Crowded Trolley
Car Jumps Rails

Rounding what is. probably the most
dangerous curve in West Hudson,
a Kearny line car loaded with pas
sengers, jumped the tracks on Kearny
avenue, just south of Rose street.
Kearny, today. The car ploughed
over the street pavement for a dis
lance of about thirty-five feet before
it finally brought up against a tele-
graph pole
The pole was moved several inches
out of place and the cross-arrns atop
the pole were twisted A small tree
was also uprooted. So far as could
be learned no one in the car was in
jured Traffic was delayed for almost
an hour.
The noise caused by the crash could
be heard for some distance. The
place where the accident occurred Is
on a grade. Some of the motormer
take advantage Of the grade 70 make
up time, and on many occasions ne
elect shutting off the power before
reaching the curve.

Has il on the Run

Some lev 141i~ ago l.. M.
Maxcy Of this CITY dntci ined
to try u little experiment with
quack grass ard clover to see
which could survive and he has
about convinced those who have
been watching his experiment
that the clover will route the
quack grass if it is given bat
half a chance.
Mr.. Maxcy has several lots
next to the Bayfield, county Bank
building in this city which were
used for a time for garden pur-
poses. Green manure was used
for fertilizing and the lots be-
came covered with the noted
quack grass. 1t was here that
Mr.. Maxcy decided to try out
his experiment. that of letting
the clover work out it's own
salvation in completion with
luack grass and he has about
convinced all who have beer
Watching his experiment that
the clover is going to win out.
Each year when the quack
grass blossoms it is cut to pre-
vent it from going into seed and
the second crop of clover comes
dong later and the winds scat
ter the seeds about the lots.
Through this method the clover
nas been gaining stronger
foot hold each season and this
year when the crop was cut
little quack grass was to be seen
On the place, except along the
corners of the l)t where a few
sc ttering punches Of quack
grass went to seed.
Mr.. Maxcy says the quack
grass is a blessing in disguise.
1t is the means of making the
farmer work to keep it out of
his fields and in doing this his
lands get thorough cultivation
which means larger returns in
crops.

FOR IMPROVED POTATOES.

We Should Develop Better varieties,
Says the Department OF Agricuiture.
American progress in the develop
ment of improved varieties OF pota
toes has not been satisfactory as COM
pared with the progress of leading Eu-
ropean countries is the statement of
the bureau of plant industry OF the
department of agriculture
The best European varieties possess
a better flavor, color and texture par
ticularly for boiling and trying, but
these do not succeed when introduced
into the United States. II private
growers would engage in this work as
they have In Great Britain, Germany
and Austria, they would find IL fas-
cinating industry and would undoubt-
eddy make notable achievements.
In America we have much to accom-
plish in breeding potato with great
er starch content. Our potatoes are
now lower than the German varieties
by from 4 to per cent.
Our climatic conditions in America
are so diverse that we need varieties
Of potatoes adapted to special locaH-
ties. Particularly do we need heat
resistant strain that can more sue
cessfully withstand the high summer
temperatures. Disease resistance Is
another quality that has been bred
into certain foreign sorts, but is so
lacking in ours that we have to quar-
antine absolutely certain foreign types
that might bring disease with them.
The breeding of potatoes for differ
ent kinds of cooking might even be
found profitable. A variety specially
suited for baking is needed, another
for frying; close textured tuber is
In some demand for salads. The house
wife today finds it necessary to waste
much good material in preparing her
potatoes for the table. particularly the
irregular, deep eyed sorts
The use Of commercial fertilizers
universal in Germany is unknown in
our western potato districts. Certain
of our districts in Maine, New York
and the Atlantic trucking belt have
already found it to their profit to use

CROPS DURING 1919.

Report Of Secretary of AgricultuI
Shows That They Have Fallen Off,
Very brief space is allotted this yc:
to a discussion of the crops In The
United States in the report Of the Sec
rotary of agriculture. Special empha
sis is laid on the fact that the figures
quoted are estimates, and 1t Is pointed
out that this fact should be constantly
kept In mind From the estimates at
hand 1t appears that the production
of crops I'm 1913 was materially below
the average. the yield per acre of all
crops combined being smaller than In
any year I'm the past decade with the
exception of 1911. The corn crop. the
most valuable product of this country.
according to the estimates. fell below
2,5OO,OOO.O0O bushels, which is smaller
than any crop since 1908. Wheat pro-
duction, with an estimated total Of
753.0OO000 bushels. is the largest ever
recorded In this country. This crop
was matured before the drought be-
came effective. Brief mention is made
as TO crop conditions throughout the
world From the estimates 1t appears
that there were increased areas sOwn
to wheat. oats. barley. rye and corn
and that the wheat acreage has prob
ably yielded record outturn. Barley,
oats and rye are bountiful crops, but
corn will probably give the poorest re-
suit in twenty years.
