Inst week the TIMES stretacd the importance of the use of better •eed. poultry and cows on Cape May County farms, arculni; that they would give the fanner and

poultryman far more mooej

H waa rather a coincident that when that article was being written, onr wide-awake County Director of Ft nance. H. Foster Ooalln. of Wildwood. In an address at a Scuth Jersey booster meeting In Atlantic City, should lay particular emphasis on more Intensive and Intelligent fanning as one of the great aeedi. of this section, am', we don't think anyone will con-

trovert bit conclusions.

r *Pe May County fanners have a kindly soil and one that Is easily tilled, but do many of them understand It and do they farm the land Intensively and intelligently- Without any Intention of reflecting on our farmers. It la nevertheless a fact that in their business as In every other, there Is always somethin* new to learn and when a man stops learning, when he know. It all. he has reached the end of hla tether and there Is no more

progress for that man.

One of the great troubles with too much of our farming is that It Is spread over too large a territory. reaping from five acres what one should produce, at a great sar-11 tag in labor and shoe leather We have in mind a trucker In Cumberland County who had eight acres, sold three of it off and said be would sell two more, but the shape of his five acres waa such that he could not. and that man made money on live acres, because he farmed it intensively. We recall that one year he cut 11.100 worth of lettuce from one acre, and that waa the third crop that one acre. produced that summer. Yes. It was under Irrigation and waa very heavily manured, but It produced results and that at less coat than the same crop cut from three or four acres. That was not only Intensive farming, but it waa Intelligent farming, and there is! plenty of land In Cape May Co-mtj

that will produce i the same kli

and hand work, and the farmer of this county has as gooo markets at hsiwi as the Cumberland man. and even better, for he has the local markets, whereas the man in the adjoining county had to ship all his produce to New York. Such farming as tils would mr.ke our county a veritable garden and would return dollars where the farmers today, cr at ieasumany of them, do pot get dime* This question of more Intensive and Intelligent farming Is not only a local question but a national one.

For a Free Bridge

Philadelphia Bulletin: President Hall, of the City Council, still believes in a free bridge over the Delaware and continues to oppose the levy of tolls. When the two States of Pennsylvania and New Jersey are appropriating money at each successive legislative session to free their interstate bridges across the Delaware of toll systems, there is s marked Incomistcncy in proposal that the biggest interstate bridge of them all. and the one that Is to be of the greatest service to traffic be handicapped by toll gate*

At any rate, it is safe to say he ould have made a harder try j

quarters, however, to read Into them an intimation that the Legislature will be asked to reverse itself on the tolls question and yield to the clamor of New Jersey politicians who have sought to inject the issue into the situation prior to the completion of the

bridge.

Neither the illogical position of the New Jersey toll advocates, their refusal to fulfill tMr contract with Pennsylvania and Philadelphia to build tbe bridge, the futile attempt, by means pitifully meager "straw to make it appear that this State and city are ready to abandon their deliberate declaration in favor of a free bridge, would Justify a request to the Legislature
