BIBLE CLASS QUINTET
VISIT REV. SURTEES

Five members of the Mems Bible
Glass of Wesley NJ. E. Church, John
w. Kirkbride, w. G. Pierson, Walter
II. OFT, Edward Whitaker and w.
Claude Bailey, enjoyed a visit Sunday
to Rev. J. L. Surtees and family, at
Midtown, N. J. The visit was a sur
prise TO the former pastor and Sunday
School teacher, who was just begin
ming his morning service when the
quintet filed into the church. He was
greatly pleased to see his former asso-
%ciates, but regretted the fact they had
not brought their wives with them.
During the service twelve children and
one adult were admitted to member
ship and five infants. baptized. A thor
oughly appreciative audience filled the
church, although it was oppressively
hot, and the visitors were pleased to
see the loyalty of the people to the
church and pastor. The Midtown
church is an old one, though splendid
ly preserved and the erection of a new
edifice is now being contemplated.
The trip was by automobile and a
start made at APO a. m 1t was with
difficulty that some of the members of
the party were induced to dismiss the
rope OF Slumber. Each person was
supposed to take a breakfast lunch,
but Walter OFT had a shoe box that
took up a considerable portion of the
space in the bottom of the car. A
peculiar thing was that this party did
not touch his lunch during the morn
ing trip and his companions began to
think he was taking along an extra
pair of shoes instead of eats. 1t was
not until the return trip that the con-
tents of the box was disclosed.
Bill Pierson is very fond of white
potatoes, and when the party reached
the potato county of Monmouth and
Bill saw the vast acres of blooming
spuds, it required much persuasion to
induce him to return to South Jersey.
The time for making the trip might
have been considerably lessened had
it not been for the acn1e1ssc

FARM PRICES IN JERSEY.

Some one has asked whether farms
jpSNRWss4ersey will increase or de-
TEf6aee ~ $A1tie. If some one will tell
us what VIII be the price of potatoes
this year, we could inform them as to
whether potato land will increase or
decrease. In some sections of New
Jersey land has advanced materially
during the wal period. In these same
sections they have again receded, but
usually not to pre-war prices. In
other localities land prices remain
approximately the same. Values in
New Jersey on the whole remain con
sentative, therefore, we would not X
pect a radical change in land values
where there was no big increase dur
ing the war. Jersey farmers should
be thankful they are farming in New
Jersey neal a good market. If any
one prospers in agriculture, the Jer-
seyman should.

GROWING DAHLlAS.

Tastes differ in flowers as we'll
in drinks. Many people prefergsl
! number of flowers on a plant, N
less of the size of the blooms,
others prefer a few large blossoms
Some s~easonable tips on the culture
of dahlias given herewith by the hor-
ticultural department of the New Jer
sey Experiment Station, have some
hints along these lines.
AS soon as the dahlia shoots ap'
pear above ground the strongest one
should be selected to form the plant,
the remainder being removed. When
two pairs of leaves are well formed,
pinch out the tip. This will cause a
branch or side shoot to arise at the
axil of each leaf.
If the tubers have been set deep,
the soil should be drawn in around
the plant after the four side shoots
have made 10 to IL inches of growth.
In this way the plant will be firmly
anchored, and by proper handling
should grow throughout the season
without the need of further support.
If the shallow method of planting has
been followed, the shoots should be
tied to a stake as growth. proceeds.
To produce a large number of
blooms to the plant, pinch out the tip
of each shoot after it has reached Is
to "a inches in length. This will in
crease the number of branches, and
will also retard blooming. The shoots
reaching inward should be thinned
jndiciously so that the plant will be
bushy, but not too dense. When the
flower buds develop, allow the central
one to remain, removing the side
ones.
In order to secure the finest show
blooms, the contrary practice should
be followed. Allow the plant to de-
velop only 4 to s branches and remove
all other side shoots. When the buds
have set, allow only the central Or tip
bud to develop, unless it has been in
jured in some way or appears NAL
formed. in which case, select the bet
ter of the side buds.

A CAUSES SHOCK.

A tale of the sea that seemed al
most incredible was brought to port
by passengers on the Shipping Board
Steamship American Legion, when
that vessel arrived in New York from
the tropics. AS the liner was cross
ing the equator during the night, the
passengers felt the ship suddenly re-
coil as though struck. The speed was
decidedly diminished, but the ship
seemed to ride easily. At daylight
officers started an investigation and
found the mutilated carcass of a thir-
ty-fve foot shark clinging to the sharp

UNIVERSITY WOMEN HOLD
LAST MEETING OF SEASON

The last meeting of the season of
the American Association of Univer-

afternoon in the form of a picnic at
Wissahickon avenue and the Beach in
Ventnor. The president, Mrs. Bolte,
appointed a number of committees to

mic luncheon was served. This is a
most worthy organization, which has
in a quiet way assisted many young
people in securing a college education
who otherwise could not have had
that advantage. The Pleasantville

Miss Marjorie c. Thomas and Miss
Ada Thomas. Miss Marion Glenn and

NATIONAL ANTI-FILLED MILK
BILL BEFORE CONGRESS

The national anti-flled milk bill is
before Congress. The Farm Bureau
Federation has been in touch with all
the Congressman of the State in re
gard to tho bill, calling to their atten-
ton the action of the State Legisla'
ture last year in passing a law pro-
hibiting the manufacture and sale OF
filled milk.
Congressman Hutchinson has writ,
ten:
Receipt is acknowledged of your
letter of the 18th with reference to
H. H. S0S6, the filed milk bill, and
you are advised that this bill is on
the calendar and scheduled to be
taken up on next Wednesday, May "a,
1922. | fully expect to vote for the
bill"
Congressman Perkins reply fol
lows:
This is to acknowledge receipt of
your letter dated May -. | note your
interest in II. II. Bill S0S6. This bill
seems to represent desirable legisla-
ton and | should be very glad to sup
port the same when the subject comes
before the House of Representatives"
1t is highly satisfactory to have rep
r~esentatives in Congress who under
stand the needs of their patrons. 1t
is gratifying to have representatives
who ascertain what is desirable legis-
lation and take a definite stand.
New Jersey is in a position to give
the bill strong support by reason of
the State action. We believe hat the
bill will be passed by the House. 1t
will strengthen the position of the
dairymen materially against milk sub
stitutes and also guard the interests
of the consumer. There is a strong
public feeling that the consumer
should not be fed with substitutes,
Every product should be sold so that
the consumer understands what he is
purchasing.
