Heritage, Jason - 1852

Jason Heritage, of Burlington county, New Jersey, says an acre and a half of ground, planted with strawberries, will this year yield him, clear, $1000.  Five hundred quarts were taken from the vines at one picking, on a little less than a quarter of an acre of land, which, at 50 cents a quart, yield $250.

Hawkins, John - 1803

We understand that the Reverend B. Alliton, principal at the academy of Bordentown, (N. J.) in connection with Mr. John Hawkins, has made a discovery likely to prove highly beneficial to paper-makers, viz : the making of paper from the husks of Indian corn.  It is expected that this article can be furnished in great abundance by the farmers, at a low rate.

We are informed that they have obtained a patent for the invention from the United States, and propose selling out rights to paper-makers.
