BOARD OF AGRICULTURE . i ' ■ ANNUAL SESSION OF THE CAPE MAY COUNTY BOAJtD HELD AT COURT HOUSE WAS THE BEST . IN ITS HISTORY. By E% & & The annual meeting of the Cape May County Board of Agriculture, the 6th and 7th of the inqntb, in Court House, held the best exhibit in its history, extending over almost a quarter century, and was the first meeting jn all of the time in which the sessions beld'over to the second dfy. f The exhibit was in fafct the mainspring of the meeting, as aside from the routine of business and a couple of addresses, the talking was mostly by the exhibitors as to how they did it. There wa* corn from Clinton Crease's "Boone County White" with which he act the pace in the county for corn growing at last year's meeting, and better than Shown last year because from acclimated seed, and the same variety as grown by Joseph D. Camp, the two getting equal first in the judgment of the onlookers. Both growers showed fruit, squashes and winter vegetables as did Richard Lloyd and Ralph Schellenger. Aa the exhibits did not, at. a rule tell to whom .they belonged one could only guess at the owners in what people brought in, and even this was not reliable aa like Ralph Taylor, these might have been dimply helphing unload somebody's trnckmobile. There was no mistaking Oswald Range's exhibit of chrysanthemums, roses and palms as no one else in the vicinity could have shown as many or as artistically. A eoud exhibit was credited to the County Farm. A new potato, the,' 'New Fortune ' ' shown by 1-emuel Compton, of Walnut Grove run, was the grand credit of the allow, and good enough to be disseminated a a the Cape May. The crop report was not made up at this meeting as is usual, m the northern aectiona of the County were not represented, and as the season has shown favors to several localities that would bring the average high, the report was left with the president and •rcretaiy -to .compile. Aaron W. Hand spoke upon the possibilities of Cant. 3Ja> County growers with their market at hand and with best prices at the season when Nature lends her best aids, and only the lack of knowledge .to prevent taking advantage of it, and, closing his remarks with the following resolution, which after being thoroughly discossed wps adopted without dissent : "Whereas. .The need of greater skill and training in agi-i<-ul ture is made necessary if proper advancement and development > nd results are to be attained in our County and development of . ifs agricultural interests continued, therefore he it "Resolved, That the members of this Cape May County Board . of Agriculture in its annual meeting assembled, November 6. 1914, .*> yiost hearty*' in'-! — »* stly endorse the action o' ti - County Itoard of hlers. sir the soll.'.^ition of onr honored President.
