□ MERCER FARMERS TO USE NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING Newspaper advertising will have an im porta n place in the marketning methods of Mercer County farmers this year, two large organizations of growers having adopted the recommendations of the State Bureau of Markets in this respect on a scale that will be certain to attract public attention and ci«ate buying: interest. The farmers will advertise, both individually and cooperatively, and their publicity will boost sales direct and through dealers. The Mercer County Vegetable Grow ers' Association will begin an -advertising campaign, chiefly through Trenton daily newspapers, as soon as spring vegetables ate ready for market. Their advertisements will be < built on lines that will let the public know which vegetables are in market at the time and fair prices for . the same, and will tell of the advantages of using stuff fresh from the faj-m i gardens. The publicity will benefit __ the growers whether they sell their "8 products to stores, commission men, Sal direct from the farm to consumers, or — through farmers' markets. , Fruit growers, through the MeVcer County Board of Agriculture, have arranged a somewhat similar campaign to promote the sales of fruit on the farm. Their original program . hp, been curtailed, however, because of the disastrous March freeze that .killed ipuch of the fruit while in the blossoming stage, but a start will be made as conditions warrant. The' (Itch a rd men plan to run their individual advertisements collectively on the same newspaper pages. For several weeks Chief A. L. 1 Clark of the State Bureau cf Markets has been bringing to the attention of truck and fruit; farmers throughout , the state the advantages of news- , paper advertising as a part of their I crop selling plan and there are iridi- , cations in other parts of the state as i well as in Mercer County that -the , great agricultural interests of New , Jersey will begin next summer to , take a place in the advertising world ' commensurate with their business importance. • — . t - 1 CAPE MAY COURT.

The improvement , • of . vacant lands "should lie done by the owners and not by either county . • . or city. The statement that county i ; or city is interested in such improve- , I ment because it may-hasten a devel- * . opihent which will add to the tax re- - ' . »; ceipts is more, than offset by the pro- ' ! i position "that the money of taxpayers should not be invested in. a real es- "*"• tate or any- other proposition with; ' ■ out their conseitt, particularly when i all of their profits will go to the promoters as it dots in everv:rea1 estate development scheme.
