1 1 i VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS LV AGRII CULTURE In two counties in this Stat : county vocational schools ih a grin ture flourish, Atlantic and Cape Mi x j counties. In a number of othi I states there are numbers of the: B I schools and they are "supported at i ! developed with great vigor- It is [1 '^question of but a short time wht r 'several other counties in this SJp: _ will follow ,the lead of these two ei "j terprising ones, for the farming it terests in other counties are neglec n ing their own vital interest when the y do not "insist "upon this aid to th iiraost important occupation in th ~ j country. .. • r j In each of the counties named; th county 'superintendents impresse "J with the need and value of this ir | stitution, first made possible by th j Legislature in 1913, took the step . necessary to obtain the appointmer . of coipity boards of education and th ' establishment of courses in ngricu" ture and home economics, a fc I months after the passage of the. act j Sixteen other counties will -.ul ! timately provide themselves with sim ! ilar schools for they are vital! necessary1 to the county school sys • • tem in any agricultural county- Fat | mers get real aid and form boys rea and practical instruction from it am j the interest in agriculture- is stimu | lated in every conceivable way. Increased production, as a result of J the instruction -ind leadership of tfie . county vocational teachers in agriculp ture "undoubtedly amounts to several I j times the entire cost of the school. | The county public school slogan is . | "Without Labor .There is Nothing," , j and this is taken over and applied . in all county vocational* activities. . Aiiother. slogan is "Six( Months of I Supervised Practice." The best arid l' most profitable of meetings for .vo1 cationa! students, both'uien and boys, 'are held in the fields, and agricul- . tural teachings requite motf' lessons in the fields than anywhCTp else, if they are to fee effective. Six Months supervised practice means that they get it day -*fter day until the crop j is matured an^l harvestedi Gape May's pre-vocational activities are also, important. For eight years, we have been teaching agriculture- in our rural schools and offering incentives to its practice in the fields, in the shape of prizes, usually implements, farm books .-or fnfm periodicals, , to - those who make the best exhibits at tke County Fair, "" in the vocational school tents provided for the purpose- There is" an expenditure 'of about one hundred and fifty dollars per annum, 'or this purpose, aniMhe exhibits brought forward would cheer the .heart of the most confirmed pessimist on. the agricultural situation. They are cheering because they represent the interest of the bovs of "the .rural sections of the county and they, are. also cheering beqau.se of their wonderful quality. It may sui-pri.se some q( our friends in other sections of the State to know that when proper care is given to' their cultivation, no better fruits or vegetables can be raised anywhere than those produced in Cape May county. True, it is a seashore county, produces and ships to wide-spread markets, "large quantities of sand,; and Wis great playgrounds in the shape of its seaside resorts, all built upon the sands, excepting Cape May City, which is -on the mainjand and possessome bf the rj chest soil. The . agricultural areas are not sandy, however, as the term is sometimes applied, though .the soil is not the heavy loam visible in Monmouth, Middlesex -and perhaps ' Burlington , Aunties. It is of the consistency and ingredients, however, - that produces vegetables and /raits of superior quality and can be made to produce j even the grains successfully, if prop- ; erly stimulated-. • The vocational students ' are also admitted to this county fair exhibit | and prizes awarded to them also. : These students last year ♦on the I" Zimmerman cup for the. best display ; of Traits and vegetables, of air the ! State, at Trenton, during -fanners' j Week,' November 1920, and are loqkI ing '.'forward to repeating Aheir triumph this year. i Mary Miles Minter in "Her.Wih- ■ ning-AVay," at the Palace, Thursday, I December 1st- Benefit* of the Progressive League.

■ ' ~ Soil Testing By State Colleges

f Soil Testing Laboratory for Determining Lime Hunger of Soils. g Lime Spreader Distributing Amount of Lime Prescribed By Soil Test

THE Experiment Station of the Maryland University, at College l'ark. is now engaged In a vigorous campaign for study of the lime . s requirements of the soils of the farms j of thls'Stattf — a kind of farming that ' the farmers, themselves cannot do. i A flhmbor of the other State colleges of agriculture are giving this same service In the testing of sblls. f which enables the farmer to under1 and how much lime It takes to neutralize the harmful acids which affect so unfavorably the growth of , many- plants. These are mysteries on the -farm to whlqb the farmer has no key. AcS tuatly he Is working with elements r. about- which he knows but little. There arc three, essential plant foods. > the names of which are very familiar. • . but tyhlch he has nover seen, .hoard, smelled or felt. He knows that lime 1 Is an essential element for some soils ; and under some conditions, but here again he is confronted with the prob- ! _ tenia of discovering the needs of his : . It Is farming of this kind which I ihe farmer cannot do. Although he < realizes the Importance of accurate « knowledge on just such subjects as i

e these, and understands how to make e the 'application of such Information >- practical, be also realizes that for e .farming of this kind he must depend a on the expert services of the sclontlst -t who Is Just as much at homcwlth his beakers, retorts and chemicals as - the farmer Is with his plow. e Consequently it Is to tie scientist that the farmer turns for his knov l- - edge of soli fertility. He must un- '. dcrstand what acidity means and - mv.lt have knowledge of the proper - methods of counteracting it. He I must-realise that with an acid cofidltlon « the soil It Is . Impossible for ' him to sequre the complete benefits - from the use of commercial fertilizer / » or tqanure. If he discovers that lime/ - Is essential on his farm, he must be| 1 Informed of the proper quantity! • necessary so that no waste shall re- , . suit from over application pr none s of the beneficial results be lost h» i applying too. little. i Tho Soils Department of the Mary. ■ Institution Is encouraging every i farmer In the State to send samples of soil for analysis. This is' dons i free of charge and a report sent to i each farmer Indicating the amount of lime required on the fields rcprei sented by the samoles.
