FOR CARTERET
Mayor MuIvihiII Declares Dor.
ough is Enjoying Era of
Industrial Prosperity

CARTERET, May 16:-The indus
tries of the borough are enjoying a
healthy era of business prosperity in
the opinion Of Mayor Thomas j.
Mulvihill, one of the executives of
the Wheeler Engineering q Con-
denser. Company. Mr.. Mulvihill ex-
pressed the belief that not only the
Wheeler organization but almost
every plant in the borough has
abundant business on hand. He
stated that some of the factories
have been handicapped due to the
labor shortage in recent months to
fulfill the orders.
An attempt was made to secure
some concrete data concerning the
local industries through the Carteret
Industrial Association but in spite of
the numerous requests the associa-
ton has not supplied the informa-
ton.
The Williams Lumber Company,
which expects to begin operations
shortly and employ several hundred
skilled workers, expects to add much
to the borough's prosperity in the
opinion of local business men.

GET SPECIFICATIONS FOR
DREDGING HURD'S BROOK

WOODBRIDGE, May 16:-The
dredging of Hurds Brook is to begin
shortly in accordance with a motion
adopted at the last meeting of the
township committee. Mayor Louis
Neuberg in urging immediate action
in this direction declared hat the
cost of $4,000 to possibly $1,000 en-
tailed in the work would be we'll
spent. In his recommendation to
the township committee the mayor
stressed the fact that although only
partial dredging is to be done, never
theless it will tend to relieve the con-
dition of the brook as it exists today.
Engineer Morgan +. Larson has
been instructed to prepare plans and
Specifications for that work to be
presented at the next regular meet

general belief that these plans will

ance in order to obtain such data as
to give the agents an opportunity to
arrest those behind the alleged liquor
operations.
1t was also brought out that boot
leggers in the county kept in close
contact with activities here, and that
their sales have been guided by the
quotations usually supplied from this
district. With the raid on Saturday.
it was said, the trade in liquor in
this territory has been somewhat
halted for the time being. as it is a
general belief that agents of the
federal offices are still encireling the
alleged booze places.
1t was learned also that some OF
the men charged with alleged pos
session and sale of the liquor con-
iscated last Saturday will expose
matters as they in reality are.
whether it meant that these men
were merely acting as tools for boot
leggers and working under their
supervision could lot be ascertained.
Although so far only eleven men
have been taken into custody and
held under $1,000 bail there are in
dications that others will be lined up
and held for the action of the grand
Jury.

IMPORTANCE OF BARELY AS
CROP

While barley ranks only fourth
among the cereal crops Of the United
States, being exceeded in value by
corn. wheat, and oats, it is becoming
more important to American agricul-
ture, even though production is not
increasing: at the present time. The
importance of the barley crop and the
changing conditions affecting the
production of barley in the United
States are reviewed in the 1922
Yearbook just published by the Unit
ed States department Of agriculture.
The average annual production Of
barley for the ten years 1913 to 1922,
inclusive; was about 193,000,000 Of
bushels. This is not large quantity
when compared with the production
of corn and oats. but is Sufficiently
large to be significant. Much barley
is grown outside the regions where
corn does well and furnishes a grain
feed for livestock in these regions.
Barley gives. high return per acre
in feed and the quantity fed on farms
where grown is constantly increas.
ing.
The acre yield has remained close
to 25 bushels since the Civil War.
The areas Of production have shifted
greatly during the years since 1910,
and especially since the enactm ent
Oh pIOuIDILlOu leRlSldLlOu. "ullc Iuc
acreage is only slightly less, the geo.
graphical location is quite different.
In those sections where barley was
grown as a money crop the acreage
has decreased rapidly This has been
balanced by an increase on scattered
farms over the whole barley growing
areas Of the United States for the
production of feed. The present trend
is toward less localization of produc-
ton and greater farm use.
Changes in the location of barley
acreage have come about in the past
and are now being brought about
largely by two factors, namely, the
ftness of barley for certain geo.
graphic conditions and legislation af-
fectins the market The barley plant
is adapted to regions Of cool sum
rners where the soil is not too sandy
but is we'll drained. 1t does not do
well on poorly drained soils nor un-
der humid conditions where high
temperatures prevail.
