CITIZENS' MEETING PURSUED RIGHT COURSE

In resolving to raise a publicity fund to counteract the effect of the unpleasant notoriety Sea Isle City received in the so-called land swindle" which was ,Iayed up in big head lines b> the Philadelphia papers, the citizens of Sea Isle City took the right ctMine and they should push the resolve to a speedy conclusion. It may be true, as the reporter for one of the papers stated at the meeting that no aspersions were cast upon Sea Isle City per but just the same a non-dis-criminating public will link the dry and the so-called land swindle—did such a thing exist; which happily does not—together, and ir *wilHuvr to he countriacted just as much as if the

of this paper.

The figures arc a surprise even to us, but they are certainly most gratifying and prove that to him who is willing to use his hands and head the possibilities of agriculture in this State arc

almost limitless.

The figures quoted arc for 1925. those for the present year not being yet available. These show that for diversified farming activities, the State stands in the front rank from a comparative standpoint. Last year the farms of the State represented art investment of $262,188,810.' witty an acreage of 1,924,545.: Of the three leading counties of thr State in valuation, two were South Jersey counties—Burling-^ and Cumberland—the farms | of the latter being valued. at' $24,200,000.
