SPEAKING OF CROPS

The yields of grass hay and mixed
hay in New Jersey are extremely
small this year and some farmers
are wondering whether there is still
time to get in an emergency hay
crop. 1t would seem we'll worth
while to put in either Sudan grass
OF millet up until the middle of
July in North Jersey and the latter
part of July in South Jersey. Ac-
cording to the experience of the -Ag-
ricultural Station, says H. R. Cox,
crops specialist, Sudan grass is the
more valuable of the two. 1t may
be used as hay, as pasture, or as a
soiling crop. The feeding value of
Sudan grass may be increased by
growing soybeans or cowpeaS with
it.
In spite of the dry weather which
has burned up the pastures and
caused low yields of grass hay, there
are two forage crops which have
shown only slightly the effects of
the drought. They are alfalfa and
sweet clover. The first cutting of
alfalfa was practically as large as in
a normal year. The same is true Of
the two years growth of the bien-
NAL sweet clover. Here are two
crops which will be used to a great
Ell extent in the future as their ex-
cellent qualities become more gem
orally understood.
There was a time when we paid
more attention to quality in red
clover iced than to source, being
satisfied with good termination and
freedom from weed seeds. We are
now filming out hiatt red clover a
ries considerably in winter hardi-
ness according to the source of the
seed. Experiments conducted in this
and other states leave no room fo-
doubt that domestic seed from Ohio,
Michigan and the other northern
states is much more desirable than
seed from the warmer countries.
such as Italy and France. 1t looks
as If this might account for some
of the failures with red clover IN
the past.

sidewalks on Grant avenue and Rail-
road avenue, being the lowest bid
der for the work. Bids were sub
mitted at the last session of the
council. other contracts for curb
ing of Grant avenue and Railroad
avenue were withheld pending a
decision from the taxpayers of these
streets whether they would favor
concrete or bluestone work. Re-
naming bids will probably be
awarded at the next council session.
A series of resolutions introduced
by Councilman Frank Andres were
approved. They authorize the en-
gineer and street supervisor to make
necessary connections of sewers, gas
and water mains on Mary street,
Pershing avenue, Lefferts street and
Railroad venue in line with the or

were given and the present action
was to enforce the ordinance.

the 1923 road budget. Ordinances
are to be introduced at the next
council meeting.

because in his belief the tractor is
not operating satisfactorily. It was

bers Of the council to proceed with
the building code plans as he believ-
ed the situation warrants that i'm
mediate action in that direction he
taken. There is a great deal of
building going on at the present

POLICE MOVE
FOR CARTERET
2 New Officers Named and
Motor Patrol-AmbuIance
is Urged at Meeting

CARTERET. July 10 The local
police received considerable atten-
ton at the adjourned meeting OF
the borough council held last night.
Two new patrolmen, Louis Kelesch
and Joseph Furian, have been added
to the department effective at once,
appointment having been made by
Mayor Mulvihill with the consent
of the council body. Councilman
Harmed, chairman of the police COM
mittee reported that the police de-
partment has been handicapped
with the absence of several men.
Motorcycle Officer Sheridan is still
confined to the bed at an Elizabeth
hospital, one of the men was dis
charged some weeks ago, while two
others r on their vacation. He
recommended that new men be
added to the force. The appoint
ments were confirmed without oppo-
sition.
The question of an ambulance
patrol wagon was brought up by
Councilman Child. In his resolu-
ton introduced to the council, MI
Child recommended the purchase OF
a motor-driven ambulance which
would serve the purpose Of patro.
wagon as we'll. In view of the in
creasing population and inadequate
equipment the need of this equip
ment was inevitable, Mr.. Child
said. Following the introduction OF
the ordinance, Councilman Harmed
opposed its passage declaring that
1t would not be advisable to pur-
chase 1t at this time, pointing tc
the expenses. However, Mayor Null
vihill approved Mr.. Childs' sugges-
ton but limited that he would not
want to exceed the budget limit es-
tablished for 1928.
Councilman Child, urging the am
bulance, said that it would pay for
itself within a short time, that the
money expended on taxis hired by
| the department would pay for the
machine. He also remarked that
in cases of serious accidents, long
| delays are caused and some of the
victima have had to suffer for sew
| eral hours before an ambulance
from out-of-town reaches the bor-
ough. 1t was also suggested that a
plot of ground be rented from the
Liebig company which faces the
borough and erect a shanty to house
the equipment. The plan to house
machines in the firehouse was no
favored.
The resolution was finally re-
ferred to the police committee 70.
