Forest Fire Problems Discussed 
At the recent sectional Inter-state 
Forest Fire Conference held in Tren¬ 
ton, N. J., State Forester C. P. Wilbur 
said that New Jersey loses $40,000,000 
annually through forest fires. This 
figure includes the loss through idle¬ 
ness of land, the cost of freight on im¬ 
ported timber and actual destruction of 
timber growth. The present estimated 
value of New Jersey forests is placed 
at $25,000,000,^ whereas Mr. Wilbur 
claims the capitalized value would be 
$200,000,000 in the forests were ade¬ 
quately protected. 
The State Department of Conserva¬ 
tion and Development is now operating 
on an appropriation of $35,000. A 
sum of $70,000 was asked for the com¬ 
ing year, which, if granted, the depart¬ 
ment estimates, would be an amount 
large enough to give protection to every 
section of the State. The farmers of 
Southern New Jersey are extremely 
anxious to get more fire protection for 
the cut-over lands adjacent to their 
farms. 
Px’actical Farm Courses at College 
Late winter and spring bee problems 
were being studied this week by a small 
group of beekeepers who gathered for 
an intensive course in bee' husbandry 
at the New Jersey State College of 
Agriculture. Lectures and laboratory 
work in charge of Professor Hutson of 
the State Experiment Station, and 
E. G. Carr, bee specialist of the State 
Department of Agriculture, were sched¬ 
uled in conjunction with the entomo¬ 
logical work offered by other members 
of the college staff. Considerable in¬ 
terest is centering in the one-week 
tractor course at be held at the college 
farms at New Brunswick, N. J., during 
the week of March 5 to 10. Practical 
study of such problems as carburetors, 
aid cleaners, ignition, magnetos, trac¬ 
tor hitches, field operation and tractor 
selection are to be considered. The 
course is in charge of Edward R. Gross, 
Professor of Rural En^neering. The 
admission fee is $3 ; registration is lim¬ 
ited to 20 men. 
Round about the State 
Growers throughout the southern 
counties still hold large stocks of sweet 
potatoes, for the most part good, sound 
“sweets” which are well graded and 
carefully inspected before they are 
marketed. The State Department of 
Agriculture recently inaugurated a 
sweet potato week to boost consump¬ 
tion. Retail prices, however, have not 
been high enough to encourage the 
rapid movement of sweet potatoes to 
market. Nine New Jersey cities report 
prices around $2 per basket. Whole¬ 
sale prices in Philadelphia, New York 
and Northern New Jersey cities have 
ruled from 50 to 60 cents a basket, with 
90 cents practically the highest on very 
fancy stock, graded and inspected 
under supervision of State represen¬ 
tatives. 
_ Burlington Co.—Out of 1,400 tubercu¬ 
lin tests made by the State on dairy 
cattle in this county, only 16 per cent 
of the animals have been found infect¬ 
ed, according to figures reported at the 
recent meeting of the Burlington Coun¬ 
ty Guernsey Breeders’ Association. The 
following make up the list of officers of 
the Association: President, Lyman A. 
Horner of New Liston; Vice-president, 
Walter E. Wright of Columbus; Secre¬ 
tary and Treasurer, Joseph E. Evans 
of Marlton. The present organization 
is the outgrowth of a Guernsey Bull 
Association started in the county 25 
years ago. 
Gloucester Co.—Truck growers and 
farmers around Swedesboro have united 
with some of the other business groups 
to bring down an extension of the Read¬ 
ing Railroad from Mullica Hill. The 
intensive shipping of tomatoes, sweet 
potatoes, fruits and other farm prod¬ 
ucts from Swedesboro creates the need 
for wider transportation facilities. 
New railroad contracts will give broad¬ 
er marketing contracts to th^e Glouces¬ 
ter County farmers, who maintain that 
their business is sufficient to justify 
their request. 
Gasoline is lots cheaper than elbow 
grease when it comes to pumping the

“Like every breeder and farmer who keeps 
sheep, I have had no end of trouble and losses 
from stomach and intestinal worms. I learhed 
that The Ivo-San Laboratory of Cleveland, 
Ohio, had been conducting some extensive in¬ 
vestigations and tests in connection with stom¬ 
ach and Intestinal worms in all livestock, 
particularly sheep and hogs. 
"I wrote to them to And, out what results 
they had obtained and in reply they said they 
had discovered what seemed to be the most 
effleienf* and satisfactory remedy to destroy 
worms in livestock, that has yet been pro¬ 
duced. Furthermore, their preparation was in 
concentrated form so farmers could mix 
their own remedy. They offered to send me a 
15-lb. package of this new discovery, telling 
me how I could make my own worm destroyer 
and save over half of the usual cost of such 
preparations, and that if It did not do the 
work, the small charge they made for It would 
be refunded. 
“I sent for a 1.5-lb. package of their Wonnix. 
It did the work. Later I ordered six packages 
more. 
“I keep it before my lambs and sheep con¬ 
stantly-—let them have free access to It and as 
a result I haven’t a lamb or sheep that shows 
a trace or sign of stomach worms. I never 
had lambs do so well or look so rugged and 
thrifty. Wormix is a real worm destroyer and 
preventive too. 
“If sheep owners would keep It before their 
sheep and lambs constantly, the worm problem 
would disappear from their Socks entirely, just 
as it has from mine, I am sure.” 
Wormtx, as Mr. Helser of Lafayette, Ohio, stated. 
Is a worm destroyer In concentrated form. Yog buy 
it at a small eost and mix It with ordinary salt. 
Thus you do not pay drug prices for salt or other fillers. 
You save over half the usual cost of such preparations 
and you get a worm destroyer far ahead of anything 
yet discovered. It also contains bone growing minerals, 
is a tonic and digestive and will i)rove the best thing 
you ever used on lambs, sheep, hogs, horses and cattle 
for ridding them of worms—keeping them free from 
these costly pests—keeping all your stock In healthy, 
thrlftly, growing condition. No trouble to feed; no 
starving, dosing or drenching. Animals taka It readily 
and doctor themselves.
