it is interesting to note that the
growth in our exports of milk to
the Orient continues, for it is in
that part Of the world that the de-
mand for condensed and evap
Grated milk is permanent one.
Density of population and the
necessary use of the soil for the
production Of grain foods leave the
Orient, except India where the COW
is considered a sacred animal, de-
pendent upon the Occident for its
milk supply. China with 100000
900 people has but $4,000, 600 cat
tie of all classes and very small
proportion utilized for dairy pur-
poses; Japan with a population OF
over 50,000,000 has but 35z million
cattle of all classes; French Indo-
China with 100000 population
has less than quarter of million
cattle. India, where animal life
and especially that of the COW is
considered sacred by large ele-
ment of the population. has more
cattle than any other country of
the world despite density of popu-
lation. the number of cattle in
India, being. according to latest re-
ports, 130,000000 or nearly double

In keeping with the policy of
this office of informing the pub
lie as to how their funds are
handled, let me call your attend
ion to the State Sinking Fund
Commission Law.
This Act was passed by the
Legislature of 1921. During
the first eighteen months Of it's
existence it saved over 100000
90 in taxes to the different
bonded districts Throughout the
state.
West Virginia is the first
state in the Union to enact such
law. 1t gives to the admin
istration of all bond issues in
the state a central supervision
which makes for uniformity
and efficiency, and adds materi-
ally to the value of all local issue
of bonds thereby enabled them
to be sold at a less rate of inter
est than under the old law.
BY the aid of revolving fund,
which is created by the operat-
ion of the law, all bond issue in
the state are purchased direct
by the State Sinking Fund Com
mission on the deferred deliv-
cry plan; and since the creation
Of the Commission, no delays,
except in a very few instance
have been experienced in furn-
ishing promptly money to the
districts and municipalities on
their different bond issues
On two Of three large bond is
sues the saving has run in ex-
cess of $50,000.00.

lowing the establishment Of the in
dustry, 1892, they turned out A.
600, 900 pounds of tin plate, by 1900
it had reached $4,000, 900 pounds,
in 1908 the outturn passed ! billion
pounds, in 1912 it was over 2,000,-
100000, in 1917 more than 3,000,-
100000, and in 1923 will slightly
exceed the high record established
in 1917 when we were not only
meeting our entire domestic re-
quirements but supplying enor-
nous quantities to other parts of
the world.
Meantime the importations of
foreign tin plate had dropped from
the one billion pounds of 1891
to 95,000,000 in 1911, 10000
600 in 1915, and 100000 in
1917. Since the close of the war
there has been a slight increase in
the importation but still an ex-
tremely small quantity as COM
pared with the domestic produc-
ton, which as above indicated is
now running at the rate of about
3H billion pounds a year.
The whole world has gradually
learned the value of American tin
plate and the exports, which
amounted to less than quarter
OF million pounds in 1900, were
26,000,000 in 1910, 106,000,0 900 in
1914, and with the demands Of the
war jumped to 560,O00, 900 in 1918,
dropping of course with the close
Of the war and resumption of tin
plate manufacture in Europe, but
will stand for the current year at
about 250,000,000 pounds with a
value of approximately $4,000, 900.
All of this 31z billion pounds Of

g This Little Dress Has Lost
It's Belt"
E555E5E5a5E5zs75zs

Ear1s may still go belted, but in
the domain of fashion the belt has
fallen from its high estate, and has
even disappeared entirely. The lit
tie dress in the picture has lost its
belt, but unlike the dog of the song,
it is quite unconcerned. For the
edict of Paris has gone forth that
tight dresses without any belt at all
are a passport to the first rank of the
fashion promenade.
And, moreover, to console it's
self, it has much modernized and
thoroughly nonchalant version of
grandmother's "hchu collar" in the
form of subtly draped scarf of
brown Frostkrepe And, by the
way, brown and black is an unsus-
pectedly effective combination and
one which, says Henri Creange, the
authority on color and line in fab
rio, is being made use Of in many Of
the gowns of the new season. Aside
from this, and its band Of embroi-
dered gallon, our slim dress depends
for its elegance in its princess lines
and the deep lustrousness of black
Satin de Lyon.
The side fastening is another note
which marks this dress for one of
the newest creations. Also, the
long, tight, close fitting sleeves
with the flare coming down over
the hand. A costume, this, of mani
fest utility, which adapts itself to
be worn for almost any occasion in
the day of busy young woman.

The American COW retains her
popularity in the Orient despite
the neglectful attitude of the Occi-
dent. Exports of milk to the ORR
ent in the 7 months ending with
August show a marked increase
while those to other parts of the
world show decline of nearly
one-third, measured in quantities.
In the single month of July the
milk exports to the Orient in
creased 500 compared with July
Of last year, while those to Europe
showed fall off of $50.

Short Courses In n. J. Agriculture

Success in farming, as in all other
kinds of business, depends upon the
application of the labor and materials
in manner and for purposes which
/ will give the greatest financial return
This is known as efficiency. Haphaz-
ard methods in farming are not con-
ducive to efficiency, and therefore re-
duces the chances of success. Our eX-
pertinent station was establish to dis
cover, and our State College to teach,
efficiency in agriculture. For farmers
and their sons who find it 1mpractlc-
able to take the four year course in
agriculture, the college offers the short
courses of three months.
Two benefits are to be derived from
these courses. Farmers acquire eftl-
cient methods which are of immediate
use on the farm. More successful
onerations for the individual farmer
must necessarily follow. Of even
greater Importance is the benefit to be
derived from coming in contact with
men whose purpose is to keep the agrl-
culture of our State on high plane
of efficiency Such contacts cause
farmers to make a fuller use OF their
college after they complete the short
course; for they will wish to continue
the personal acquaintances with these
men and keep in touch with these
agencies which are of constant help.
Through this close association be
tween farmers and the college OF agn-
culture improved methods of farming
continue to be spread throughout the
State, thus contributing to the pros
perity of New Jersev farmers and con
seonently to the welfare of the state
From the standpoint of more ettfl-
cient farming the short courses IN
agriculture represent one of the most
important developments of recent
vears-N. J. Agriculture.
