Should the Republicans be able to hold enough of these seats to retain their nominal control of the Senate, it will be due entirely to the strength of Mr. Coolidge and not his party. On the other hand, should the Republicans lose both Houses of Congress through the indiflerence of the rank and file of the Republican voter* of the country it need occasion no

the farmer finds his market right his door, and a high-priced market it that. This is especially the case in Cape May County, yet we fear our farmers have not become thoroughly aroused to the advantages which lie at their doorstep. Many of them are too prone to think that easier money can be made trucking, clamming or working around the seashore resorts. Terop#arily this might be true, but the same efforts devoted to the building up of their farms world soon pu< them in a state of production which would make them yield far larger profits than their owners could make in the outside occupations mentioned. One of the hardepr'problems with which the Cape May CounFam Demonstrator has to cope in his efforts to build up the farming industry of the county into a profitable one, capable of taking full advantage of and supplying all the needs of the

Their building means that this county would be linked up with that splendid highway which has its beginning up about the Atlan-

m the coast. It would mean takinc over by the State of the road in ^s county and the making of a Sate highway of it, which would tie us up with thedirect travel from Jfcw York, giving New England, New York and North Jersey folks easy acts to our resorts which they do n possess at this time. The flow of travel ^over this road would be immense and it would lead to the improvement and building up of every foot of seashore front from Ocean City to Cape May Point, and an increase tax ratables which would quickly pay ofi ihe cost of the improveent. But at this time the Board of Freeholders have more calls for money than they have cash to meet the demands, and if they can provide for beginning work on the Townsend's Inlet link in 1927, in addition to meeting the road calls which hive been made upon them, they will do well. One thing can be depended on.

[wising the Board of Freeholders, ihree of whom represent the shore resorts, well k-ww the value this ovement will be to the aeaii wit and therefore to the whole county, and they will let no grass grow under their feet in providing for it as soon as funds

are available.

HEW JERSEY'S

AGRICULTURAL OUTPUT New Jersey in 1925-1926 produced $75,000,000 worth of food ! products. Secretary Duryw, of the Sate Board of Agriculture, has informed Governor Moore in his annual report for the. year ending June 30. This is a pretty snug : sum for a Sate which is regarded | as a manufacturing and pleasure I resort State, but ar the secretary I points out, it is • nowhere near i what the Sate is capable ot producing linger intelligent and in- | tensive fanning. In some sections i agriculture has mad; most grati {tying headway, but in o*her aec I lions the agricultural industry is i not even emerging from past depression. This seems strange i v.-hen is taken into consideration the fact th’t no Sate in the | fnion is pros ided with better | markets near at hand, and for 'very considerable part of the Staf-

fer shipping to nearby dty .mar- 1 kets, is this very one of leaving | the farm to engage in other oc-1 cupations, which results, as Sec- j retary Duryee points out, “in the, spectacle of unworked farms | throughout the Sate while our competitors ship their products directly by these farms at a profit." This is a condition which our farmers should give careful conation, for what others can do they- can certainly do, for soil, dimate,.ease of cultivation and lets are til in their favor, and in addition they have the aasistaoce of one of the best Sate Experiment Stations in the land always at hand to solve their problems with advice and practical

help.

The State Board of Agriculture last year enlarged its field of operations with surveys for the advancement of the agriculture ests of the Sate, among which was that of the increased of electricity on the farm, to faciliute and make .easier the work of the farmer and lighten the duties of the housewife. No ty in the Sate is better situ-

a ted than Cape May for the in- aarily traduction of electricity into farm work and onr farmers should make use of the information con-

the Sttte survey.

One of the satisfactory features of the report is the rapid increase the dairying interests of the Sttte. For the year the increase dairy herds was over one-third, or 3524 per cenj-, and the inin the number of animals

was 17.15 per cent.

The efforts of every banker and business man, .ts well as farmers, should be directed toward leaking agriculture a well balanced pan of our Sttte'ttiife and activity.

Testing are costly operations (arming, yet they contribute only partly toward bringing good yields. A-little extra thought in selecting land salted to the crop to be planted and a moderate additional expease tor fertilisers, high-grade seed and. for eome drape, sprays. wUl more than double the yields of most- crops.

Amid the raucoub blaring of the crimes of the degenerate few. there can always be found the soft notes that speak of the great mass of common, everyday, homely, honest folk, who make up the worth-while part of humanity.

The rent was overdue and they faced eviction. In the hallway where she scrubbed she found a pocket book with two hundred dollars in it. In spite of her great need she turned it over to her employer, saying: "It's better to be honest." The town of Newent, in Southern England, is known as "7 Dafodii Village."
