Political Notes.

In an effort to contrast an appoint
ment by Governor Wilson with one
made by Governor Edge, the Mount
Holly Herald labored industriouslv
Friday but the result was not what
was expected to be the outcome. The
Herald, referring to the appointment
of man from Indiana as the head of
our educational system, says the Re-
publican papers got out their harpoons
but when Governor Edge appointed
General Goethals to engineer some
road work, nothing was said by those
papers. The comparison is simply
ridiculous. Calvin N. Kendall, called
to be State Commissioner of Educa-
ton, was an unknown quantity except
to the man who appointed him and
he accepted position which possibly
paid him twice as much as he was get
ting at home. General Goethals is a
man Of national reputation, who can
command large compensation and
who is an expert in his line. That his
work and advice would be worth much
more than the salary he would receive
is beyond question. Can ANYBODY
point to any special uplift in the
states educational work since Com
missioner Kendall took charger
The annual Jeffersonian dinner bv

Club will be given in the Elks' Home

The high price of pork has caused
the Strengthening of large numbers of
nogs winch should have been retained
as breeders. The brood sows should be
pred as soon as possible so as to raise
another litter this season. If young
pigs are separated from their mothers
ABOUT tWenty-four hours the SOW may
be bred few days later. BY this
method another litter of pigs might be
produced several weeks sooner than by
following the usual custom. The use
OF the self-feeder and allowing the pigs
plenty OF green forage will keep down
the cost of pork production.
Because OF the high prices of feeds,
large numbers of laying hens are be-
ing shipped to the markets. The av
erage price of eggs over the entire
United States on April first was eight
cents per dozen higher than year ago.
Besides this the people are using eggs
in place of meat and they are not be-
ing placed in cold storage, hence eggs
will be extremely high this coming
winter and every family should put
down in water glass about 60 dozen for
use this coming winter. (For direc-
tions write to the Farm Demonstration
If the war continues nitrate of soda
will not be available for use in mixing
fertilizer for next year. To meet this
emergency leguminous cover crops
should be sown wherever possible.
Many boys over fourteen years of age
will soon be excused from school for
farms, also large numbers of factory
hands will be released for farm work.
A list of this available help will be on
file at the office of Farm Demonstra-
ton and anyone wishing this help
should telephone or call at the Office.

Browns Mills.

The road to this place, mainly BY
way of Pemberton, was lined with
automobiles Sunday, and hundreds of
the cars were parked in front of the
hotel and along the lake front. Quite
an effort is being made to boost this
resort and it looks as il success is going
to be the result. Good roads have been
built around the place, although they
are hardly wide enough to encourage
passing of machines in opposite dirsc-
tions. A fine club house is nearly
completed, golf links and tennis courts
have been laid out and will soon be
ready for those who wishl to enjoy
them. Many building lots have been
sold to gentlemen who have contract
ed for houses and new buildings have
been erected. The hotel has been
greatly improved and splendidly-ap-
pointed dining room has Just been
completed. There does not seem to be
any reason why Browns Mills should
not be desirable resort. The lake is
the finest body of water in the neigh
Dorhood and far outstrips that at Lake
wood.
Arrangements are being made to
light the entire park with electricitv
Hargrove's old store has been turned
into a laundry and the entire place has
taken on an appearance of activity and
liveliness that is quite pleasant to be-
hold.
A visit to the farms of the Inter.
national Poultry Association is worth
while. Mr.. Hicks, thesuperintendent,
is always glad to see visitors and show
them around the place. One of the
interesting sights on Sunday was an
incubator in which hundreds of chicks
were emerging from their shells. The
young man who showed them said
they would be shipped early the next
day, some going as far as Chicago.
Asked why they were sent so soon he
said newly Matched chick could go 70
hours without feed or water, hence was
less liable to die than those older which
would require to be fed along the route.
Mr.. Hicks was asked if he had as
many chickens as usual on the place,
to which he replied: mo, there are
only about 1000 hens on the farm now,
but that is enough at the present price
Of feed" The answer was such a sur
prise that the person making the in
quiry forgot to ask how many would
be fair number.

Doing Our BIZ

Now at this critical time it is up to
every farmer to be public spirited and
do all he can to help increase the food
supply as there is world shortage of
all food stuffs. Fewer acres are being
planted this year by the nations at
war than were planted last year, hence
our country must feed the world so to
speak, and we are entering the war
with our own food supplies at very
low ebb. Six of the southern states
have increased their planting of pota.
toes this year oyer last year by II per
cent, and the increase in cabbage in
the six southern states is about so per
cent. 1t seems then that the thing for
our farmers to do is to plant heavily of
the staple crops which need not he
thrown on the market at one time.
causing glut and a break in prices.
Inc condition Of winter wheat in the
United States is about % per cent. be-
low the ten year average. The acreage
OF spring wheat will probably be larger
In the west, but as it does not Weld as
well as winter wheat there is yery apt
70 be shortage along with the fact
That the demand will be greater than
ever before, hence more corn will have
10 DE used as human food. The present
supply and demand would indicate
That over production of corn would be
out OF the question. Other staple foods
which are almost certain to be high
priced and could be grown in this
county are: beans, late potatoes and
soy beans. There will also be a large
demand for soy beans and cowpeas for
seed for the coming year and these
should be good crops to raise this sea-
son. There will also be large demand
for hairy vetch seed this summer and
fall and anyone who planted this last
fall as cover crop would do well to let
it grow and harvest it for seed this
summer.
Because of the high price of beef,
large number of dairy cows are being
sold to the butchers daily. Large
numbers more that are not producing
enough milk to pay for the expense Of
their keep should be slaughtered. If
the breweries and distilleries should be
closed as now seems probable the prices
of all dairy feeds will advance in price.
Cotton seed meal contains the largest
of digestible protein of any
Of the dairy feeds. The price of this
has recently gone down several dollars
per ton and it seems safe proposition
at this time to lay in supply for next
winters needs. To determine the
amount required we might figure on
from 300 to 400 pounds per COW. Other
available high protein feeds to be used
to balance are home grown corn, gluten
and oil meal. The purchase price of
these feeds should be in proportion to
the amount of their digestible protein
which is as follows: cotton seed meal
05 per cent, linseed meal 20 per cent,

Should Bring Results

Through close cooperation between
the County Superintendent of Schools
the County Superintendent of Farm
Demonstration, and the County Y. M
c. A. Secretary, it is expected Burling
ton county will be able to do its part
In producing more food.
The following letter has been sent t.
the schools throughout the county:
THE HOE AND THE BAYoNRT
In response to the call of the Govern
or OF this state, the State Commission
eFof Education and the State Board Of
Agriculture, the undersigned will assist
In the organization OF the Junior In
dustrial Army Of New Jersey, by re-
eruiting boy willing to work on a
farm and finding farmer who need s
the help OF q boy and is willing to give
him reasonable wage and protection.
A soldier of the Junior Industrial
Army must be over IA years OF age, in
good physical condition, having the
consent Of parents or local guardian to
work on farm, and willing to sign a
pledge to give his best service to the
farmer and the state.
Boys who enlist in this army will be
excused from attending the public
school at present, while employed on
the farm according to agreement, and
will receive from the Governor of the
state certificate for patriotic services
or state badge of honor.
The hoe is an good an emblem of
patriotism as the bayonet, and the Gull
tivated fields are among the best am
munition plants in this state.

GOOD GOVERNMENT.


The People Themselves Are to Blame
II They Do Not Have II.
The story is told that at the time
Massachusetts was considering the
ratification Of the federal constitu-
ton Samuel Adams, the noble pioneer
Of American independence, was wayer-
ing In his support. The mechanics and
workinemen of Boston called INSET
ing at the old Green Dragon tavern
and passed resolutions earnestly urg-
ing that the constitution be ratified
and adopted. Those resolutions they
nut into the hands Of q brass founder
to be delivered to Mr. Adams.
"How many were present when
these resolutions were adoptedf" ask
ed Adams.
'.Nore, SIR, than the Green Dragon
would hold" said the sturdy mechanic.
"And where were the restT
''fn the street." replied the brass
founder.
That casts q significant side light on
that crucial period when we were en-
gagged In the task of bringing strength
out Of feebleness aud order out of
chaos by establishing national gov
srnment What could be more inter
esting than to see the mechanics Of
Boston solemnly considering and dis
cuasing the most remarkable docu-
ment, as 1t has been called, that any
s body OF men ever put forthf The
same serious and constant considers
ton Of matters of public concern by
the same class Of people is essential
20 every hour Of the existence Of the
government.
It is time that the responsibility for
bad men In Office. for invisible gov
ernment," for venal and corrupt prac-
tices in public servants, be put upon
those whose neglect Of duty enables
evil influences to control the election.
The better element Is always In the
majority in every community and can
always control the situation II it de-
eires to do so. When things get insup-
portably bad and the people are thor
oughly aroused, how quickly are de-
sirable changes brought about But
when the people seem to have disposed
Of the particular condition that thus
arouses them. they fall back into q
state Of indifference and let the SIMS
Ter influences have the field again.
Truly. eternal vigilance is the price
Of good government. We cannot find
or enjoy 1t through any other means.
Our blessed old republic was not franz
ed for laggards or towards, but for
brave men and women, ever and al
ways alive to the duties and obliga-
tons that rest upon them as citizens

FAVORED CONTROL OVER
RAIL SHIPMENTS

One of the strong supporters of the
bill recently passed by the Senate
authorizing the President to give pri-
ority of shipment to certain goods
over the railroads was Senator Phi
lander S. Knox of Pennsylvania. Mr..
Knox considers that the bill is right
in line with all the war legislation
passed at this session. He lays en-
phasis on the fact that the power can
be exercised only when "the public
security and defense" require, and it
is absolutely necessary that the Presi-
dent, who is charged with the man
agement of the country's resources
in time of war, should be granted that
power. THE discretion and the au
thority and the power to meet the
infinite possibilities of war;" declares
Senator Knox, must be lodged in the
commander-in-chief of the army and
navy, else we fight to no purpose"

ANTITRUST LAW
CHANGED

The amendments to several exist
ing laws OF the utmost importance
contained in the recently passed bill
to encourage export trade give that
measure too much of an omnibus
character to suit Congressman Niels
JUL of Illinois. He maintains that
if there is need for amending the Fed
eral trade commission act, the Clay
ton antitrust act, and the Sherman
antitrust act, the matter is OF sufi-
Gent importance to warrant the con-
sideration and passage of separate
bills in each instance, instead Of TAX
ing the teeth out of those three laws
by means of one bill. Mr.. JUL con-
siders it absurd to allow such acts
to remain on the statute books, and
then to write a law that utterly de-
stroys the meaning and intent of the
other acts" According to Mr.. JUL
the people should be honestly told on
the title pages Of separate bills that
IL Ii proposed to alter and amend one
OF our important statutes. instead of
misleading the public as in the pres
ent measure.
