State Crops Worth Millions

In his annual report, just made
public. although sent to the Cover
nor some time ago, Secretary of
Agriculture Critchfeld gives
some important figures bearing on
the agricultural products OF Penn
sylvania for the past year. He
says that Pennsylvania raised
2I,S57,96I bushels of wheat,
worth SIS, 100 .49I; 4,S55,74S BUSH
els of corn worth SIS, ,636, ,o9I;
80, ,76I,SIS bushels of oats, worth
SIS, 1909, ,49I; 5,367, IoS bushels of
rye,i wouh $3.50, $40; 1850, OPS
bushels of buckwheat, worth
81 S07, 3S6; 2o4, $40 bushels of bar
ley, worth STA, 5S7; 27,I77, 200
bushels of potatoes, worth SI4, ,674,-
Io4; 4,499,425 tons of hay, worth
S53,lS3, 2o4; I,65S,52I pounds Of
tobacco, worth $I49,4G3.
a comparison of the wages paid
farm hands in this country and in
Europe is made greatly to the adj
vantage of the Pennsylvanians. In
England the wage is 81. IS week,
and the farm hand must keep his
family on that sum. Without labor
saving machinery, the report says,
the farmer of today would be in an
almost helpless position.
The war against the San Jose
scale and other pests, Mr.. Critch-
field says, goes on uninterruptedly
with the aid of the department,
which is educating the people how
to kill the scale.
The department was much graf
flied during the past year to note
the good work done by the press in
exposing the immoral exhibitions
at county fairs, and is glad to note
an almost total eradication of these
features OF the fairs, and there was
great room for improvement, land
for this greatly needed reformation
the people Of the Commonwealth
owe debt of gratitude to the press
of the state" says Secretary Critch-
field.
Regarding good roads he says:
"It is gratifying to note with the
organization Of the Highway De-
partment under the present admin
istration, a disposition to appropri-
ate money from the public treasury
for road improvement is manifested
and we seem to be entering upon a
new era in respect to this very i'm
portant subject.
Secretary Critchfeld calls rural
free mail delivery blessing, and
none is more highly appreciated.
1t is an important element in the
of agricultural condi-
tions all over the State.
Regarding taxation he says that
there are some inequalities that
should be remedied, but those are
due to incompetent aud unreliable
local officials. The remedy is in
the hands of the people

The statehood bills for Oklahoma
and Indian Territory and for Ari
zona and New Mexico will in all
probability be among the measures
that will get hearing in few
weeks. There is big delegation
of Oklahoma boomers and Indian
Territory people in Washington
now in the interest of their bill.
They are perfectly willing for joint
statehood and in all probability the
Hamilton bill, which comes the
nearest to their wishes, will be
passed, About the only thing they
do object to is any provision for
total abstinence i'll the new state.
They say that the government, be-
ing the guardian of the Indians can
naturally do with them as it likes,
but they decidedly object to comrg
into the Union with the prohibition
proviso applying to all the white
people in the state as the Indians.
On the other hand, the bill for
Joint statehood between New Mexi-
CO and Arizona will in all probabIl-
ity have a harder road to travel.
Senator Beveridge has made per.
sonal measure of the joint state
hood bill, and has interested the
President in it to the extent of hav
ing him endorse the measure in the
late message. But at the same
time it is doubtful il there will be
any further active support for the
bill from the White House. There
are no delegations from either ter
ritory in Washington in the inter-
ests of the bill, and the anxiety for
joint statehood, if any exists. is al
most entirely on the side of New
Mexico.

The people OF Arizona say they
would rather be left out Of the Un-
ion indefinitely than tied up with
New Mexico on the question of adj
mission This is rather natural as
New Mexico has population to out
vote the Arizona half of the state
on any proposition and would thus
coutrol the politics of the joint state

THE TIPPING KISS,

Much has been said about the evil
of tipping.
A strong sidelight has been unex-
pectedly thrown upon this evil.
A few weeks ago thirteen girls were
lost while spending an afternoon in
the Adirondacks. BY and by young
man, mountain guide by profession,
found these young women.
Every one of the girls gave him d
kiss for his pains.
A few days ago Uncle Billy Ford
ham. SO years old. a respected resi-
dent of Port Jefferson. L. L., found on
the sidewalk a well-filled purse.
No sooner had he found it than a
Young woman, the owner of the purse
rushed up to him, threw two soft
arms around his neck and gave him
a resounding smack.
"Oh. I'm SO glad YOU found it.
she cried. and fled.
Uncle Billy was glad. too.
During the bathing season at New
Rochelle. eX-Postmaster John F.
Cashen plunged into the water and
saved Mrs. Elmore Murthey from
drowning.
He was enthusiastically cheered by
the men. and scores of girls f1Ocked
about to kiss him.
Cashen begged off on the plea that
he was a married man.
In the good old days tha; our grand
mothers talk about kiss was a sym
boil of love.
1t is great leap from love kisses
TO tipping kisses. But these are rapiG
times.
In the old days of our grandmo;h
ers. the kiss was a symbol of love
The mother might kiss the daughter
Sometimes the father might kiss tht
babies A husband might kiss hi
wife. except on Sundays. The love
might kiss his bride, after the mar
riage VOWS were spoken.
These tipping kisses are quite diff
ferent.
The men who have always con
demned tipping as a nuisance are nov
risking their lives to rescue drOwnin
women or search for lost picnickers
No man seems to think ii beneatl
his dignity 10 accept the new tip.
