DRIVING THE ? LESSON HOME j More dearly each day is big busi- _ ness coming to see that relief must be quickly given to the farmer if general trade is to be saved to the nation. Reports from five states show an unprecedented number of telephones discontinued by farmers because they can no longer afford the cost of the convenience. Still another reflex action is the heavy slump in the 'automobile market- To the unthinking it may be a far cry from the motor car to the tiller of the soil, but the fact is that farmers and dwel5 lers in small towns absorb the maf jority of automobiles manufactured in tins country'- Conditions on the - farms are now such that the old gray mare is bring dragged into service . and the "bhzz wagon" set aside for • future use, or sacrificed for ready cash. The price of gasoline is a factor now seriously considered by the farmer who in prosperous times is a r liberal and a healthy spender. And so run reports all down the line. The ■ | farmers, their wives, sons and daughters are exercising economy in clothi ing; the talking machine has been hard hit; indeed, stripping the far- ■ mer of his hard-earned dollar is fast creating a condition that is felt seri iously by hundreds of industries and now even in the halls of finance- Ir- ■ respective of geographical location, regardless of whether they are mer- ' chants,, manufacturers, or depend en the weekly pay envelope, it will not be long before the people recognize the fact that the so-called agriculturI al bloc is not an agricultural bloc at all — that it is an American bloc, the 1 first tangible evidence of the awakening of the American people to the ' necessity of guarding the parent of prosperity — the farmer. 6870 ACRES IN CULTIVATION

B Cranberry sauce, now as much of a g national institution as the turkey at g the Thanksgiving dinner, would be H missing from the menus of more than g half the homes of the United States, g in which it is a relish throughout the H season, but for the. cranberry bogs of B Nevfr Jersey. The fact that the Garden State easily ranks first in cranberry acreage and that the industry is growing, father than decreasing as indicated by a recent federal census, is shown by a repprij-just issued by the Bureau of Statistics of the State Department of Agriculture. New Jersey with a total of 12,098 acres in bogs, usually produces abolit one third of the total cranberry crop of the country, according to estimates completed by Harry B- Weiss, chief of the Bureau of Statistics. States next in importance in the industry _ are Massachusetts and WisconsinBurlington county; probably the largest cranberry -growing county in the world, by a coincidence, has 54 percent. of the New Jersey bog area, the same proportion b y which New Jersey leads the nation- In Burlington county there are 6870 acres of bogsj| under cultivation, while Ocean county , j is second, with 2381 and Atlantic | third with 1695. ^ The Weiss report contains figures | that show conclusively to the grow- i ers, the superior advantages of some I of the newer varieties of berries. I ~ The "Jersey" is an old variety, now j grown on . fifty per cent, of the bog I acreage in the State( yet last year it J . produced only 29.6 per cent- of the I crop. Three other commercial var- , j ieties, known as "Howe." "Earls' i j Black" and "Centennial,"' show great- = ly increased percentages of produc- m tion. The great output of cranberries in New Jersey, the estimate for the 7 marketed-crop last year being 157,000 barrels, has been -made possible only by years of scientific study of the requirements for success in this branch | bf agriculture- Frost, insects and, fungus are the chief enemies of the bog-owner, but a campaign of the co-operating growers in tHis State, aided by specialists from the U. SDepartment of Agriculture and the State Experiment Station, have found • remedies for a large portion of the - troubles. Methods of fertilizing the bogs also have added greatly to the . production per acreThe cranberry men) the report shows, have set the pace for other agriculturists in the State iiT modern marketing methods, by co-operative sales of their product in standard •, packages that have won a quality ^ | reputation wherever the graded Jer- = sey berries are sold. Ninety per j cent of the total cranberry production of the State is sold through the , Growers' Co-operative organizations.
