IT MUST BE STOPPED The members 'of the Board of Freeholders may or may not. have been actuated by any sinister intent in the manipulation of the county's business during the past ten years or more, but the county must be awakened to the fact that the building of streets by the county in the cities and towns was never contemplated as one of the duties of the County Board of Freeholders. Whether the law .explicitly says so or not, this kind of work Js defined in other laws as the duty of the city or borough governing bojrty and when the county do/, -it is assuming a duty not devolving" unon it and which has the effect of saddling upon every township, city and borough in the .county the expense of maintaining the streets in every city or borough which happens to gain the favor of the board of free to the extent of securing rip propriations fob this purpose. The greatest outrage of this-Jcind committed against the county treasury has been the appropriation of huge sums of money for the filling of Turtle Cut Inlet and the building of a road upon Two Mile Beach, which is , totally unoccupied- This has meant merely the diversion Of the moneybelonging to the people of this en- . tire county to an investment for the .development of the lands of a couple of real estate syndicates, an investment out of which these syndicates will ultimately reap fabulous profits, but from which the taxpayers oi (his county will never get as much as a penny. This kind of play with the ] people's money is npt only wrong but , I it is sheer lunacy and jt must be pre- ; vented. Whatever loss has been in- 1 curred may be written off and for.-] : gotten but nothing more of this kind ; . should be tolerated • — . |

COLD STORAGE ! PLANT REVIVING ! CAPE Mil <i FISHERIES CO- WILL ; > ERECT BIG PLANT AND ' GREEN ROOM TO ACCOMMOr DATE INCREASING NUMBER \ OF FISHERMEN. X ' Cape May Fisheries and Cold- Storage Co. are going to erect a large dock to accommodate 50 boats, a ' large storage and green room with a ' complete ice making plant to supply - the needs of 'the vast fishing fleet 1 that is gathering in these waters. 5 The location will be at the Joseph | Wilson property at Schellenger's Landing which affords the best har-j e bor and docking .facilities along the " coast. This company was organized j ' prior to the late war but operation ] i had ceased on account of the government taking over the dock which has 1 been . released and returned to the 5 owner, Joseph Wilson. The company will offer a limited number of shares f of stock to the public. This venture " meets the approval of Cape May e business men and banking interests e £s it has a tendency of bringing considerable business to the City. s This- landing would also afford ex- ; cellent docking facilities! for the con1 templated ferry line tip Delaware. s Are you with this movement ?

of the vocational school contest held at county fairThe following gives somes interest, ing facts relative to some exhibits, which perhaps as to the exhibit did not indicate much to the casual observer, yet when the full story at growth or results obtained is known, the effect is worth whfl>. An exhibit fif Boone County Whit# "corn was made whjch has back of tt some very interesting facts. This, strain of seed 'corn was won by Russel Taylor m a Judging Cdn-. test held in Trenton, during early part of January, 1920. The sed was planted at the usoal time for seeding -corn, and received the same cultivation, and attention as given the other strains of corn grown by Taylor Brothers, durinjf the same year. At Tjusking -time thi3 variety ' of corn ouKyielded the one which was usually grown by 14 bushels per acre. This indicated that it was worthy of another trial this year. Tha ► question arises- What made the dif- ' ference? Answer: Seed Selection. The corn which Russel received was the result of fourteen years of seed selection and development in Monmouth Counfy. - v- 'j , As to this, year's "planting, the "Taylor Brothers used this strain of i Corn ih their entire acreage, and [ when the weatheP-amiditions are tak- , en into consideration the prospect of . a yield is good. Russell also sold sufficient seed to . plant -at lqast fifttf" acres. The plant.' | ers report they are well pleased with ' the yield outlook under weather con- , ditions- " " ' One field planted by Chas. Bohm, I June 3rd (late date) has grown very . well, making good stalk growth and has eared Well. This field was harnas eareu wen. i nis iieiu .was nur-

An exhibit of corn on the stalk," from a field of Lewis Hoffman's was worthy of attention, due to the fact ' that the field from which it was takI en, has grown corn fifteen out of Six- • teen consecutive years; secret, ""vetch , cover crop." ■ • An exhibit of corn was made from I a field of George Kellaris. to prove .the value of "vetch" as a cover crop. " • [ ' Last yezfr tWo acres > viekled about ; - sixty bushels of corn, this year at the . present outlook, the_ same" two acres 1 will yield at least seventy-five bushI elsf per acre. Why? A he^vy crop j ' of vetcji was plowed under to improve .- the soil, this yiar,, which resulted in ' ; producing a good -corn growth- . . . There were several other exhibits' . of corn on stalk, all of which have , 1 interesting stories buck of Jheir „ j growth.
