cheerful amount of sunlight and the
arrangement of the breakfast nook be-
tween the kitchen and the dining room
is especially happy. Note that this
passageway is equipped with a cup
board.
The kitchen, large enough for
utility, is not too large for efficiency.
An adequate pantry is provided, light
ed by a window over a work table.
The hall leading to the bed rooms
may be reached either through the
reception hall or from the kitchen.
The bath is conveniently situated,

vided generously with closet room.
The approximate cost of this resi-
dence may be about $1,000, although
SO many varying factors enter into
costs that it is impossible to make an
estimate which is at all accurate for
all sections of the country. Among
the factors which make for wide
variance in cost prices are difference
in materials selected, distance of the
location from the materials markets
and the local labor market.

Potato is Put on
Trial For Life

A large audience interested in potato
production in the western part OF Mon
mouth county listened to the
presentation of public trial Of the
potato at Clarksburg Saturday
night.
This public trial, sponsored by the
State Potato Improvement committee,
presented with unusual and novel
force the case of the potato as a crop
in Monmouth county. The pr 'secu-
ton endeavored to show that n. j.
potato, represented in person at the
| trial by a masked party, was an
undesirable inhabitant and should
be deported, This side of the case
also brought out that serious losses
had been sustained in Monmouth
county by growing the potato IN
large acreages, and summoned q
banker, Henry Wikoff, cashier of the
Hightstown Trust company, and q
icounty agent, Elwood Douglass, to
prove that the potato was undesirable
and should be eliminated.
The defence called several growers
and dealer. Edward Rooney OF Eng
lishtown, to prove that the potato IT.
self was not guilty of these losses
but that speculation in The crop and
poor methods of production and
marketing together with over-pro-
duct on had given the defendant bad
reputation.
A jury of men and women called
from the audience listened attentive
ly to the case and after deliberation
brought in a verdict of not guilty, at
the same time recommending that
methods of production and market
ing be improved and acreage re-
duced.
Many important new points and
a great deal of data were brought
out in this trial in a highly in
teresting and novel way. Included
among the witnesses were James
Mcknight of Clarksburg and Ernest
Drehaut of Red Valley. The cast,
made up entirely of potato growers.
included Fred Drummer, Judge, and
Howard Butcher. counsel for the de-
Tense, both Of Cranbury. The pros
ecutor was Frank MacNamee and
the court clerk was Fred Groves, both
OF Plainsboro, while the part of the de-
PENDANT was taken by w. b. Duryee
also of Plainsboro.
The trial will be presented again
at the Allentown Farmers institute
on the evening of Nov. 20, where q
large crowd is expected to hear the
arguments again presented on this
important problem.
