While moat of Calipeach crop is canned or dried, her carlot shipments of fresh have been increasing. Jersey is third of all States in the number <-f trees in il peach orchards, while North Carolina shows herself compelitsor. with very young trees averaging less than a half yean.

Better Stands of Sweet Potatoes Stale Specialist Nissiey Discusses Subject in Vineland "How to get a better stand of sweet potatoes and consequently make more profit from the crop” was the -object discussed by C. H. Ntssl-y. vegetable specialist of the State Agricultural College, at a meeting of sweet potato growers, held at 81. Mary's Church. Vineland, Thurs-

Stop the Com Borer! When carried on In a careful manner, plowing under of Infest ed cornstalks and corn nubble haa given encouraging results In the control of the European corn borer. It should be emphaaJaed. however, the U. 8 Department of Agriculture point* out. that carelew plowing leaves many piece* of stalks, stubblem weeds, and so upon the soil surface, and Is many borera which crawl to the not effective. Tbla debris shelters surface after being plowed under. They bore Into, or encaae thrmaelres. In such debris, and here many of them transform Into moths. When such shelter Is lacking, the vast majority of the borera Anally perish, either being eaten by birds, beetela or ants, or killed by various native predators or by exposure to the weather. The use of a plow having a wide bottom and which ts equipped with a chain or wire to aid In burying all debris Is an Important help In doing a clean
