Cause of Polish Trouble

WARSAW, Nov. S.-The Polish
government. which is not we'll off
financially, is constantly confronted
with the serious problem of keeping
the government employees content
with their pay. but apparently meets
with little success in this respect.
The sudden drop of the Polish mark
recently and the consequent rise in
prices placed the government en-
ployees in IN embarrassing situa-
ton and a general strike among
them was threatened. Several of
the leaders were dismissed.
The government is making an eff
fort to improve the lot of the civil
servants by appealing to the rich
industrialists. Owners of coal mines
and textile factories are to be called
upon to supply coal and warm cloth
ing to government employees free
during the winter.

VEGETABLES WILL
Be CHEAPER, is CLAIM

Within the coming year consumers
should be able to buy canned vege-
tables at prices based upon the real
merit of the product, according TO
a statement just issued by the New
Jersey Federation of County Boards
of Agriculture, which has been
working for several years with agri-
cultural leaders in the various states
to bring about the purchase of to-
matoes, peas, corn and other canned
vegetables on the basis of grade and
quality. Representatives of the
growers and Gamers interests from
New York, Maryland, Indiana and
Ohio, meeting with the Federation
officials at Atlantic City, N. j., last
week, confirmed the tentative sched-
ule of grades upon which the organ
lied canhouse growers Will sell their
crops to the canneries. Final rati-
ication of the grades and acceptance
of the schedule by the cannery men,
which purposes to be accomplished
within the year, will pass along the
benefits of the grading to the ulti-
mate consumer. Further action on
the proposed schedule of grades will
be taken within the month.
The Federation will call a meet
ing shortly of representatives from
the New Jersey Bureau of Markets,
county agents and leading canhouse
Counties of central and southern
New Jersey. The State Committee
now considering the organization OF
the State Canhouse Tomato Grow
ers' Association, initial plans for
which were originated last year by
the farm bureau and market repre-
sentatives of New Jersey, will rec
ommend the grading schedules as
the basis for it's contract relations
with the canneries.
Similar action is being taken this
month by the organized canhouse
in other states. Final con-
s~ideration of the uniform grades
will be made by all of the states
as early in the season as possible,
so that the new method of selling
vegetables to the canneries will be
effective before the next contract
season.
Commenting upon the effect to the
of this development in the
canhouse business, Louis A. Cooley,
Secretary of the New Jersey Fedora
ton of County Boards of Agriculture,
said:
1.-THE proposed method of selling
vegetables to the canneries on the
basis of quality is another example
of true cooperation of equal bene-
fit to producers, the intermediate
marketing system and the ultimate
The vegetable producers

their mutual interests. The organi-
cations are of the usual approved
commodity type, cooperative and
non-profit, and the effects of CO.
operation in the cannery industry
are as valuable to the consumer as
in the case of peaches, apples,
wheat, eggs and live stock.
zone of the factors which has
kept back the more rapid develop
ment of the canning industry has
been the loss in vegetables unfit for
canning purposes which are being
purchased by the canneries under
The blanket contracts with the grow
ers. The proposed schedule of grad
ing, upon which the grower and cam
house buyer can come to an agree
ment at the source, minimizes the
waste and enables the ultimate con
sumner to receive a quality product,
the price of which is based entirely
on the merit"

FARM CROPS GAIN AS ACRES
DECLINE, SURVEY SHOWS

MADISON, Wis, Nov. S:-Agri-
cultural production in the United
States during the last decade has in
creased. although the number of
acres in agriculture has declined, &C
cording to statistics compiled by the
Institute for Research in Land Eco
Monies and Public Utilities, with
headquarters here.
The study indicates a return of
agriculture to normal conditions by
the steady increase in population,
and includes a comparison of the
increase in population with the in
terest in land devoted to agriculture.
The farm area increased only APP
proximately nine percent from 1910
to 1920. and most of this was in the
semi-arid states" the summary de-
clares. There were fewer acres in
farms in 1920 than in 1910 in man.
of the states in the corn belt and in
virtually all the states east of the
Mississippi river.
Part of this decrease is accounted
for by errors in former enumeration
and in the south by failure to in
clude woodland as a part of the farm
area. The growth of cities, develop
ment of factories, industries, mining
and the increase in highways and
railroads account for the remaining
decrease"
More significant is the permanent
reversion of farm land to forest and
brush because it was not fit for ag-
ric%ulture," the summary continues.
"Throughout the eastern section,
land has gone back to a more eco
nomical use. The last census re
veals an increase Of 5.5 percent in
area of improved land. The increase
in unimproved land is almost equal
in acres to the increase in all farm
land. The significant fact is that
production has maintained and even
increased by more intensive utiliza-
ton of the better lands and less
intensive use of poorer lands

Can Keep Office, Supreme
Court Rules

TRENTON. Nov. S-A writ of re-
view was yesterday dismissed by the
supreme court, when Frederick DIE
bert attempted to unseat Reuben
Forgotson, as police justice of South
Amboy.
Diebert sought a writ of %certiorari

ground that the ordinance naming
Forgotson was not legally passed.
Forgotson was appointed by the
city authorities in 1920 as police jus
