Devote More Land to Truck
Farming.

Georgetown, June 22.-Though
this years season has not been pro-
pitious for truck, on account of the
immoderate rains of April and May
and the first part of June, still this
section is making steady progress IN
developing into a considerable truck
growing country. M. M. McCord,
county demonstration agent, has been
Keeping an accurate record of the
acreage planted in various crops.
This year $50 acres were devoted to
Irish potatoes, 400 acres to beans,
and about the same in lettuce, cauli-
flower, spinach, cabbage, cucumbsers,
onions, etc., for shipment. One day
an entire trainload Of truck, consist
ing of Is cars, went out from George
town.
The production of potatoes was
materially reduced by wet weather,
bu tsome acres yielded as mush as
so barrels and the quality, was of the
best. Advices have been received that
certain shipments from Georgetown
were among the finest seen in the
Northern markets. The early and
late shipments realized the best mar
ket prices. there having been a fall
ing off in prices at n stage OF the
shipping season.
While the production of lettuce,
c%aulifower and "cukes" was excel
lent, the prices this year have been
disappointing.
General crops are not looking as
well as usual for the time TO the
year. The early corn has been injur-
ed by rain, but the latter planting is
more favorable. Little cotton has been
planted in this county.
Georgetown is going in for truck
ing strong. The soil and climate is
well adapted for the purpose. Recent
ly a local truck growers association
was organized and the members are
hopeful of great development along
this line. This county is also enthusi-
astic over the tobacco cooperative
marketing proposition and expect
good results. Over IS per cent of
the tobacco planters have signed up
so far. The cotton planters have also
entered largely into the Cotton Co.
operative Marketing association.

Integrity.

The word in it's original sense
means Wilderness; disintegration is
the breaking up of the whole into it's
elements. When we speak of a man OF
integrity we mean that he is a man
who has maintained his Wilderness OF
character and who can be counted
on not to part with any of it's ele-
ments or principles for any consider
alton. Shakespeare's line, "To thine
own self be true, is an %axortation to
preserve integrity. If you betray any
part of yourself, you lose your integ-
rity. If you descend to meanness or
trickery in order to obtain a person
al advantage, you lose it. If through
motives of vanity or self-interest you
resort to p~retense, you lose it. Fail
ure to be industrious and to make the
most of your capabilities is failure
to maintain your integrity. An indo-
lent man may be honest, but his in
dolence robs him of his integrity.
Can a man who is conscious of
some loss of integrity regain what he
has lost? Surely it must be possible
to heal wounds to the character as
well as wounds to the body. But the
healing process in. either case requir-
es surgical treatment and the utmost
care to guard against further infec-
ton. And as there is a limit to the
power of the body to resist injuries
and infections, so there is a limit to
the power of the character to renew
itself after a succession of weaken
ing and disintegrating attacks upon
it. The person who wants to keep his
integrity had better not be always
making small compromises with HIM
self.-Youths' Companion.

A Mother to Sit in Congress.


The first mother to sit in the Unit
ed States congress will be Mrs. Wini-.
fred Mason Huck, who has received
the Republican nomination for repre-
sentative-at-large for the short term
from Illinois. There was no Democrat
nominee.
81 have only one aim in life"
said Mrs. Huck, "and that is to set
in motion the work that will lead to
world peace am going to congress
with that purpose.
81 shall be the first mother to sit
in congress. I shall represent the
feelings of other women who have
children. There is only one great po-
litical issue now. There is no issue
between the Republican and the Dem
ocratic parties. The issue is peace"
Mrs. Huck is nominated to fill the
unexpired term of her father, Will
liam E. Mason. His term will end
March a, 1923. Mrs. Huck, according
to present plans, will not wait for
election in November, as there is no
Democratic opposition, but, when Of
fcially notified of her nomination,
will ask Governor Len Small for an
immediate appointment to congress.
This will be a new departure, as Gus
tom has construed the congressional
appointing power of the governor to
(be confined TO senator's. Mrs. Huck,
however, says that the governor can
make the appointment, and that the
house has only to confirm it, which
the Republican majority probably
would do without hesitation. She ex-
poets no delay in taking her seat.

Mrs. Huck, is a civil engineer at

campaign, speaking only in Cook and
LaSalle counties. Six men and one
woman ran against her for the nomi-

Work for Nitrogen.

KeSeafch work FOR nitrogen.
Washington, June 22.-One of the
least-heralded yet most important
cogs in the governments peace and
wartime machinery is in the fixed nj
trogen research laboratory here, born
of the world war.
When the United States entered
the conflict it was seriously unpre-
pared in the matter of nitrogen for
explosives. The war department I'M
dertook to remedy the situation as
quickly as possible, but found itself
greatly handicapped, because only
a few men in the country were famil-
lar with the nitrogen process.
The war department Immediately
called into consultation some of the
ablest scientists available, following
which a nitrate commission was
formed. The commission recommended
the building of plants for the fix
alton of atmospheric nitrogen, so
that ammonium nitrate could be Sc
cured for explosives during the war
and for the production of fertilizer
materials as well as nitrogen COM
pounds useful in the arts during
peace time.
The laboratory today has a per-
sonnet of LOT, occupies seventeen
buildings and owns equipment valued
at approximately $1,000, 900.
Has Special Machinery.
1t has, in addition to the equip
ment and supplies of standard design,
a great quantity Of specially con-
structed apparatus, among which is a
high-pressure catalyst testing plant.
This plant has been in successful and
continuous operation for more than
two years and is believed to be the
only catalyst testing plant outside
of Germany yer to be operated con-
tinuously for more than "a few weeks
at a time.
Of vital Importance to the United
States both in raj and in peace is
the problem of nitrogen fxation. The
element forms an essential constitu-
emit of explosives, fertilizers and dye
stuffs. In time of war the necessity
of importing Chilean saltpetre, with
its attendant uncertainties and tie
up of carrying capacity, is very Sc
rious. In time Of peace the use of nj
trogen in fertilizers is limited only
by the supply, and if available larg-
er quantities would be used for in
creasing the food and other crops ne.
cessary to the country's welfare.
The laboratory was. established pr,
marily to coordinate the knowledge
which had been obtained concerning
nitrogen fxation by the war depart
ment to obtain further information
essential to p~eace-time utilization OF
the governments nitrate plants, and
to continue the investigation of nj.
trogen processes in general. Most OF
the laboratory's work has been de.
voted to the peace-time utilization OF
the Muscle Shoals plant.

Speakers See Great Future
for Clay Industry--Note
Engineers Attend

NEW BRUNSWICK, June IA
Dreams of New Jersey clay men and
ceramic chemists. pointing toward
the establishment of a suitable cera-
mics building for research work and
instruction, were realized yesterday
when on the campus of Rutgers
College a new building was formally
dedicated to the purpose of the
ceramics engineers and students of
the state.
The structure. authorized by the
legislature last year, is almost COM
pleted. The equipment is in place
and by fall. at the opening of the
Eext college year. the laboratory
will be ready for occupancy.
Between two and three hundred
persons attended the exercises yes
terday. among whom were many
men interested in every phase of
clay working. Comment upon the
architectural beauty of the building
was unanimously favorable. as well
as remarks in connection with the
class room and laboratory equip
ment. Perth Amboy and vicinity.

Seven terra Gotta companies in

building, while others gave manu-
factured clay products. such as san
itary fixtures, lighting apparatus,
sand and other commodities employ
ed in the construction.

DIR. w. H. S. Demarest. president
of Rutgers. presided over the cere-
mony of dedication, introducing the
speakers. In the course Of his re-
marks DIR. Demarest. pointed out
that the dedication at this time was
peculiarly significant in view OF the
fact that the occasion also marked
the twentieth anniversary of the
founding of the Rutgers school OF
ceramics
Prominent clay men of this Sec
ton of the state present at the exer-
cises included William II. Griswold'
Harry Germs and Karl Mathiasen,
Jr.. of the New Jersey Terra Gotta
Company; Abel Hanson. of the
Fords Porcelain Works; Charles
Bloomfield, of the Bloomfield Clay
Company; August Staudt of Perth
Amboy, and F. A. Whitaker of Me-
tuchen.
Frank H. Riddle, president of the
American Ceramics Society. made
brief address of congratulation TO
the CLAW men of the state, stressing
their good fortune in having sucn
an institution as the new building
available. He remarked that this
state has more interest in clay work
ing than any other section or the
world by reason of the many clay
banks that are found here and the
fact that so many of the clay pro,
ducts manufacturers have situateo
their factories nearby.
Mr.. Riddle also commented upon
the truth that the existence of the
ceramics building was due to the co,
operation between the technical ana
business men of the clay industry
who carried the project through the
state legislature, largely through the
interest of former Senator Thomas
Brown.
