Grange Picnic.
Tuesday and Wednesday were big
days at Rancocas Park, the occasion be-
ing the annual picnic and fair of
Pomona Grange. The weather was de-
| lightful and the attendance was excep-
tionally large. Every available space
was filled with automobiles that had
brought the farmers and their families
to the picnic.
The displays of fruits, vegetables end
other farm products were above the
average. They were exhibited in one of
the buildings and under tent. There
was also shown cut flowers, cakes,
canned goods, ladies' needlework, ETC.,
which were particularly attractive to the
women folk. A good representation of
the Grange building at Vincentown,
made from fruits, vegetables, ETC.,
brought forth much favorable comment.
Farm machinery, farm supplies, gaso-
line engines, farm wagons, gasoline
propelled tractor, and several makes of
automobiles were exhibited on the
ground near the buildings.
The New Jersey agricultural expert
ment station at New Brunswick had an
exhibit showing the best Varieties of
grains to raise in New Jersey and also
had other educational features The
exhibit was in charge of Prof. A. F.
Clark and Lawrence Gillian.
On Wednesday afternoon there were
speeches by Prof. Clark and James s.
Frelinghuysen, president of the state
board of agriculture
Prof. Clark made reference to the pres
ent low price of farm products and the
unsatisfactory marketing conditions.
He said the remedy must come from the
farmers, and urged cooperation and or
ganization as the best methods so far
advanced. Farmers institutions, picnics
and any other kind of meetings are apt
to bring out and develop new ideas and
discussions.
Mr.. Frelinghuysen spoke of the neces.
He contended that New Jersey. in pro-
portion to it's wealth and natural advan-
tages, does less for the advancement of
agriculture than any other state.
Three base ball games took place dur
ing the two days7one on Tuesday and
