A resolution was read, stating that
whereas the term of Col. +. A. Stev-
ems, after six years of honest. faithful
and efficient service, was about to end
and the Legislature was about to abolish
the office of road commissioner and es-
tablish a commissioner for the manage
ment of the States roads, it was resolv-
ed that his services be commended and
that he be appointed the commissioner
Mr.. Borton reported that the Woods
town and Penns Grove road was pros
crossing as fast as the plans and speci-
ications could be approved.
The BOARD passed a resolution COM
mending the donation of land at Sharp
town to the county for needed extension
of the road.
Mrs. A. Il. Beckett. of Salem. ap-
peared before the Board in behalf of the
Daughters of the Revolution and asked
the privilege of giving prisoners in the
jail literature that would enlighten them
on American institutions. She had found
most of them foreigners or the sons of
foreigners of the first generation. She
also asked the county to buy enamel
ware for the prisoners to eat from in
stead of tin ware now used.
Salem has no rest place for strang-
ers. When the trolley starts in Salem
a waiting place will be needed. She
asked that a part of the yard in front
of the court house be used for benches
on which persons may sit to rest or wait
for trolley cars. They voted for the
committee to consider the matter.
County Engineer H.. B. Keasby stat
ed that State Commissioner Stevens
favored building the Pole Tavern-Wo
town road. 1t was hoped to get be-
tween 100000 and $4,000 from the
State this year.
As Upper Penns Neck agreed to pay
10 per cent of the cost of the stone road,
less $500 previously paid for the i'm
proved road. the Board passed a reso-
luton requesting that Lower Penns Neck
pay 10 per cent of the stone road when
built between Pennsville and Salem, less
the amount paid when the shell road was
built.
The committee on the Penns Neck
bridge reported that bids were opened
on the 9th. To rebuild the bridge so the
trolleys may run will cost $6o,378. The
cost of a temporary bridge to use while
the bridge is rebuilding will cost $7.227.
10 repair ana ~suengtnen tne OLD Drloge
will cost $23. 1000.
A representative of the trolley com
pany said that in his opinion the prices
were unnecessarily high and more than
the company wished to pay. He thought
the county as well as the company
could save money by adding repairs and
strength for a single track on the pres
ent bridge and regulating the travel at
both ends.
A bridge tender is required all the
time now. An expense of $4,000 or
$4,000, in his opinion, would be enough
to do it.
The bids for rebuilding the bridge
were all rejected and the checks ordered

GOOD COWS DEPEND

Best Way to Improve Herd

that it is only by continued selection

that the sire is half the herd is liter

EXPERT PREDICTS
BIG FUTURE FOR
LIVESTOCK MEN

Chicago, Nov. 2i.-Arthur G. Leon
ara, president of the Chicago Union
Stockyards, has made an appeal to
farmers to forcgo. in the world crisis,
their short sighted policy in hurrying
to market livestock which, for the sake
of the future and with a greater prom
Use of profit, should be held on the
farms. Mr.. Leonard's message is sent
out by the Illinois state council of dc
IL nse. and is in part as follows:
TO the average American farmer
the world war is still off event.
he has been too busy to clearly realize
its tremendous bearing upon American
agriculture. Thus far he has thought
of the war mainly as it affects the la
Dor necessary to produce and gather
the crops he has planted and their
market value.
when ne does wake up to the true
win see that preservation of stock on
farms Is one of the most vital factors
to all the people of every nation, in
order that the worlds disappearing
supply of meats, wool and leather NAV
be replenished. Everything points to
la continuance of the war for some
time to, come. The worlds needs will
increase as the war goes on. 1t is not
plain that the demands upon agricul-
ture for food and clothing will grow
greater and greater with each month
of destruction; that it will be impos-
stble to pEQducc an adequate supply,
especially OF animal products. such as
meats. leather and wool, unless breed
ing herds are maintained"

PROMISE FARMER
MORE FOR HOGS
State Food Administration to
Limit Profit of Packer
and Middleman.

More hogs with an assurance of good
prices Tor the farmer is the text of Il
letter that has been sent ont by the
Montana food administration which
points out that every effort will be
made to see that the number of hogs
produced in the state is increased
and that a profit of the packer and
middle man will be limited
The letter follows:
The food administration has four
man purposes II view with reference
To hogs to sec that the producer can
at all times count on q fair price for
his hogs SO that it will be profitable
for him to sell. that the farmer in
creases the number of hogs bred, to
limit the profit of the packer and mid l.
dleman and to eliminate speculation.
All these purposes are necessary be-
cause we must have more hogs so that
the ultimate consumer shall at all
times get an adequate supply of hogs
al the lowest feasible price.
Promise Rigid Control.
We shall establish rigid control or
the packer, Fair prices To the farmer
for his hogs will. we believe. be
brought about by the full control
which the food administration has over
the buying of the allies. our army and
navy, the Red Cross. the Belgian re =.
lief and the neutrals. The first step
is to stop the sudden break in prices
paid for hogs in the central markets..
These prices must become stable so
that the farmer knows whore he
stands and we feel justified in increas
ing the number Of hogs for next winter.
The prices so far as we can effect
them will not be below a minimum OF
about $3.50 per hundredweight for the
Average OF the package droves on the
Chicago market.
We have had and shall have the adj
vice of the board composed of practical
hog growers and experts. The board
advised that the best yard stick to
measure the cost OF production of the
hog Is OF corn prices to hog prices on
the average over a series of years has
been about Il to one, or "a little less
in the past when the ration has gone
lower than II to one, the stock of hogs
in the country has decreased When
It was higher than II, the hogs have
increased. That board as given it's
judgment that to bring the stock of
hogs back to normal under present
conditions the ratio should be about
13.
Therefore. as to the hogs narrowed
next spring we will try to stabilize the
price so that the farmer can count
on getting for each hundred pounds OF
