FARMERS PLANT PEAS.

Several of the farmers in the vicinity
of Milford have been busy planting their
peas for this season. While the big
majority of the farmers have not yet
been able to get their peas in the ground,
the soil is now being plowed and if no
unforeseen weather should bother them
the pea crop will be largely planted be-
fore this time next week. The farmers
in this section seem to be afraid of the
pea crop and as a result are not planting
as large an acreage of that commodity
as they did last season.

AN EARLY EASTER.

Easter will come unusually early this
year. 1t falls on March 23rd. Hardly
any one now living, even babes in arms,
will see 1t come so early again. Eater
Sunday is regulated by the time the
moon is full after the days and nights
are equal. The sun crosses the line on
March 2lst, and Easter comes on the
first Sunday after the first full moon
after the days and nights are equal. In
1913 the moon is full the day after the
days and nights are equal, and the next
day is Sunday, which brings Easter on
the 23rd of the month. If the moon
should happen to be full on the day pre-
viOus to that on which the days and
nights are equal, it will not be full again
for twenty-eight days, and that would
make Easter Sunday come quite late in
April, especially should the moon in such
a case be full on Monday. Easter could
not be until the Sunday following, and
in such a case it could come as late as
April 26th. 1t came on this very late
date something like thirty years ago,
and may not do so again for number
o years. 1t has been a saving among
men who were close observers that we
need not expect much spring weather
until after Easter Sunday. If the old
saying is true, in 1913 we shall have
very early spring. Old residents who
have watched such matters closely tell
US that when Easter is very early the
season is not a very productive one.
They say frosts and heavy rains, as well
as extreme dry weather, often prevent
the growing of large crops. Many OBJ
serving farmers say they would rather
see an Easter about the middle of April

SENT BRICKS BY MAIL.

At the present time there is a Clay
Products Exposition being held in Chi
cago, and one of the novelties as part
of it. is brick building, built from bricks
sent by parcels post, one from each
brick yard in the United States, of
which there are over 5000. Charles
p. Armour & Co., of Houston, and the
Milford Brick Company, of Milford,
have sent bricks to be Incorporated in
this building. The idea was originated
to test the merits of the Parcel Post
system it is certainly a novel one. A
record is kept of each brick from the
time it was sent by mail, until it is de-
livered at Chicago. in order to see how
speedily Uncle Sam can deliver brick
house by mail.

GREENSBORO SAILS.

The Steamer Greensboro, owned by

sailed from her wharf here on Monday

few season the truck growers of New
Jersey have been experimenting in the
use of fertilizers from all over the
country. and as a result have hit upon
that manufactured at Milford as=the
best adapted to their use. The ship

BENNETT IS A LEGAL MEMBER.

The contest of the seat of Representa-
tive Bennett from the First District
of Sussex County, by Mr.. DickersOn,
ended by the House recounting the
ballots for the First Voting District of
this election district, and finding that
he had gained four addiOnal votes from
what the board of canvass gave him last
November. This action on part of the
Democratic members of the legislature
establishes a dangerous precedent, and
one which may come to plague them in
the future.
