FARMERS AND RAIL MEN TO
SPEED UP MARKET TRAINS.

Shortening the journey between the
field and the market for perishable
crops is the aim of a spring series OF
conferences between farmers and rail
road traffic officials, by which New
Jersey growers hope to improve dis
tribution methods during he coming
summer, put fresher vegetables on
the tables of consumers and eliminate
their own losses from products that
reach the market too late for the best
trade. Large groups of armers IN
different sections of the State expect
to benefit from conferences already
held, as a result of which both ship
pers and railroad officials are study
ing plans to facilitate movement OF
the daily market trains.
Get your produce to market on
time!" is the message that Chief A.
L.. Clark, of the State Bureau of Mar
kets, has sent to the farmers interest
ed in these plans for distribution i'm
provements. Our Investigations have
shown clearly that the farmer stands
a big chance for loss when his stuff
does not reach the New FORK terminal
markets until after midnight. Price
differences range from 10 to 20 per
cent. on b same class OF products
on the same night, the early goods al
ways getting preference. Every farm
er should urge and aid his local
freight agent to move cars as early IN
the afternoon as it is practical to load.
In many instances it apparently would
pay farmers well to load earlier than
has ever been their custom, at the
same time insisting that the railroads
do their part to hasten market train
schedules"
Truck farmers from sections of At
lantic, Camden and Cumberland Coun-
ties to the number of 200 attended a
transportation conference at Elm,
April 18th, at which plans for han
ding by fast daily freight the big
crops expected this summe were dis
cussed. There, too, a survey OF the
conditions was presented by Mr.. Bam-
ford, of the State Agricultural Depart
ment. Layton Parkhurst and Assist
ant Postmaster Rossi, of Hammonton,
and F. E. Prestly. of Elm, discussed
the transportation problem from the
farmers end, and the railroads
spokesman were s.. B. hartman, super
intendent of the Central Railroad of
New Jersey, and e. M. Snyder, gen
eral freight agent. AS a result of
frank discussion of the situation, it
was the general view of the confer
ence that both the farmers and the
railroad men could do much during
the coming summer to eliminate In
necessary delays at shipping points,
A similar conference will be held in
the near future with market officials,
railroad men and farmers of the Den
nisville district in attendance. Still
another conference will be held at
Toms River to consider better trans
p~ortation methods for the poultry in
terests in that section of Ocean
County.

"HOME-RUN" NELSON WILL
PLAY WITH ELMER TEAM.

Raymond Nelson, perhaps better
known to baseball fans as Ike" is
to play with the Elmer, N. j., team
this summer. 1t is said that his o n
tract calls for three games a week
during the baseball season. Nelson
played with the Fleischer Yarn team
last season, and made a record for
home runs in independent baseball
circles.
Nelson, who is one of the greatest
%outfielders ever developed in this vi
entity, played with the old Pleasant
vile Regulars before becoming n of
the hardest hitters on Frank Bakers
Upland team, when the former Mack
man home-run swatter decided to for
sake organized baseball. When the
Upland Club decided to quit Nelson
went with Fleischer, later signed with
Harrowgate and also played with the
Shanahan Club of Philadelphia. He is
a resident of Pleasantville.

cons. 1t is the biggest circus pro-
gram the world has ever seen, given
under the largest tent.

CROPS ARE DESTROYED
BY HERDS OF DEER.

Deer are so numerous in South Jer-
sey at this time and are so tame that
they overrun farms and destroy grow
ing crops. They are no r~espectors of
persons in their depredations. Re-
Gently a herd invaded the farm of
Game Warden George Phifer, at Or
mond, and completely ruined his field
of early strawberries. Many farmers
in. Cumberland County and the upper
part of Atlantic County are annoyed
by the depredations of the animals.

NEW STEEL FIRE TOWER.

The State Forest Fire Service has
just completed a sixty foot steel look.
out tower at Bridgeton pike, two and
one-half miles east of Millville. 1t
will guard one of the largest wilder
ness areas in New Jersey.

territory under observation is one of
the most troublesome ones in the

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922.

many miles the sun is from the earth.

1t himself. But we take the mileage
on faith. In some things we rely on
what all the other fellows have found
out in the years gone by. A young
chap starts out to-day with the asset
of a thousand puzzling problems
solved by the billions of people we
never heard of. Just the same, big
as the store is, it will be exhausted
unless we put something into the
world as well as take something out
