Agriculture Is
Recovering In
Jersey, Report
State Department of Agricul-
ture Makes Encouraging
Report To Governor
INCREASE IN FARM
PRICES IS NOTED
Many Beneficial Things Ac-
complished During Past
Year In ElectrificatiOn and
Pest Eradication

That gradual recovery of the
agricultural industry is taking
place in New Jersey, as shown by
4 higher price level of farm pro-
ducts. is indicated in the annual
report of the State Department of
Agriculture, which has recently
been submitted to Governor Moore
by Secretary William B. Duryee.
Further advancement in tnlo ~
portant industry of the State is
noted in the report of the many
activities of the Department, show
ing a greater tendency toward the
use of modern methods on New
Jersey farms.
"A survey of economic con-
ditions in New Jerseys agriculture
shows a gradual but perceptible in
crease in farm prices as compared
with the years of extreme depres-
sion following the war;" said Mr..
Duryee.
There has been an enormous in
crease in the applications for
tuberculin testing of cattle due
partly to new legislation and partly
to realization on the part of herd
owners of its economic value in the
development of a healthy herd.
approximately twice as many hogs
were inoculated against cholera as
in the previous year, with cores
pondingly beneficial results
The formation of commodity com
mittees representing the principal
interests of the state provides for
constructive work among the
poultry interests, the dairy in
dustry, potato growers, tomato pro-
ducers and orchardists. A rural
identification committee has
secured the cooperation of utility
companies in establishing defin-
lite program to further the use of
electrical power in the operations
on the farm and in the farm home.
The report gives promise of the
complete eradication of the gypsy
moth in the state in the near future
if appropriations permit the pres
ent work to be continued. The eX-
tension of the Japanese beetle
quarantine to include the entire
state, as well as New York City
and Philadelphia. permitted ship
ment of New Jersey products to
those markets without inspection.
The Market News Service has
kept more than fourteen hundred
farmers in touch with market
prices, while seasonal reports on
marketing conditions of thirteen
different commodities enabled
| nearly one thousand growers of
fruit and vegetables to market
their products inteiligentlv.
Standardization work included the
certification of 124,734 birds in
253 popultry flocks; the certifi-
cation of 567.75 acres of seed white
potatoes, SO acres of seed sweet
potatoes and 456 acres of seed
tomatoes

Then, he broke his troth, she de-

was suffering torture now in the
revealing knowledge of the havoc
wrought by his conscientiousness.
Bob Terry thought only two
things as his feet beat evenly on
the pavement. ne was that he hated
Peter Borden.
The other was that he wished he
did not respond so instinctily to the
eager friendliness of Lois. And he
wished-oh, how how he wished
that she would stop being sorry for
him.
The waiting room of John Car
mody's suite of offices amazed and
impressed Bob. 1t was tremendous
place in the center of which was a
huge table piled with newspapers
and current magazines. Clients sat
about the room: some reserved
and dignified and unquestionably
of the city's better social class.
There were others who bore the
unmistakable stamp of the half
world. Toward these Terry felt an
instructive friendliness. Here was
the kind among which he had been
for three years: men who we're not
hampered by ethics or any other
instilled instinct, but who broke
the law because it was their nature
to do SO and because they were I'M
fettered by morals.
They looked casually at the new
conner, and one of them-a beetle
browed person sadly in need Of a
shave-vouchsafed the shadow of
a smile. Bob nodded and the man
knew without further question that
this pallid young man was one with
him in spirit.
An office boy inquired the nature
of Bob's business and Terry handed
him the letter of Introduction to
Kathleen Shannon. The boy was

competent and polite. He invited
Bob to have seat and vanished.
Terry selected a chair next to the
beetle-brOWed man, and instantly
that individual spoke, in voice
which was hoarse and rasping, yet
somehow pleasant.
]" 'Lo, buddy"
1t did not occur to Bob to resent
this familiarity of a marked Grim
inal. He merely nodded and tried to
smile, the result being bleak con-
tortion of his lips 'Lo."
Coin in or comm out?" queried
the other, with starting candor and
acumen.

Willie Weaver entered the room,
looking for all the world like a
moving mountain Of muscle as he
posed for an instant on the TIRES
hold, the top of his bald head gleam-
ing like a new billiard ball. His
somewhat watery eyes searched the
room and he started toward Bob
without hesitation.
And then he spoke in his croak-
ing whisper and Bob experienced a
start of surprise. A whisper from
this giant. The voice should have
been booming and reverberant.

Bill Asks For
New PostOffice
$4,000 Structure Provided
for in Congressman Bach
arach's Measure
ASK BUILDING FOR A. C.


A $4,000 postoffice for Pleasant
vile is provided for in bill franz
ed by Congressman Isaac Bacha-
rach for introduction in the present
session of Congress.
The bill asks Tor a million dosar
postal structure in Atlantic City,
and s250,000 building at Wild
wood. When Congress at it's last
session approved OF five year
postoffice building program which
affected 225 cities throughout the
country, none of the tire ecities
was included in the list. Congress
man Bacharach's bill would have
the construction OF the buildings
here be approved as a special mea-
sure.
While the Pleasantville postonice
at present is comfortably housed,
there is a certainty that the city
will need a Low structure within
the next ten years, Postmaster Rol-
lin A. Gale said today in comment
ing on the Congressman move.
This city's ,postoffice is housed at
present on West Jersey avenue
According to Postmaster Gale there
is no congestion, while there is
still room to allow for growth To-
cally. The postoffice has been sit
uated there for two years, and
there are still eight years to run
on the lease.
In discussing the move for a new
postoffice, Mr.. Gale said: Should
the bill go through, it will be at
least six or seven years before The
structure is built Whether or not
postoffice officials are planning 10

cate the construction Of its own

Household Hints
n MRS. MAPY MOPTOA

Use cold water first on egg
stains, then hot water and soap.
If the yolk leaves a grease spot use
carbon tetrachloride or some other
grease solvent after sponging with
cold water and allowing the stained
place to dry.
Jerusalem artichokes are similar
in food value to potatoes. Since
they grow somewhat irregular in
shape. the easiest way to prepare
them for the table is to boil on
bake them in their skins and then
pare them. Boiled Jerusalem arti-
chokes can be served in cream or
other well-seasoned sauces, fried,
or baked in a sauce with grated
cheese and buttered crumbs spread
on top. Baked Jerusalem artichokes
may be served in their skins. or
scraped out and seasoned with
butter, salt and pepper.
Some silks and woods are spotted
by water which dissolves a part OF
the weighing or finishing sub
stance and leaves a ring Some.
times these rings can be removed
by scratching with the finger nail
or rubbing with stiff brush. An
other method is to dampen the en-
tire surface of the material by
sponging with clean water or by
shaking in steam from a briskly
boiling teakettle, and then pressing
while still damp. Still another
method is to dip the entire gar
ment in carbon tetrachloride, gas
oline or other solvent. Gasoline.

caution because OF the fire risk

Senatorial Assurance

Bootleggers who are convicted can expect
no aid from Senator Arthur r. Robinson, or to
be more accurate, no Muncie bootlegger should
have any such hope, if the press agency that is
kind to Senators reports correctly his cor
respondence.
BY far the most amazing bit of news Of the
day is the fact that Senator Robinson sent let
tiers to dry friends in Muncie denying that he
would rush to the aid of the underworld which
is now receiving some scrutiny from both State
and Federal officers.
The sending of such letter is evidence of
The very widespread belief in this State that
officials of high and low degree have used their
offices and their powers for the protection of
crime and criminals
It is amazing that any one should require
from any Senator any assurance that he would
not use his high Office for such purpose.
1t is amazing that any friend of the SEN
ator should find it necessary to call to his at
tention the boasts Of the Muncie bootleggers
that they had nothing to fear because of the
possible influence of the Senator.
There would have been less amazement, it
is true, had not the law firm Of which the SEN
ator is member, been listed as the attorneys
for many liquor law violators when they car
ried their appeals to the Supreme Court.
There are very definite distinctions be-
tween Senator and lawyer. 1t is quite
proper, of course, for Senator's law firm to
represent bootleggers in State courts, but it
would be decidedly improper for the same
Senator to show any kindly interest among
Federal officials in behalf of the violators
That the Senator found it necessary to
dignity the rumors at Munce with formal
denial that he would try to interfere with the
wheels Of justice is its own commentary.
He assures the people of the State that he
will keep his hands off the Muncie matter.
He resents the implication and that is a step
in advance.
The time may even come when Indiana
will have Senator whose grip upon public
confidence is so great that he will not find
it necessary to send assurance that he will not
improperly use his office.
The people will have chance to get such
a Senator in the year 1928.

Ed Howe Sees It Through

When Ed Howe wrote "I'he Story of Country
Town. he faced plenty of Encouragement in getting
it published The Kansas sage sent it first to one of
the leaders in publishing of that day and it was re-
turned
after it had been sent to six or seven others ,"
says Howe, "and returned each time, decided to
print it myself being the editor and owner of small
daily newspaper (the Atchison, Kas. Globe), with
job Office attached.
"The type was set by a man named Kelley with
whom had worked printer long before in vari-
Gus towns Of the west I recall that Kelley was an
old soldier, but not much OF fighter, as he often
told me he tayed tenor horn in the regimental band
GAS Kelley set the type dt was new font of min
ion purchased for that purpose, the printing was
done four pages at a time a job press. Two
thousand copies were run off, and when the sheets
were ready, local bindery bound them in cases
purchased in st. Louis"
The story was written under adverse circunl-
stances Howe did the work almost entirely at night
on the kitchen table, where stood kerosene lamp,
in the house where he still lives today
II had little children tnen lovable and noisy" he
says, land it was my custom to retire to the kitchen
for quiet and work on the story after hard days
work on daily newspaper"
Today the story is being "dolled up"> by publish
ers who at last have come to realize its value as
"a landmark in native letters" We are glad Ed
Howe knew good story when he saw it, even if he
had written 1t himself

Wealth of Issues

AS for Congress, it faces such
a wealth of issues and controver-
sizes as should satisfy the most
exacting politician.
Tax reduction, the oil scandal,
farm relief and Boulder Dam are
already on the calendar, while the
Senate faces the ordeal of deny
ing seats to Ware and Smith be-
fore it really gets going.
The problem Of tax reduction
has been made peculiarly difficult
by the dem and of the National
Chamber of Commerce for
$500, 100000 cut. which is contrary
to what President Coolidge and
Secretary Mellon wish, and by
the position which certain farm
groups have taken for no cut
whatever.

Boulder Dam Up Again

Senator Johnson of California
is ready to re-introduce his bill
for Government construction and
operation Of Boulder Dam.
This is Ole of those measures
which. though seeming to deal
with a local enterprise, really
affect the national welfare be-
cause they form the basis of a
national policy.
First, seven States are in
'terested. Second, these States
have been unable to arrive at a
satisfactory agreement. Third. the
power interests are opposed to
public ownership or operation.
The Boulder Dam project not
only involves the question of State
rights as applied to the develop
ment Of water power, but the
vastly more important question
of whether it should be left en-
tirely to private enterprise, or
whether the Government should
undertake a certain portion Of it.
Considering the part electricity
has come to play in our industrial,
as we'll as social life, and con-
sidering the part water power
is destined to play in the pro-
duction Of electricity, such projects
as that of Boulder Dam and
Muscle Shoals have an important
bearing on the future of this
country.
