SPRING FLOWING.
By T. F. PECK,
Commissioner of Agriculture.

The time for spring blowing is
here. The wise farmer has been get
ting his fences and buildings re-
paired, his harness and plows over
hauled, and all of his odds-and-
ends jobs out of the way, so that
when his ground is in condition for
blowing, even for a day at a time,
nothing will interfere to hinder that
pillow. He cannot pillow when the
ground is too wet, and he cannot let
it stand too long when a dry spell
comes, for it will get too hard. It is
to be hoped that while he has been
getting his turning plows in shape,
he has not overlooked his pulveriz-
ing harrow. and has not neglected
to keep it up with his breaking pillow
When ground if fresh plowed it is
easy to pulverize, but if broken and
the clods allowed to dry out before
pulverizing, it is no small job to &C.
complish.
Flowing ground too wet will lock
up the plant food in the soil so that
it will not be available for plants.
Much damage can be done to land
by blowing when it is too wet. Sub
soiling should never be done during
the spring months, and never when
the subsoil is wet. While there is
plant food in the subsoil, it is dor
mant until the subsoil is disintegrat
ed by the action of the air and frost
and it is mixed with jecomposing
vegetable matter. |

In breaking land in the spring
the turning pillow should not Sbe sci
deep enough to turn up any of the
subsoil.
A good method of determining il
the ground is dry enough to pillow is
to take up handful of the soil and
squeeze it firmly and then release it.
If it falls apart when released, the
ground can be safely plowed, but if
it remains in a ball, find some other
work to do until it dries out.
The wise farmer, during the rainy
weather, gets his plows repaired,
all bolts tight. his single and double
trees ready, his harness repaired
and oiled, and has everything in
readiness, so no time will be wasted.
l have seen so many wait until the
ground was right and then have all
the preparations to make before
they could get to work in earnest
part of the equipment in one place
and part in another, some of it
broken, and no new points for the
plows,
1t is better to anticipate your
work, and be ready to begin opera
tons when the opportunity offers.
If we are, there will be few seasons
when we cannot proceed with our
blowing without injury to the soil. |

GOLF CLUB PLANS DRIVE
Seek New Members. Keep curse
Open. Special inducements o.
fered by Reduced Fees

The wildwood Golf Club has started
out under most suspicious conditions.
The course has been largely used ana
greatly enjoyed by our summer guests
and residents of the beach and the
main land also. The officers have been
very much gratifed and encouraged
by the success attained. They are
planning to secure the maximum OF
pleasure by arranging to keep the
course open throughout the winter.
They also are planning to make 1t pos
sible to obtain this maximum OF pleas
ure at a minimum of cost. The green
fee will be reduced to $1.00, this rate
to become effective on october hrst
and continue to June first of next year.
All persons living in Cape May County
will be eligible.
Special inducements are offered to
enroll a larger membership. Any per-
son taking out a membership at this
time will be entitled to all the privi-
leges of the club for the balance of the
year and the entire year of 1923. The
membership the club pr1v1-
leges for both the husband and wife.
If the husband is loath to grasp this
opportunity and the wife enrolls as a
member, her membership will auto
matically provide all the club privi-
leges to the tardy husband. Every
hotel owner should be a member. His
membership secures for the guests OF
the house the privileges of the club
upon paying the regular fees.
That the Golf Club course is appre-
ciated is evidenced by the fact of the
continuous attendance at the grounds.
1t matters not what time one motors
past the club property, the fact is pres
ent that a number of automobiles are
parked about the club house and a
number of players car be observed
making their way over the course. The
busy season is over. There are many
club members who have not had an
opportunity, during the busy season,
to secure the pleasure for which they
subscribed. We would urge that as
many as hold the privilege should go
often while we are enjoying the de-
lightful, balmy autumn weather. The
presence of a large number is always
an inducement to others to participate.
The more that are present the greater
the advertisement of Wildwood's pro-
vision of pleasure for both its guests
and residents.
