WOULD CURB, new
JERSEY GOVERNOR
Senator Arthur Whitney, of Nor
ris County, Proposes Check
on Appropriations Power.
SIGN BEFORE ADJOURNMENT.
Such a Measure Would Have the Effect
of Taking From Him Final Respon-
sibiIity for Appropriation
Of State Money.

Trenton-With a view to providing
an opportunity for the passage of the
annual appropriations bill over the
veto of the governor should such a
course be considered advisable, Sena-
tor Arthur Whitney of Norris county,
chairman of the Joint Appropriations
Committee, proposes TO introduce dur
ing the next session of the legislature
a bill requiring the governor to dis
pose of the appropriations bill at least
five days before final adjournment of.
the session Such a measure would
have the effect of taking from the gov
ernor the final responsibility for the
appropriation of state money by the
legislature.
Under the legislative procedure long
followed in New Jersey the appropria
lions bill, always the most important
law passed by the legislature, is left to
be the last measure passed, coming up
amid the confusion and hurry of the
dying hours of the session. The bill
then goes before the governor, who
can take his own time in considering it,
He has the power to veto any item he
sees fit, and there is no way to remedy
what mightbe vicious veto.
The Whitney plan, however, provides
that the appropriations bill be intro
duced week or two before final adj
iournment of the legislature each year
and sent to the governor in time to
give him opportunity to consider and
dispose of ii so as to get it back TO the
legislature five days before adjourn
ment The legislature then can re-
instate items the governor happened to
veto, If it is thought best TO do so, by
passing such items over the veto. Sen
ator Whitney believes the final authori-
~ over the appropriations bill should
rest with the legislature, body direct
ly representing the people, and not
with the governor

License Plates Gave Out.

All the agencies throughout the state
or the New Jersey Motor Vehicle De
partment are now supplied with
license plates for motor trucks. For
several days the Newark, Jersey City
and other New Jersey agencies were
without motor truck license plates,
but when it was pointed out TO Com

ship to motor truck owners he took
Immediate remedial steps.
The plate shortage came unexpect-
eddy and at. a time when all the facili-
ties of the state were engaged in max
ing the new plates for the 1920 L.
censes. 1t required several days to
make the changes necessary to re-
turn to the.making of 1919 motor truck
plates. but this was accomplished and
there is now ready for distribution an
adequate supply at all the agencies.
Exhaustion of the supply of 1919
motor truck license plates at this time
of the year was a thing we could not
foresee,' said Commissioner Dill
"Some of the larger agencies were
without them for few days, but as
soon as possible our machinery was
set in motion to make some more of
the needed plates.
I'VE are already well on the way in
the making of our 1920 license plates
of all classes. 1t will take every ounce
of energy TO complete the task by Jan
uary 1, but it will be done When reg
istrations begin December l for the
new year we will have at least 100000
pairs of plates in the hands of our
agents throughout New Jersey and in
New York"

No Cut in Festive Stew.

Oyster StewS and fries at from % to
30 cents in the small towns and up to
40 cents in the cities will furnish a
more filling and nutritious meal than
any other palatable food product and
at less cost, according to market quo
tations available on the opening of the
oyster season.
The advent of the oyster on the
menu has aroused even more public
interest than usual with the return
each season of the bivalye, due to the
high cost of meats and other foods
With labor high and other. expenses
heavy, there is little hope OF oysters
taking any considerable drop in price
this season, but planters and shippers
WHO sent out their boats for the first
dredging in the Maurice river cove say
they will hold their own as the cheap
est and best meat substitute.
Other ingredients of stews as well
as the oyster, have helped to boost
prices and frequenters of the oyster
houses fear that the day will never re
turn for '15 cent stews" and raws at
10 cents for six. Milk now costs from
u to Is cents a quart and oyster crack
ers, which few years ago sold for 10
cents pound, now cost % cents.
The weather is still too warm for
any big rush in the oyster market, and
while part of the big feet of 300 boats
started dredging, it will take frosty
nights and clear, sharp fall days TO put
the oysters in prime condition and also
TO put an edge on the consumers ap-

It Pays to Co-Operate

When the farmers of Madison county came to market their hogs the other day they were confronted with the question: Shall we take 12 cents per pound for our hogs, the highest price offered by local buyers?" The answer to this ques- ton came in the first cooperative sale Of hogs ever made in Madison county. Un- der 8 corn-fed guarantee IF hogs were purchased by a Tennessee buyer at from IA to 1874 cents per pound, according to the grade. This net price of 1874 cents is the highest record so far made in Alabama hog sales "Co-operative mar keting" is now a popular phrase around Huntsville, and the farmers are plan ming for another shipment at an early date, making use of the same successful method.
 Over in Pickens county the phrase "Co-operating Marketing has also De- come popular There their problem was sorghum, and the growers did not want I to turn it loose at 65 cents per gallon, the best price that could be secured To- cally, and so with the help of their county agent, they arranged for CO., operative shipment, each farmer tagging | his barrels of sorghum with his name, ] it's weight and grade.

 1917 shows how scattered the work of the

 neglected in this way and that what they
 needed was some one to superintend their

Profit From One Pig $5S7

Ample proof that pig clubs pay is contained in reports being received continually by the United States De- partment of Agriculture from club leaders. One report recently received tells of the success of a Tennessee boy who, in May 1918, invested $50 in a pure-bred gilt and now figures ms profits at S5S7.35. She farrowed seven pigs, part of which the boy sold for $133. With this money he purchased a boar of excellent breeding, which he exhibited at the East Tennessee Divis- ion Fair, winning the grand champion ship of the breed over all exhibits. He won $S7 in prizes, $45 of it in compet- tition with experienced farmers. His animals are now valued at $25. This with the money from sales and prize winnings, amounts to s745 from which he deducts $157.65 for care, leaving a profit of $5S7.35.

Bulletins on Cheese

When it became necessary to save meat last year, the American people both in town and country redlscoVered an old dish-cottage cheese. Its food value being nearly equal pound for pound with meat 1t was an invaluable aid in the conservation of meat. The continued use of this dairy product will be of permanent value for varying the diet and benefiting the health, and it is hoped it will not again drop into obscurity.

AllgoOd's S Farm Letter

The boil weevil and world war forced southern farmers into increased food production three years ago. Such a condition has helped to make the south self-sustaining and increased it's bank deposits many fold. As con icrete result Alabama alone has almost doubled her corn production ana more than doubled other feed and food crops lsuch as peanuts. velvet beans, peas and hay. and has developed her meat production in like proportion during lthat period. The fact is. Alabama has, lin almost one stride, stepped from de- Ipendence to independence and changed From a consuming to a producing state with her people living out or their own corn cribs and smokehouses.
 | Again a new condition confronts our farmers. which calls for immediate and concerted action. The attractive price of wheat is causing the farmers in the great cereal states to increase the acre. Iage of this crop and to discard corn acreage They are going into wheat production on a mammoth scale. what ldoes this mean? It simply means that the supply of corn and oats will be cut lshort this fall. It means higher price for these products another season. It means also that the south will pay dearly for her breadstuffs and feed- stuffs another year, if her farmers are not farseeing enough to produce sui hcient corn, oats, beans and peanuts to meet their own demands. If the farmer neglects everything for cotton, it means calamity to the country generally, but big money to the men that have corn for sale. Let's play safe this season and grow sufficient food and feed crops to meet the worldwide shortage of food and feedstuffs on ac- count of the world war.

Demonstration Agents

The home demonstration agent has her critics as well as her warm allies. So has the county farm demonstrator, but we know that it is not the fault of the institution if good results are not obtained through these agents If they fail it is either because they are unfit for the position or because the people they work among are hopeless Ny indifferent to the aid that is offered them. A patriotic work on the part of the home demonstration and the work of Polk county. oregon. resulted in the saving of several hundred dollars that went into Liberty Bonds, The agent taught the housewives to make for themselves. at small expense. such household helps as fireless cookers, ice- less refrigerators and stove fruit differs.

Sudan Grass Silage.

The past season We sowed six acres to Sudan grass and tried a new expert ment with us of making slage of it. It was largely fed to beef cattle but we keep two horses at that barn and you should see those horses go after it. am wondering if anyone has had much experience with it in the silo. We are so well satisfied we expect to fill at least two silos with it and feed it to the 90 head of horses we keep on the place. It is a very cheap crop to grow and cutting with a grain binder it is very easily and quickly handled. Am passing this along in hopes of hearing from oth- CTS who may have had experience with it.-C.

ALABAMA IN THE BROOM GAME

Broom making in some of the southern
 states is being encouraged by the home demonstration agents of the United States department of agriculture and the state colleges. The home clubs in Ala bama rank first in this work and in the past year some especially good records have been made in the state. The crowd which attends one ofithese broom making demonstrations is such as to make the passer-by think an auction is being held in that particular yard.
 Tuscaloosa countyA Alabama, grows broom corn with an Unusually good brush and broom making has become so popular in that section that all the club members Who didn't grow a patch last year are planning to do so this coming season. A
 broom-making machine has been bought by one community in the county and other localities have ordered machines for use next summer. With machine, p brooms can be made in one day. Each member makes her, own brooms and gives fourth of her output for use of the machine.
 COST OF BROOM The cost of making a broom in that
 part of the state is estimated to be 20 cents, with the wire thread, tacks and handle costing about 121a cents. Good hickory handles cost s cents apiece, while those of other woods cost cents. In the near future Tuscaloosa county plans to manufacture the broom handles in- stead of buying thema

Poultry Yields S1.14 Hour

A sideline for the farmers wife which yields s1.14 for every hour She puts into it is worth the consideration of every farm woman. A Wabash county, Indiana, woman has demon strated that this amount can be mace by keeping chickens Last year the local county agent interested this woman in keeping a farm poultry flock, and as a result she produced a net profit of s172.24. She kept an ac curate account of her work and found at the end of the season that she had received $1.14 an hour for the time she actually devoted to caring for her flock.

Farm and home work loses drudgery and becomes an interesting game TOT boys and girls as a result Of the cluo work organized by the United States de- partment of agriculture and the state col legeS. These clubs set standards or achievement in home activities and dig nifty common labor Boys and girls, both rural and urban, in the clubs have their point of view changed so they want to make further preparation and study Tn the business of farming and home mak- ing The work is as permanent as the public school system because it is. backed by permanent institutions, state and fed- eral, and is definite part of the coop erative extension programme in every state in the union.
 THINGS CLUB WORK DOES Club work socializes community life through the boys and girls and gives young people a real motive in all their work. They are trained through it for community leadership and cooperative work of every kind and are taught that it is infinitely better to be proprietor of farm land, farm animals, machinery. crops or kitchen equipment, than to be ;i mere wage earner. The state and na- tional governments in 1918 employed sSo club leaders to superintend the boys and lgirls club work in the counties and states. while several hundred more were .enl- pIoyed during the summer. An average of 10 projects state was conducted dur ing the past year under the supervision 1 of the club organization.
