of the manufacturers. The question of water facilities
in the Port of New York is one of the Invest Of the day, and presses
urgently for a solution. can conceive of no greater aid to the
desired development than the deepening of these two channels-kl
won Kul and the Arthur Kills. ~~+.
The deepening of Newark Bay should follow Immediately with a
thirty foot channel along the extreme length of its east side as well
as its west. .H"
The waterfront along the New Jersey shore from Fort Lee to
Perth Amboy is largely in an undeveloped condition, and when con-
sdered in conjunction with the long water front of Newark Bay, on

TEACHING FRUIT GROWERS IN
GERMANY.

Instruction by ~itinerant teachers
Is a feature of German agricultural
ed ucation, especially In fruit growing
according to information received at
the United States Bureau of Educa-
tiop through consular advices. The
work Is similar to the agricultural
extension work carried on In some
sections Of the United States, but
shows several interesting local Diff
ferences.
The school for wine and fruit
growing at Kreuznach sends its in
structors over the entire district OF
200 villages. The plan is found to
be excellent not only for the farmers
who receive the direct benefit but for
the teachers themselves, who arc
enabled to keep in close touch with
the practical side of their work. This
instruction is furnished entirely
without charge.
The horticultural school at OPP
penheim, besides giving instruction
by lectures and furnishing practical
aid to the farmers, hos introduced
