Jersey Farm Legislation 
Penn State Campaign Passes Million Mark 
A MONG^ the important bills intro¬ 
duced in the last two weeks in the 
New Jersey Legislature, and now in the 
hands of the Senate Committee on 
Agriculture, is Senate bill No. 64, 
which would encourage the more effi¬ 
cient distribution of agricultural prod¬ 
ucts in the State. Its purpose is simi¬ 
lar to Article 13 of the Agricultural 
Law of New York State and is to pro¬ 
vide for the incorporation of farm as¬ 
sociations not conducted for profit. 
Another measure also relating to agri¬ 
cultural associations would prevent the 
circulation of untrue statements on the 
financial condition of cooperative as¬ 
sociations and the breaking of market¬ 
ing contracts or agreements made be¬ 
tween such associations and a member. 
As in many sections of the East, 
deer have become decidedly trouble¬ 
some in some parts of New Jersey and 
in an effort to assist farmers who are 
suffering damage, the New Jersey Fed¬ 
eration of County Boards of Agricul¬ 
ture has fostered a bill now in the 
Senate to change the hunting season 
for killing deer. The proposed meas¬ 
ure would change the open season from 
four separate Wednesdays to consecu¬ 
tive days from December 16 to Decem¬ 
ber 22, and permits the killing of does 
more than one year old in Ocean and 
Atlantic Counties where the excess of 
deer are a detriment to farm interests. 
Bills Already Introduced 
Bills of interest to farmers already 
introduced in the Assembly include a 
measure to require the registration of 
owners for all motor vehicles using the 
public highways and the giving of a 
bond approved by the Commissioner of 
Motor Vehicles to an amount of $5,000. 
Another bill aims to extend the licens¬ 
ing plan on dogs as in the new law of 
last year, which is in principle the so- 
called sheep law recently put on the 
statute books of most of the Eastern 
States. It gives the right to municipal¬ 
ities to repeal their ordinance pro¬ 
visions on the licensing of dogs and ac¬ 
cept the new State law with its more 
stringent requirements. 
The Committee on Taxation in the 
Assembly now has before it Assembly 
Bill No. 27, which makes it unlawful 
for any county or municipality to ex¬ 
ceed the tax rate of last year for the 
coming year. The taxation problem 
has become more acute each year and 
the agricultural interests of the State 
are uniting with others to limit the ex¬ 
tent to which taxes may be forced. The 
bill also provides for a definite reduc¬ 
tion in the taxes on real and personal 
property commencing with 1924 and 
running until such time as the tax rate 
is reduced to $2 on each $100 valuation, 
the sliding scale being five points each 
year. 
Notes from the Organizations 
At the annual meeting of the New 
Jersey Alfalfa Association, recently held 
in Trenton, N. J., the following officers 
were elected: President, George N. 
Rexon of Haddonfield, N. J.; Vice Pres¬ 
idents, D. D. Walker and H. R. Cox 
of New Brunswick, N, J.; and Treas¬ 
urer, Dr. Frank App of Trenton. It 
was reported that more than 15,000 
acres .of alfalfa were grown in New 
Jersey last year, while an even greater 
acreage is promised for the coming 
season. 
Indications point to a big “crop” of 
baby chicks from the large hatcheries 
of Hunterdon County, N. J., while de¬ 
mand for chicks from flocks of known 
parentage likewise promises to be 
large. Officers of the New Jersey State 
Poultry Association for the coming 
year are : President, B. S. Ellis of Vine- 
land; Vice President, J, I. Lyle of 
Plainfield; Secretary, William E. Allen 
of New Brunswick, and Treasurer, 
Harry Ober of Lakewood. 
NEW JERSEY BEEKEEPERS 
The recent Annual Convention of the 
New Jersey Beekeepers’ Association 
was an exceedingly ' interesting one. 
The attendance was smaller than at 
some previous conventions, but the in¬ 
terest, I believe was much greater. 
Discussion of hive sizes seemed fairly 
to indicate that those beekeepers that 
have tried the larger size hive, have 
been disappointed and that they felt 
at this time that the standard 10 frame 
Langstroth hive is still the best hive 
to use. The food discussion seemed to 
show that for New Jersey conditions, 
bees should be fed approximately 10 
pounds of sugar syrup in the fall after 
brood-rearing had ceased and that they 
should also be insulated with some sort 
of packing material. The food which 
the majority of bees in the State'have 
in winter is of such a nature that there 
is considerable accumulation of feces 
and in those winters when the bees do 
not have frequent opportunity for fly¬ 
ing, there is a considerajale loss from 
dysentery. It would seem, therefore, 
that both insulation and sugar syrup 
feeding for a greater part of New 
Jersey at least are necessary for best 
results.—E. G. Carr. 
PENN STATE CAMPAIGN PASSES 
MILLION MARK 
The Pennsylvania State College 
emergency building fund campaign is 
now well started on it's second “lap” in 
the drive for the goal of $2,000,000. 
The half-way mark of one million was 
reached a few days ago when a check 
for $21,349 was turned over by the 
alumni athletic advisory committee of 
the college, representing the net pro¬ 
ceeds of the Tournament of Roses foot¬ 
ball game played by the Penn State 
team in California on New Year’s day. 
This gift, which is the largest single 
subscription recorded .in the first mil¬ 
lion dollars in pledges, will be used in 
furnishing the new Varsity Hall or 
athletic training quarters building to 
be erected through the emergency 
building fund. It is expected that 
work on the construction of this build¬ 
ing will start during the present year. 
The campaign is progressing slowly 
but surely, over one-third of the grad¬ 
uates having already subscribed.
