WEATHER AND CROPS

Synopsis Of weather and crop con-
ditions in New Jersey for the week
ending Tuesday, September IL, 1929:
There was considerable cloudiness
during the past week. but there was
adequate moisture and warmth for
satisfactory maturing growth. Sum
shine was deficient, and there "a
an absence of rain until Tuesday
morning, when a copious fall occur
red. Ground was in workable condi-
ton for fall blowing and seeding,
and much Of this work vas ccom
plished. Corn is making rapid head
way toward maturity: much has ma
tured and is being cut; as a rule the
crop is excellent. Pasturage holds
out remarkably well and this is
probably due to the lack of burning
sunshine during a greater part OF
the summer, and to the occurrence
of showers at critical times. The
third cutting of alfalfa is now under
way, and a second cutting Of tim
othy. Potato digging continues, and
the crop Is good; the late crop in
southern counties Is under cultiva-
ton, and is making good progress.
Apples and garden truck are COM
ing on satisfactorily. Cranberry
picking Is under way, and the crop
is very fine. Sweet potatoes are
making good progress. Absence of
heavy winds have avoided blowing
fruit off trees.

BOY SCOUTS

Camping season is over. All the
happy campers are back again, none
the worse for their experience in
the woods and on the shores Of the
scout lakes, and it is only to be re-
greeted that not more scouts couid
spend two weeks in camp.
The fact that the council was not
able to give financial support to n
scouts this year, of course, prevented
many boys from going. 1t is to be
recommended that every citizen,
who can make it possible, should
visit the camp at the Kanohwahke
Lakes, situated about seven miles
beyond Tuxedo, N. Y.
There is no doubt that whoever
sees that beautiful site and the won
derful equipment for welfare and
education, which is at the disposal
Of the boys and conducted by the
best and most competent men, is an
enthusiast site booster and supporter
of Ii movement. Our local coun-
ell consists of six troops with about
$50 scouts.
Four troops were represented at
camp with nineteen scouts as foi-
lows. OU6 SCOul AVN ~
fourteen scouts from Troop s, n
scout from Troop Z, and three scouts
from Troop 10.
The boys were accompanied py
Deputy Commissioner f. Aoegg anu
Scoutmaster l. Harris. :,
How much this camp life with all
it's discipline and work appeals TO
the scouts is shown best by the fact
that they have already started a
camp saving fund, where they de-
post their nickles and dimes towards
their camping expenses next year.
Much educational work was &C
complished which will be shown az
the next Court of Honor meeting
when thirty-three merit badges VIII.
be awarded, which were earned
while at camp.
Two scouts (Harry Harris and
Frank Delisi) advanced to the rank
Of Star Scout and for h first time IN
the history of scouting in Perth AM
boy two scouts (Joe Dennis and
Klaus Abegg) will receive the Eagle
Scout badge, the highest rank which
is given to those First Class scouts
who have earned twenty-one or more
merit badges and have lived up 10
the scout oath and laws. above all
gave unrestricted, unselfish service
to others. 1t is therefore not a rank
to be reached by merely passing
tests and examinations, but an award
for exceptionally good scout spirit
1t is the ambition of every red
blooded scout and. a distinction any
body, boy or man, have a right to
be proud of.
OF the twenty-one campers. nine
teen earned the camp emblem which
is a very high percentage and speaks
we'll for our scouts.
Our scout officials are optimistic
enough. in spite of the apparent In
difference shown by a large num-
| Der of our citizens, to believe that
next year will see a large represen-
tation in camp.

MATAWAN- KEYPORT CAR
SERVICE MUCH BETTER

MATAWN. Sept. 14.-Once more
the trolley cars between Matawan
station of the New York & Long
Branch Railroad and Keyport are
running over the entire distance
without the necessity of changing
cars. During the past several weeks
passengers on the car have been
compelled to change from one a to
another, often times having to walk
n considerable distance, because Of
the fact that the rails were being
relaid.
With the relaying Of the rails Of
the Jersey Central Traction Company
from Oak Shades to Matawan sta
ton, 1. NJ. Demarest. the contractor
putting down the new concrete road
between Matawan and Keyport will
be able to finish this work. One
half of the road has already been
laid from Matawan station to Oak
Shades and work has been started
on the half east of the trolley track
and it is expected that within a few
weeks the entire roadway will be
open to traffic. The road from Key
port to Oak Shades has been COM
pleted and traffic has been using it
for some time past.

Perth Amboy Evening News


WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-In spite

ers, the mining of coal was attended
with fewer fatal accidents per n
million tons mined during the first
even months of this year than dur

were normal.
This disclosure is contrary to the
rather general expectation that with
changed conditions, many new and
unskilled workers and working n

increased number of accidents with
attending heavy loss of life in the
mines.
Between January / and August 1,

accidents at coal mines in the United
States, as compared with 1853 acct
