Of the state department OF conservation
and development his ideas for
forestration in New Jersey, with
particular reference to beautifylng

planted along the highways, SO that
when improvements come trees VIII
not be sacrificed.
THE state forester will plan ana

Jersey Mari Used As
SOftener Of Water

A new use for New Jerseys greens
and mari of the southern section Of the
state was announced Tuesday Wnen u
of conservation and development that
tract has been purchased at Bir-
M ingham, Burlington county and the
marIdeposits there are being used IN the the!
manufacture of device ior soitehln |, =
water for industrial and household
purposes.
During the war when the supply Of
German potash was cut off, 1t was
thought that the mari deposits could oe
used as fertilizer, as it is rich In potash;
Exhaustive experiments We're carried
out with view to isolating the pota b,
but The project was never made cheap
enough for commercial purposes
The reported new use as a water
.oftan;ng apency to which the mari
may be put, if successful, will increase
materially the return from New Jersey s
mineral resources.

Lewis Morris writing the Bishop 81
London on the Religious Condition OF

Town (ship:)
Freehold was settled from Scotland
(Mr. Keith began the first settlement
there and owned fine plantation
which he afterwards sold and went
to Pennsylvania About one-half Of
the inhabitants are Scotch Presbyterian
and a sober people. The other part was
settled by people (some from New
England, some FROM New lork and
some from the fore mentioned towing
referring to Newark, Bergen, etc, pre-

are generally speaking Of no religion.
There is in this town Quaker meet
house. (this was at Topaneinus) but
most Of the Quakers who built it have
followed the views of Mr. Keith and
have lot fixed yet on any religion,
etc. We are aware the Rev II y.
Smith in his Sketch OF Id Scots,
does not consider this proof but we
are constrained to- believe otherwise.

Iof Freehold's Township conditions as

ina petition to the Society for the Prop
agation Of the Gospel. which bears
