FARMERS MARKETS NEEDED IN
NEW JERSEY TOWNS.

Investigations which have been
made by the New Jersey Experiment
Station seem to warrant recommended
lions to establish farmers markets in
more of the medium and large-sized
towns and cities in New Jersey. 1t
is an undisputed fact that from some
sections of Southern Jersey, for in
stance, products are being shipped to
Philadelphia and then brought back
from that city and sold to the inhabi-
tants of the sections from which they
were originally shipped. Naturally
the prices they pay include the cost
of hauling the produce to and from
the city and the charges of commits
sion men who mave handled it there.
If more home markets were estab-
lished and ~patronized, patrons would
get their produce at lower prices, they
could get a better selection and the
goods they purchase would naturally
be f%resher; since they would not have
to undergo the deteriorating process
of being hauled back and forth by
train under different temperature con-
ditions, and the necessary handling
at different points. The farmer on
the other hand would spend less time
and money in marketing his products
! would realize more in selling prices
and would be more independent than
when dealing with city commission
dealers.

DocroRs AGAINST ALCOHOL.

At the annual meeting of the Amer
lean Osteopathic association, held at
Philadelphia, the following anti-alco-
hol resolution was passed:
In view of the undoubted and ter
ribly destructive effects of alcohol
and the very doubtful and slight ad-
vantage TO be obtained from its use,
we hereby unequivocally and uncon
ditionally condemn its use and place
ourselves Upon record as p%ronouncing
1t one of the greatest curses of the
age, a detriment to human well-being
and a disgrace to our civilization"

luton, said he considered its adoption
to be one of the most advanced steps

taken. I'VE are now definitely lined

Kidney ills seize young and old;

too thick and where they cross, rub
OF interfere with the proper growth
of other branches. Tip back. By
this is meant cutting back part of the
new growth made beyond last years
growth. This will promote stocki-
ness and cause the last years wood
to branch. The tree will thus be low
er, making it easier to pick the fruit.
Profits begin to disappear when the
ladder appears in the peach orchard.
Apples should not be pruned quite
like peach trees. The branches usual
ly should start a little higher from the
ground. Prune upright-growing trees
by cutting to outside branches or
buds, to spread the tree. Spreading
trees such as greetings should be
brought in by cutting the dropping
ends of branches and allowing sub
branches Or smaller branches from
upper and inner side to grow. Cut
off branches growing in toward the
center. Thin out where too thick.
Do not allow a main branch to grow
directly over another so that when
loaded with fruit the two will lodge
together. Avoid parallel limbs when
close together.
In old, high-headed trees cut out
big central branches which shade the
rest of the tree. Cut out all dead
wood. Make the cuts clean and close
to the main branch. Do not use an
axe; use a saw. Do not leave stubs,
as they will decay and the decay will
extend into the heart of the tree. If
big cuts r made, paint the wound
with white lead worked up with a
small quantity of raw linseed oil.
Coloring matter may be used in the
lead if beauty is to be considered.

The freight rates of the nation have
been built up along lines of least re-
sistance. The merchant, the manu-
facturer, the miner, the miller, the
lumberman and the cattleman have
had their traffic bureaus thoroughly
organized and in many instances they
have pursued the railroad without
mercy and with the power of organ
lied tonnage they have hammered the
life out of the rates and with unre-
strained greed they have eaten the
vitals out of our transportation system
and since we have had railroad com
missions, these interests, with skill
and cunning. are represented at every
hearing in which their business is
involved.
The farmer is seldom represented
at rate hearings, as his organizations
have never had the finances to EN-.
ploy counsel to develop his side of
the case and, as a result, the products
of the pillow bear an unequal burden
of the freight expense. A glance al
the freight tariffs abundantly proves
I1l1O lIOL. SOINOAAf nv ANoaAA
agricultural product of the South, al
ready bears the highest freight rate OF
any necessary commodity in com.
merce, and the rate on agricultural
products as a whole is out of pro
portion with that of the products OF
the factory and the mine.
We offer no schedule of rates, but
hope the commission will be able to
give the railroad such an increase in
rates as is necessary without levyine
a further toll upon the products of
the pillow. The instance seems to pre-.
sent an opportunity to the Railroad
Commissions to equalize the rates as
between agricultural and other classes
of freight without disturbing the rates
on staple farm products.

Our citizens pay taxes on 81, 765 each,
a little over 500 more than they paid
a year ago, even though this was
the worst drought season in our
history. Our a~griculturists use the
best for their own tables, and a
plentiful supply at that, but after
using all the butter, eggs and poultry
they needed, they sold $22, O0O,0 900

Ing around waiting for the mayor and

highways that they are e~ndeavoring
to buy at about ten per cent above
par. A great many of our farmers are
complaining because they can't pay
off their mortgage until it becomes
due, though they have decreased their
recorded indebtedness from 55 per
cent to As per cent in the past 10
years. At the same time they have
boosted the h~ome-owned securities
from $13, 100000 to SGT, 0OO, 900.
Every year our state creates a new
wealth; last year a wealth of $4,000
600 a day vas the record. We spent
$13,500,000 last year to run 415,0O0
schools; that kept $4,000 teachers
busy for about nine months. The
salaries of the lei teachers in Il
public schools have increased from
$44 to 5000 a month in the past ten
years, while the salary of. the women
teachers has doubled. All of the weak
school districts have state aid, and we
have no schools which have less than
a seven-month term. We have an en-
dowment fund for the common
schools of $9,25O,00O. With a popula-
ton of 10000 we had an enroll
ment of $500 students in our state
universities, and $500 in our denomi-
national schools. Six thousand stu
dents attended our state university
and agricultural college last year.
This is a remarkable showing when
compared with Missouri, which has
100000 population and only 3,917
students in her university and agri-
cultural college. Indiana, with about
the same population, has 1861 stu
dents in her combined schools.

RATE INCREASE

TITLED TO MORE REVENUE.
Products of Plow and Farmer Who
Lives at Home Should Be

By Peter Radford.
Lecturer National Farmers Union

Lecturer National Farmers Union
The recent action of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in granting an
increase in freight rates in the eastern
classification of territory; the applicar
ton of the roads to state and inter
state commissions for an increase in
rates, and the utterances of President
Wilson on the subject bring the farm
ers of this nation face to face with the
problem of an increase in freight
rates. 1t is the policy of the Farmers
Union to meet the issues affecting the
welfare of the farmers squarely and
we will do so in this instance.
The transportation facilities of the
United States are inadequate to eff
fectively meet the demands of COM
merce and particularly in the South
and West additional railway mileage
is needed to accommodate the move
ment of farm products. If in the wis
dom of our Railroad Commissions an
increase in freight rates is necessary
to bring about an improvement in our
transportation service, and an extern
sion of our mileage. then an increase
should be granted, and the farmer is
willing to share such proportion of
the increase as justly belongs to him,
but we have some suggestions to make
as to the manner in which this in
rease shall be levied.

What Is a Fair Rate?

We do o know what constitutes a
basis for rate making and have never
heard of anyone who did claim tc
know much about it, but If the pros
perity of the farm is a factor to be
considered and the railroad commits.
sion concludes hat an increase in
rates is necessary, we would prefer
that it come to us through articles OF
consumption on their journey from
the factory to the farm. We would,
for example, prefer that the rate on
nogs remain as at present and the
rate on meat bear the increase, fol-
any farmer can then avoid the burden
by raising his W meat. and a farm
err who will not try to raise his own
meal ought to be penalized. We
think the rate on coal and brick can
much better bear an increase than
the rate on cotton and flour. We
would prefer that the rate on plows
remain the same. and machinery,
pianos and such articles as the poor
err farmer cannot hope to possess bear
the burden of increase.
The increase in rates should be so
arranged that the farmer who lives
at home will bear no part of the bur
den, but let the farmer who boards
in other states and countries and
who feeds his stock in foreign lands.
pay the price of his folly.
