Ask Others To Form Clubs.

The departments of vocational agri-
culture in the high school at Middle
town and Newark have organized Jun
iOr Hog Breeders Associations for the
purpose OF securing and raising pure
bred hogs on the farms from which
the members come.
In the Middletown department there
are twenty boys organized in an asso-
citation known as the Junior Pure
Bred Hampshire Swine Breeders AS
sOciation and in Newark there are
about seven boys doing likewise.
The stock with which these boys
are beginning was secured from the
Blue Hen Farm" at Newark Of which
H. w. Zaiser is manager.
The boys are studying in the agri-
culture courses proper methods of
breeding, feeding, housing, pastures,
marketing and swine accounts. The
results of these studies will be applied
to actual work which each boy will
have necessarily to do in caring for
his hog or hogs.
At Middletown the association has
secured a son of big Jim," a S160O.OO
boar which will be used for the gifts
in that section.
The Newark boys will use for their
gifts the boars at "Blue Hen Farm"
During the summer before the state
and county fairs a roundup will be
held in these communities to deter
mine the best and most typical indi-
vidual which will be taken to the State |
and County fairs for exhibit

cational agriculture in the high
schools will organize these junior as
sociations as soon as the pigs are
AVAILABLE.

Secretary Benson Sends Report To
The General Assembly Cover
ing Period Of lS Months.
STOLEN CARS RECOVERED
Report Tells OF Carrying Out OF

According to a report submitted on

/ Secretary of State Alden r. Benson,
the total reports of his office under
the Motor Vehicle Identification act,
/ passed two years ago, from the time
that it became effective, June 1, 1921,
until December 26, 1922, were $685.
1O751. This report, however, is not
made in reply to the Senate resolu-
tion adopted Monday by the Senate as
it was prepared before Senator Muir
ply offered the resolution. The Sen
ate resolution calls for a detailed re-
port of receipts and expenditures un-
der the above act generally known as
the Titling act, and also the number
of clerks employed under this act,
with their salaries.
The report submitted by Secre-
tary Benson tells of the carrying out
of the provisions of the act and gives
the total of receipts and expenditures.
Secretary Benson went to the Sen
ate and conferred with Senator Murphy
and Senator Hardesty relative to Sen
ator Murphy's resolution. He explain
ed it would be a physical impossible
ity to have prepared a detailed report
of the receipts and expenditures I'M
der the act by January Is, as required
under the resolution, as 10000 items
are involved. 1t is possible the reso-
luton may be modified.
In the report submitted to the legis-
lature Tuesday, Secretary Benson says
in part:
"It became apparent that the pur-
poses of this act could be realized
only if a system of actual inspection
was provided. Accordingly, after care
full consideration, all motor vehicle
work of this Office was combined, and
on October 1, 1921, three motor vehic-
lie inspectors were employed, the num-
ber Of inspectors being increased to
six beginning January 1, 1922. The eX- |
pense of this work is met partly by
the fund provided by this act, partly
by the contingent fund of this Office,
and partly by the small standing ap-
I believe that the State
has been reimbursed in large part by
he increase in automobile revenue,
ior which these men are responsible.
Furthermore, stolen automobiles to
he value of about $25,0O0 have been
ocated, identified and returned. The
most valuable part of the work, how
ver, is that we have been responsible
or over twenty arrest of actual
hieves and offences"
The summary of receipts and ex-
attached to the report fol-
OWs:
Receipts, June 1, 1921, to June 1,
922, $29, 9,49089; expenditures, $15,-
OO.37; balance, $13,990.52.
During this period five Ford road
