The Liberty Peach

AuC LIDETIy reach
The horticultural department of the
New jersey Agricultural Experiment
Station has ready for distribution a
limited number of trees of a new seed
ling peach, which has been named the
Liberty" Peach. 1t originated in the
experiment station orchard at New
Brunswick, as a chance Seeding of
Lola.
1t is perfect freestone, of medium
size, with white flesh. and ripens few
days before Carman. 1t is fully as
hardy as Carman, and of excellent
quality for such an early variety. The
fruit is round in form and of very at
tractive color. The tree makes a
strong, rapid growth in the nursery, a
characteristic that will undoubtedly be
fully as prominent in the orchard.
This variety has not been tested out
on commercial scale. but it is re.
garded as very desirable for the home
orchard and worthy of thorough trial
by the commercial peach grower. The
trees available this year will be dis
tributed by the county agents, eacl
county being limited to 30 trees
This means that each person desirin!
to try out this new variety must b,
limited to one tree and that the re
quests for trees will be filled in tn
order in which they are received unit
the supply is exhausted. The price 0
the trees will be so cents each, payabl
to the county agent when the order i
placed. If you want one of these tree
send or give your order to your count,
agent noeo as it is expected that TIL
demand will be far greater than tn
lsupply.

Urges New JERSEY Canal

A system of government-owned deep
sea level canals extending from Massa-
chusetts to the South Atlantic States
is recommended in report submitted
to the Senate by Secretary Redfield in
response to a resolution adopted last
May.
Such action would not only be OF
wide commercial value, but would be
of great military value as we'll, said
Secretary Redfield in letter ac-
companyiug the report. He added;
I'm the opinion Of the department
the time for action has come.
"The direct saving in the cost Of
transportation, would doubtless be
much greater than the costs of con.
struction and operation. The whole
country would benefit directly or in
directly as result of the consequent
reduction in the cost of manufactured
goods. sFhe military and naval value
OF the canals would seem OF itself to
warrant the expenditure required for
their construction.
Permanent acquisition by the federal
government of the Cape Cod and the
Chesapeake and Delaware canals and
their prompt improvement, as we'll as
the early construction across New
Jersey of sea-level canal is recon
mended. The Cape Cod Canal at pres
ent is being operated now by the
Railroad Administration.

Random Remarks

Eight defendants who were charged
with furnishing intoxicating liquor to
soldiers were before Judge Davis, in
the United States District Court on
Wednesday. In charging the jury in
one case, Judge Davis said he must
act with heavy hand in dealing with
persons convicted of the offence Of
serving, selling, or giving liquor t.
soldiers, and said he could hardly con
ceiye OF the consequences that would
follow an army demoralized by drink
The offenders, who were sent to the
workhouse, at hard labor, for from
three to eleven months, will have
plenty Of time to speculate over whal
drunken army might do. 1t is safe
to predict that they will not take an
other chance with the government
after they are released. The surprise i,
that any one should take the risk O
giving whiskey to soldier after 81
many have been detected and pun
ished. Trenton Times.

While on trip from Mount Holly
to Camp Dix with a load of soldiers
early Thursday morning, the automo-
bile of William Lutz, of Mount Holly
was struck by train at the North
Pemberton station. Lutz, who was
driving, escaped injury. but three of
the soldiers were severely injured They
we're taken to the Camp Dix base hos
pital. An investigation will be held to
determine responsibility for the acct
dent. There was fagman on duty
at the crossing, and some reports have
it that his warning signal was disre
garded Lutz was held by the Camp
Dix authorities for several hours and
was then turned over to the county
officers. He was released uuder $500
bail.
AS result of the injury of soldiers
and the narrow escape of others from
death in series of automobile ac-
cidents, due to overcrowding of jitneys
and the reckless speeding, military
authorities will probably make an ex-
ample1 of drivers responsible for acct
dents. Repeated warnings from the
military police have failed to curb the
carelessness of the jitneymen during
the rush hours, and the series of mis-
haps will force military and State
motor authorities to drastic action.
| While orders from Major General
Scott, commander of the camp, have
warned the iitneymen that they must
carry no more passengers than the
original seating capacity of their cars,
public ''fiivvers'' were speeding to
Trenton and other towns last week end
with 10 and II passengers and other
larger cars overcrowded in proportion.
Investigation showed that it is the
practice of this class of jitneymen tc
leave the military reservation with the
proper number of fares and crowd on
all the additional passengers for whom
there is iamming room inside the ca
or on the running boards, once outsid,
the reservation. Lack of State super
vision of the public cars operating OF
roads outside the camp is said by off
GERS at Dix to have'resulted in suddeI
reversion to the practice Of overcrowd
ed and lawless speeding In the shor
stretch of highway between Wrights
town and Georgetown alone during on
day four big cars have been wrecked
two of them turning turtle and crash
, ing through fences with almost mira
; culous escapes for the soldier passenger
from critical injuries.
