Truck farmers in the Essex county
section say they are getting very
low figure for some of their products.
Tomatoes in the market today brought
twenty to twenty-five cents per SIX
teen quart basket The dry weather
Of the past week has made tomatoes
very plentiful Farmers who raise
quantities of them make very little
profit as the tomatoes after they are
picked. must be sorted and all the
soil wiped off This takes consider
able time
Cabbage is also bringing very low
figure. For a week cabbage has been
selling for as low as twenty-five cents
per barrel, and at that rate 1t does
not pay farmers to raise 1t. rms
vegetable also takes up q lot of the
farmers time. The plants first have
to be set out in hot beds and then
transferred to the fields. The ground
must be cultivated almost constantly
while it is forming into heads, after
which it must be cut and the large
leaves trimmed off. Rather than
bother with cabbage at the low rate
| it is bringing, farmers are feeding 1t
to their cattle or allowing it to go
back into the soil as fertilizer.

GIVEN
SHARP REBUKE |
BY KEARNY|TES
Entire Wittpenn Ticket In
dorsed by County Commit
tee Members.

Congressman Eugene f. kinkeas
and the Hudson county ticket he
framed up in the grillroom of a Mon
mouth county hotel were given q
stern rebuke by Kearny members of
the Hudson County Democratic Com
mittee at a meeting last night at the
headquarters of the Kearny Demo
cratic Club, Arlington. The entire
Wittpenn ticket was unanimously In
dorsed by the ten members present.
Only two county committeeman
from Kearny were absent from the
session. They are John Durkin and
John Quinn. Enoch jacobson. score
tary of the Democratic Club, and I.
prominent member Of the county com
mlttee, scored Kinkead for his failure.
to give West Hudson some consider
alton in the matter of selection of
candidates for the Board of Free
holders.
1T would be a calamity to the tax
payers of the three towns If they did
not get representation in the Board Of
Freeholders," declared Mr.. Jacobson.
A resolution setting forth this fact
and further declaring that the MEM
bers of the committee will do their
utmost to effect the defeat of the Kin
kead ticket from top to bottom, was
unanimously passed.
On the Wittpenn ticket Freebooter
George Caparn, of Harrison, is a can
didate for the Democratic nomination.
1t is generally believed he will be ac-
corded a big vote in the West Hudson
towns. The committeeman will do
their utmost to secure votes for Emil
Groth for sheriff. Groth is one of the
opponents of Kinkead for the Demo-
cratic nomination.
Mayor Cornelius A. McGlennon, of
East Newark, Wittpenn choice for
congressional honors, was also IN
dorsed by the committeeman. John
Prout was Endorsed for county super
visor. Other Endorsements were as
follows: County register, Hugh
O'Mara; county clerk, James Meow
ern; freeholders, James Boylan, John
Meehan, George Caparn. The entire
assembly ticket, on which the name
of Dennis Dunn, jr., of Kearny, ap-
pears, will be supported by the
Kearny committeeman.
Edward Bannigan presided at the
meeting. There was no discord, as
the committeeman present had decid-
ed TO man TO register sap at
Klnkead for his failure to consider
West Hudson. The action of the
committee will have a serious effect
on Kinkead's candidacy so far as
vote getting is concerned in Kearny,
where the committeeman are in con-
troll. Heretofore Kinkead polled a
heavy vote in Kearny, a Republican
stronghold, but last nights action
will result undoubtedly in a big loss
of votes for him.
