HOW TO BEAUTIFY s tjuClMY CO.: CORRESPONDENT SETS FORTH oj SOME PERTINENT REASONS „ WHY THE COUNTY SHOULD RE A GARDEN SPOT, AND HOW & TO ACCOMPLISH IT- MANY b. SMALL THINGS, NO GREAT W THING, NEEDED j, --r- D The County Beautiful" m It would mean ee much tor the hi county and 90 little from each one hi of us; it wouM not onljt bee pleating 1« sight to the tourist that comes to our si county, to our neighbors end to our- cl selves, bat it would be a real asset tl everyone. The fiarm with the post ii and rail fence along its fields in good n repair, with the grass, weeds and kept out, will sell for more the one with dilapidated fences, o overgrown with weeds and briars- a Houses and barns that are painted or T whitewashed and up to date, not ' only please the eye and attract atten- © tion, but will sell quicker and for a » price than the ones that are b to pieces, with window panes a roofs leaking and -no paint- s "The County Beautiful" means to ev- v resident of the county not only ' something pleasing to the senses but I real dollars to everyone of us. r Cape May county could indeed be a ^ "County Beautiful" — one that would t be known and talked of all over the United States, for do not our resorts 5 draw people here from every state in c the Union ? As it is, one often hears ' one say — "Why is it that the 1 people of Cape "May county with its ! miles and miles of fine roads to drive ' do not take more pride in fix- 1 1 ing up their properties along the 1 |same? Why don't they? Largely ' because they have not thought of it, j | nor had anyone suggested the idea : to them. Nearly every one enjoys 1 I the beautiful things in Kfe; neariy 1 everyone is cleanly and orderly by 1 . nature, but there are many who have eyes that do not see" and brains that do not suggest And yet most of them would gladly do what is suggested to them, either by word or ampleWhat Do We Need? Now -what do we need to do to ' make our court y "The County Beauti- > ful"? Many small things, no really i big thing. Songs are sung and verses >• written about the cherry blossoms of I Japan, and yet those same blossoms t are wealth producers for the people [ of that country, for they become P cherries. Why not then for one thing. ? clean out the brush and branches ii b front of your farms, rebuild and re 5 pair your fences and plant apple o j pear trees in a neatly kept strip o L grass sod. By doing this you wil [ have gone a long way tov-ard th r "County Beautiful," and at i!Se sam ? time will, when tall comes, derive 5 nice profit from those same tree; b Of course there are many who doubi J who would prefer shade trees eve S though they produce nothing; i l which case there are "maple, tulij [ poplar, buttonwood and many othe [ varieties, all beautiful as shade tree; Now step inside the gate and loo f at the front yard At present w f

S find a few- that delight the eye, ann i v we say, "Oh! is not that pretty? c Just see those flowers, the shrubs and j £ I wonderfully trimmed trees." But in C so many there is not a 'thing that ap- £ I peals to any one- Let every one get b busy and vie with their neighbors to p | see which front yard is going to atV j tract the most attention In the fu- £ ture; study your yards and see just c what you can do to bring about the I £ j best results and above all things to I * I show originality, so that there will y ! not be any two alike- To do this, all £ one needs to use is what nature has \ y so bountifully given us, closely cut V lawns, flowers, shrubs and ornamental C | trees, roses, vines, etc., the varieties J j are legion- Friends, can you see a f | vision and realize what this would y mean even to ourselves, as we drive * along our roads, let alone the strangf er within our gates, in place of what g we see today? •£ Repair the Buildings f Now about the houses, barns and ? outbuildings- Put them in repair and J paint them What an improvement; J what^a long step toward the "County ■v Beautiful," and yet really Kke the1 A others, a good A-l investment for you £ to protect what you have already paid f good money for- You increase the f life and usefulness of that house, y barn or corn-crib, and you please the 3 senses of every one, even, yourself. > Another thing I want to mention is A the unsightly fence bogs and brush A hedges that Gape May county farms f have, one hardly sees them else- ? where. I know that a few are useful y and needed as windbreaks, but many 5 are not an-1 should he dug out. Your > fields would be larger and so much A i better and you yourselves know they [would produce more. Where the few 7

Officials Mod Help Our Township Oonntitteeg, Cfty Ofcsals and County Freeholders can do great deal to help in this work can ecrape and repair the roads when they need it and not when it is convenient for some one; they een the grass and weeds and cut brush along the tide of the roads when it is growing and before it seeds, when our tourists eye her end U6e the roads, instead of in the winter when our guests have goneIt is the practical thing to do and will not cost as' much and will help wonderfully to make The County Beautiful." There are also a few public and semi-public places that much oouW be done with, at very Httie cost. For instance, that unsightly frog pond at the county farm. A drive on each side, a walk around it, a summer a few benches, trees, shrubs and flowers, and you have a pretty, , restful place, a real picture end the cost almost nothing. These are but a few thought and [ suggestions, almost every person in . Cape May county could give as many, , and if carried out, what a beauty , spot old Cape May county would be. , Let each and every one of us put our t dhoulder to the wheel and give it a f push. If there are any of us who have not enough faith and ambition . to do that, do not knock the idea, for it is sure to come- Good old Cape Cay county is going to be "The County Beautiful," and known as euch over ' our great country, if not beyond its borders, and the sooner the betterA COUNTY RESIDENT. e Crops Recorded ' On Olive Branch-

While the progressive American ! farmer is using a double-entry ; system for keeping his production i records, the Spanish green olive grower keeps his books on a split olive branch — a method which prob- , ably was" old before paper was invented.* For generations a notched stick has been his only record in these groves near Seville, the only place where soil and climate com- ! bine to produce green olives of > suitable size, texture and flavoring i for marketing. , The stick is simple to use. For s example, ten bushels of olives are ^ ! purchased. The buyer cuts an "X" . j on an olive branch and hands it to the grower. Later, two additional ° bushels \gjre bought, and the buyer 1 notcnes two straight lines below tue 1 "X." At night when the stick is i covered with notches, it is split lengthwise, grower and buyer each ^ retaining half. When disputes arise, settlement is reached by fitting the pieces together. A notch appearing on one-half and not on 1 the other is clearly a "false entry."
