Commuter Dragged Many Blocks and
Suffers Dislocated Hip.

Passaic. n. ~J.-Joseph Scarpa of
Loj., a New York commuter, was just
ten seconds late for the 7:50 a. IN. Erie

the moving train. He grabbed the rail
on the rear OF the last car. He held
on as the train gathered speed, every
now and then humping the ties. At
Pennington avenue, Passaic, Scarpa,
exhausted, lost his grip and fell to the
roadbed. He was taken to st. Mary's
hospital with a dislocated hip and
many decorations and Commissions, but
his neck is sound.

CHEAP PERMANENT ROADS.

In the current issue of Farm and Fire.
side is an article on concrete roads from
which we gather that high grade ma
cadAm seldom costing more than $50 a
mile for upkeep expenses is a pleasant
reality.
Concrete roads built in the United
States during 1914 cost on the average
$ll, 1921 a mile of l6-fOot width. One
hundred and forty two concrete roads
built during the twenty years previous
to 1914 cost Sl2. 766 a mile of l6-fOot
width. Most concrete roads are l6-feet
wide.
"Upkeep and repair charges have been
less than S25 year for a concrete road
built in Bellefontaine, Ohio, more than
twenty years ago. The yearly mainten-
ance of the 81 miles of concrete roads
in Wayne County. Michigan, cost S2S. 43
a mile. 1t cost 1882 year to keep up
a concrete road at Spencer, Mass.
Concrete roads are not affected by
the wes ther, traffic, or mud or trash
tracked upon them, as is the case with
some improved roads. Freezing and
thaWing have no effect on them if prop
erly constructed. Heat does not soften
them, nor cold make them brittle. Con-
crete increases with age.
Wayne County, Michigan, has the
most remarkable system of concrete
roads in the Unites States. This system
was begun seven years ago. The value
of the abutting farm land has been
doubled in some instances, and all land
has increased in value because Of con-
crete roads"

The CANNING TOMATO IN SUSSEX
(In four parts-Part 1.)

The tomato has for many years been
a leading crop in many parts of Sussex
County. 1t fits well into the average
farm rotation. bears its fruit at a sea-
son where there is plenty of time to take
care of it, and in some years it appears
/ to pay well. Although the tomato has
been here many years, there are serious
doubts as to the profits, real and not
guessed, that are possible under the
| present methods of growing and with
| prices as they have been in recent years.
| The value of the tomato crop, on the
average farm, is the greater because
the canned product is in steady demand
on all markets. and because under the
contract system the risks of marketing
are reduced to a minimum, even though
IN some years the open price is higher
The chief difficulties, therefore, are
those that deal with the production end.
II man contracts for so many acres,
mis- biggest problem is to get the most
baskets at the smallest cost. because he
does not have to run the risk that may
attend the production of higher yields
of some other crops.
Some years ago the Delaware Agr;-
cultural Experiment Station estimated
the cost of producing an acre of toma-
loes, under average conditions on many
Delaware farms, to be S3861. This
figure was reached after securing the
estimates of growers in all parts of the
state, and it includes every item of ex-
pense, including rent of land or interest
m the value of the land. If this esti-
mate is correct, and the price obtained |
for the crop is $40 a ton, nearly four |
IONS per acre must be obtained before |
there is any real profit. At 50 or So a |
on, of course, even higher yields must
Je secured before profit appears.
On the average farm when farm ma
iure alone is used as fertilizer, less
cost of production may be expected.
Nhen manure or fertilizer is not used,
however, or is not properly used. the
Yields may be so poor that they hardly
jay the cost of marketing. An average
ield of two tons per acre on several
of acres, reported by Gamer
n Sussex County for the year of 1914,
caves no profit for anyone. Usually,
lsO, low yield to the acre means low
Iuality as well, so that packers are un.
atisfed,

CANNED TOMATO PRICE
HIGHEST IN TEN YEARS

Last June tomatoes sold as low as a
penny basket in Philadelphia.
Canned tomatoes now are selling at
the highest prices asked in ten years.
The normal wholesale price for canned
tomatoes at this time of the year is IS
/ cents dozen canss to be retailed at 10
cents can.
The present wholesale price of canned
tomatoes is 81. 10 dozen, to retail at II
cents a can.
The cheap June tomatoes last year
were so overripe that they were unfit for
canning purposes. Tomato canning
does not begin until about the twentieth
Of August and the season then runs
through September and October in nor
NAL years. But last year the season
was cut short by heavy rains in August,
which washed the blossoms off the to-
mato vines, with the result that the fall
crop, the canning crop, was cut in hslf
and canning stopped in September.
How the heavy rains affected the to-
mato canning crop is best shown in the
figures Of Maryland, which is the real
tomato country. and produces 40 per
cent of the country's canned tomato
supply. Maryland's 1914 output was
6, 900, 900 cases of twenty-four cans each
Maryland's 1915 output fell to 5000, 900
cases.
Delaware, in 1914, produced / 800, 900
cases of canned tomatoes. In 1915 Del
aware produced only 700, 900 cases.
New Jersey, in 1914. produced 700, 900
cases of canned tomatoes. In 1915, New
Jersey produced only 300, 900 cases.
Indiana, in 1914, produced l,S00, 900
cases, and in 1915 only 400, 900.
The coming crop for the entire coun-
try, including California, which has just
begun to grow tomatoes. amounted in
1912 to 1000, 900 cases, in 1918 to a.
900, 900, in 1914 to Is, 900, 600 cases and
1915 to $500, 900 cases.
The present price of 81. 10 for dozen
cans of tomatoes bought by the carload !
lot, as compared with the normal price |
of IS cents, has rarely been equaled in |
this country and has been surpassed only |
twice since accurate statistics were kept /
Of the annual tomato crop.
The scarcity is such that there is al
most a panic among the big wholesale
and retail dealers, and they are buying
up tomatoes to be grown this fall at 85
tents 3 dozen cans, although such ad-
vance sales in normal years usually bring
hem to the wholesaler at 65 cents
ioZen.
In 1894 the wholesale price of toma.
.oes reached 81 a dozen for the first time.
This was matched by the price of $ll0
! dozen in 1898. In 1902 the country
the greatest scarcity in its
history and the price went to 81 60 per
Ozen. In 1906 the price went TO 81 Is,
ut since then has never gone above 81
ntill now Wholesalers predict that
he price will go to 81 25 dozen before
he fresh spring crop reaches the mar
ct.

of his youth, beside the young
brother who gallantly fell at Get
tysburg, and the dear old parents
who came years after to lie with
them-a reunited group.
Though born in the village,
where his father kept store, on
the 18th of Jan. 1925, his home
from the time he was two years
old was on a farm-Hazel Dell
just across the road from Cedar
croft, to which his parents moved,
and where all his brothers and
sisters were born. There his
childhood was spent in close COM
partnership with nature, learning
her secrets, absorbing her beau
ties, storing up impressions and
knowledge of her ways and work
ings, to be reproduced later in his
accurate, finely-drawn descrip-
tions. Nobody knew better than
he the trees, and the wild bios
SONS of the swamps and meadows,
the habits of the birds and the
shy little creatures of the woods,
which he knew by voice and name,
and with whom he made friends.
The horses and dogs and the
sheep were all his familiar COM
panions,-"Old Ben," a horse he
had lived with from childhood was
loved like person, and was men

"REMINISCENCES OF
BAYARD TAYLOR
Charminelu Told by Miss WorraU

Memorial meetings of the most
feeling and genuine character
were afterward held in many
places-informal, in so far as set
programmes and stilted addresses
were concerned, but crowded be-
yond all expectation or precedent
by sincere and quiet mourners to
listen to heartfelt words of love
and sorrow-expre3sions of es-
TEEN and appreciation from per-
sons in all walks of life. The one
in Boston was particularly re-
markable for the coming together
of so many literary men and schol-
airs journalists, scientists, dip
lomats, officials,-and all in an
unofficial, simple way to tell of
the love they bore their brother
poet and friend. Whittier, Holmes,
Longfellow, Lowell, Aldrich Gin
some ways the dearest friend of
alb Stedman, Stoddard, Boxer
were all living then, and gave his
memory tribute. In his old home
town the people who had known
him from childhood gathered in
sad conclave, and each said some
thing kind and full of pride, out of
the fullness of their hearts.
His beautiful residence, C-dar-
croft, about a mile from the town
is the result of much loving
thought and personal attention.
He was himself the architect, and
it embodied his own ideas of the
stately and the comfortable, the
beautiful and the simple, which
unite to make an ideal home. 1t is
on farm which the poet bought
but it was part of the original
tract granted by VIM. Penn to his
great-grandfather, so that in get
ting possession of it he was really
coming into his ancestral estate.
And how he loved it! The trees
he planted and tended so carefully
have become noble oaks, naples
and frs, still in the full vigor of
perfect growth, while the owner
who watched their beginning has
been lying for 80 years in Long
