War Adds a Billion Dollars to the
Value of Our Crops.

The following statement as to the
effect Of the war on the value of
American crops is taken from the
current issue Of Farm and Fireside:
There can be no doubt that this
years rise In prices on account of
the war will be no less than a billion
dollars.
Cotton growers and apple growers
have been losers thus, far. The for
mer may yet be delivered from their
difficulties, for cotton will keep If
financial and housing arrangements
are made for its holding. Apples,
too, will keep, but they require stor-
age which cannot be supplied for the
occasion-and the apple harvest Is
brief.
On the whole, however, the Amer
lean farmer stands to win enor-
mously by the insanity of our breth-
rem In Europe. To be sure. the bill
lion dollars is not clear gain. 1t will
be realized only on our surplus.
The man who feeds grain that is
worth seyenty-five cents a bushel is
not iubilant on account of the price.
He can, however, study the balanced
ration, sell the dear grains and buy
the cheaper feeds, if such there are,
economic on all feedstuffs, use his
brains, and make his surplus larger.
While the war prices last is q
time to pay debts and accumulate for
the slump which Is likely to come
when the war is over"

weekly field report submitted by
Milton Cannon, one of the demonstra-

l was speaking to a demonstrator
This week and he says 1t is remark

ne says he attended a meeting at
st. Amant five years ago, at which
meeting our district agent, Mr.. Per
Tin, delivered an address to the farm

now they must fight the weevil to
MAKE cotton. He said that all kinds
OF things were said about Mr.. Per
rms speech and every one laughed
at the idea of hand picking the wee
VII and picking up punctured, fallen
squares. Most everybody said they
would not plant cotton if they had
TO fight the Weevil, so the following
Two years there was very little cot
ton planted. A few of those who did
plant cotton during this time began
TO light the boil weevil and make cot
TON. Now, this year, most every
farmA planted cotton and about 80
per Vent fought the weevil and no
one any longer laughs at the idea or

FiUe Hours Difference
in Time Between Here
and Cities in Europe


While we are all aware that diff
ference in time exists between this
country and Europe. just as it does
between Harrisburg and cities remote
from it in the United States, 1t never
theless comes as rather a surprise to
pick up newspaper here at 8 o'clock
and read as follows:
Travellers reaching Shields, Eng,
tonight reported an encounter be-
tween an English destroyer and a
German cruiser twenty miles off the
English coast to-day" That word
tonight" NAV puzzle just for an
instant.
Tonight" you may reflect, pulling
our your watch why, n.y. It's only .
member that difference in time,
which. while it was only o'clock in
the afternoon here, would have Lon
don in darkness at 10 o'clock at night
all because the whirling globe on
which we live is temporarily out of
the range of the sun in England, but
is catching it's waning rays here.
When 1t Is noon in Harrisburg the
hours will be o'clock in the even
ing at Paris, the same in London, 6
o'clock in Berlin and Vienna and 7
o'clock in the evening at far away st.
Petersburg.
Every circle is divided into 500 de-
grees. Any circle on the globe is thus
divided. With twenty-four hours in
day this allows fifteen degrees of
longitude for each hours time. The
meridian which passes through Har-
risburg, the seventy-fifth. marks as
tron omically just five hours west of
the prime meridian at Greenwich.
Harrisburg time was accepted thirty
years ago as that of the eastern time
ha1t nj m
the central belt, the one hundred and
twentieth the Pacific coast. Europe
is similarly divided into three time
belts
