At MT. VERNON Az.
Shore Fast Line Acts After
COunciImen Declare Cross
ing Unsuitable.

Following a letter from the City
Council in which members declared
that q crossing constructed by the
Atlantic City and Seashore rail
road over Mt. Vernon avenue in
Mortified was not as wide as the
street, and protesting against the
grades width, the company has
made the crossing as wide as the
highway.
The letter OF protest was sent
officials of the Shore Fast line

recent meeting after the crossing
had been reported placed. Council
men at this meeting declared that
the crossing was not up to their
expectations.
The Councilmen requested that
crossing be placed at that point
because of the Mt. Vernon avenue

built, and is now filled with North
field children almost to it's capa-
city. The railroad acted almost i'm

Production OF
Peaches Large
'Irebled in New Jersey During
Past Fifteen Years,
Speaker Says.

That peach production in New
Jersey has trebled in the past l.
year was brought out in an address
by Harry b. Weiss, Chief oil the
Bureau Of Statistics and Inspection
State Department of Agriculture
/ before the State Horticultural
Society in Atlantic City recently
| His analysis of a recent survey OF
the peach industry showed that tn
production trend sor the entire
| United States is upward.
In New Jersey in 1910, the 5-year
average peach production was 700,
/ 600 bushels, while for the 5-yea1
period ending in 1925 it was LAO,
000bushels, and the 1926 crop
total nearly 100000 bushels, due
chiefly TO the unusually favorable
weather during the entire growing
season. The increase, in the entire
United States for the same period
has been much less, the 5-year
average in 1910 being 39,000,000
bushels as compared to the average
of 47,000,0 bushels in 1925. 1t the
unusually large crop of 67,000,000
bushels in 1926 were included, the
rate of increase would be much
higher.
In New Jerseys competing
states, peach production has in
creased considerably in Georgia,
and to Il lesser extent in Pennsyl-
vania and New York. Production
in Maryland, Delaware and Virgil
MIA has continued at a fairly uni.
form rate, with tendency to de-
cline, although the planting of
young trees has been active and if
continued larger crops will be
placed on the market ircm those
states also. In Georgia the 5-year
average production in 1910 was
100000 bushels, and the average
production of The 5-year period
ending in 1925 was 6,400,O00
bushels.
Statistics of the ages of trees of
certain important varieties in New
Jersey and competing states were
presented by Mr.. Weiss. These will
probable production for number
of years to come, and assist in de
termining future paintings. New
Jersey has a small percentage of
non-bearing tress, i. e., under three
years, and a larger percentage of
trees over ten years, than most of
the competing states.
The planting trend has increased
from 1913 to 1924 in Georgia, North
Carolina. South Carolina, Illinois,
California. Tennessee, and for the
United States as whole. Declines
in the total number of trees have
taken place in New York, Delaware,
Virginia, Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania, but there is a recent ten
dency to set out more trees and if
continued the totals will again be
as great as in 1919.
In New Jersey the Elberta has
continued as the favorite for the
past ten years or more. For the
past three years. the j., ii. Hale
variety has increased considerably
in popularity. many more trees
living been planted during that time
than previously On the other
hand. Carman. Belle of Georgia
Champion and Hiley have been
declining in popularity. the plant
ines of these varieties having
slowed up during the past few
years. There is an increasing ten
dency in this state to plant more
miscellaneous varieties.

COTTONSEED TREATED.

Tucson-a machine for treat
ing cottonseed with sulphuric
acid has been invented by James
G. Brown and Frederick Gibson
of the University college of agri.
culture. The advisability of de
luting cottonseed has been known
since 1911, when practiced by
Dr.. Dugger in the Alabama agri,
cultural experiment station.
1t is told that the sulphuric
acid treatment of cottonseed has
tens germination, but is of spe
cial value in that it kills moles
and gacteria. The delinted cot.
ton is smooth and much more
easily handled than the lined
seed, this considered in itself
enough to repay the cost of treat.

ment.
The Brown. Gibson machine
can be built for about $400. It
handles two or three sacks of
seed in less than Is minutes.
Commercial sulphuric acid is to
be had at Douglas for SIG ton.
"a ton of acid will treat 5000
pounds of seed, enough to plant
1S0 acres. In all the cost Of
treatment is not expected to run
above 20 cents an acre. Belief
is expressed that a much health.

secured from the treated seed

that questionable methods would not
be resorted to. We find there no
evidence of a desire to restrain eX-
cessive expenditures except in In
stances where 1t is thought some
partisan advantage may be secured
by the complainants. Such an at
titude has been evident throughout
the activities Of Senator r. eds inves-
legations.
While this attitude nowise exon
crates those who may violate the
laws restricting campaign expen-
ditures, and while the restriction OF
such expenditures is generally ac-
cepted as good public policy, never
theless it should warn us to look
upon the charge with distrust and,
if we would be fair, to Withhold judg-
ment until the facts shall have been
cleared up. In the matter of these
charges against Mr. Gould, we be-
lieve Republicans will, unless some
of them should happen to be seeking
for an excuse to vote for the Demo-
cratic candidate, reserve their con-
illusions until the evidence is all in.
And until that evidence may be had
through no delay on his part, should
regard him innocent,

WAIT FOR THE EVIDENCE

Whatever we may think of the
practical wisdom of all the limit
ations of the law restricting excessive
campaign expenditures. we must
recognize that the purpose back of
this law is eminently proper, that 1t
did not have it's origin in any desire
for partisan advantage, rather in a
desire to advantage the public. We
now are made aware that appeals to
1t may, and In some instances appear
sire for partisan advantage.
One of the letters, purporting to
have been sent to Senator Reed-the
date of these letters and the names
Of the writers, are conspicuous by
their absence, having been withheld
when the contents of the letters were
given to the press-states: "Tt is
persistently and widely charged that
Arthur r. Gould, the Republican
nominee for u. S. Senator from this
State, spent excessive sums Of money
in securing his nomination." etc.
Why. If this were true, if belief
has been widespread t. - .cessive
sums were spent. did the COM
plainants wait until few days be-
fore the election, and then only make
broad allegation without specifying
any instances? Manifestly the pur-
pose back of this Is not to clear up
for the understanding o. e voters
the exact facts in the matter. but
rather for the purpose of spreading
abroad an impression of guilt to pre-
judice the voters, who might not be-
come aware of the facts prior to the
day Of election?
One should hesitate to look to such
partisans for protection Of the purity
OF the ballot. Surely there is no as
surance to be found in such quarter
