“Peninsula of Opportunity," and the opportunities are by no means exhausted. Instead, like Dr. Conwcll's ''Acres of Diamonds,” they lie scattered at our feet in every direction, and as Air. Hall cays, “It is not until the visitor explores the vast territory on the mainland that he is aware of the great possibilities latent in Cape Mi V County.” While every one of «ur twelve seashore resorts are just in the budding stage and await the full flower of fruition— even Cape May— it is the main land whose great agricultural rcsounes have just been scratched

over on the surface.

In these thousands of acres of k-ndly fertile soil there lie hidden j

the wealth of a Croesus, onlp cn,rr *

•waiting opportunity and proper development to bring it into

force.

As tht little booklet says, “No where else can be found so nearly perfect a combination of favorahe 0 nd it ions of climate, soil, crops and markets and nowhere else can the prospective farmer hr more sure of success than in the fertile uplands” of Cape May

County.

Here arc combined all the elements of success, needing only an

intelligent application of approved NUISANCE OF methods to make them productive NEGLECTED LOTS

though they had started the fire in national forest preserves. In short the government pro-

poses to protect the national I forests against carelessness, sta- ; { tistics proving that ninety prr 1

cent, of the fires which bum over the forests of the land, causing an annual economic loss running into millions of dollars, arc due to man's carelessness and can be

prevented.

We have no government forests in this section, but this broad decision of the highest court in thr land establishes a principal—that of forest protection—which should serve to strengthen fire wardens in enforcing the present laws of the State and creating a demand for stricter statutes if necessary. Forest fires this spring were not ■S destructive as usual in South Jersey, which is an additional reason lor throwing greater safe- •• guards around the young timber, which by another spring will have

had two years’ growth. The wastefulness we allow
