Miss NJ Ellen Alden of this town,
one of ours exceedingly efficient lady
farmers carries on a 500-acre estab-
Hshment successfully, keeping the
same fine herd of Jerseys and Hol-
stems for which her father, Rutillus
Alden was famous. The barns are
large and electric lighted and every
day large quantities of milk go to the
creameries and milk distributors. In
the orchard are 500 trees which bear
an abundance of winter fruit for the
markets. Last fall Miss Alden saw
fruit of first quality selling for 50 IA
barrel when she had paid s11O for
the container and $3.50 a day to
the pickers and packers Many of
her apples she had to sell to the
Gamers despite the fact that CITY
buyers could obtain only second rate
fruit at the retail stores. and scarce
at that.
Miss Alden believes that organiza-
ton will, in part. solve the agricul-
tural problem She says the farm
ers in the West are organizing to
their own advantage and the move
ment is beginning to spread in the
East. Miss Alden this season is
growing eight acres of corn, half in
ensilaSe and half j.: sweet corn for
the canning factory. Her plum or
chard is fruiting well. Her score of
sheep will bring her in addition to
her store of wool from last years

sell at loss when the market was
fiat Her Rhode Island hens, so egg
layers and about 100 chicks, furnish
her and the family with all the
poultry and eggs they need and she
, sells some to the market Five
horses and two bulls supplement her
/ stock and she raises this year six
acres of oats. With price for farm
labor only so cents a day less than
last year, Miss Alden does not ex-
, pect to see any gold mine on her
