' Clspe May, for their 1915 Calendar '■ THE GRANGE — At -the meeting of the National Orange j Patrons Of Husbandry, at Wilmington, a Oeorge W. F. Daunt, of Mulliea Hill, d N. J., State Master, in his report 1 11 said the Nbw Jersey -Grangers have progressed steadily during the" pa-t rear, all the subordinate granges arc in « " flourishing condition, and they have been safeguarded against inactivity. He " said: ' n We have unceasingly advocated praciical training for the youth of New Jer- 81 sev. We were instrumental in having a w law passed providing for vocational 81 training and note with pride that our n suggestion has been productive of the introduction of agriculture and home economics in the school curriculum. A * further evidence of the getting-togetlier 81 spirit between education authorities and 81 the grange is best demonstrated by I " conference held last winter between the State Board of Education and a commit- • tee composed of grange representatives — from each eountv. As a result of this meeting much of the dissatisfaction and j criticism of State authorities' methods ' heretofore existing was dissipated and suggestions and plans made at that time are gradually put into practice. We are steadily prging the necessity for the establishment of demonstration farms. The many perplexing soil and ' crop conditions that arise confront the farmer at- Ms busiest season, consequently he is deprived of the fall benefits obtainable at the State College by virtue of hia distance from the same and « lack of time to properly present hia case g, for their attention. The location of al county demoaatratioe farms would place him in close contact with the needed expert knowledge and in hun- ai dreds of iaat— am result la the saving if of crops and prevent the loss of dol- a n». r

r HOME AND SCHOOL ASSOCIATION The regular meeting of the Cape May City Home and School Association will be held in the Assembly room of the High School on Thursday evening, De- ; comber 17th, at 8 o'clock. The primary purpose of a Home and ; 1 School Association is for parental self- ; 1 education in home making and the car- j 1 of children. The model association Is a e school for parents, where they study 1 and discuss how to promote the welfare of their children and ask themselves e 1 what kind of mothers and fathers tin " arc. The program* during the coming - year will aim to cover the physical needs of the children, .the questions "of ? sanitation, the moral training in -the s home, and the educational system in I the schools. » Friendly interest and a spirit of belp- . j fulness can prevent many evils and safe- . guard ohildren who are deprived, for any I reason of parental care. It is the ounce I of prevention that is worth the pound i of cure. Toward that end, the program .of our next meeting has been arranged, r We have been forunate in securing, as t the lecturer of the evening, Dr. AlexJohnson, Director of Extension, ^.Training School, Yineland, N. J. He I will deliver a talk on the following sub- ■ ject, "The Mother State and Her Weaki est Children." | The meetings of the Association are . free to anyone who is interested in the i welfare of the children of this community. Every father and mother ought to ; it. The lecture "will be illustrated • and will prove very interesting and i helpful. May we not have the room crowded on Thursday night? E. R. BRCNYATE, Pres.

. Eiim wiw shut : THIS 16 COWS ,! TliRONE : FLEECY STAPLE MUBTFAY RANSOM INTO THE COFFERS OF WAR. v Nation Rings With Cries of Stricken Industry. By Peter Radford Lecturer National Fanners' Onion. K King CVtton has suffered more from j the European war than any other ag- '' rl cultural product on the American f oontlnent The shells of the belllgerents have bursted over his throne, frightening his subjects and shattern lng his markets, and, pankratrlcken, the nation cries out "God save the king!" People from every walk of life have contributed their mite toward rescue y work. Society hss danced before the king; milady has decreed that the family wardrobe shall contain only 11 cotton goods; the press has plead n wtth the public to "buy a bale"; I bankers have been formulating holding plans; congress and legislative * bodies have deliberated over relief measures: statesmen and writers have grown eloquent expounding the Inalienable rights of "His Majesty" p and presenting schemes for prase rv- ■ lng the financial Integrity of the stricken staple, but the sword Of Europe has proved mightier than the pen of America in fixing value upon this p product of the sunny south. Prices have been bayoneted, values riddled and markets decimated by the battling hosts of the eastern hemisphere until , the American farmer has suffered a j war loss of $400,000,000, and a bale of cotton brave enough to enter a 1 European port must pay a ransom of , half Its value or go to prison until the war Is over. Hope of the Future Lies In Co-opera-tion. The Farmers' Union, through the columns of the prees, wants to thank the American people for the friendship, sympathy and assistance given : the cotton farmers in the hour of dieI tress and to direct attention to cooperative methods necessary to per ■ manentlv assist the marketing of all farm products The present emergency presents as grave a situation as ever confronted the American farmer and from the viewpoint of »he producer, would Beem to Justlfv extraordinary relief measures, even to the point of bendine the constitution and straining business ' rules In order to lift a portion ot the 1 burden off the backs of the farmer, ( for unless something Is done to check ! the Invasion of the war forces upon the cotton fields, the pathway of the European pestilence on fhis continent will be strewn with mortgaged homes and famine and poverty will stalk over the southland, filling the highways of Industry with refugees and the bankruptcy -court with prisoners. All calamities teach us lessons and the present crisis serves to Illuminate the frailties of our marketing methods and the weakness of our credit system, and out of the financial anguish and travail of the cotton farmer will come a volume of discussion and a mass of suggestions and finally a solution of this, the biggest problem In the economic life of America, if. indeed, we have not already laid the foundation for at least temporary relief. More Pharaohs Needed In Agriculture. Farm products -have no credit and I perhaps can never here or. a rerma- i nent and .• -.tlsfactcn oasis unless we build warehouses, cold storage plants, elevators, etc., for without storage and credit facilities, the south Is compelled to dump Its crop on the market at harvest time. The Farmers' Onions in the cotton producing states have for the past ten years persistently advocated the construction of storage We have built during this period 2,060 warehouses" with a capacity of approximately 4,000.000 bales and lqpktng backward the results would seem encouraging, but looking forward, wp are able to house less one-third of the crop and warehouses without a credit system lose 90 per cent of their usefulness. The problem is a gigantic one— too great the farmer to solve unaided. He must have the assistance of the bankthe merchant and the government In production we have reached the high water mark of perfection In the wfirid's history, but our marketing methods are most primitive. In the dawn of history we find agriculture plowing with a forked stick but with s system of warehouses under governmental supervision that made the Egyptians the marvel of civilisation, for who has not admired the vision of Joseph and applauded the wisdom of Pharaoh for storing the surplus until demanded by the consumer, but in this sge we have too many Josephs who dream and not enough Pharaohs who build.
