make a peg on which Gov. Lowden

PREPARING FOR
STATE SOCIETY
State Horticultural So.
ciety Big Meeting.
THOUSANDS HERE
Preparations Are Being Made to
Care for at Least Two Thou
sand People.

Yesterday L. Willard Minch and
County Farm Demonstration w. w.
Obey were at Tumbling Dam Park ar
ranging for the midsummer annual
outing of the State Horticultural So
ciety which meets here on Wednesday
of next week
The information received by Mr..
Minch is that this outing will be at
tended by more people than has ever
before gathered upon such an occa-
sion. At the Seabrook Farms two
years ago there were 1000 people on
the grounds the agriculturists and
fruit growers coming from all over
the state. Next week there will be
that many people, probably more.
The committee of the State Society
is enthusiastic regarding the visit and
they think Tumbling Dam Park is
an ideal place for the affair.
There will be a very considerable
exhibit of fruit shown in competition
for premiums from all over New Jer-
sey. 1t is expected that the State
Farm at Vineland will make a peach
exhibit, and there will be a general
exhibit made by the Cumberland
County Board of Agriculture.
Minch Brothers expect to make a
very complete exhibit of the peaches
raised from their orchards.
There will be several booths for
these exhibits and the committee will
also have a large tent pitched on the
grounds to entertain the throngs.
The vast number of machines that
will be at the Park will be parked
about the base ball grounds.
Yesterday Mr.. Minch and Mr.. Obey
arranged with Caterer Ovid Davis to
serve light, lunches for the thousands
who will be here.
The meeting in tne Park Casino will
be from 1 until nearly o'clock. There
will be several state speakers here,

POTATOES
PREVENT BLIGHT
Unsprayed Crop Threatened Un-
less Highly Destructive Fun.
gous Disease is Controlled
by Use of Bordeaux
fixture.

Washington, D. c., July 31.-Potato
late blight, fungous disease. CAPABLE
of causing enormous destruction.
has appeared in several States from
Maine to New Jersey and West Vir-
ginia, according to the United States
Department of Agriculture. The
blight occurred early this year and
reports show that it is more preva-
lent than usual. While in some fields
the blight is already beyond control
prompt spraying with Bordeaux mix
ture will, in most cases, still be effec-
tive, the specialists advise. Unless
potato growers spray thoroughly with
Bordeaux mixture, they fear that the
large potato crop that has been prom
ised will not be Irealized, as late
blight, if uncontrolled, is capable of
reducing the national crop at the
rate of 100000 bushels per day.
Potatoes in the northern States are
just beginning to form tubers. To
produce large crop the tops must
be kept healthy till frost. as the tu-
bers increase in size most rapidly
during the last weeks of the season.
The late blight kills the tops and
causes the tubers to rot in the ground.
The blight starts in a few centers in
the field where diseased potatoes
were planted. Brown spots develop
on the leaves and a whitish mldew
appears on their under side. Ere
quent rains and warm, muggy wealth
er furnish ideal conditions for the
development of the blight under
which the foliage blights rapidly, the
leaves hang blackened and dead and
the tubers begin to rot. Dry and hot
weather on the other hand tends to
check the progress of the blight but
growers should spray Immediately
and not trust their crops entirely to
improvement in weather conditions.
AS an effective preventive of late
blight Bordeaux mixture has proved
its value for 25 years. Every grower
from Maine to Michigan and south to
Virginia is urged to spray at once
and repeatedly.

our State Agricultural College They
are giving demonstrations in great
numbers throughout the state. and
many thousands of housewives are
making unusual effort to conserve
fruits and vegetables. There is no
way of determining the amount of

Our Department of Agriculture
knows that distribution methods are
very faulty and it is doing all within
its power to correct them, but prices

and consumption of perishable pro-

should be until consumers buy in lar

MOSQUITOES

One result of the heavy and contin-
uous rains is the unusually large crop
of mosquitoes which have been filling
all outdoors and tneir own stomachs
in and around here for the past week
or two and making life miserable for
all human beings. A farmer near here
whose meadows were flooded about
three weeks ago, says it is almost
impossible to work in his fields be-
cause of the clouds of mosquitoes
born and come to maturity since the
big rains. He says many of ithe
CRITTERS" have come here-and we
believe him for not for years have
they been so numerous in the city as
at present. By the way, where is the
Mosquito Commission" whose mis-
sion on earth is to drive the ''skeet-
ers'' off of it?

The sizzard or hot wave has driven
everyone who can swim and many
who cannot, to the water. The beach
at Tumbling Dam Park has been
crowded with ladies and gentlemen,
boys and girls. Yesterday all records
were broken and all the afternoon aud
last night there were happy throngs in
the water. Good swimmers had brg
time on the diving boards and there

Owing to the unusual demand Ovid

Simple Way To
 End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need), apply it at night when retiring !; use enough to 1noisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 By morning, most if not all, of your dandruf will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dis solve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruf you may have.
 You will find all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better,

Isn't it a fact that some of the things that happened to you in child hood are still among the most vivid things in your memory?
 Childhood impressions are lasting. AS the twig is inclined, the tree will grow. If you teach the child the sav- ing habit by starting bank account, the habit will grow. Many parents realize this and have had their chill dren open accounts at our bank. They are taught to save pennies, the nickles and the dimes. In after years it is easy for them to save the dollars also. You couldn't do better by your chil- dren than to help them start little bank account.
