SOUTH JERSEY
REPUBLICANS

The following interesting. at least
news item is sent out to the metro
politan press from Atlantic City:
Atlantic City, N. j., Dec. 11.-A pow
erful coalition of Republican forces in
, South Jersey, to demand recognition
assuming the G. o. P. is to sweep the
State next fall, will be the outgrowth,
leaders predicted here today, of a lin
/ ing up Of I'd District party chiefs be-
hind the gubernatorial candidacy of
Senator Walter Edge, of Atlantic.
Atlantic, Burlington, Cape May and
Cumberland Counties already are in
the new combination, so far as the
recognized leaders are concerned. Ex-
Senator Bloomfield II. Minch and for
mer County Chairman Morris Davis,
OF Cumberland, have declared for the
Edge propaganda. County Clerk Har
ry Knight and Organization leaders
in Burlington are Edge men. In Cape
May the Stevens-Hand factions have
agreed to support for Governor any
man Atlantic County supports.
In Atlantic Commodore" Kuehnle
has aligned himself with the Bachar-
ach-Edge forces. Salem and Glouces-
ter Counties, which, W ith Camden,
constitute the 1st Congressional Dis
trict, are expected to be in the new
coalition definitely before spring.
There is no disposition to fight David
Baird and his forces in Camden, but
the belief is growing here that the
new lineup of South Jersey leaders
will be strong enough eventually to
eliminate the veteran Camden boss"
If such step should be necessary.
Baird, however, is expected to be
friendly. Such coalition has been in
his mind for years.
In the interest of harmony, since
Representative Bacharach halls from
Atlantic, and Atlantic expects to make
Edge the party nominee for Governor,
Burlington and Cumberland Counties
will be permitted to name the I'd Dis
trict delegates to the Republican Ma
tional Convention next year. The al
ternates will come from Cape May and

PLACE FOR SEED CORN
One of Most important Factors in
Increasing field.
Three Necessary Conditions for stor-
ine-Air Circulation to Carry Off
Moisture, Even temperature
and Early Selection.

After time has been spent selecting
seed corn, it would be folly to store it
in place where it would not keep.
Freshly gathered seed corn should not
be left in piles in warm room, or on
the floor. 1t will either sprout, mold
or do both. Always store seed corn
where there is a good circulation Of
air. so it will dry out quickly. Never
leave it in boxes, in piles, on the
porch or in the barn. 1t should be
taken care of at once.
There are only three necessary con-
ditions for storing seed corn; and. if
these are followed. one may be rea-
sonably sure that 95 per cent or more
of his corn will germinate, provided
it was properly matured. First, there
must be good circulation of all
about each ear, to carry away the sur
plus moisture Second, temperature
must be maintained above freezing
until the seed is thoroughly dry
Third, seed corn must be selected
early enough so that it may have
plenty of time to dry before colo
weather
Many devices, easily and cheaply
built, are low in use whereby circu
lation of air can be secured arount
each ear of corn. Four very desirabl,
methods of storing seed corn on thu
farm are here suggested. A frame o

GETS B0ARs INTO CONDITION
Where Animals Have Been Permitted
to Get Too Fat Some Breeders
Walk Them Before Feeding.

A boar that is put into show con-
dition or permitted to get too fat often
fails as breeder and after being re-
duced in flesh is still unreliable and
uncertain. American Swineherd tells
how some breeders handle their hogs
to get them in gooo shape after they
are too fat or have come back from
the fairs. Several walk them a mile
or two miles, sometimes in the morn
ing before feeding them, and have
very little corn the ration
One herdsman purchased two web
! known boars that either on account of
shipment or too frequent usage be-
fore refused to breed. The first one
he put In an s by 16 foot stall, then
permitted no one to annoy or strike
him. He cut down his feed and let
SOW run around near the pen. In
six or eight weeks he hau spirited up
until the herdsman was the only one
who could handle him and he always
used a hurdle, on the ground that a
boar should never be i'll treated. Re-
suits were so good that the same plan
was followed when the second boar
came. In each case both animals
turned out first-class breeders after.

KEEP SEEDS FROM RIPENING
Avoid All Sources of Weed Introduc-

Roadsdes and Waste Places.

In fighting weeds it is not only i'm
portant to avoid introducing their
seeds into the fields with seed grain.
but it is important as well to avoid
other sources of weed introduction

roadsides, bitches and waste places in
general. The weeds should be kept
well cut throughout the season as far
as possible and thus prevented from
ripening seeds to be carried to the
fields by wind, water and animals. AS
fast as possible these places should be
cleared and cleaned up and good
clean grass sod established. Weed
seed-infested manure is another
source of weed introduction that
should be guarded against. Such ma
nure should be well composted be-

poi OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES


All of the single and pompon sorts
are excellent for pot culture. and
quite a few of these do well as single
stem sorts. as long as you are not too
particular as to the size of flowers.
People usually care more for the gem
eral effect of plant in pot than
for the individual flowers. Don't over
pot plants; rather feed a little moro
and pay the very best attention to the
watering, for you want plants with as
much foliage down to the pot as it is
possible to have. Attend to the stalk
ing; so much depends on this if you
want a shapely plant. One stake in
the center answers nicely for medium
sized ones, but even here it is often
better to make use of three or FIVE
smaller stakes and properly spread
the branches. 1t will add so per cent
to the good looks of the plant and
that, after all, is what counts

MUST GULL PULLETs FREELY
Fowls, to Be Profitable, Should Reach
Laying Maturity Before Severe
Weather Sets In.

The farmer who would increase the
profits of his flock must Gull his pull
lets vigorously One reason why fowls
are Improbable during the fall and
winter months is that too many runty,
weak and undeveloped pullets are win
tered. To be profitable, the pullets
should reach laying maturity before
settled cold weather begins. If they
are not fully matured before cold
weather they will rarely lay until
spring
The pullet that begins TO lay in the
fall may be depended on to be a good
all-year-'round layer, and if no profit
is realized from the flock during the
fall and winter months, it is because
the fully-matured, laying pullets have
to support too many drones-old hens
and immature pullets
All pullets that lag behind those oi
the same age in growth, should be
marketed as soon as possible.

DOUBLE ROW PLAN IN FAVOR
Celery Plants Grew With Unusual
Vigor and Averaged Larger Than
Those Set in Single Rows.

Last summer instead of planting
our celery in single rows as hereto
fore, we planted double rows. says a
writer in an exchange. The ground
is upland, and was. in fairly good con-
dition, crop of early potatoes having
already been harvested. It was not
replowed, but was well narrowed and
leveled
The rows where the celery was to
be set were spaded, two spades wide.
The upper soil was thrown to one
side and well-rotted manure, supple
mented with complete fertilizer, was
used in the row. This was well raka.A
in with the pronged hoe, the soil th 1t
was thrown out was returned and the
plot leveled.
The plants were set by line, in
double rows six inches apart and the
plants six inches apart in the row.
The double rows were four feet apart.
The plants grew with unusual vigor
and averaged larger than those set
in single rows. and better than any
we have ever grown under the single
TOW system. The advantage lies in
the saving of labor in banking and in
economy of space. as more plants can
be grown on the same land

Ever notice how COWS come up on
their milk in fly time, when a cool.
breezy spell that temporarily checks
the flies happens along? It's mostly
because the poor beasts get chance
to feed without being driven to it by
actual hunger, and they lose less vi
tality from being tormented by the
flies.
Trouble is such spells don't come
often enough nor last long enough to
have much value, but you can gain
just about the same ends by putting
fly dope on the cows. 1t costs little,
takes little time to apply and pays
well. Try it.

Buckwheat is very sensitive to cold
and is killed by the first heavy frost.
1t fills best in cold weather, however
and SO the sowings are deferred to
allow only time for the crop to ma
ture before frost occurs. By seeding
in early July it is most likely to es
cape injury from hot weather, which
with drying winds and hot nights
causes the flowers to blast and fail to
produce seed.
