this Fall on account of so much rain in 
September, (’ows are selling from $100 
to $12,5. Lots of pigs are being raised. 
3'he early corn Avas a gootl crop. Help is 
scarce. Farmers are selling their farms

From .Tuly 1 to the present this sec¬ 
tion of New .Jersey has had very little 
rain. The staple crop in this county is 
corn, which is Avay below the average. 
There is still some old corn left. Mills 
are offering $1.70. but very little offererl. 
Potatoes also are a failure; very few 
farmers have enough for home use ; stores 
are offering $2 per bu. Wheat, oats and 
hay were a fine crop, oats especially 
Iicavy. Mills are giving 75c, and wheat 
bringing .$2.15 to ,$2.20 if one can sell it. 
.Most producers have the whole crop in 
their bins and cannot dispose of it in the 
usual channels; heretofore the mills 
wanted and would take all offered; this 
sea.son they Avill accept very little at a 
time and then set date of delivery from 
throe to four weeks ahead. Hay is bring¬ 
ing ,$.30 at the press. Milk at the Stock- 
ton receiving station, $4.00 for 4 per cent 
test. Eggs, 70c at the door. Heavy foAvls, 
34c; ,3_ to 4 lb. roosters, .34c. T'his 
county is quite a poultry center, but there 
was only about 50 per cent raised this 
year. The embargo on Avheat last Spring 
is responsible for this condition. A large 
acreage of wheat and rye was planted 
this Fall and is looking good. As a whole 
it has been a prosperous .season and the 
prc'sent outlook is good, with smiles on 
the faces of all. n. b, h.

EVENTS OF THE WEEK 
LOilESTTC.—The trial of Harry E.. 
I.azarus, a New Y’ork raincoat manufac¬ 
turer. which began Nov. 14 in the Federal 
District Court before .Tudge Augustus N. 
Hand and a jury, is the first of its kind 
in this district where the defendant has 
been charged with violation of the sabot¬ 
age law. Lazarus was indicted under 
that act, and also is charged with having 
paid bribes to Charles L. Fuller, chief in¬ 
spector of the Quartermaster’s Depart¬ 
ment. 
The recent epidemic of influenza in the 
United States caused more deaths than 
occurred among the American expedition¬ 
ary forces from all causes from the time 
the first unit landed in France until hos¬ 
tilities ceased. This announcement by the 
Census Buri'au was based on unofficial 
estimates of the total casualties among 
the overseas forces and reports from 4G 
cities having a combined population of 
2.3.090.000, wliich showed 82,.300 deaths 
fmm influenza and pneumonia from Sep¬ 
tember 9 to November 9. 
T?(>mb''rs attempted to wreck the offices 
of the Y'oiingstown, Ohio, Telegram Nov. 
17. A bomb planted just outside the 
jiressroom exploded, breaking windows, 
smashing doors and otherwise damaging 
the building. ’Fhe Telegram has been 
strongly pro-Ally and is one of Ohio’s 
foremost dry advoca'es. 
Clmrlos F. Banning, supposed Ameri¬ 
can citizen, wealthy clubman and alleged 
Oerman agent, was taken from Pittsburg, 
Pa., Nov. 17, to Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, 
for internment. Tie was arrestedcon an 
order from President Wilson by United 
States Marsjial Herrington while he was 
consulting' with his attorney about his 
defence of the charge of violating the 
espionage act for which he was arrested 
six weeks ago. Federal officers maintain 
that Banning, though naturalized, revoked 
his American citizenship when he re¬ 
turned to Berlin to live in 1903. Banning 
is reputed to be several times a million¬ 
aire, who expected to return to Germany 
to live after the war. and for this reason, 
it is said, he desired Germany to win, 
and so expressed him.self at various times 
in the presence of fellow club members. 
A stenographic report of a speech made 
by Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes at a Socialist 
mo''’ting in New York City, Nov. 17, wms 
mailed to the United States Attorney in 
iN.msas City by United States Attorney 
Uaffey. Mrs. Stokes returned to this city 
from Kansas Citv in .Tune, after being 
released in $10,000 bail pending an appeal 
from a sentence of ten years’ impri.son- 
ment for violation of the espionage law. 
INTrs. Stokes has been under the eyes of 
agents of the Department of .Tustice since 
her release. Her speeches are said to 
have been filled with attacks on the Gov¬ 
ernment similar to those that led to her 
conviction in ICansas City. 
A flood wave passing up the St. Law¬ 
rence River Nov. 18 wrought immense 
November 30, 1913. 
destruction to river villages between Que¬ 
bec aud Three Rivers, estimated at about 
$ 1 , 000 , 000 . 
.Tosepli P’’. Smith, president of the Mor¬ 
mon Church, or Church of the I>atter Day 
Saints, died in his home at Salt I.,ake 
City, Utah, Nov. 19, after a long illness, 
at the age of SO. Death was due to 
paralysis, following an attack of apoplexy 
last April. He is said to leave .30 sons 
and daughters out of an original group 
of 43, his plural marriages and other re¬ 
ligious activities having caused many legal 
complications. 
WASHINGTON.—Brief consideration 
was given by the Senate Nov. 18 to a bill 
by Senator Myers, Montana, authorizing 
the Secretary of the Interior to make a 
survey of unentered public lands with a 
view to providing a place for discharged 
soldiers. 
It was announced for the Government 
Nov. 18 that men who fled to Mexico to 
avoid the draft will be in trouble if they 
should risk returning to the United States 
with the ide.a that violations of the law 
wdll be forgotten after the war. It was 
said that the selective service law, unlike 
the espionage act, will not run out with 
the signing of the peace treaties and that 
men wdio left the country to evade mili¬ 
tary service wdll be arrested if found in 
this country. Ix>cal draft boards have 
been asked to provide the United State.s 
Attorne.v w’ith a complete list of conscien¬ 
tious objectors who refused to do service 
and whose cases have not been disposed 
of. 
Evidence designed to prove that brewers 
assisted William A. Sheehan and Chaides 
H. Allen to finance the purchase of the 
Montgomery', Ala., Advertiser was offered 
Nov. ]9 at the opening of the Senate 
judiciary sub-committee’s investigation of 
brewers’ activities. The inquiry was or¬ 
dered by the Senate after disclosures had 
been made that brewery interests had 
loaned Arthur Brisbane $375,000 for the 
piircha.se of the 'Washington Times. 
Government agents see evidences that 
(lerman propaganda machinery in the 
United States is being put in working 
order again to promote sentiments of 
leniene.v toward Germany in peace terms. 
Consequently Department of .Tustice offi¬ 
cials issued a warning Nov. 18 that the 
public should remain watchful against re¬ 
sumption of organized propaganda by in¬ 
terests formerly actively pro-Germa.n and 
for the past year passive. Concerted 
movement is apparent, officials say, in 
utterances of many individuals, a few or¬ 
ganizations formerly active for German 
interests and .some newspapers. Official 
reports show German representatives in 
various parts of the world still actively 
engaged in spreading propaganda to create 
and enhance a feeling of hostility toward 
the United States and the Allied countries. 
Final legislative action was taken Nov. 
18 by the Senate on the national “war¬ 
time” prohibition bill, effective July 1 
next, and continuing during demobiliza¬ 
tion. As transmitted to President Wil¬ 
son, the prohibition feature would stop 
sales of distilled, malt or vinous beverages 
June 30, 1910, and thereafter during the 
war and demobilization. Manufacture of 
distilled spirits now is prohibited under 
the food control law, which will expire 
with the world peace treaty. Regarding 
malt and vinous beverages, the new mea¬ 
sure provides that their manufacture shall 
cease Ifay 1, 1919, and their sale for 
beverage purposes July 1. Manufacture 
for export is not prohibited, but imports 
of all intoxicating beverages during the 
war and demobilization are barred. The 
prohibition bill is in the form of a legis¬ 
lative rider on an emergency appropria¬ 
tion mea.sure providing about $lL.O00,0O0 
for stimulating agricultural pro<luetion. 
FARM AND GARDEN.—The Virginia 
State Horticultural Society will hold its 
twenty-third annual meeting and fruit 
exhibit at Lynchbui’g, December 3-4-5. be¬ 
ginning with an evening session on Dec. 
3. The Virginia Corn Growers’ Associa¬ 
tion will hold its annual meeting and corn 
show in connection with tlie Horticultural 
Society at the same time and place. 
The Omaha Inter-States I.and Show 
will be held in the Omaha Civic Auditor¬ 
ium, Omaha, Neb., Feb. 12-22, 1919. It 
is to be given largely for the purpose of 
assisting the United States Government, 
the various States included in the plan 
and other land development organizations, 
including commercial clubs, to furnish cor¬ 
rect information for the returning soldiers 
to try to organize conventions and con¬ 
gresses to promote occupancy of Middle 
West farming lands. 
The thirteenth annual meeting of the 
New England Ayrshire Club will be held 
at the Quiucy House, Boston, Mass, on 
Tuesday, Dec. 3, at 11 A. M.; P. M. 
Handy, secretary. 
The beau growers of Western New 
York ave now preparing to oi’ganize a co¬ 
operative association for marketing the 
beau crop of the State. A number of 
representative men recently got together 
in Rochester to talk the matter over and 
prepared a plan of action. They recom¬ 
mend forming local units of growers, 
Avhich later can be federated into re¬ 
gional organizations. These can, if neces¬ 
sary, be brought together in a State asso¬ 
ciation. The New York State Beau 
Growers will take hold of the matter, 
and a special committee will be appointed 
to arrange definite plans. There is no 
question about the wisdom of this cour.se. 
(Organization is the watchword for farm¬ 
ers at this time, and New York producers 
should get together promptly and prepare 
to work co-operatively.
