Urge Reciprocity on Truck 
Licenses in New Jersey 
and Pennsylvania 
W. H. BULLOCK 
^OMMITTEES of New Jersey and 
Pennsylvania farmers from the 
Delaware River Valley waited upon 
Governor Pinchot at Harrisburg, Pa., 
last week, in an effort to bring about 
further reciprocity between the two 
States on the matter of motor truck 
licenses. New Jersey farmers who use 
Eastern Pennsylvania markets, such as 
Philadelphia and Easton, have been 
handicapped by the Pennsylvania law 
which allows motor trucks with New 
Jersey licenses to enter the State 15 days 
in a year, but only for a period of one 
day a week. Eastern Pennsylvania 
farmers, on the other hand, who use the 
Phillipsburg, Trenton and Camden 
markets have likewise been handi¬ 
capped by the New Jersey law which 
allows but 15 days in the State, which 
days may be consecutive if desired. 
The committee from New Jersey 
which is working upon this reciprocity 
represents such bodies as the New 
Jersey State Grange, the Federation of 
County Boards of Agriculture and 
some of the South Jersey farmers’ or¬ 
ganizations. The Pennsylvania group 
was made up of those representing the 
Inter-State Milk Producers’ Associa¬ 
tion, the Pennsylvania State Grange, 
the Farm Bureau and other organiza¬ 
tions with membership located along 
the Delaware River border line. By 
bringing this matter to the attention 
of Governor Pinchot, both groups hope 
to work out a plan which will cause less 
trouble to the farmers hauling farm 
products from their State to the mar¬ 
kets of the other State. 
It was called to the Governor’s atten¬ 
tion that Pennsylvania might so change 
its license regulations that the 15 days 
now allowed under the law could be 
taken consecutively if desired. Also, 
the representatives asked for a liberal 
enforcement of the laws of both states 
such as now exists between New York 
and New Jersey, which permits the 
farmers to , deliver commodities in the 
markets of the adjacent state even 
though it is necessary for them to 
make a larger number of trips than 
technically permitted under the law. 
The other alternate which has been 
discussed by representatives of both 
New Jersey and Pennsylvania is for a 
free zone along the border line, which 
might include such territory as greater 
Philadelphia, some of the smaller towns 
north along the Delaware and Easton, 
while in New Jersey it would include 
Phillipsburg, Trenton, Camden and a 
tew other intex’mediate points. This 
whole matter of reciprocity has awak¬ 
ened considerable agitation in both 
states, and its ultimate adjustment will 
relieve the farmers of considerable 
hardship which they now have in the 
way of meeting motor-tr'uck license 
requirements. 
Gardeners Fighting for Better 
Markets 
Another type of reciprocity is being 
sought by the market gardeners in 
Northeastern New Jersey, who sell their 
products practically the year round 
in New York City markets. The New 
Jersey members of the New York Mar¬ 
ket Gardeners’ Association have called 
upon the New Jersey State Bureau of 
Markets to_ work with the State and 
city marketing officials in New York so 
that they may have better facilities for 
marketing their products in the metro¬ 
politan area. The antiquated methods 
and equipment of the farmers’ markets 
m New York City, which have been 
continually exposed in the last two 
years, are not in accord with those of 
progi-essive farmers’ markets in such : 
cities as Rochester, Detroit and Cleve¬ 
land. The New Jersey gardeners are 
putting their shoulders to the wheel 
With the market gardeners of Ijong 
Island and Staten Island in the formu¬ 
lating of a constructive program which 
will ultimately bring about a systen^ of 
better farmers’ markets. 
We think more of the good old Ameri¬ 
can Agriculturist than any other farm 
paper, and we like the good clean 
stoi'ies you print in it. With best 
Wishes to you and your paper for the 
coming- year, we remain. — Earle V.

Tractors generally work at practi¬ 
cally full load—with the throttle 
wide open. This produces an unusu¬
