Especial Trenton Correspondence
Trenton.-"New Jersey as a farm
ing State has been overlooked by the
immigrant, and is not appreciated as
it should be by our citizens" declares
Franklin Dye, state secretary Of agri-
culture. "The fact that we have more
than 100000 acres of land s-..Il I'M
touched by the pillow is evidence Of
the first statement, and, secondly, we
have not advertised our State as a
leading farming and market garden
State. T~erritorially, New Jersey is
not large, so that her aggregate crop
yields seem small compared with
a much larger area, but when it
comes to yield per acre and per man
engaged, this State is in the first
rank.
"All farm property in New Jersey
amounts to 1855, 600, 900. The annual
yield of the States 33,487 farms has
been increasing from year to year.
Our diary animals have a value Of
$~12,000,000. In poultry products New
Jersey stands in the front rank Of
progress, having a value exceeding
$4,000, 900.
"For diversity OF soils and products
the State is unexcelled, all products
Indigenous to this latitude being
successfully grown here. Alfalfa, the
coming crop for our entire State, is
increasing in acreage each year, the
sandy soils producing it lu~xuriantly.
And it might be said that New Jer-
sey offers an inviting field for up-to-
date farmers with it's many attrac-
lions.
"The great consuming population
within the State and upon its borders
must also be taken into considera-
ton. Seaside resorts from Sandy
Hook on the north to Cape May on
the south, with their hundreds of
thousands of summer and winter
%boarders; New York City, Jersey
City, Newark and other cities on the
north, with Philadelphia on the south,
with State road and railroad trans
p~ortation not found in any other ter
ritory of equal size, give the produc-
ers of farm products an unusual op-
portunity for marketing what they
produce"

Trenton Hazard is High.

The first inspection by the engineers
Of the National Board of Fire Under
writer's on the fire fighting facilities
of Trenton, since 1907 has been fin
ished. 1t is reported that the potential
confagration hazard in the congested
value district is high on account of
weak construction. Since the last in
vestigation, however, private fire pro-
lection has materially increased and
ly the fire department has been streng-
thened. The water supply, however,
is still deficient and dependence is
placed mainly in a single main. Out
side the district severe individual and
group fires are pronounced probable
but the hazard of a sweeping fire is
slight.
1t is noted that the source of water
supply is ample and reliable, but faults
In the distribution system and low
pressure are causes of deficiency. The
building laws are inadequate. New
building construction is pronounced
good in~combustible roof coverings are
required throughout the city. Local
conditions as to inflamables, and ex-
p~losives are reported generally fair as
to rubbish and dry cleaning establish
ments. There is no electrical supervi-
sion by the municipality. Condition
of new work is said to be good and of
old work poor. E~lectrolytic action is
reported to be present, but it's extent
is unknown. Overhead wire obstruc-
ton exists at a number of points.
Trenton has a population of 107, 900,
has narrow streets, occasionally Sc
we're winter temperatures and the av-
erage loss per fire according to the
records are shown to be moderate
while the loss per capita and the num-
Der of fires are low.

Deputies and Senators-Public
necessity, admitted by the Cham
Der of Deputies, by the Senate
and the Supreme Court, called me
to the Supreme Magistracy of the
Republic. Later, when in this
same hall l had the honor of ad-
dressing you in compliance with
the constitutional precept, l prom
1sed at all costs to bring about
peace.
Seventeen months have pass
ed, and In that brief period of
time | have formed an army with
which to carry out that solemn
promise. You all know the inn
mens difficulties which my Gov
eminent has encountered, owing
to a scarcity of funds, as we'll as
to the manifest and decided pro-
lection which a great Power of
this continent has afforded to the
rebeis-so much so that when the
revolution had been broken up,
seeing that Its chief leaders were
and continue to be divided, the
Power In question sought a pre-
text to Intervene directly In the
conflict, and the result Of this
was the outrage committed at
Vera Cruz by the American fleet.
Success was had, as you know,
in adjusting h%onorably. through
our delegates at Niagara Falls,
the petty Tampico incident, but
the revolution continued, with
the support Of whom we all
know.
Issues Challenge to Wilson.
"Yet, after the highly patriotic
work achieved by our delegates
at Niagara Falls, there are still
some who say that /, come what
may, seek nay personal interest
and not that of the Republic. And
as l need to rebut this allegation
with facts, / tender my formal
resignation of the Presidency Of
the Republic.
"The National Congress must
know that the Republic, through
Its Government, has labored in
entire good faith, and with the
fullest energy, having succeeded
in doing away with the party
which in the United States calls
itself Democratic, and having
shown how the right should be
defended.
ITO be more explicit, | will say
that the action of the Government
Of the Republic during Its short
life has dealt death blows to an
unjust Power. Later on stronger
