CAPE MAY COUNTY

OF INTEREST TO THE FARM AND HOME

CUMBERLAND COUNTY

Edited by W. COLLINS THOMAS

Vineland Sib-Expewment Station

' 'Kitchen Tour To Cape May Farm Homes

If our poultrymen of Cape May and Cumberland Counties ^ are on the job. ready to support any movement which will be for o their benefit. 1 am sure they are doing all they can to boost the pro-

posed sub-experiment station at Vineland.

For several years Dr. J. J. Black, poultry pathologist o: the

New Jersey Experiment Station, has been located at Vineland and has done migtry creditable work. I am personally acquainted with numerous instances in which Dr. Black has rendered valuable help to poultrymen in Liis section. Vet his services have been limited due to a lack of facilities and equipment for studying and diagnosing

diseases and parasites wh.ch tend to keep down poultry profits. The Slate Legislature is bemg asked for a small appropriation

sufficient for providing adequate buildings and equipment at \ mrLnd for carrying on this work, and in order that practical control measures may be developed for checking certain poultry diseases and parasites. Surely it would be hard to find a more worthy

cause which to appropriate a like amount of money. Speaking of sub-experiment stations, very few- will deny that the poultry interests of South Jersey justify the expenditure of sufficient money to preside for adequate laboratories at Vineland. Yet. in planning for the enlargement of the poultry laboratory, why not consider including fruit, vegetable, and farm crops at the sub-station. Hy this is not meant to auggest starting all branches immed utrlv, but merely to anticipate a sub-experiment station in South Jersey wdiich will include at least poultry, fruit,

vegetables and farm crops. ^ ^

Valve of Sve-Station

The main value of having a sub-station in South Jersey v study poultry diseases, lies principally in the fart that it is mud more vxessable than the Experiment Station at New Brunswick Scores of farmers have availed themselves of the services of Dr Black, at Vineland, who would not have taken or even shippci their sick birds to New Brunswick. There are even more vital reas ons why South Jersey shoulc' have some central point for the study of vegetables, fruit and fam crop problems. There are differences in altitude, climate and then are surely vast differences in soil condirioM. Crop and soil fertilit.studies on the heavy day soil of the Experiment Station at New Brunswick mean little when applied to the light sandy loams ol

South Jersey.

—— • ft.' Under the direction of the various departments at New Brunswick, and supervised by even one trained man. tbe work of such an experimental farm in South Jersey could be of unlimited value.

For many of the counties of New Jersey hundreds of boys and girli have taken advantage of the Frelinghuysen Fund. Through this fund any farm boy or girl between 10 and 21 years of age may borrow money for the purchase of pure bred poultry, or a

pure bred calf, or pig.

It is strange that more use has not been made of this fund by the farm boys and girls of Cape May and Cumberland counties.

It is doubtful if there could be any' more effective means of arous-l Mr ‘- William Epler. ing interest in pure bred stock and getting more of it into this' Nor,b Wildwood; Mrs.

section than could be done through boys and girls club work. Tbe most favorable thing about obtaining money from the FrrImghuysen Fund for the purchase of pure bred stock is that there are absolutely no "strings" to it. The boy or girl simply gives a note promising to pay the money back within one year—no endorsement being required other than their signature.

There are surely numerous boys and girls in this section who could make considerable spending money by developing a small flock of pure bred Rhode Island Reds, or Barred Rocks, or some other good breed and selling hatching eggs. During 1926 the sum of $10,6!6 was loaned from the Frelinghuysen Funf for this purpose. No doubt a larger sum will be loaned this year. I would like to hear from parents having sons or daughters who can use some of this money to advantage. 1 have little doubt that

it can be easily arranged to get it for 'hem.
