CUTTING SHORT THE CROPS
Drouth has Been General All Along
the Atlantic Coast


New York, June 3, 1914
Raysor Peanut Co., Ocala, Fla:
In general our reports from all
shipping stations along the Atlantic
coast from Florida clear up to Vir-
ginia and to some extent even as far
north as New Jersey, show that
drouth has been prolonged in all of
this territory. In some sections it
has not rained for seven weeks and
naturally all vegetation is at stand
still.
Conditions in many territories are
entirely unfavorable and the crop
will be cut short in consequence.
Even IL it does rain the yield will be
small and the fruit will not size up
as it would hive done under normal
conditions. This applies to the Car
olinas and Virginia particularly and
Georgia growers have similar COM
plants to offer. Peach growers say
that their fruit will show the effects
will not be as near good size as ex-
pected.
Naturally melons have suffered in
the same way. There are some sec
lions that have escaped, as letter
from our correspondent at Quitman,
Ca, says that the outlook is fine
in Isoc a mr.
the Quitman territory will ship 1900
to 1900 cars, practically all Watsons.
They will move about June 20.
AS a general thing the drouth has
pronounced. Tomatoes have been
affected as much as watermelons
along the Atlantic sea coast.
Conditions in the middle belt of
the country have been unfaVorable,
but not as much so as along the
coast. Our advices show that Miss
issippi and Texas tomatoes are sew
eral weeks later than usual. Tyler
tomatoes are moving from Texas and
Alex. .Woldert, head of the Wo1dert
Grocery Co., one of the heaviest OPP
orators in the Tyler section, says it
is the latest he has ever known it to
be. His firm will have a few cars
between June and 10, but it will
be the last of the month before they
move in large quantities.
As a rule the season is late all
over Texas and some sections have
been practically drowned out, al
though there has been no drouth in
eastern Texas. Tomatoes are ripen-
ing slowly thru Mississippi, particu-
aarly in the Centerville district This
is due to cool nights and northeast
winds. The carlot movement has just
started.
Our great fear is that when mel
ons and tomatoes once begin to
move that they will come from many
sections which ordinarily do not
ship together and there is apt there
fore, to be a heavy supply when
stock begins to move. With a short
er crop on account Of drouth in the
sections particularly affected, the sit
uation will be relieved to some ex-
tent on this account.
We are having reports come from
all over the country and we hope to
prepare special report for you,
giving you little more specific in
formation. We are getting this let
ter off today, however. so as to give
you a general idea of the situation
as it has been reported to us.
Yours truly,
The ProduceNews.

COLD WATER VOTE
SHOWING BIG GAINS
State Chairman Prugh Believes
That 1t viii Be a Surprise to
Some Political Students
POWELL HAS ASPIRATIONS
Rumored That Pittsburgh Friends
Will Boost Him For the United
States Senatorship

DIR. B. e. p. Prugh, the chairman
of the Prohibition State committee,
believes that the official returns of
the whole State are going to show a
big gain in the vote of the cold water
party in Pennsylvania as a result of
the election this year. The official re-
turns lack those of Allegheny county,
but they are expected soon and then
the official totals will be made up and
the vote for each candidate and each
party will be officially certified and
printed.
DR.. Prugh is of the opinion that
there will be Il gain of about 10000
votes shown between the total cast
this month and that of four years ago.
In 1910 Larkin received less than
$4,000 votes and the Prohibition vote
declined from $4,000 in 1908 to 1880
in 1912.
The vote the Prohibition chairman
counts on to show the gain is on Con-
gress as he frankly says that owing
to circumstances attending the guber
Material and senatorial elections they
like the nominees for Congress-at-
large.
Governor r-elect Brumbaugh is fish
ing in Florida and managing to keep
his own counsel about appointments.
He has not intimated anything and has
the political lights guessing.
Congressman Ware and Senator
Ware will return from Indiana to-
morrow and meet their lieutenants in
Philadelphia.
Congressman S. G.. Porter certified
that he did not spend anything to be
reelected.

A. e. Sisson, of Erie, and Thomas H..
Harter, of Bellefonte, are being men

sionership which will become vacant
when Congressman ELECT B. *. Focht
resigns.
In Pittsburgh it is said that friends
of Auditor General a. w. Powell are
planning to start boom for him for
the United States senatorship after the
Legislature adjourns. The successor

Nv HAIENER the nnal determ-
N/ nation of the Legislature re-
" garding the Speakership, the
activity of a number of eX-
perienced legislators indicates a
wholesome rivalry that will do no
harm. Each community is pushing
forward some favorite son and it will
be up to the Republican caucus to
choose out of the considerable list of
aspirants already in the field a proper
person for presiding officer.
1t is almost certain to be a business
session of the House, and 1t is i'm
portant that the one who will WELD
the gavel shall be experienced in par
liamentary practice and have level
head. The competition is already
quite keen among the several sections
of the State and it is more than prob
able that still other ambitious law
makers will get into the open before
the end of December.
His friends of the newspaper field
are backing Mr.. Habgood, of Mexican,
with vigor. 1t is contended in his be-
half that the northern tier has not
had a Speaker since the time of Caleb
Thompson, of Warren, whose election
was brought about through a combi-
nation of the interior counties against
the cities.
Aside from the Speakership there is
likely to be little difficulty in organ
izing the House, inasmuch as most of
those who have experience in legisla-
ton believe that the alleged reform
in the manner of selecting committees
adopted two years ago when COM
mittee on committees was appointed
accomplished nothing save dissatisfac-
tion.
1t is probable, therefore, that the
approaching session will have mighty
little regard for the fads that have
been forced into prominence through
the period of political hysteria that is
now rapidly passing away
Political leaders, the lawmakers
themselves and the people want rest.
They've had enough of legislative eX-
pertinent and clap-trap.

HOME RULE FOR CITIES

= TOME rule for cities of Pennsyl-
- vania is expected to play an i'm
: portant part at the forthcoming
session of the Legislature. Al
ready movement has been started
to bring about some changes intended
to provide wider latitude of action
for municipalities. There has been u
tendency for several years to embar-
rass the cities of the third class with
a lot of new laws which deprive these
cities of the freedom they should have
in managing their own affairs.
Through a spirit of paternalism the
State has taken over u lot of author
ity which should be vested in the
cities themselves, especially in the
handling of their own local problems.
However, it is doubtful whether any
ripping up of present conditions is
desirable. It might be better to en-
dure whatever is evil in the existing
system of municipal administration for
a time rather than fly to untried ex-
periments which may involve Harris
burg and other cities in further trou-
BILE. Manifestly there is need of
amendment here and there to the act
imposing upon these cities the com
mission form of government, but only
such changes should be made as are
absolutely necessary to clear doubtful
or disturbing features of the law. AT
least two more years of the new form
of municipal government should
elapse before there is any general re-
vision of the system.
We agree with the National Bureau
of Municipal Research. which seems
to be devoted to Original and prac-
tical solution of civic matters" that
in purely local matters a city should
have undisputed right of control 1t
should never have been otherwise But
until we shall have more thoroughly
tried out the con; mission scheme of
government, which the Telegraph and

are emphasized in the general
= movement for the improvement
of working conditions and the
raising of the standard of efficiency.
These and other matters of equal i'm
portance are being considered by the
conference now in session on Capitol
Hill under the auspices of the Depart
ment of Labor and Industry.
Referring the other day to safety
first conditions, a metropolitan news
paper recalled that when the Pension
Bureau in Washington was housed in
small buildings, poorly ventilated and
indifferently cared for, the aggregate
loss of time by clerks absent on sick
leave averaged 1876 days annually.
The removal of the bureau to modern
structures reduced these figures to
10,114 days, drop of As per cent.
That the death rate in children's
hospitals has been lowered 35 per
cent. by improved ventilation is the
assertion of Professor S. II. Wood
bridge, of the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology. The introduction of
effective ventilating systems in gen.
eral hospitals has reduced the death
rate in such institutions 30 per cent.
Army hospitals report a II per cent.
reduction and prisons ~ per cent.
Factories that produce articles by
processes causing dust ravage the
health of workers. 1t has been esti-
mated that SO per cent. of button
makers that die at their trade sue
cumb to tuberculosis.
Other figures arc tobacco workers,
3S per cent; candymakers, %; tan
ners, IS; harnessmakers, 1t; glove
makers, IS; shoemakers, 10; millers,
Is; bakers, 20; grain handlers, %.
In each of these occupations the per-
centage indicates deaths due to dust
and improper airing. Manufacturers
are realizing the value of sanitary
working conditions, and in many in
stances factory working has lost most
of it's unhealthful features. But these
statistics indicate there still persists
criminal ignorance or negligence on
the part of many employers in regard
to proper hygienic conditions.
Fresh air, says contemporary, is
cheap and ventilation systems are not
too expensive for any employer to in
stall. And robust, full-lunged clerk
or factory hand is a more efficient
employe than one that is half alive for
= want of proper air.
All of Harrisburg should see the
interesting exhibit in the Chestnut
Street Auditorium of safety and sani-
tary appliances and efficiency systems.
Special attention has been called to
this exhibit by the Harrisburg Cham
ber of Commerce as "out of the ordi-
nary and OF real value"

of Belgium. One ship has already left
Philadelphia with its cargo of food
and another is. now being loaded from
the proceeds of the big-hearted Ameri-
cans who have contributed to the re-
lief of the starving peoples beyond
the seas.
There is still much to be done, and
instead of the usual Christmas-stoc
ing campaign for the poor of Harris
burg, the young people of this city
are urged to contribute to those whose
need is greater in Belgium. What is
given must be given quickly to avert
still greater disaster among starving
women and children.

Other newspapers of the State have
Joined the Telegraph in it's observa-
tions as to the nonpartisan ballot
failure. Instead of making voting a
comparatively easy matter there has
been a constant increase of the difficult
ties in casting an intelligent ballot.
Nonpartisanship may be all right in
considering candidates, but the non
partisan primary and the nonpartisan
ballot and other nonpartisan machinery
have been demonstrated to be utter
failures. This is one subject that the
Legislature might consider with profit
to the people.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-11-18

many of the people of Harrisburg op-
posed, it would be unwise TO begin an
other revolutionary performance that
would only further upset our munich
pal administration.
Discussing the proposed home rule
movement, w. C. Howland, president
of the National Bureau of Municipal
Research, says the people residing in
the city are the only ones who have
an intimate knowledge of local condi-
tions; that they know better than any
Legislature can possibly know what
changes and improvements are needed
in the city and how these changes may
best be brought about. He also calls
attention to the fact that many city
communities have their peculiar prob
lens; that the customs, habits and
ideals of the people of one city may
be unlike those of any other city; that
legislation that is pleasing to one may
be offensive to another. He thinks
that with knowledge of conditions
should go power to change them, and
few persons will differ with him on
this proposition.
Harrisburg has not forgotten that
it was getting along quite comfortably
under the old system of government
until certain smaller cities of the State
determined that they wanted a
change; and because this city was
punched with all the others of the
third class it was compelled to swal-
low the new scheme of administration
without regard to its own wishes in
the matter.
We believe that Mr.. Rowland is on
the right track and that cities have
right to govern themselves so long as
they do not violate any feature of the
organic law designed to protect the
people at large, but it would probably
be just as well to suffer our present
ills until the people shall have been
fully aroused to the need of greater
freedom in handling their own affairs.
