FARMERS MEET
Much Business Transacted at
Association Session
Bu Special Correspondent.

By Special Correspondent.
JAMESBURG, Oct. 23:-The an
nual meeting of the South Middlesex
Farmers Association was held at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. G. ID. Brill at
the Forsgate farm Tuesday night. A
half dozen ladies graced the occasion
by their. presence and took part in
the numerous topics discussed.
The resignation of Charles Van
MUS, former superintendent of the
New Jersey College Farm at New
brunswick, as president of the asso-
Ci9tion was accepted after he was
chosen to that office. His determine
alton to leave New Jersey for a
longer working year. as he termed it
was the reason.
Professor John p. Hellyer, seed
analyst at the New Jersey Expert
mental College, New Brunswick, was
chosen to succeed Mr.. Van MUS. The
other officers named were: H. G.
Brown, Jamesburg, vice president;
John Vohman, Jamesburg, secretary
treasurer. These last two were re-
named and the association extended
to Mr.. and Mrs. Vohman free dues
and other expenses attached to the
social side of the activities of the
association.
Through Fl. c. Brown the road
committee made a report on the pro-
posed roa that the association Sc
cured the promise for the freehold
ers to have laid. The committee said
that a small piece had been put down
but that there yet remained a larger
portion of the county between Gran
bury and South River to be i'm
proved.
President Hellyer decided that the
association take the matter up again
with the taxpayers along the route
of the roadway and that an open
meeting be called and that the asso-
citation get in touch with the CHAM
Der of Commerce of South River to
agitate for the immediate completion
of the road. Frederick Reed was
named chairman of the committee to
agitate this new road and II. c..
Brown and John VanAken were
named additional members of the
road committee.
A report was received telling that
a company had proposed the erection
of a potato -four mill in this section
but that the rumOr had spread
about that South Middlesex county
did not grow enough potatoes. This
was very untrue as this section has
In the past w years far outstripped
even Monmouth county in tonnage.
The association will get in touch with
NtO toA ~ u" ne AhlS PtOJtCl III
mind and go over the proposition
with them.
Lots of Dull" was also injected in
ito the meeting and was the topic for
a general discussion as to just what
to do with the bull that the associa-
ton have In their possession. Three
years ago the association, through
Howard letters, of the WaIker-Gor-
don Dairy, had presented a register
ed bull from Massachusetts. AS it
was not the strain generally popular
in this section the animal became a
care instead of q benefit to the farm
ers. The association appointed q
committee to dispose of the bull and
look into the question as what to do
with the money received from its
sale.
The social committee, Of which
John VanAken is chairman, were in
structed to arrange for the annual
banquet and hold several dances
during the coming winter months.
A vote of thanks was extended Mr..
and Mrs. Brill for the hospitality ex-
tended.
