SOME NEWS OF THE FARM SOUTH JERSEY SHIPMENTS Importance to Country's Welfare of The Agricultural Indmstry More perishable freight was shipped j by farmers} of Southern New Jersey | during the month ol fcJuIy than in any j previous month in the ^history of that i section. A trillion a half dollars worth ^ of .produce was distributed over the j New England States, the Middle West, j and Canada from points located on tbe 1 West Jersey & Seashore Railroad, a i part of the Pennsylvania Railroad System. | InJulv, 1907, the value of produce shipped by farmers of the six lower counties of.New Jersey was $746,800. In 1908 thejestimated value of the shipmeuta was $1,178,000, while July of thias year shows an .increase over 1908 of $385,600. _ The total number of cars used to transport this.Ireigbt was 3,909 — over 87 miles of cars if placed end to end. Two thousand, three hundred and twenty-two cars of potatoes were shipped from Southern New Jersey in July, while it required 1,047 cars to haui the tomatoes offered for transportation. The other 640 cars were loaded as follows: Apples 6, berries 148, calms and oysters 156. fish 148, peppers l». poutlry 46, mixed carloads 9. In the last three years the Pennsyl- 1 vania Railroad^ias^been conducting a j development campaign in behalf of the | agricultural and commercial interests j | of New Jersey. Commission merchants, j and ^buyers ail ^over the country have neen supplied with lists |of reliable growers and shippers in that section, j ancfthe result has been that the market 1 for Southern New Jersey produce has ; been greatly widened. Ifi addition, to j enable the farmer to market his pro- 1 ducts quickly and secure the most ad- j vantageous (prices, special schedules : have been establisned and trains known as "Preference Freight" trains have been operated. These have rights over j all other .freight trains, and put the j produce in the markets in the best pos- j stole condition. That the campaign conducted by the railroad, together with the establish- 1 ment of fast freight service and ihe impiovement oi its facilities, has put the farmers in Southern New Jersey ' in toucn with the consumers of a very j wide area is indicated in the following distribution of the .July shipments from that section : Twelve hundred cars were sent to Jersey City and New . York; 628 to I Camden and Philadelphia; 418 to BosI ton,;258 to^ other points in„Ma«sachusettT; 257 to Newark; 268 to Pitts- j . burg ; other point |in Pensylvania 144 ; other New Jersey points 55; New York i 216; Ohio 80; Chicago . 17; Marylandl 2; Connecticut 150; Vermont 9; New Hampshire 57 ; Maine 27 ; Rhode Island 86; Toronto 19; Montreal 16, and Michigan's. The shipments in 1909 show an increase of 964 cars over 1908, and 1881 cars over 1907. * « « « THE FARMER Great prosperity is about coming upon us slong all lines of business, and much of it is due, in fact, three-fourths of it, to the man behind tbe plow. All wealth primarily comes out of tbe land, be it grain, iron, oil, timber or gold or silver. We could be short In most things and still be happy ; but any diminution in farm products brings ^distress, and low prices for the weatlb of the fields bring busneaa stagnation. $Wben the farmer can buy and pay, everybody can make and transport. Tbe wealth of the nation is in the tilled >| i

field, orchard, dairy and truck patch. So tbe farmer is king of men, for be holds the poweifof riches; be owns tbe land the and fatness thereof, i Things like that are often.statea, and yet 2they seem to have no permanent | lodgment in tbe average rural mind, ! or so many young men and women ' would not leave the richness of the ' | fields tor the hard lines of the city. We wish to call the ^attention of our j farmer friends to Jthe .following letter I written to the New York Sun by RichI ard H. Edmunds, editor of the manu- | facturers' Record, of Baltimore. It , | should encourage every tiller of the ' j soil. Here is the message : ' "In the whole history of American ! development, there is nothing more re- \ markable than tbe progress of our ' I agricultural interests during tbe last i few years. The prosperity of the 5 farmers has been tbe tbeme of many 1 ! an editorial, but there are probably but few people not directly in touch with the rituation who fully , comprehend ! the change that has taken place in tbe " financial condition of American ■ farmers Oonsumers'of fan.' products realize E the higher range of prices of late years 1 without quite ^appreciating iwhat this i means to tbe growers. As late as 1900 * the total value of our farm products 1 wal $4,717,000,000. and that was nearly double the value of 1890, whereas last year the value was $7,800,000,000. 'sTNr if present conditions do not materially 1 change for the worst, the aggrgegate 1 this year will probably bo about 3 $8. 300, 0,000. " "Compared with 1900, this is a gain ol $3,600,000,000, or nearly eighty per ' cent. This increase in nine years is fifty per cent, more than the total value in 1890. Between 1890 and 1909 . ! popuation gained about forty per cent., ( while iu the same period our farm pro- > | ducts more than trebled. 5 j From 1900 to 1909, the gain in popu- . ; lation was seventeen per cent , but in > athe same time farm products gained • in the amount received by tbe farmers r J nearly eighty per cent. " . I THE LINCOLN PENNY ■ From the viewpoint of the artist, i ! It is quite the proper thing ; i And speakin' for plain citizens, , | Tbey sort o' like its ring, r j There's no real strong objection . | To the letters V. D. B. - j Being stamped upon our penny, Along with Libeity. , With wreath upon the reverse side, [i On the obverse Lincoln's head. s Virtue, Devotion, Bravery. t These letters might be read. r I Still, Mr. Mint Director, ,• ! If these characters must go. [ Please leave thereon "United States;" 5 It helps a fellow so. What matters it the token ! These simple signs betray? 5 We get it. but to spend it 3 i The same old wicked way. C A. Brewton SAILING PARTY '> c . Despite the rough sea and strong i j wind a merry^party went out yesterday i for a sail in the Cresweil. A run was 1 made down tbe harbor and over the - bar, the engine being used instead of r sail 5 After spending some time on the i huge swells outside the party went to Wildwood/by tbe inland waterway' spending .'the afternon on the trip.
