Abandoned Farms Fast Fading Away
in Cape May County

There are many new residents
ing into Cape May County and taking
up the farms which have been par
TALLY or wholly abandoned. 1t is en-
couraging to see that Cape May
County is on the road to Wellville and
is going strong. The seashore resorts
are expanding very rapidly and the
inland with it's agriculture is likewise
expanding, not only in numbers of new
acres titled, but in improved cultural
methods.
The new residents are coming from
as far West as North Dakota and as
neal East as Cumberland County. The
most notable development in agricul-
tural improvement is in the taking up
of the old sugar cane plantation tract
of 1900 acres at Rio Grande by Will
liam B. Souders, of Bridgeton. Under
the management of Mr.. Souders, this
tract, which has laid idle for years,
is now being put under intensive Gull
tivation and is growing at this writing
several hundred acres of peas, onions,
cabbage, and other truck crops. Such
enterprises should be given all the
local support possible, as they are big
steps toward putting Cape May
County's agriculture on the high level
that it rightfully deserves.
Tips for New Residents
Some of the new residents in Cape
May County might not know that the
Office of Farm Demonstration has for
distribution, free of charge, bulletins
on nearly every agricultural subject.
These will be sent when asked for.
1t is also possible to be put on the
Experiment Station mailing list for
new bulletins as they are issued. For
instance, "Hints to Poultrymen," a
monthly publication, will be sent reg
ularly after you get on the poultry
list. Other than poultry subjects are
being studied by the various expert
ment station specialists, and you can
have their findings by writing to ]. A.
~Stackhouse, Country Agricultural
Agent, Cape May Court House. Be
sure to state the subject or subjects
in which you are interested.
Last, but not least, you will do well
to subscribe to at least one county
newspaper, so that you will be cog
infant of all that goes on in the county
at all times. A county paper is not
merely helpful, but pleasant; it is
necessary.
New Freight Service to New York
Already in Operation
Instead of waiting until June 1st,
as planned, the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railroad has extended it's first
class freight service so that it is avail
able to shippers at once. At the recent
Board of Agriculture meeting, held at
Dennisville, to discuss railroad SER
vice, several farmers voiced the opin-
ion that buyers of produce would be
the next thing to work for after the
train service was secured. 1t looks
as though these remarks were over
heard and the wishes of the farmers
answered, for in the Tuckahoe section
one buyer, Mr.. Howard, is advertising
that he will be at the Tuckahoe sta
ton after July LIST to buy produce from
the farmers. OF course, this statement
does not insure anything for the
farmer this year, but it shows what
good train service to the big markets
will do if the farmers will raise nro-

New Ship Signals for Use in Foo.

Most ship collisions in fog are due
to the difficulty in detecting the exact
direction that the whistle and bell
signals come from. A veteran sea cap
tain has devised a new method to
overcome this.
He uses four signal horns of differ
ent tones, two sirens, a steam whistle
and a steam gong, all operated by foot
levers. Each of these corresponds to
one of the cardinal points of the COM
pass, and is sounded in a fog only
when the ship is headed in hat direc-
ton.

DECISIVE VICTORY
 WON BY WALTON,
 RETURNS REVEAL
Farmer-La Anti-KIan Can- didate Has Lead of 20, 1000
 Votes Over Nearest Opponent
By Associatcd Pross

Oklahoma City, Okla. August B. Victory by a decisive pluarality for Mayor J. c. Walton of Oklahoma City. farmer-labor and anti-Ku Klux Klan candidate in the three. cornered race for the democratie nomination for governor in Oklaho- ma was indicated tonight on unof- ficial returns from Tuesdays state wide primary.
 With but 705 out of the states 2.s37 precincts still to report, Wal ton had lead of slightly more than 25,000 votes over his nearest op- ponent, R. H. Wilson, state super intendent of public instructions, who received the backing the Ku Klux.
 Both of walton's opponents have conceded defeat. Wilson admitted the mayors nomination today, and Thomas H. Owen, former supreme court justice, conceded he was out of the running Wednesday.
 Mayor Walton will be opposed in November by John Fields of Okla homa City, editor of an agricultural paper, the republican nominee, Fields, who did not even make campaign, still maintained 12 to lead over George Healey Of Beaver.
 Victory for Catholics
 The nomination of Mayor Walton, in the view of newspapers and politicial observers, was an over whelming victory for the Roman Catholics of the state combined with the farmer labor reconstruction league, with a platform em. odying many of the principles of the na- tional Partisan league and union labor organizations.
 In a statement given today to the Associated Press, Rev. J. F. McQuire, chancellor of the Oklahoma diocese of the Catholic church, declared that the church in Oklahoma had opposed

How To crow Turnips
 Alabama stands among the first three states In the union in point of acreage planted annually to turnip; yet, not half of the people who plant turnips succeed in producing first class turnips. You can hear on every hand the question: Why can't raise turnips like I see for sale in the market places? Every one can if they will only observe simple and sen sible cultural directions. Tn the first place, turnips will not develop bulbs in hard soil and poor situations, neither will they do so when sown as thick as the average custom and left unthinned. Turnips may be grown broadcast if ground is not foul, and if rich, thoroughly prepared. and sown at the rate of two pounds or less seed to the acre. Better tur- nips may be grown in drills, requi-- ing only one pound of seed to the acre. and if they are promptly thin red out. gradually to one plant every four to six inches and cultivated, you may confidently expect both fine tops and roots. Even when grown only for salad, the plants should not be overcrowded. Rich. deep, loose soil, thorough and frequent cultiva-

We would never have taken part in this campaign as an organ ization had we not been compelled to defend ourselves.

One ThtnE Well Done
 Most every man or woman can do some one thing well but 1t takes a genius or well balanced person to do many things well. rho writer recent ly visited farmer who is possessed of considerable reputation as a breeder of fine poultry. This mau could talk for hours on hereditary, progeny, blood, ancestry, races. breeding, etc., and could give you the history of every fowl on the place. l am not much interested in chickens but let it be known that l would like to look over his farm After about an hours tramp he asked me what I thought of his farm. told him that if he had applied tho same principles to his farm op- erations that he had practiced with his chickens, that he would be a rich man. He readily agreed that blood will tell in cotton, corn, melons and fruit, yet he had utterly overlooked 1t, in the general farm management, with disastrous consequences. This Is the explanation why so many farmers meet with indifferent sue cess. A hobby Is a good thing to have, but too frequently 1t develops into bad habit. and all must agree that habit controls the destiny of mankind.

Advice

Because advice Is cheap and al-
 ways freely available, but few ever place much confidence in 1t. Advice Is good thing and often extremely valuable, but it Is only valuable to those who have enough common sense to apply or those who have brains enough to sift out the good from the bad. The trouble with most people, they are unable to recognize competent from incompetent advice; nor Is this confined to the ignorant and uneducated, because often, the educated are the biggest fools when it comes to the exercise of just plain common sense. I have had highly educated men come to me and discuss for an hour the spraying of their shrubbery and fruit, then turn right around and take some old darixy's advice or maybe some high brow's with disastrous results. have known men during my drug store experience to consult highly competent phy- sicians about their ailments, pay big fee, and turn right around and buy the most shameful patent med icine fraud highly advertised as a remedy for their ailment. Take all the advice you may, but let your con clusion rest on mature judgment, which after all, Is just plain common sense.

PRESIDENT TO ACT WITH FORCE
 IN MINE STRIKE
Ultimatum Delivered To
 Operators and Miners . Concerning Arbitration.

Washington. July 10 - Secretary Davis on behalf of the government, it was learned, read to the joint con ference before it's adjournment a pro- posal that committee of SIX opera tors and six miners be appointed to outline districts in the bituminous IS coal area in which negotiations could be set up between the United Mine Workers and the operators. the gov ernment assuming responsibility for differences which could not be nego- tiated. It was evident that both sides had found the proposition inaccepta- ble.
 President Harding, Y was learned from a White House visitor, has in mind a definite offer of government arbitration and was prepared to de- vote unlimited tirae and effort to bring about a method of settlement. Failing in this the Waite House caller said. the president had deter mined to take strong measures to bring about the mining of coal.
 The government prepared today to put it's own plan of settlement of the bituminous coal strike before repre- sentatives of operators and miners who reconvened in the conference held at the call President Harding.
 The two cabinet members partici- pated in a conference with the Presi- dent following it's preparation. but the text formulated was held entirely confidential. There was an impres- sion that the President would tender arbitration on some basis.
