JERSEY WANTS
FARM SETTLERS

New Jersey as farming State has
been overlooked by the immigrant and
is not appreciated as it should be by
our citizens" says the State Secretary
of Agriculture, Franklin Dye, in writ
ing for "The Trenton Fair" the new
publication of the Interstate Fair.
"The fact that we have over 100000
acres of land still untouched by the
plow is evidence Of the first statement.
Second. we have not officially adver-
tised our State as a leading farming
and market garden state. Territorial-
ly New Jersey is not large, so that her
aggregate crop yields seem small COM
pared with States 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 the State
amounts to $255. 100000. The annual
yield of her 33,4S7 farms has been in
creasing from year to year. In 1900
it was $24 4,249,179. In 1918 it amount.
ed to total for all crops of $7O,493,-,
282. This is equivalent to $2,105 per
farm and $27 per acre, not deducting
the cost of production and mainte-
nance.
"The above figures show the pro-
gressive spirit of the New Jersey
farmers, fruit growers and market
gardeners. Their aim is for larger
yields per acre from year to year, a
larger return for money and labor ex-
pended, a higher standard. in all farm
ing affairs. To this end, study, obser-
vation and experimentation are the
order.
Our dairy animals have value
of $12,OOO,OO0. Horses exceed $4,000
OO00. Mules, sheep and swine exceed
SO, 100000.
I'm poultry and poultry products,
New Jersey stands in the front of
progress, having a value exceeding
s., 900, 900.
For diversity OF soils and products
the State is unexcelled, all products
indigenous to this latitude are suc-
cessfully grown here. New Jersey
sweet potatoes have no superior and
her peaches and other fruits have a
beauty and flavor not found in the
Pacific State products. Our cranber-
Bridgeton pioneer., 1914-07-23

r1es have an international reputation.
In general farm crops our yield per
acres compares to our advantage with
the strictly grain-growing States. AL.
falfa, the coming crop for our entire
State, is increasing in acreage every
year. Our lighter or sandy soils pro-
duce it luxuriantly. This opens the
way for the support of dairy animals
and other stock in the new lands of
South Jersey.
"In connection with the above state
ments, should be considered the great
consuming populations within and adj
joining our borders. 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, Jer-
sey City, Newark and other cities in
the north, with Philadelphia on the
south, with state road and railroad
transportation not found in any other
terrltory OF equal size, give the pro-
ducers of farm crops an unusual op-
portunity for marketing what they
produce. We invite progressive farm
ers from other States to locate with
US. Considering the low price of our
farming lands and the advantages
named above, New Jersey presents a
very inviting field for up-to-date
farmers

CYCLE, DOG and MAN

There was some little excitement at
the corner of Irving Avenue and Pearl
streets last night when a motor cy-
lclist, north bound on the street, en-
countered q dog who contested the
right OF way. So strong was the dogs
protest registered that dog, man and
motorcycle were somewhat tangled up
for few minutes. A crowd collected,
but after brushing off the dust, the
man slowly pushed his vehicle north
ward and the dog trotted off in the OPP
posite direction, head in the air and
tail wagging seemingly satisfied that
he had fully demonstrated his dislike
for that particular style of conveyance.

President Lewis A. Johnson called
the last July meeting of City Council
to order shortly after o'clock, each
of the seven members being present
excepting Mr.. Whipple.
With the reading of the minutes of
the last session and the approval of
the same, Council proceeded to the
serious business of the evening.
Immediately Council found itself
confronted with a perplexing problem.
John 7. Marks asked for an extension
of 200 feet of water main on New
street. He was explained that he de-
sired the water for filtration purposes.
Commissioner of Public Works Fred
rick said that the water supply was
lower now than since he has been in
charge of the department This was
owing to a lack of filter capacity to
meet the great demands for water. a
Mr.. Evans thought it was time to
increase the filter capacity and give
the people all the water they wanted.
Mr. Evans then moved that the ap-
Iplication of Mr.. Marks be granted.
The vote was taken and President
johnson declared the motion was car
sried.
The reports of the Commissioners
were presented and read. That of
Commissioner of Public Works Fred
rick will be printed in the Pioneer to-
morrow in full.
Commissioner of Public Safety Geo.
H. Hughes made very brief report
in which he said there were 10 police
calls. Three arrests for breaking and
entering. six arrests for plain drunk
and one arrest for drunk and disorder
ly.
There was nothing OF consequence
reported for the fire department.
The Commissioner says: II have had
considerable trouble to find a man for
dog catcher, but have located one that
-
1 think will do the work. He goes to
work tomorrow "wednesday morning.
The customary canvass will be started
the first of next week"
In his report the Commissioner fur
ther says: Il would also call your at
tention to Ordinance No. IL, which
does not provide penalty for violation.
have referred the matter to tn Cor
poration Counsel. who will make the
necessary corrections, and present to
you for your consideration"
Walter M. Sharp presented the "C.ty
Engineers" report. showing the details
of the work he is doing for the city
and for which he is receiving no COM
pensation.
Overseer of the Poor Charles d.
Carney in his report called attention
to the fact that the $1,000 appropria-
tion for the poor sent to the Bridgeton
Hospital was exhausted, but he said
he might be called upon under the poor
law to furnish hospital relief to in
digents. Mr.. Carney also said in his
report that to bury INDECENT decease
persons in the County Aims House
grounds necessitated a $5 marker.
Attention was directed that Com
missioner Hughes. on Monday night
wasted thousands of gallons of water
with the fire department practicing
with the engine connected with plug.
Commissioner of Public Works Fred
rick said that he had notified the Pub
lie Safety department of the shortage
of water before the fire department
practice was made.
Commissioner Fredrick said that
much water was being wasted with
lawn hose. many of them being al
lowed to run all night. Commissioner
