Potatoes ROtting In Ground,
in Monmouth, Farmers Report

MATAWAN, Sept. 11:-The farm
ers of Monmouth county have exper-
fenced a great loss to their potato
crop due to the damp. humid wealth
er a short time ago which was fol-
lowed by q few exceedingly hot days.
This condition has caused their pota-
to crop to rot In the ground. 1t is
reported that several carloads ship
ped to market recently had to be
thrown into the dump as they were
unfit for food by the time they had
reached their destination.
The potatoes seemed to be all right
when loaded in the cars, but rotted
so fast that they were unstable by
the time they had reached the city.
Owing to this condition but very few
shipments of potatoes have been
made from some sections of the
county for the past ten days or more.
1t is claimed that rotten potatoes
| when in contact with good ones cause
the good ones to rot and 1t is urged
that the digging of potatoes stop for
the time being in order to let them
dry in the ground.

ReOpening of Vocational School

By STAFF Correspondent.
NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. Ii
Present indications according to
Clifford E. Parsll. director of the
county vocational schools, are that
number two vocational school in
Perth Amboy, which opens for the
new term next Monday will be taxed
to its full capacity, to accommodate
students in the various classes.
Fully seventy per cent Of former
students have signihed their inten-
tons of re-entering the classes this
year, n judging from the number
OF new students enrolled each fall,
the entire facilities of the school will
be required to accommodate the
classes.
Owing to weather conditions pro-
gress on the new Easton avenue
school in this city has been seriously
hampered, and for that reason the
opening date here is very indefinite.
he exterior of the new building
is complete n the plastering and
interior trimming is now being done.
The putting in place of machinery
and shop equipment will necessarily
require some time, but cannot be
started until after the building is
completed.
New class room furniture will be
installed, also a new printing press
and a new planer for the wood work.
ing department.
Tables for use in the drafting
room, filing cabinets and numerous
articles of equipment required for the
shops and class rooms, were started
during the last session and will be
finished by the students, after the
new school is complete.
Mr.. Parsil contemplates opening
classes for girls during the term, in
the building formerly used for the
boys school in New Brunswick, Re-
quests nave been made from time to
time for classes in domestic science
and the county n state boards have
approved Mr.. Parsils recommended
ton for such classes.
Cooking, sewing and academic
classes are proposed and will probably
be opened just as % as competent
instructors can be obtained, as the
county educational authorities believe
that type of training is just as essen
tial and necessary as the training now
being afforded the boys in the two
schools of the county.
