The Earlier The Hatch The Bigger
Are Next Years Profits

Did you. get eggs during October,
November, and December? If you
did not, the chances are it is because
you did not hatch your pullets early
enough.
A large part of the profits made in
the poultry business are made during
these months when eggs are scarce,
which means that the chicks must be
Matched early enough to be in good
laying condition by fall. Most farm
ers make the mistake of not Matching
chicks until it is too late, often wait
ing until May or June. Experience
has shown, however, that most of the
poultrymen in New Jersey who are
making a success of the poultry bust
ness are Matching their birds in the
months of February, March and early
April.
The New Jersey Experiment Sta
ton recommends that poultrymen in
this State stick to the following
schedule when Matching chicks for
winter layers:
Brahmas, February 1 to March l.
Wyandottes, March Is to April Is.
Plymouth Rocks, March 1 to April 1.
Rhode Island Reds, March 1 to
April is.
Leghorns, March 1 to May Is.

Not Confirming Appointments

The failure to confirm the nomina-
ton of Jim Nugent by the Senate to
be Prosecutor of the State Laws in
Essex County was expected. He
stands for a civic standard of a gem
GRAFTON past. He made a plea that he
would be bound to enforce the laws
as on the Statutes, while he retained
his personal right of judgment what
those laws should be.
But it seems that the Republican
Senate is not drawing the line on
Nugent's moral standard, but solely
on the partisan line. w. Tullis Porch,
a worker in the Y. NJ. C. A., at Pit
man, was appointed Prosecutor for
Gloucester County, but his appoint
ment has not been confirmed. Gov.
Edwards has made other respectable
appointments but they are held up,
evidently to keep Democrats out of
office irrespective of moral q%ualifi-
cations, because they expect to elect
a Republican Governor next Novem-
Der and after his Inauguration in
January get all the appointive Off
GERS.
Such rank partisanship will not
add to party prestige at the election.

This German Admits Inferiority!

Rarely, if ave have Americans
and America been praised by a for
eign observer with the enthusiasm
that is shown by Professor Frederick
Dessauer, who is described by The
Living Age, which translates and
prints an article by him taken from
the Frankfurter Zeitung, as "a we'll
known publicist and Centrist leader"
Even more surprising than the fact
that he commends US so warmly are
his comparisons of us with the Ger
mans, unfavorable to the latter, and
his ascription to us of just the merit
which we have sorrowfully supposed
ourselves to lack-a merit which we
enviously have granted the Germans
but Professor Dessauer denies them.
1t seems that what struck the Pro-
fessor most in the course of his recent
travels through many of our Eastern
cities was our scrupulous and willing
obedience to every law, no matter
whether we like the law or not! This
laudation we do deserve, of course, in
such large matters as abiding by cleo
ton results, but the German note
taker instances particularly our do
cility under prohibition and the anger
we should feel if anybody violated the
ban on alcoholics. In five weeks, with
his time divided between dozens of
hotels, he saw liquor served only
twice, and then secretly in empty
rooms!
In Germany, he declares, a law held
Objectionable by as many as here re-
sent deprivation of intoXicants would
be ignored as often as it could be
done safely, and, in general, the Ger
man is quite without the American
feeling that every law must be re
spected simply because it is an ex-
preston of the popular will.-N. Y.

SPEAKING OF CROPS

Perhaps farmers are not thinking
ought to be. Speaking of crops, says
II. R. Cox, extension specialist in
farm crops of the New Jersey Agri-
cultural College;
at seems that some New Jersey
farmers are all stirred up about kudzu
as a forage plant. The Experiment
Station put out several paintings of
this crop about the State last year.
1t is too early to say much about the
value of this crop for New Jersey, but
there is small likelihood of its displac-
ing alfalfa or clover.
Perhaps raw rock phosphate would
make a good college yell, but the ex-
perience in New Jersey has been
largely in favor of acid phosphate as
a fertilizer.
Over in Delaware a number of
farmers have stimulated old alfalfa
fields to new life by by going owe
them with a disc harrow right after
the first or second cutting. A field
containing quite a number of weeds,
but with a fairly good stand of al
falfa will give the best returns from
this treatment.
There has been little tile drainage
work going on in the State during the
past several years. When the price of
tile delivered gets down somewhere
near the price level of farm produce
there will be more Of it used.
The old-time practice of applying
gypsum, or land plaster, was discon-
tinued years ago. Acid phosphate and
lime supply both sulphur and calcium,
and there is nothing else of any posi-
BILE fertilizing value in gypsum.
If a new seeding of alfalfa goes
through the winter in a weakened
condition, it may be a good plan to
broadcast from six to ten tons Of
manure, or about $50 pounds of nj
trate of soda, to the acre. Such treat
ment frequently does wonders for a
struggling young alfalfa crop.
The Experiment Station made
several seedlings of the annual sweet
clover, the so-called Hubam, during
the past year. A number of new
seedlings will be made this spring. 1t
has still to be proved that the annual
has any advantage over our old friend,
the biennial for New Jersey.

Why The Farmers Suffer
From The Atlanta Constitution

From The Atlanta Constitution
The farmers of the United States
are suffering, says Secretary Wallace
from the worst conditions in the his
tory of agriculture-from conditions
which, he says, "are undermining
agriculture, the base of the pyramid
which represents our national life
but why?
And he says, very truthfully, that
this condition "justifies the use of the
most vigorous means to cure it." but
he does not suggest the "cure."
The truth of the matter is, the con-
dition exists because the party to
which Secretary Wallace belongs has
committed this country to an unscien-
tific, homogeneous, unreasonable and
utterly unavoidable policy of isolation
from and utter disregard for the
affairs and welfare of the balance of
the world; and the only way under
Gods heaven to "cure it" is to revoke
that policy.
The action of the Republican SEN
ate in repudiating the Versailles
treaty has cost the farming interests
of the United States untold millions;
it administered a blow to agriculture
from which it will require years to
recover, and it has levied a tax of not
less than $50 on every bale of cotton
that the South has produced since the
Senate "got even with Wilson" by
forcing the defeat of the Versailles
treaty.
The country is awakening to a re-
alization of this fact-the truth of
which is emphasized by this statement
by the Secretary of Agriculture-and
to the further fact that, in absolute
control of every department of the
Government from cellar to garnet, the
Republicans have done nothing thus
far to remedy the situation by undo
ing the mischief they did in the re-
pudiation of the Versailles treaty.

GASPARRI THANKS HARDING
"NOble Homage" TO Pope's Memory

LIABLE TO HEAVY PENALTY
Gross Income Frequently Confused
With Net Income

An interview by a representative of
the Record with Collector of Internal
Revenue, Edward l.. Sturgess, devol-
oped that official has a desire to give
taxpayers as much information o n
corning the Federal Tax Laws as pos
sible, saying that he has not yet be-
come removed from the viewpoint of
a taxpayer, or the way an average
person regards the laws, and is more
than anxious to make known to the
public their liability to the Federal
Government.
Perhaps the one new feature of the
Income Tax law revised in 1921, judg-
ing from personal inquiries, is that
people generally have not learned,
that the increased exemption of $2500
for married persons and $500 for each
dependent under age of IS, OF those
unable to support themselves becomes
effective January l, 1921, so in max
ing up returns for the income of 1921,
taxpayers are emitted to this advan-
tage.
What is likely to make the most
serious trouble, is the new provision
that every person having a gross in
come of $4,000 or more, must make a
return.
Most farmers, sell products that
yield $4,000 or more in a year. Thou
sands of small business, grocers,
butchers, bakers, garages, express
men, restaurants, doctorsn lawyers,
in fact all kinds of business and pro-
fessional men receive for commodities
and services rendered $4,000 or more
per year.
Every such person, male or female
must, under the law, make a return,
Failure to do so, automatically carries
a heavy penalty. ,
Gross income is frequently confused
with net income. Your gross income,
is money, or anything that has money
value, no matter from what source re-
ceived.
The question of whether you have
any tax to pay does not enter into
gross income.
Many persons have the idea that
income includes only cash received.
This is wrong; it includes inventories,
if a person has stocks of merchandise
of any character December 81, 1921,
that is worth say $4,000 more than De-
cember 81, 1921, whichever is lowest.
added to their income price on De-
cember 81, 1921, whichever is lowest.

whether the officials are godly people
or not. The standard is so high in the
United States that our Government is
a Theocratic Democracy, like the
Israelites first had.
In Protestant Church parlance re-
pentance is a Cody sorrow in the
mind for sin committed and a resolu-
ton not to do it again. That is called
conversion, a turning around from
immortality to living the moral laws.
There is no temporal punishment by
Protestant Churches, nor need to pay,
contribute. for indulgences, taken or
to be allowed. Hence there is no need
of true Americans to pay tribute to a
pope, papa in Rome and help keep up
his royal retinue.
All should contribute to the support
of some Church and help to support
those who devote their time to teach
ing and preaching the Gospel. Do it
from a sense of moral duty and not
as a temporal punishment for sins
committed or indulgences desired.
Those are the principles and methods
of Americanism in Church and State
separation. 1t is only the restoration
of the original rule and principles of
the Children of Israel and the early
Church of Jesus Christ when no pope
was needed, for foreign nations to pay
tribute, and pattern after.
The fine distinction between Autoc-
a and Democracy in Church and
State is worthy of much study and
thought.
The United States is a T~heocraey of
Democracy. Democracies do not pay
tributes to foreign autocrats, neither
civic nor religious.

A Message From Franklin D. ROOse.
welt

To the Friends of Mr.. Wilson and
those who believe in his principles:
Since 1913, the liberal thought of
mankind has moved faster than in
any similar period in many genera
tons. One man-an American Presi-
dent-is recognized by all but will
fully blind reactionaries as having
been the leader in this forward move
ment.
Everywhere in our WI land as
well as in other nations, signs are
manifest that his ideals of new rela-
tionship between nations will not
down.
1t is in accordance with this that the
Woodrow Wilson Foundation has been
formed. We can in some slight meas
ure render a tribute to Woodrow Will
son and at the same time we can, thru
this practical and useful means create
an instrument to stimulate service in
the cause of justice, democracy and
peace.
AS Chairman of the National Com
mittee of this Foundation, I trust
that those who contribute to its estab-
lishment will be made up from the
ranks of the average citizens every
where. To give in even the smallest
way will be something to be proud Of
in the days to come.-Franklin D.
Roosevelt.
