Commended

The art critic of the New York

sue highly commended the paintings
now being exhibited there at the

capital studies in American land

too thick and crude an impasto,
but preserving nevertheless merits
of truth and of atmospheric quality.
Mr.. Folinsbee has two excellent
traits. His work is varied in in

A CORRECTION

Lambertville-An error was made
in an item of our last issue under
the heading Auxiliary Women To
Hold Rummage Sale" The Columbia
Fire Company Auxiliary are to hold
the sale instead of the Union, as
was mistakenly reported. The sale
is to be held in the Columbia Fire
House on North Union street Febru-
airy 26th.
The complimentary things we said
about the excellent work of the
Auxiliary, however, was not in err
ror. They all deserve high credit for
the good work they do. But don't
forget that it is the Columbia Aux
iliary that will hold the rummage
sale on February 26. If you have
anything you can contribute to the
sac call phone Lambertville 3M, and
the things will be called for.

S78,7SS.53 FOR
L'VILLE BUDGET
To Advertise Delinquent Taxes


At the Monday evening meeting
of the City Commissioners the 1925
Budget was introduced as an ordin-
ance. 1t provided a total to be
raised by taxation and collections in
the sum of $7S,7SS.53 This repre-
sents some slight changes over the
proposed Budget previously publish
ed but it is only S17G,3l over the
1924 Budget of actual taxes.
There were some slight increases
in various items, but there was n
decrease in the school appropria-
ton of $3,67700. In the final figures
this left the total only slightly in
creased, and should not materially
affect the 1924 tax rate of S4.02 per
500. However, the tax rate is not
fixed by the Commissioners, but
by the County, and it is not yet
known what the exact rate will be.
The Budget in full is published
elsewhere in this issue, and it is to
the interest of taxpayers to study
the figures in order to know how
their money is being spent
A notice is also published to the
effect that the delinquent taxes
have at last been brought up to
date, and will be published March
9Th if not paid before that time.

interrupted Service Serves I,
Show Need of Emergency
Measures.

Lambertville-This city was in
darkness two nights last week, and
industries depending on electric pow
er were paralyzed Wednesday af-
ternoon, all day Thursday, and the
greater part of Friday. The trouble
was due to poles being washed out
on the transmission line during the
freshets resulting from the heavy
rains last week.
The first interruption here last
wednesday was caused when a pole
was washed away at Alexauken
Creek at the northern limits of the
city. This was repaired in a few
hours, but in the meantime poles
were carried away by the flood over
the meadows at Packers Island. in
the Raritan River.
The flood condition prevented
workmen from reaching the line to
make repairs promptly. In the
meantime efforts were made to start
the old Lambertville plant, which
has been kept for emergencies, but
this was futile. When fires were
started under the boilers it develop
ed that the pumps had been froz-
en- and bursted. A hurry call was
sent to Dover, and new pump was
rushed down by truck. But in the
meantime repairs had been made on
the transmission lines and service
was again started.
DEMONSTRATES NEED FOR
PROTECTION
The deterioration of the Lambert
vile plant while lying idle demon
strated that it is impractical to de-
pend on it in cases of emergency
Lambertville is on the extreme end
of the transmission line so there are
greater possibilities of interrupted
service, thus making it imperative
that the town be safeguarded against
shut-downs.
When the New Jersey Power &
Light Co. purchased the local plant
and franchise, this plant was also
supplying New Hope across the river
Shortly afterward the new company
turned the New Hope territory over
to the Philadelphia Suburban Gas
and Electric Co. in return for the
s. kton erritory on this side Of
the river. m

emergency line should be maintained

Describes Development
of New Smutless Wheat

DR.. E. F. Gaines, cerealist at the
Washington Agricultural Experiment
station, gave an illustrated talk on his
work In cereal breeding before the
agronomy seminar Of the Kansas State
Agricultural college. His studies have
been primarily in smut diseases and
in resistance of wheat varieties to
smut infection. Tests Of the degree Of
resistance to smut infection were con-
Quoted on more than 700 varieties of
wheat. A few Of these were found to
be partially resistant.
Crosses were made between resist
ant varieties with hope Of combin-
ing the good qualities Of each and
smut resistance. The cross, Turkey
x Florence, gave promising results.
Turkey wheat used In the cross was
secured from the Kansas station about
1905. A number Of strains from the
cross were thoroughly tested for about
seven years and the most promising
was named Ridit. This variety, now
in the ninth generation, shows almost
complete immunity to sinking smut.

[ntertillage Practical
Plan to DESTROY Weeds

We can't grow food plants and
weeds at the same time. That's been
demonstrated many, many times. The
weeds must be destroyed and inter-
tillage is the only practical way Of
destroying them. Since most all land
Is weedy this theory helps US but lit
tie. But the question is, Is this the
DRY correct for all kinds Of soil?
The problem Of tillage for sandy or
alluvial soils is quite different than
for clay or heavy soils. Crops grow
ing on sandy or alluvial soils may get
along quite well without tillage II
there are no weeds, but how about the
clay soils? Individual farmers have
tried this and, as result, they got
no corn or beets, even where there
were no weeds. Sandy or alluvial soil
and any soil containing abundance Of
humus will remain mellow without TIL
lage, but clay soil settles down hard
and Is almost impervious to air and
moisture. Where it is kept cultivated
this does not happen and better crops
are secured.
A man considered an authority on
soil problems once said: weeds are
good thing. they're blessing to
most farmers, for If there were no
weeds, people would not cultivate as
much as they should. Cultivating not
only kills the weeds but it improves
the physical condition of the SOIL"

Feed Calves Enough
but Don't Overfeed
Do Best if Kept Just a Little
Bit Hungry.

Feed the calves enough, but don't
overfeed them. They will do better
If kept just little hungry. Overfeed-
Ing causes digestive troubles.
These are some of the suggestions
made by the department of animal
husbandry of the New York State
Agricultural college at Ithaca on the
raising and care of calves.
The first thing to remember, says
the college, is that no calf should be
raised for dairy use unless 1t comes Of
first-class parentage-from pure
bred sire and high-producing dam.
Granting this heritage, the dairy calf
will respond to, and should receive,
careful handling.
1t Is best to let the calves stay with
their mothers for two or three days
after birth. Then they should be
taught to drink from a bucket. Care
should be taken to see that the pail
is clean for. as every farmer knows,
calves are subject to digestive dis
orders.
The calf should get from 6 to II
pounds of whole milk daily for the
first three weeks and then may be
gradually switched over to skim milk
and little grain. Most farmers find
1t best to give the calf its grain i'm
mediately after 1t has finished drinking
the milk. A good concentrate allow
ance will contain muscle and bone
building nutrients and will contain
some fat to replace a part Of that
distracted from the milk.
Here are three rations which have
been found good:
Corn 3 parts, bran 8 parts, oats 3
parts, oil meal 1 part.
Corn 5 parts, oats or bran 3 parts,
oil meal 1 part.
Oats 8 parts, bran part, oil meal !

Banking Celery Late in
Summer Is Best Scheme

Most Of the growth in celery occurs
late in summer when the weather Is
beginning to turn cool and from then
on till freezing weather When the
ground Is becoming cool, in Septem-
Der, the soil should be pulled up
around the plants a little at time
until it is half way TO the top. Before
much soil is drawn up, the punches
should be tied. This Is quickly done
by beginning at one end Of row with
ball Of Irvine, one end Of which is
tied to stake driven in the ground.
Beginning with the first bunch Of eel
cry, draw the leaves together with one
hand, and with the other make turn
Of the string about that bunch, then
on to the next without cutting the
string, merely keeping it tight between
stalks. In this way the leaves are
held compactly together without being
tied too tightly.
Not before frost should more earth
be thrown up, for II tends to rot the
stalks If banked while the weather Is
warm. Celery will stand killing
frost or even a light freeze without
injury, but will be destroyed II frozen
hard. When the earth Is cool, some
time between the first frost and the
freezing Of the ground, the soil should
be drawn up from each side to within
few inches Of the top. Double rows
will save some labor in banking. Some
make practice Of adding more earth
with the approach of cold weather,
then a covering of litter or corn fod-
der, so that the celery may be left
where 1t grew through the winter stor-
age period. This method requires a
great deal of labor 10th in storing and
taking out, and Is not to be recon.
mended.

Sherman Prepared
for Any Emergency

Judge Gary at banquet was prais-
Ing an efficient overseer.
"The mans surprising efficiency" he
said, reminds me of Sherman on his
march to the sea. The way Sherman
could repair railroads! The Confed-
crate cavalry lowering in his rear
would tear up mile of track or burn
a bridge, and an hour or so later they
would hear one Of Sherman's trains 20
whistling by. This naturally dis
gusted them.
I'm Confederate conference one
day an engineer proposed that they try
blowing up some tunnels. But another
engineer gave sour laugh and said:
"'No use, boys, Sherman's prepared
for that. He carries duplicate tunnels
with him. Better save our powder -
