Fall Planting of Trees

Is it best to plant fruit trees in the
fall or in the spring, is an old ques-
ton which is asked every year. And
like many agriculture queries, it AN
not be answered in a word. The an
swer depends upon the kind of fruit
and the locality in which it is to be
planted.
Cherries make their growth early
in the season and then stop for the
year. When set late in spring they
not only fail to make much growth,
but a considerable percentage are
likely to die. Fall planting is there
fore advised for this fruit. Apples
and peaches, however, may make a
late fall growth in the nursery If
weather conditions happen to be
favorable, but if transplanted late
and severe weather quickly follows,
some winter injury can be expected.
In districts where the frost heaves the
soil in winter, fall planted trees may
be so loosened and thrown upward that
the roots dry freeze and the trees are
dead when spring comes.
Soil and climatic conditions in CEN
trail and southern New Jersey are
much more favorable for fall planting
than in localities farther north. The
surface of the soil seldom freezes I'M
til after November first, and the sandy
loans remain in a mellow, workable
condition. This often permits OF
planting well ripened trees under
favorable conditions.
Don't forget these two precautions
in fall planting, however. Never sci
trees in soil so wet and sticky that j.
packs into Jumps and clods, and don't
fail to pack dry soil very firmly about
the roots. Air spaces left about the
roots either because the soil is too
wet and lumpy or too dry are almost
certain to result in dead trees.

NEW JERSEYS FRUIT
New York Is a Great Market For
Our Products

At this time when we are agitating
better distribution of New Jersey
fruits it is worth while really to know
what the New York market means TO
New Jersey fruit growers.
In 1917, of the 1920 cars of peaches
unloaded at New York, 1,1O7 ere
from New Jersey, 1,1O1 from Georgia
and GIG from New York. The II
States where the number OF peach
trees have been reduced some "a mil
lions from 1910 to 1920 only shipped
80 cars to New York that season.
In 1919, 1895 cars of peaches were
unloaded, of which 2,059 were from
Georgia, 8S1 from New Jersey and
349 from New York. Texas shipped
only II cars to New York that season
and the other 10 States previously
mentioned were hardly a factor in the
New York market.
From 1916, to 1919, inclusive, there
were unloaded at New York annually
from 1895 to 1885 cars of peaches,
exclusive of quantities hauled thereby
trucks from New Jersey. During the
same period only 929 to 1857 cars OF
peaches were unloaded annually in the
great city of Chicago, and at Wash
ington, d c., the nations capitol, less
than 100 ears were unloaded per year
A total of from $50 to LOO cars OF
peaches means from 10000 to 450,
900 crates or bushels of peaches ex.
elusive of shipments by truck. A
market well worth keeping. And il
is easy to see where u heaviest com
petition comes from.
The Apple Situation
The number of car of apples un'
loaded annually at New York from
1916 to 1919 ranged from 1896 Il
1886 cars. The nine western States
which show a reduction of approx
mately "a million bearing apple tree.
from 1910 to 1920 shipped less thai
100 ears to Ne York in any yea
during that period.
In 1917 a total of 1896 cars of ap
pies were unloaded at New York. o
these 1905 cars were from New York
1,401 from New Jersey, Ito iron
Washington and 468 from Virgins
and Delaware.
The heavy reduction in the humble
of bearing apple trees reported in tn
1920 census does not occur in tn
States that are prominent factors i
the New York market and it is diff
cult to see where New Jersey grow
eds can "take it easy" or "rest o
their oars" The New York marke
is a big asset and appears to b
worth some Intensive cultivation"

A MIDWINTER DAY

| watch the snowflakes as they fall
On bank and brier and broken wall;
Over the orchard, waste and brown,
All noiselessly they settle down,
Tipping the apple-boughs, and each
Light quivering twig Of plum and
peach.
On turf and curb and ~bower-roof
The snowstorm spreads its ivory
wool;
1t paves with pearl the garden-walk,
And lovingly round tattered stalk
And shivering stem its magic weaves
A mantle fair as lily leaves.
The hooded beehive, small and low,
Stands like a maiden in the snow;
And the old door-slab is half hid
Under an alabaster lid.
All day it SHOWS; the sheeted post
Cleans in the dimness like a ghost;
All day the blasted oak has stood
A muffled wizard of the wood;
Garland and airy cap adorn
The sumach and the wayside thorn,
And clustering spangles lodge and
shine
In the dark tresses of the pine.
The ragged bramble, dwarfed and old,
Shrinks like a beggar in the cold;
In surplice white the cedar stands,
And blesses him with priestly hands.
But in my inmost ear is heard
The music of a holier bird;
And heavenly thoughts, as soft and
white
As snowlakes, on my soul alight,
Clothing with love my lonely heart,
Healing with peace each bruised part,
Till all my being seems to be
TRANSPORTED by their purity.

FOLLOWING THE SIGN POSTS IN
NEW JERSEY

The New Jersey State Highway
Commission has begun to mark all
State routes with painted bands of
different color combinations on tele-
graph poles. The work is being done
under the direction of T. j. Wasser,
State Highway Engineer.
The first route marked is the White
Horse Pike from Camden to Absecon,
designated as Route No. 3 on the
State system Yellow with a marrow
border of white is the combination
used. Other routes + being marked
rapidly.
The plan is to mark north and south
routes in blue; east and west routes In
red: northwest and southeast routes
in yellow, and northeast and south
west routes in brown.
at was originally intended to mark
all diagonal routes in yellow" said
Mr.. Wasser, in explaining the plan
"Rut this would not prove satisfac-
tory, especially at Camden, because
routes No. 2 and No. 6 are diagonal
routes as well as No. 3, and 1t IS 10
avoid confusion in the marking thai
the brown has been added to the
original list.
"The system of marking is this
Every fifth or sixth pole is to be
marked on straightaway sections OF
the route. Near each turn two poles
in succession will be banded denoting
n turn at the next intersection. Upon
marking the turn the motorlst VII
find two more poles banded"
In addition to the States routes
the color marking is continued thrt
the various cities as has been done II
Camden where the yellow bands star
Mt the ferries and continue to the city
| line and along Route No. 3 to Absecon
II is expected that this system Will be
of great value to motorists.

THE VAMPIRE WHO NEVER GREW
OLD.

A LITTLE French girl born In l6lo
"A had read Montague at ten, and
showed signs of beauty no less remark
able than her intelligence. At thirteen
she assured a priest who lectured her
for misbehavior that all religion was
Imagination, and intimated that they
both knew it was not to be taken serl-
ously. At fifteen she was enjoying the
favor of Richelieu and we have the
word of Voltaire that The was her hrst
lover, and she was probably his last
mistress"
This girl was Ninon de L'Enclos,
who grew to be the most celebrated
woman of her age. At twenty-three
she had accumulated a small fortune,
and throughout the remainder Of her
%eighty-nine years she helped to shape
the destinies of men and nations. Anne
Of Austria, queen of France, and one
of the most powerful figures in Eu-
rope, found herself powerless against
NlnOn.
Saint-Evremond, the writer, loved
Ninon all of her life. Voltaire was her
friend and defender. Her lovers IN
cluded the great Condo, foremost mill
tary lender Of his time. The best
brains and blood of France gathered In
her salon, and mothers anxiously
sought entrance for their sons, that
they might mingle in this wit and ele-
gance. 1t was the special delight Of
Ninon to beseech and win favors from
ministers, to make some poor poet rich
over night. She distributed wealth
life and laughter with a lavish hand
One old man named Des Yveteaux, VINO
had vainly sought her affection, died
with a bit of yellow ribbon which she
had given him clasped in his hand. Just
fancy that bit of ribbon as the most
precious thing in his life!
Ninon's epigrams are famous. "Do
you know why love is dangerousY' she
asked. Because people will persist In
thinking it sublime" She, who had beer
loved SO often, took love lightly. nc
her It was an episode which might be
come tragic If treated seriously. sc
she lived lightly and happily to hel
ninetieth year, and was still a beauti
full woman when past seventy-five. One
former admirer who visited her MOI
long before her death has left this
sweet tribute:
Cupid had retreated into the little
wrinkles around her eyes"

Play And Study

When you study, study hard;
Then, to keep you stout and rudy,
When you play in street or yard,
Play as hard as when you study.
Work or play, every day,
Act as if you meant it, Buddy
Play when you're supposed to play;
And when supposed to study, study!
No half-hearted ways for you;
Lazy brains are mischief brewing.
Whatsoever thing you do,
Give your mind to what you're
doing.
Work or play, that's the way,
Be intent upon it, Buddy
Play when you are out to play;
And when you're in for study
study. Dennis A. Mccarthy

JERSEY VALUES ADVANCED
Figures Show a S265, 600, 900 Increase
Over the Year 1920

Assessed values of real estate in the
various counties in New Jersey ac-
cording to the annual report of the
State Board of Taxes and Assessments
to Governor Edwards, indicate an in
crease for 1921 of nearly S265, 900, 900
over the preceding year.
Approximately one-half of the in
crease is charged to Hudson and Es-
sex Counties, the advance in the for
mer county being attributed by the
assessors largely to waterfront i'm
provements, and in Essex County to
the consideration given by the asses
sors to the increased rentals, the local
board having been instructed to give
careful attention to this feature. The
only decrease in valuation is returned
for Essex County.
Following are the increases in tax
able values of real and personal prop
eYtv in each county,.

A FTER Selling half of France and

his lieutenants, Edward Ill returned to
England toward the close of the Four
teenth century, the most powerful mon
arch which the nation had ever known.
He had been long at the wars and was
determined to let younger shoulders
carry the burden. His mind was bent
upon recreation, the rest and plenty
so hardly won. His eye fell upon Alice
Perrers. She probably was a servant
about the palace, and was neither pref
ty nor talented. But she had a fiat
tering tongue and the will which moves
even walls. So 1t was not long until
her name began to be linked with that
of Edward. Then his wife died, the
good Queen Philippa. Immediately
Alice Perrers came into the full meas
ure of her power.
This woman had n ruling passion
money. Edward was completely I'M
der her domination. She persuaded
him to give her estates In II counties,
many of them wrung from their right
full OWNERS. She had herself appointed
as guardian to wealthy orphans and
riied their property. Court Offices
were sold through her. She undertook
to dictate even In the law courts, and
actually sat upon the bench with crown
judges to see that they decided in the
way she sought.
The people groaned and a party be
gan to gather around the Black Prince,
son Of Edward, who had come home
from the wars abroad. In an unwise
moment Alice had parliament sum
moned to vote new taxes. But the
parliament rebelled and Edward, near
his dotage, was forced to give up Alice.
both agreeing that they would never
meet again. Then the Black Prince
died. Alice came back to the palace,
more powerful than ever.
At this juncture she hit upon the
idea of cornering certain imported
The volume of was compar-
atively small at that time. 1t was an
easy matter to carry out her plans.
So Alice became England's first profit
eer and gained new wealth. The king
was feeble and frequently near death,
but Alice tenderly administered to him
and by the very force of her own spirit
kept him alive. In every direction she
levied new eXactiOns and the people
were afraid to act. Scandal coupled
her name with that of several men,
but Edward would not believe her I'M
faithful. How far she might have gone
1t would be impossible to say had not
the kings telling health reached a
crisis.
At last, when Alice saw that her
time had run its course, she left Ed
ward to die alone. But not until she
had removed the rings from the fin
gers Of this king, whose deeds had re-
sounded through all the world, only to
become the prey of a servant girl who
was not wen pretty.

to get a pair of shoes, and go to buy
