Timely Topics for Farmers


In the February news letter of the
Burlington County Farm Bureau, of
which b. F. Keil is the new superin-
tendent, there are a number of timely
items of interest to farmers. The fol-
lowing are some of them:
FARM LABOR SUPPLY
We quote in part letter just re-
ceived from Lewis T. Bryant, commits
sioner of labor, Trenton. 81 would
like to urge upon the farmers of your
county the advisability of making APP
plication to the employment service
for men at as early date as may be pos
sible. At this time we have number
of excellent applicants for work and
are unable to make any placements
whatever. Full information as to the
type of men referred to, their general
experience and capabilities can be Sc
cured by applying to Jos. Spitz, direc-
tor of employment, gil Franklin
street, Newark.
POULTRY DEPARTMENT
Professor II. r. Lewis advises us that
the poultry department of the New
Jersey Agricultural Experiment Sta.
ton will have for sale a considerable
number of White Leghorns and Barred
Rock Matching eggs during the coming
spring. A limited number of White
Leghorn baby chicks will also be for
sale during certain periods this spring.
All poultry keepers interested in inn
proving the quality of their stock
should write to Prof. Lewis for prices.
SEED CORN
Have you any seed corn to sell? We
have a number of inquiries at the of
fice-better call or write for informa-
ton at once.
| SEED CORN TESTING
Prof. John p. Helyar, state seed an.
alyst, advises that for the best results
it is absolutely essential to test your
seed corn. He states-''in view of the
somewhat unfavorable conditions for
best maturity last season and the ne
cessity of eliminating so far as possible
all elements Of chance in making the
| 1918 CROP" it is necessary to do this.
You can have the envelopes for mail
ing samples for test at the state seed
laboratory forwarded directly from New
Brunswick or else secure them from
this Office. Prof. Helyar recommends
the following plan of procedure: TAKE
the butt, from the middle and 2 ker
nels from below the tip, each of the
two in each case being taken from op
posite sides of the ear. 1t would bt
well to number the ears and samples
with corresponding numbers"
HOG PRODUCTION
eff hog production is to keep pace
with the expansion in supplies of feed
we must have an increase of at least Il
per cent. in the number of hogs within
the ensuing year." SO states a repor
from the United States Department 0
Agriculture. The following are fiv
mighty good reasons why it is goo
business to raise more hogs during 1915
l. There is a de orease in the mum
Der of hogs in this country.
2. There is an increase in graf
feeds.
3. There is strong demand fc
pork products and this is CONSTANT
i increasing.
4. Hogs furnish meat and fat NOR
: quickly and more cheaply than otht
< meat animals.
5. More pork is handled by th
e packers in this country than all oth'
e meats combined.

One of the laws that has been passed
by the present Legislature will make
some persons get busy, provided, of
course, that it is enforced. 1t provides
that men between the ages of IS and
so must work. The intention of the
law is to get after the fellows who do
not want to work, and will not do il
If they can avoid such procedure
There are some of this class in Mount
Holly. Some of them are too old to
be sent to war to aid the country and
they are not willing to take the places
of men who have gone to camps in
order that they may be of service to
their country. There have been those
who have been designated ''sIackers'
because they appeared to want to keep
from going to war, but the term may
be properly applied to the other class
that hangs around and will not do
days work. Among those who have
wanted to keep out of the army have
been some who claimed to have parents
dependent upon them, but in the
"workless' we came near saying
worthless class there are those who
do not hesitate to depend upon doting
parents. If Governor Edge issues the
proclamation that is required to en-
force the compulsory labor law, there
will be number around here who
will get caught.

Random Remarks.

A number of drafted men have gone
to Camp Dix during the last week, and
there are others to follow In the
crowd were some who were "slackers"
and whose advent in the camp will be
something that those who have known
OF the cases will greet with joy. But
the term Stacker" must not always
be conferred on the man who has held
back, for il has frequently turned out
that he has not been to blame. There
are one or two cases now in mind
which show that the parents of men
have done everything in their power to
keep the latter out of the army
although the boys have themselves
been willing and anxious to serve their
country. These instances have not
been where the young men have been
physically unfit for they have been in
the pink of perfection.

Charley Bacon, who writes a letter
to the Philadelphia Record regularly
every Monday and during the week
occasionally, is one of the most versa
tile correspondents on the list. The
politics of the Record are well known
to be of the most violent Democratic
sort and Charley has more than once
shown his sympathies in the same di-
rection. He was appointed to a good
position by Republican Governors but
when it looked as if the Democrats
were about to return to power he went
back to his old loye-if in fact he ever
left it-and he could not see any good
in the Republican party. When Pres
ident Wilson was elected Governor,
the correspondent lauded the chief ex-
ecutive to the skies as the man who
was dominating the entire state as no
other man had ever done and showed
what extraordinary good had been the
result. In his letter yesterday Charley
seems to have discovered that there lis
another" Speaking of Governor Edge
he says of the latter: mot in modem
time has New Jersey Executive en-
joyed such grip upon the law-mak-
ing mechanism" This may be con
strued in several ways. Possibly Gov
ernor Wilson did not live in the desig-
mated modern times" Bacon never
tired of telling how the latter con-
trolled the Legislature, but maybe Mr..
Wilson did not "enioy" it. Or posi-
bly, Bacon has been induced to get a
different opinion of things with the
probable election to the secretaryship
of the new bridge commission in sight.
Several communities are arranging
for special elections to vote on the SUBJ
ject of local option, but the general
feeling is that the subject can be easily
handled at the general election. 1t is
not generally understood that each
municipality settles this question fol
itself, many thinking that an election
must be held in the county. That is
not so. One township may decide tC
hold an election and all the others may
take different view of the matter. In
looking over the list there are found to
be many townships that do not have
hotels in their territory. The follow
ing are in this county: Burlington
township, Bordentown township, Del
ran, Eastampton, Mount Laurel, Penn
berton township, Riverton borough

Educational circles seem to have
been attracting more than usual at
tention lately, and the State Depart
ment has been shown to be not above
criticism. An investigation by com
mittee from the Legislature has revealed
the fact that there has been much sit
ting in the Trenton offices without
much outside work. Inspection of
certain departments of schools seems
to have been considered absolutely I'M
necessary unless special request was
made for such action. The gentleman
who has been in charge of watching
the building of school houses has dis
covered that at least IS per cent. of the
architects who design buildings are in
competent yet the schools have been
allowed to go up just the same. Bur
lington city not long since put up a
building, nice to look at on the out
side. 1t is presumed that the state in
spector was on the job when the work
was going on but it has suddenly de-
veloped that the building is not safe
and it has been condemned. When it
was erected the idea was that some day
an additional story could be added but
when this was brought up for consider
alton within short time the men
who were expected to do the work de
cided that it would not be safe to carry
out the plans.

me to get around. 1t was almost i'm
possible for me to get out of bed
mornings, as was SO stiff and lame.
Doan's Kidney Pills relieved me Of
