NEW BUILDINGS
... FOR BENTON

Benton has started to come back.
Like Chicago, Boston, Baltimore and
other bigger places it soon shook off
the ashes of its fire and started to
build a bigger and better town in place
of the one that was destroyed.
About fifteen houses are nearing
completion there and there are also
business blocks under way that are
expected to be finished before many
weeks. The town has settled back in
to something like its usual routine but
everybody that lost house or a build
ing of any kind is terrible anxious to
get new one in its place.
y Williamsport firm has prepared
plans for new building for the Col
umbia County National Bank and the
building itself is under way. The
plans call for two story light mottl-
ed brick building trimmed with stone,
40XG0 feet in Dimensions and with a
strictly modern equipment. The first
floor will be devoted to banking bust
ness and the second to offices. The
treatment Of the front is such that the
entrance to the second floor is set back
from the building line two and one.

Is MILLION On :
LANCASTER FARMS

One need not 90 to tile west for ex-
amples of scientific farming, in fact
the greater increase of yields in the
west is due more to the natural fertil-
ity of the soil, which has not been ex-
hausted, as it has been in the east, and
where big crops are raised in the lat
ter it is due more to the application
of theoretical plus the practical Enowl-
edge gained through chemicals and
modern methods of tilling the soil.
Manifestly the Lancaster county,
Pennsylvania. farmers are on excellent
terms with the soil. There are in that
county some 5000 or 10, 600 farms,
great and small, and their crops this
year are valued at S25, 900, 900. The out
put of wheat is worth $4,000, 900 /;
corn, So, 600, 900; hay, 81, 800, 000 tobac-
CO, 50, 600, 900, total of $l2, 800, 900
for the four staples named. A similar
total is reported for other crops, in
Guiding rye. oats, potatoes, fruit,
vegetables, livestock and dairy pro-
ducts. We will give some of the staid
old farmers of northeastern Pennsyl-
vania credit for excellent crops, but
it is a fact that the greatest transfor-
nation in farming in this and SUR
rounding counties, is on lands pur-
chased by wealthy or we'll to do peo-
pie of the city, who in connection with
a summer home have become interest
profit in intensive farming, rather in
following the direction of the State
and national boards of agriculture, in
the application of fertilizers, just as
the soil is in need, as indicated by the
vegetation, color, etc. The knowledge
of farming is not picked up in NOM
ent and like every vocation the tilling
of the soil Iequirs hard work as we'll as
hand work. In view of the rundown
condition of the land, through proper
fertilization and cultivation, it re-
quires several years to obtain results
from the more modern methods of
farming, which requires consider
able expenditure of money as we'll as
work to make showing, but we shall
have tangible evidence of what can be
accomplished in very few years in
the Abingdon region, Spring Brook,
Madison and Jefferson townships.
