EXHIBIT AT GRANGE PICNIC j COUNTY VOCATIONAL SCHOOL ' GIVES SPLENDID DEMONSTRATION OF ITS ACCOMPLISH? MENTS , The Vocational School Exhibit at 1 the Grange Picnic was one of the ( beet that has been made. It was an honor to students and teachers, giving testimony of what may be accomplish- ] ed in Cape May County. , *The exhibit was produce from student's projects and consisted of j about 100 plates made up of potatoes, ( tomgtoes, beans, corn, beats, cabbage, j onions, plums, apples, peaches, ber- f riea, and soil improvement crops. The schools are putting fonth spec- ( ial efforts along three lines of agricultural development, namely: Soil i improvement, increased potato pro- , duction per acre and fuit spraying. | Exhibits showed plainly the effect each introducing in the county. ] In order to prove this, we will touch j lightly <ra how each is being conduct- , ed, giving proof of statements. Soil improvement is being made effective thru green manure crops, the J following are being used: vetch, sweet ] clover, alfalfa and Canada field peas and oats. Potatoes were exhibited ( from a field where vetch had been the source for soil building. This -is t very effective, as from two thirds of • an acre thus, treated, $575 worth of ( potatoes were sold this year. Corn j was exhibited grown by Russel , Taylor, measuring 12 feet in height, , grown on vetch improved soil. Other ( such statements could be made. j In potato produrtion, two lines are ( being followed, variety test and sec- j ond-crop seed. There were eight, yar- J ieties of potatoes exhibited, the lead- ( ing ones being; Cobblers, Spaulding , Rose and Giants. The Wilson Giants, which are being tried this year, are , yielding well. As to seed source, we , find home grown second croppers and , Virgina second cropper.- are out- 1 j yielding by far Eastern Grown Sec-! j , The following will suffice to prove ( what may be done in "Home Seed" j production. J. W. Reeves of Cape May, planted some cobblers last year ( on Labor Day. The potatoes had only , a short period for growth due to the ( late planting and did not get very | large. Nevertheless he saved the potatoes grown for seed and planted , them this year. He is now digging , from this seed as fine potatoes and ; j getting as good a yield as any one could desire. It would be worth whiie j ■ to call on Mr. Reeves and view these I potatoes. Cape May County should • | produce its own seed ami to some j , extent is doing so. As to fruit spraying, the exhibit"/ testified to its value. Fix': exhibited, , proved that Cape May County can , produce as fine fruit as that grown anywhere in the United States. The | beauty and flavor of the fruit ex- j , hibited gave proof of this. Those , who failed to see this one phase of . the exhibit missed a great deal. , There were exhibits of fruit of eight j varieties of apples, two of peaches, j , two of plums, one of raspberries and | , two of pears. One exhibit of sprayed i ( -apples over non-sprayed of the same | variety, gave proof of the value of ! ( s praying. Apples were exhibited, re- 1 1 cjiving from one up to six sprays. | Just a word to orchard is t6. One , spraying is not sufficient. It is of no more use to try to grow good | fruit by one spraying than :i would be to grow a crop of potatoes by one J ' culiv^tion. Spray, -pray spray and then spray more. For further information as to the | exhibit, consult those who attended 1 the Picnic. -j ( "^Vocational School InstructorsR. E. Reeves and S. E.
