More Farm Bills Sponsored 
in New Jersey 
S INCE the New Jersey Legislature 
opened in mid-January, the New 
Jersey Federation of County Boards of 
Agriculture, representing the organized 
farm interests in the State, has had in¬ 
troduced nearly a dozen bills relating to 
farming. Last week a new measure in¬ 
troduced in the Senate would make the 
use of names, pictures or reference to 
dairy animals as fraudulent if used in 
connection with the advertising of 
dairy substitutes. This is similar to a 
statute now on the laws of Pennsyl¬ 
vania, with the exception that the New 
Jersey bill would also make the use of 
photographs of dairy cows fraudulent 
advertising. _ ^ , 
Another measure of particular in¬ 
terest to the potato men of Central and 
Southern New Jersey would appropri¬ 
ate $10,000 to the Division of Agricul¬ 
tural Economics at the State Experi¬ 
ment Station for investigation of the 
economics surrounding the production 
and marketing of fruits and vegetables. 
It is hoped by this means to secure 
funds that the State may obtain in¬ 
formation badly needed by the potato 
men. 
The Fish and Game law would be 
changed by another bill so as to give 
greater freedom to hounds owned by 
farmers and on the premises of their 
keepers. As the law now stands, no 
hound is allowed at large except dur¬ 
ing the open season for killing quail, 
rabbits, etc. and the owner is liable in 
such instance to a fine of $20 for each 
offense. The proposed measure would 
repeal this feature, considered objec¬ 
tionable by many farmers. 
Investigating Farmers’ Markets 
Growers now using the Farmers’ 
Market at Burlington, N. J., are con¬ 
sidering the improvement of local 
marketing conditions, according to 
Clai'ke W. Clemmer, County Agent in 
Burlington County, who has recently 
conducted an investigation of the Bur¬ 
lington Farmers’ Market. Mr. Clem¬ 
mer finds that practically all of the 
farmers are dissatisfied with the 
Farmers’ Mai'ket in Burlington; that 
they favor the allotment of definite 
place to regular farmer patrons; and 
that they approve the establishment of 
a modern market place with a reason¬ 
able mai’keting fee. It is felt that such 
regulations could be carried out to bet¬ 
ter advantage than in the present con¬ 
gested street market wher^ 20 to 30 
farmers now conduct their ’business. 
Practically all of the farmers were 
also in favor of definite opening and 
closing hours so that all farmers would 
have equal opportunity, and so that 
competition would be eliminated so far 
as preference of place in the market 
is concerned. Mr. Clemmer’s census of 
marketing hours showed a wide diffei'- 
ence of opinion, although the majority 
were agreed that Monday, Wednesday, 
and Friday should be the market days. 
Opinion was fairly well divided among 
the patrons of the market on the ques¬ 
tion of operating the market every day 
during the heigM of the season. 
Affairs at the State College 
The New Jersey State College of 
Agriculture at New Brunswick, N. J., 
will conduct a one-week course in the 
practical operation of tractors and gas 
engines, to be held at the College Farm, 
March 5 to 10. Professor E. R. Gross 
of the Rural Engineering Department 
will take charge of the lectures and 
demonstrations which will cover the 
practical problems of engine operation, 
tractor hitches, also field operation and 
tractor selection. A fee of $3 will be 
charged to cover the cost of gas, oil, 
laboratory outlines and repaii’s. The 
course is open to 20 men. There are 
12 different types of tractors available 
in the laboratory. 
The Rutgers College Egg Show to be 
held under the auspices of the Juniors’ 
in Poultry Husbandry at the State Col¬ 
lege will be conducted from February 
14 to 16. The Experiment Station 
workers, egg producers, boys’ and girls’ 
clubs, students at the College and High 
School students in vocational agricul¬ 
ture are entitled to enter the contest. 
Sweepstakes will be offered for the 
grand champion in each class, while 
five ribbons will be given on both white 
and brown eggs in each class. Every 
entry will be scored and a score card 
returned to the individual contestant.
