LETTER OF COM
 MISSIONER JOHN H. PAGE
Bureau of Mines, Manufactures and Agriculture.-On Burning Stalks. Many Think Stalks are a
 Mere Incumbrance.

Many of us farmers need to study the methods of business men. How wastefuf our methods would appear in comparison! Take for example one of the great packing houses. Scarce ly an ounce of waste is to be seen in that whole vast plant. The offal goes to the soap factory. The blood and bones to the fertilizer works. The hair goes to the upholsterer and the felt manufacturer. The horns -and hoofs go to the comb and button fac tories. Everything is saved.
 Some of us will need this lesson within the next few weeks. We will need it at stalk burning time. To many of us the stalks are mere in- cumbrance. The first thing we think of is the use of the torch. But is this economy? Let us see. An acre of corn. yielding 25 bushels of grain and 1900 pounds of stalks, contains about 39 pounds of nitrogen, IA pounds of phosphoric acid, and 27 pounds of pot ash, worth about S9.95. The grain contains $5.35 of this amount, and the stalks,-the portion we so love to burn--contain $4.50 of it-nearly half. Think of robbing $20.0O land of $4.5O worth of it's plant food every year.
 But let us proceed. An acre of cot ton, producing $50 pounds of lint and seed and 1850 pounds of stems, burrs and leaves, contains about fl pounds of nitrogen, 14 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 32 pounds of potash, worth about $10.50. The lint and seed con tain $4.S0 of this amount, and the stems, burrs and leaves,-the portin we delight to burn-contain S5.70 of it-a little more than half. In other words, if We burn the corn stalks we exhaust the soils fertility nearly twice as fast as we would if we left them to rot in the field; and if we burn the cot ton stalks we exhaust it little more than twice as fast. It might be con- tended, of course, that in burning the stalks, the ashes left would contain the potash, but, as a matter of fact practically all the ashes are blown ol! the field, in most instances, by the high winds of the spring.
 But there is more of the story yet We have said nothing about the hu- mus. The humus that the stalks will make is almost as important as the plant foods that they contain. The soils capacity to absorb and hold moisture is determined largely by the amount of humus it contains. Bac- terial action in the soil and the lorna tion of various highly important chem ical compounds also depend largely upon the presence of humus. Humus is an indispensable constituent of cror producing soils. If we destroy it we shall certainly have to restore it in some other ard more expensive way
 We must quit this ruinous practice of burning stalks. If there is a stalk cutter on the place, put it to work. If

The Bell Telephone Company, having
acquired the Interstate property, is
doing away with the latter as fast as
possible. Connection between Mount
Holly and Moorestown was discontinued
last week. While the company is at
work on different plans. it would not be
amiss if it would look over its poles in
Mount Holly and remove some of them
and replace those that are in a danger
Gus condition by good ones. There are
a number of poles that might easily be
dispensed with, and there are some that
will fall over if not given careful atten-
ton soon.

A few days ago County Clerk knight
sent to Francis Tracey Tobin a notice
that the trial against him for defama-
ton of character would be heard per-
emptorily by the courts of this county
on the 9th of December. This notice
was sent by registered mail with in
structions that it be delivered to Mr..
Tobin personally and that his receipt
for the letter be obtained. Yesterday
the letter was returned to the county
clerk unopened and endorsed by the
Philadelphia post Office authorities
that Mr.. Tobin would not receive it.
What the next step will be remains to
be seen, but Tobin certainly does not
have any intention of coming to New
jersey if he can help it.
