MONMOUTH COUNTY
RICH IN POTATOES
Big Crops Of All Kinds Reported
on Flourishing New Jer-
sey Farms.

Red Bank, n. J., Oct ll.-Potatoes
valued at more than 100000 have
been shipped from Monmouth County
so far this year. The value OF othe
crops is estimated at $4,000 900. All
have been larger and more valuable
than ever before
The enormous output maintains for
another year Monmouth's reputation as
the second greatest agricultural county
in the United States. Il is surpassed
only by Lancaster County, Penn.
When It is considered that from the
little station at Bradevelt about 225.-
900 barrels OF potatoes have been
shipped this year, some idea of the
immensely of the country's agricultural
industry can be obtained.
The average whole sale price for DO
tatoes throughout the county this sea
son has been 81 80 barrel. They are
now being sold IN the retail markets A.
from 81 90 to SO barrel. and bid fair
TO retail at from 81 10 So before the
win:er is over. Many Of the raisers
arc storing their potatoes in snticipa-
ton of receiving better prices
The output Of agricultural products
does not stop with potatoes, but in
cludes corn. apples, peaches and all
kinds Of garden truck. More than ffty
carloads OF early apples have been
shipped so far from the Bradevelt sta.
ton this season. The peach crop was
bigger and more valuable this year
than ever before.

GREAT INCREASE
IN SUGAR IMPORTS
Thousands of Tons Brought
Here from Hawaii and
the Philippines.

The high price OF sugar has resulted
in large imports OF the staple from the
Philippines and Hawaii. In the last
two months approximately $4,000 tons
have been received at the Bush Ter
minal, in Brooklyn. While the theory
has been advanced that shippers
thought it safer TO send their sugar
here than abroad, and risk having i.
seized as contraband, it is generally
believed that the high price in the
United States was the magnet.
According to the records of the Bush
Terminal Company. the number of sep
arate packages handled on its piers in
Brooklyn in August, 1913. was $4,000.
In August this year it was 566.000
This increase Of practically 100000
packages was due almost entirely to
mat sugar from Hawaii and the Philip
pines. The sugar is wrapped in straw
mats. each one Of which is counted as
separate package. There are ap-
proximately 81 mats to TIE ton, so this
makes $4,000 tons during August, and
this rate has continued during Sep
TENDER.
I'VE have not received much mat
sugar since 1911 said ono of the off
cals, but with the outbreak of the
var II began flowing in here by the
thousands OF tons. Our business is
now reassuming normal proportions
When war began our bonded ware
houses we're almost emptied Of goods
because Of the widespread fear OF =
general advance in prices. but they are
now filling up again. OF course, the
boats Of the Austro-American Steam
ship Company, which rents our Pier Z,
are tied up, but the six other piers are
fairly active.
There is no great change as yet in
the products which we are shipping
We have seen nothing Of the unusual
orders reported in the newspapers,
such as the $4,000 wooden saddle
trees from st. 10, Mich; the $4,000
miles Of barbed wire 70 make entangle-
ments, armored automobiles and motor
trucks, or the clocks which can no
longer be supplied by Germany, but
We presume that it is little early for
those"

SOUTHERN RAILWAY
REDUCES SALARIES
Cuts Begin at 20 Per Cent on
Presidents Pay and Are Grad
uated Down to 2 Per Cent.

Washington, Oct. 1i.-Heading the
list wit 20 per cent reduction Of his
own salary, President Fairfax Harri-
son, OF the Southern Railway, has be
gun a Ietrcnchment plan which is
designed to affect equally all officers
and interests in the corporation.
Graduated reductions of all salaries
above $4,000 a year ard reduction Of
the divident Of the preferred stock
holders from TO ~ per cent, pay
able in deferred scrip, are included in
the plan.
president Harrison has deemed it
only fair the railroad statement says,
that officers OF the company should
share the sacrifice" Curtailment was
made necessary, it adds, By the Cur
rent depression of business" and
brought q consequent reduction in
the opportunity of many hundreds of
employees to earn the wages TO which
they have been accustomed"
Under the plsn, salaries Of S2,700
are reduced per cent and the state
ment declares all officers affected "sc-
cepted the situation with loyal appre-
citation Of the necessity in spirit Of
mutual sacrifice"

STATE HOSPITALS
WASTE REDUCED
Business Methods Enable
Commission to Keep
Within Appropriation.

Albany, Oct. 1.-THE report Of the
State Hospital Commission for the is-
cal year ended September 80, 1914,
states that modern business methods
recently introduced in purchasing and
handling supplies have practically
eliminated waste in the state hospitals.
Nearly 100000 are annually
needed for the care of the $4,000 pa
tents maintained under the supervi-
sion Of the Hospital Commission IN
fourteen state institutions. The re-
suits Of the strict economy of the
present administration are shown oy
the low per capita cost OF mainte-
nance. For the first time in the his
tory of the state hospitals deficiency
will be avoided at the close Of the
fiscal year. Heretofore every legislst-
ure has been asked TO make special
appropriations TO supplement the reg
uar allowance. b. strict supervision
and thorough inspection the Hospital
Commission has kept its expenditures
within the amount Of the regular sp-
preparation.
The greatest single saving has been
accomplished in the purchase of fuel:
Heretofore each hospital bought coal
individually. The Governor suggested
Joint purchase Of coal for all state
institutions and at the same time
asked the Hospital Commission TO buy
on the basis OF heat units. The hos
pitfalls had expended 100000 for fuel
and light during the previous year.
The Governors recommendation was
needed and a saving OF 100000 IN
cost Of coal was the result.
An important branch of the depart
rient is the Bureau of Deportation,
which has authority 10 return alien
insane or nonresident patients 70 their
native states and countries. This bu-
reau has undergone a radical change.
with the result that more people have
been deported recently at a smaller
expense than heretofore. Nearly
third Of those committed to New
York's hospitals for the insane are
citizens of foreign countries. More
than a third Of the money spent in
the maintenance Of New York's hos
pitfalls for the insane is devoted TO the
care Of aliens.
Statistics compiled last year show
that in 1912 there were 81 GA insane
inmates of New York's hospitals. OF
these, 1928 were foreign born. Only
A.4s7 Of the foreign born had been
raturalized, so that 9,24l, or 29.2 per
