Protect Apples

The control of rosy green and

upon the application of a concen-

sulfate spray just as the buds be-
gin to swell and assume a silyery

should be completed before the

Potato Yields

Ten bushels more of potatoes
an acre as the result of investing
81 for seed treatment was the
gain obtained in tests on Mon
mouth County farms last year, fl
CURES from the agricultural agent
there show.
Early reports on intentions of
farmers indicate that they will
plant a largely increased acreage
to potatoes this year, which will
probably lower prices decidedly.

NATURALlSTS EXPLORE.
Visit Barrens Back of Tuckerton

A party of naturalists under the
capable guidance of William REM,
of Absecon, visited the barrens
back of Tuckerton early this
week. The roads through this
desolate country are the same
that Washington army is said to
have marched over, and in practl-

were $50 years ago. Mr. Renn
piloted his party through safely,
Their search for Pine-Barren
flowers was very successful. Am
ong those found was the little
known Corema, which was lost to
the botanists for many years.
PIXIE and Turkey Beard were
found. Professor Clarence k.
Williams, of the University OF
Vermont, was one of the party
and found precisely what he came
for, in that 80 miles of desolation
where little else is seen than deer.

The SYRIANS
Bv REV. ANTHONY BAsH1Rl.


The number of SyTiars in this
country is about a quarter of a mil
lion. In the middle ages the SyriaHs
were mainly merchants, whose colo
nies, not only on the sea and river
shores, but in the less accessible re-
gions, literally dotted the map of the
continent In the valley of the DAN
ube their mercantile activity led them
to penetrate as far as Apulum They
reached Bordeaux by Gironde, and as
cended the Rhone as far as Lyons!
The ruins of their temples and es-
Establishments in Palermo and Puteoli,
Qtaly), Tarralgo and Malga (Spain),
Lyons and Aries (France), Geneva and
Lebatic (Switzerland) can still be
seen.
Every branch of commerce and
many branches of manufacture have
been entered by this immigrant peo-
pie. But all Syrians are not traders
or manufacturers. Large numbers Of
them are factory operatives, mine
workers, brass polishers mechanics,
carpenters masons and even farmers.
There are also Syrian priests. law
yers, doctors, ministers, writer's, edi-
IOrS, IedCueIS anu
Nearly all the Syrians coming here
are adherents in some form of the
Christian faith. Indeed, the migra-
tion from Syria has always been
Christian migration. The olott9rs in
the United States police registers sell
dom disclose Syrian name, TACT
significant of the infrequency of law
breaking of any sort among the Syr-
ians.
In Egypt and the Sudan, the Syrian
immigrants control the literally lie
and with the English the political
life of the nation.
National Movements
Syrian national movements may pc
classified under the heads or rells-
ious, social, educational and political.
OF the first little need be said.
Syria is the cradle Of Judaism
Christianity and Islam. The Syrian
is religious and his religion tends TO
ward sectarianism. He is more dog
matte and less practical than the
western but in no other country,
perhaps, does religion play such
vital part in the life of the individual
and the nation.
The social organizations again show
the clanish spirit. They are based
mostly on family and geographic dl-
visions The United Syrian society
and the Syrian American club are
social non-sectarian organizations.
The former has for it's purpose the
Improvement of conditions of the
Syrian immigrant while the latter
has for it's purpose the advancement
of all principles of free government
among natural and foreign born
Syrians residing within the United
States
Among educational movements in
the United States, the only one
worthy of mention is the Syrian Edu-
cational society which has established
chapters in the various parts of the

chance for the pennant must get the
best of catching.
During the first two months of play

York i'm the American have been the
two outstanding feats
1t is rather interesting fact that

Val Picinich, who last year shared
the catching woes of the tail-end
Boston Red Sox, only to be waived
out of the league, has done most OF
the catching for the Cincinnati Reds.
Collins and Picinich, in their new
roles, have delivered with ven
geance.

Hor1,sby,s Task.

Will the added responsibility OF
managing a major league ball club
defeat the desire of Rogers Hornsby
to top Ty .Cobb's record of leading
major league in batting for nine sue
cessive years?
Cobb piled up such a remarkable
performance in the American league
prior to taking up the managerial
reins at Detroit.
Last season was Hornebys hrs as
manager. Since he took the clubs
direction after it had got away to a
very poor start, the showing of the
club for the year didn't enter into
his worries to any great extent.
This year it's different. The Car
dinals, picked by a majority of the
experts as the dark horse" of the
National league race, have failed to
live up to expectations.
No doubt this has been distinct
disappointment to Hornsby, who Zig
ured only two clubs in the league as
superior to his team, Pittsburgh and
New York.
No doubt these worries have al
ready been reflected in his batting
since his average is below standard
for this time of the year.
