New Jersey Farmers Agree 
on Legislative Bills 
Friday, September 26th, the New 
Jersey Federation of Farm Bureaus, 
cooperating with the New Jersey State 
Grange, met at Trenton and outlined 
a farmers’ legislative program for the 
coming year. The meeting, consisting 
of some fifty or sixty men representing 
nearly every section and every kind of 
agriculture in Jersey, was one of the most 
interesting and worth while gatherings of 
farmers that we have attended in a long 
time. 
When President H. E. Taylor of the 
Farm Bureau Federation called the meet¬ 
ing to order, he said that its object was to 
work out a unified legislative program for 
the farmers of New Jersey, one which the 
farmers could get back of. Dr. W. H. 
Whiton, chairman of the legislative com¬ 
mittee of the Federation, stated that it 
was of no use to go to the legislature and 
ask for legislation for agriculture unless 
the farmers themselves were a unit in 
desiring the same and wanted it hard 
enough to fight for it. 
For a General Trespass Law 
The meeting then proceeded to take 
up proposed legislative bills and disposing 
of them one by one in regular order. 
The first thing that received considera¬ 
tion was a discussion of the bill permitting 
farmers to organize mutual insurance 
companies. Mr. J. C. Cooley explained 
that this bill passed the New Jersey 
Senate last year but was lost in the 
House during the rush of closing. A 
resolution was carried by the conference 
asking for its passage this year. 
The question of a trespass bill of a gen¬ 
eral nature received a large amount of 
attention by the meeting. New Jersey 
farmers, perhaps, more than farmers else¬ 
where, because of their large amount of 
fruit and market gardening, suffer from 
automobile thieves and from general 
trespassing. Bills designed to give farm¬ 
ers adequate protection are opposed by 
sportsmen and by the fish and game com¬ 
mission. Also, there are many farmers 
who do not like to see too drastic trespass 
legislation because they themselves like 
to hunt. At present there is a good law 
on the books against trespassing on posted 
lands while hunting or fishing. The meet¬ 
ing adopted a resolution asking for a bill 
extending the present hunting or fishing 
trespass law to cover all kinds of tres¬ 
passing on cultivated lands. In the 
discussion, one farmer got a good laugh. 
Someone had said that many farmers 
like to be sportsmen and hunt and fish. 
“Yes,” this farmer said, “it takes 
a pretty good sport to be a farmer these 
days anyway!” 
Heavier Penalty for Roaming Bulls 
. The bill passed in the Senate and lost 
in the House last year for increasing the 
fine on roving bulls, received attention. 
It was brought out that it was very dis¬ 
couraging to take a lot of trouble in 
getting purebred herds and then to lose 
the results for years from one or several 
of the good individuals because of a rov¬ 
ing scrub bull. The resolution carried 
asked the legislature to raise the fine to 
the careless owner of such bulls from 
twenty-five to one hundred dollars for 
each offense. 
New Jersey’s genial Secretary of Agri¬ 
culture, Alva Agee, explained that more 
specific legislation was needed to make 
the act of 1917 regulating milk dealers 
enforceable^ On his suggestion, the 
conference passed a resolution to ask the 
legislature for a more specific law govern¬ 
ing the licensing and bonding of milk 
dealers. 
The proposed federal amendment on 
child labor came up for a long and em¬ 
phatic discussion. It was brought out 
that the farmers of New Jersey are not 
opposed to reasonable legislation govern¬ 
ing the employment of children but they 
were most emphatically opposed to the 
Federal Child Labor Amendment and 
a resolution to that effect was carried.
