VERY Good EDDIE IS FULL
OF Good music AND COMEDY

"Very Good Eddic,S a delightful mu-

plenty Of comedy TO make the evening

and there is plenty of chance for the
cleverest comedy work There IS not a

POTATO CROP BRINGS
millions TO Growers
Monmouth County Farmers
Enjoy Fat Profit From
Big Yield
BEST YEAR IN
THE STATE HISTORY

TRENTON, n. j., Oct. Farmers
Of Monmouth county are enjoying the
financial benefits of one OF the most
tremendous yields of potatoes that
this famous potato-growing section
has ever known With potatoes sell
ing at an average of 81 a bushel to
wholesalers. many small fortunes
have been made and every farmer in
the county who had the usual crop
of early and late potatoes Is partlcl-
pating In the financial gain.
Ii is estimated that the total yield
OF POTATOES In Monmouth county this
year is close to 1000, 0CO bushels and
This means that the income OF the po-
tato. growing farmers has been about
81 OOO O0G. This sum Us distributed
among many farmers, the bulk OF It
going to the owners OF potato farms
ranging anywhere from 10 to 90 acres.
In Monmouth county, particularly in
the section about Homedell, there are
a number of l0Oacre potato farms and
the total number of such extensive
fields devoted to potatoes this year
was between fifteen and twenty. This
means that these fifteen or twenty
owners have each received between
$4,000 and $4,000 for their potatoes
alone.
The yield of potatoes per acre in
this State is usually between 100 and
1870 bushels. In many instances.
where the more productive varieties
OF potatoes were planted. the acreage
Yield has reached as high as 300
bushels, and for these fortunate far
mers this year has been phenomenal
ly productive.
The Monmouth County Farmers
Exchange has thirty leading stations
in Monmouth county and at these
since the middle of August the daily
shipments have been between 100 and
15O carloads Of potatoes a day. each
car carrying about $50 bushels and
worth on an average of $3.50.
In one day in the heighth of the
shipping season for the potato grow
ers about Hightstown. seventy-five car
loads were shipped from this point
alone This shipment represented a
potato value Of $56250.
The average income for the far
mers for each acre yield OF potatoes
shipped out of Monmouth county has
been $3.50. To raise an acre OF po-
tatoes in this State costs about $50.
so the average profit per acre has
been about 5000.
