experience in this work.

new HOPE TO
FIGHT GAS CO.
Corporation Threatens to Cut Off
The Supply If Courts Decide
Il Must Extend Mains.
THE BOROUGHS OTHER EVENTS

New Hope borough is to be cut off
from its supply of gas by the Bucks
County Public Service Corporation,
if the state authorities decide that
it must pipe gas to the home of
Charles Marooney, on South Main
street, is the statement alleged to
have been made by its legal counsel.
Borough Counsel Arthur M. East
burn stated, at special meeting of
the borough fathers, that this was
the substance of what he learned
from the gas attorney. Nothing
daunted by this threat the council
directed Chief Burgess D. B. Oblinger
and Counsellor Eastburn to proceed
against the gas company, before the
Public Utilities Commission.
The fight to get gas at the Ma
rooney home has been on for a long
time, and some months ago the bor-
ough sent Mr.. Marooney and Mr..
Eastburn to Harrisburg, to make
fight before the commission for SER
vice. After hearing the evidence
offered, the commission decided to
leave the matter temporarily in the
hands of the plaintiff and defendant
who, it appeared, were likely to reach
an agreement. Now the gas COM
pany comes back with this intimi-
dating threat, expecting that New
Hopers will be scared stiff, Mr.. Ma
rooney says.
1t is believed that the borough
could take possession of the gas
mains and meters, in the event of
the company refusing service, and if
so the New Jersey Northern Gas
Company, of Lambertville, would
probably be appealed to for a supply.
That the borough could purchase
this gas and resell it to the house.
holders, is the belief of many local
people.
On the other hand, it is pointed
out, refusal by the gas company to
obey court order would probably
result in the gentle confinement of
its officers in seclusive place, upon
charges of contempt. Anyway they
look at it, New Hopers think they
have the upper hand, and point out
that if the gas company can deter
mine who it will or will or will not
supply gas to, why laws and courts
areuseless.
The outcome will be watched with
interest by all the parties concerned.

seeds are covered much deeper
than five inches, many of them
will fail to send sprouts above the
ground.
Where the field is very weedy,
and particularly where wild oats
infest it, it may be advisable to
seed the peas in rows IA to q in
ches apart. This permits of cul-
tivation and the eradication of
the weeds. In such fields, it is
also well to disc before seeding
and If the weeds start before the
crop is up, narrowing is advisable.
Cultivating the crop at an early
date is of advantage in holding
the weeds in check. Where peas
are planted in rows, they do not
yield as well as drilled. If prof
liable yields can be obtained by
growing peas as cultivated crop,
they will be of value in eradicat-
ing weeds and as a summer fall
low crop.
The ordinary grain drill set for
sowing one bushel Of oats will |
seed one bushel $50 pounds) Of |
medium-sized peas. If set for in
termediate amounts Of oats, the
seeding of peas viii vary accord
ingly. One should always take
into account the size of the pea
seed before setting the indicator.
Mixtures.-In growing peas for
forage and particularly where a
hay or silage crop is desired, they
are generally sown with a small
grain crop. Where peas and oats
are seeded, the rate of seeding is
about 10 pounds of me-
dium-sized pea seed and 80 Il
pounds Of oats. Good results are II
obtained by seeding the peas 7 to e
10 days ahead Of the oats and I
hen drilling the same grain cross l
WISE This, however, is a more /
expensive method. Where small a
yrain is seeded thicker than the
Ibove, the grain tends to crowd I
nut the peas, thus reducing the Il
'ield The mixture should be cut J
When the small grain is in the r
lough stage to obtain the largest J
