MAURICE RIVER COVE is a wonderful

MAURICE RIVER COVE is a wonderful
1Pl sea farm of 10000 watery acres.
1t is surveyed and laid out into plots.
The State is the landlord. Formerly it
charged fifty cents an acre rent to it's ten
ants. the oyster planters. This year it is
seventy five cents per annum per acre.
1t is on these marvrlously fertile acres
that the oysters are planted The crop is
sowed and reApcd at depth of from ten to
twenty feet. Some acres are more fertile
than others. They grow crops more rapidly.
1t requires anywhere from two to six
years, according to location, for oysters to
reach maturity.
Seed oysters are obtained up the bay.
The seed beds are protected by the Com
monwealth.
The tiny seed oysters are gathered, car
ried down and spread by thousands of bush
els over the watrry acres of the cove.
God help the Oysterman who violates
State rules relating to the plant.
Inspectors visit every boat. If more than
10 per cent per bushel of "shcl." the rock
TO which the young oysters attach them
selves, Is found the Oysterman is fined an
unheard- of sum aud his boat cOnfscated and
sold.
To Jersey lightning" and Jersey justice
add Jersey oyster laws.
EQUALLY drastic is the punishment
~ dealt out TO those who pollute the
waters of the cove.
A sCHvPnger boat makes the rounds of the
oyster fleet every day and collects drainage,
garbage and refuse. Not bit of this goes
over the side.
A State Board of Health chemist tests
the water 10 discover the slightest indica-
tions Of impurity.
The oyster men howled to high heaven
when these rules were promulgated
They double damned DR.. Harvey Wiley,
the Washington scientist, who, In the inter
est of public health, forced them upon the
oystermen.
LIVERY boatload of oysters dredged-
IL they call It ''drudged" at Bivnlve--is
''foated' in Maurice River This fattcns
the oysters.
They are dumped into floats and after.
ward forked into scows and taken to the
wharves. where, under great shed roofs.
they are counted, packed in bags. tagged
and trucked into the waiting freight cars.
ONE railroad. the Central Of New Jersey,
" hauls no passenger trains on it's Bi-
valve branch; nothing but oysters.
Two oyster trains n day are run during
the season Often the trains are so large
that they are made up as "dOuble headers" :.
l. g., requiring two engines.
An average Of 1000 cars Of oysters a month
IL shipped from Maurice River and RynIye
by the PENNSYLVANIA and the Central RoiI
road Of New Jersey in the season.
Seventy five cars a day, 100 bags 10 n
car and 1000 oysters to n hag, at 81 n hum
dred indicates that one days shipment of
the Maurice River oyster crop amounts to
S75, 900.
The height of the oyster season il reacbed
in December. After that there is a decline
In the demand. The public appetite becomes
pretty well sNted by early spring.
This promises TO be hne season for the
oysterman.

LABOR DAY IS
 PROCLAIMED BY
 GOVERNOR CAMPBELL

PHOENIX. Aug. 3l-Monday. Sep tember ,. was designated as Labor Day in 2 proclamation issued today by Governor Thomas E Campbell.
 The provision of the law for an nnal observance of Labor Day. as legal holiday" said the proclamation. 'is one. the wisdom of which. be- comes apparent more and more as the years go by Not only is it eminentiy appropriate that there be set apart one day dedicated to labor and its achievements. but it must be appar- ent to all thoughtful citizens thaht se- rious consideration and study should be given to the problems which are constantly demanding solution in the interest of those who toil With this i'll mind. it is evident that Labor Day assumes the aspect distinct from the  ordinary holiday. In addition to being day upon which homage is paid to labor. both manual and mental, it should and can become an occasion and opportunity for serious study by all our citizens of the great question arising out Of the relations between t.e erp!oye and employer
 The proclamation recommends and suggests that fitting and appropriate exercise be held to commemorate the occasion at which the people of this station may give due recognition of this commonwealth and serious con sideration. accorded to the great prob lem of bringing about better under standing between these two factors so essential and vital b material and moral advancement

cArrlEMEN ALLOWED TO DECEMBER 1ST. TO
 PAY RANGE FEES

TUCSON, Aug. 31.- Stockmen with range allotments on government re- serve land will learn with relief that . further postponement of the pay ment Of range fees uneil December 1 has been allowed.
 This will come as a great boon to d majority of cattlemen as they will Le given an opportunity to dispose of their fall steers before being required 10 meet the range payment to the gov ernment
 Announcement that the bill calling for further postponement had passed both the senate and lower house and has received the signature of the pres. ident. was received by the Tucson for cstry office late yesterday afternoon
 Because of the numerous inquiries from cattlemen of this section. who were yitally interested in the passage o: the bill. an inquiry concerning it was wired to the forestry office at Al buquerque. The answer was received to the effect that the bill had receiv- i'd the presidents signature Monday evening.
 The payment of government range fees are normally due March 1 Be- cause of the difficulties under which catt'ement have been operating. due to drouth and slack market. the pay ment of fees was first postponed until September l. As the situation of the cattlemen is little changed from their spring status. the bill calling for an additional three months delay was in. troduced. backed solidly by the influ- ence of the cattle associations i As this charge for cattle grazing amounts 10 anywhere from sl to sl.5O a :. head per year. according to the class of range, many of the stockmen, who are long on cattle. but distress. ingly short on money. would have fac. | ed an embarrassing situation had the government demanded payment 70: ! fees by September 1. With a three months postponement. together with excellent grass with which all ranges of these sections are covered, the stOckmen should be able to meet their obligation to the government by De | cember 1 without any undue burden upon themselves.
