T :: How Much Longer Will You Pay? 0 For four years in Pennsylvania, for two in New Jersey, the Full Crew Law has had the acid test of every-day experience. What has it accomplished? Five .and one-half million dollars have been wasted by the railroads, and in no single instance has the Full Crew Law, that compels this waste, contributed one jot to the safety of the traveling - public. In proportion to the great body of railroad employes, the number 1 of extra men forced on the railroads by the Full Crew bill is ttmall. But their pay is high, higher, in fact, than the wages really earned by most other classes of employes'. It costs the railroads $2566 in one year to pay the superfluous trainmen on one passenger train operating between New York and Pittsburgh. That's but a single item, taken at random from the tremendous bill which directly or indirectly each citizen has to pay. But the people are now determined to pay this needless bill no longer. If you have not yet voiced your personal demand that the waste of thisjBoney that should be spent for your .better and safer •ervice be stopped, a letter to your elected representative at Harrisburg and Trenton is your most effective method.

STONE HARBOR. The Spring meeting of the Cape May County Board of Agriculture was of unusual interest In that unusual ' problems are vexing our growers: (1) i How to get along without the potash for which we have allowed ourselves to become dependent upon Germany, and which la now denied us: (2). What 1 ca'n lie done with the immense crop of potatoes stored In the cellars and pits of the county: and (S). Shall we plant , potatoes this season. As the program gaye assurance of the presence of the newly appointed Farm Demonstrator, there was the feeling that possibly he would give advice that would help out. and all turned out for it. Joseph I>. Camp was chairman, and on his wgy home _from the Mosquito; Conference In Atlantic City and en. thused by all that had been told tli^iw. of the possibilities pt the soil of Cape May County If owners would w-ake Vtp and go digging for them, inspired the rest, making the sessions in their Infor* mallty and detailing of experiences among the he*r-|n the Board's history. Commenting upon the meeting In Trenton of the State Board of Agriculture which he had attended as delegate the Pomona Grange. Mr. Camp said he agreed with Preaiaent Freyllnuof the Board as to the need of States Bureau of Agriculture Instead of a Board, and, which hhs no Influwith the Legislature. "Farmers" Mr. Camp said, "get things but they come through some other Interest. Our cauae the resorts demanded Uiem. but the farmers are getting the benefit. So with the farm demonstration. We have because the resorts are to be benefittod in having our mainland under cultivation and our salt marsh In hay: In and in being free, in a measure at least. 1 mosquitoes. And. again, we ' get the benefit. Resorts and 1 exist profitably without Hie other. If i ore pestered with mosquitoes and i our land values are deteriorated and | our State Is a byword thereby. It Is i our own fault as we don't do what we t might to prevent It. The drpinag-e of 1 our marsh land Is of the utmost 1m- i portance. The State is appropriating i — oney for It and will continue to do i so If we show we want it by contribut- i Jng to the fund "for it. And It Is clear ,

•Bin to do It.* Whoever lias marsh land , Is lucky: I'm buying all I can get hold , of. Most of us have It as part of our ••nldin-s and don't realize Its value. I , •ad 05 acres without ditching and ( ••rowing cattails because not drained. , Ijist year I ditched It through the , of It. and the crops of years to come will be clear gain. My neighbors think their land but don't want to spend the A hay dealer, one of the big- ' gest In the country, offers $9 per ton 1 for marsh hay free of cattails, that is. 1 such as grows on drained marsh land. 1 and the only cost In growing the crop ' Is In the cutting, curing and baling. 1 Upland hay is mighty scarce. One who 1 says, hut for this hoof and ' mouth disease lessening the number of c feeders the greater part of the live f stock of the land would he starving. e Some of us have learned by experience some things the farm demonstrawill tell the others. Now T had 1 a field that would grow only nubbins * and none too many of those. J put on fertilizer and liydrated lime at a cost of -$85. and harvested 500 bushels of well £ ears. The land Is $85 better for next year's crop, and even more than " that. In being covered with a good growth of crimson clover for turning under. The neighbors say It Is good and would do the same, but <- It takes money. These gains won't ^ of themselves: we've got to go them. In farming jroii put up your tl

money and effort, and Nature matches It In profit, dollar for dollar, every time • with something over to show appre•e George B. Tlirasheh the farm demons strator, was at both sessions: not as 11 lecturer but to meet the farmers and • to answer questions. Scarcity of poll tash t-ame first. Mr. Tbrasher asked In s what forn^ and In what quantities It had been used in previous years, and t finding this out. said there was no f great need for worry aa_they had been s applying more than had been taken t up by the roots and there was. undoubtn edly enough remaining In the soli for e the present season's needs, and which '. by the use of lime or even the common e agricultural salt would be made avall- :. able. He explained the nature of the different sorts of lime, and the cost of 1 each was told by the farmers. M r. Camp a! being able to buy to better advantage «• ed against caustic lime as It would de-. t> atroy any humus there might be In the i soil. Lime and salt should each be ; » broadcasted and dlscced in on llghi l) » soil and plowed In lightly on heavy . « soil. Wood ashes, he said, contained 1 , at all. having only mechanical value. ' . as of lfkhtenlng heavy soli or as cover , to prevent exaporatlon. Crab grass and 1 , weeds may be safely turned under for ] . mulch, there being no reason for fear- , r Ing a crop from the seeds. These like I sll cover crops are best turned under when green, because of the moisture I • they will hold, but the harrow should • Immediately follow to prevent evopors- ■ tion. Flowing should l>e as early as ( possible In the spring, and If the cover I crop Is not as tall as one would like , when u is time to plow, why. plow any- . - way. Haruyan. manure should he ' spread nt.once or lie eonsorveu with 1 . land plaster. It makes no difference whether fertilizer Is put In the hill or . broadcasted so it is put where the roots can get at It. The practice of putting c a little fetyilizer In Hie furrow for potais good. c _ The consensus upon the great potnto crop oft the county, was. that while the prices •kill lie lower than If there <1 nd ^ the stored tubers are keepin-.-

This market will want new potatoes through all the season so of eoui-se the wise will plant Some valuable experiences were given growers of tumnloes and asparagus, one having doubled the county avermethods. The business »r the Spring meeting ! - to reeei.e he reports of the dele- 1 rtes from ti e Hoard to the State So- I '"tics, but only Ralph Taylor of Cape May. going to the State Horticultural meeting, showed on appreciation of the duty entailed In accepting the appointment, his being the only detailed report.
