Electric Light Rates Reduced.

After being under consideration for
many months, from authoritative
source it was learned last night thar
the revised schedule of electric light
rates of the Hagerstown and Freder-
lex Railway Company will go into eff
feet about February 1. The schedule
provides for considerable reduction.
1t is a graduated rate with 8 IL cents
as the maximum and a ga cents the
minimum. The present scale is IL
cents per kilowat with certain dis
counts.
The graded scale of IL to 49,
cents provides for a five per cent. in
crease if the accounts are not paid
within ten days.
The rate for Middletown and Brad
dock has been reduced 2 cents per
| kilowat
In some instances this new sched-
ule will mean reduction of 20 per-
cent.
Frederick now has an electric light
rate that is as low if not less than
those charged by light companies i'll
cities much larger. This reduction
was made possible only by the com
bining of the plants of the company
and brings to Frederick a relief that
has long been sought.
The rates were passed upon by the
Public Service Commission last week
and will likely go into effect in about
week. They were patterned along
the lines of the schedules fixed by the
light and power companies of. the
largest cities of the country. 1t was
learned last night that the revision
will mean a cut in revenue of about
$4,000 in Frederick alone.
The adjustment of the light ques-
tion in Frederick has been under adj
visement for months. About a year
ago the officials of the company had
this reduction in mind. When the city
granted the railway company strees
franchise it was known that the re-
vision would come. At that time the
news that revision had been con-
templated was given the members of
the Board of Aldermen unsolicited.
The cutting of light rates will give
stimulus to the business of the light
company. 1t will mean that the users
of oil and old fashioned" lights viii
be reduced to a minimum. The re-
vision makes modern lighting systems
possible for Frederick, Middletown
and Braddock people of moderate
financial means.
Holstein- Friesian Breeders to

management of the Department OF
Agriculture, will also be one of the

err, and recently purchased $4,000
bull at public sale at Syracuse.

TURKEYS SHY IN
PENNSYLVANIA
Only Seventy-Seven of the
Average Crop to Be Found
on Farms of the State

Pennsylvania will be shy on Thanks
giving turkeys of the homegrown va
riety because of the extremely wet
weather which prevailed during the
season when the turkeys were being
raised. In many parts of the State
where turkey raising is quite busl-
ness thousands of young turkeys were
lost last Spring and in the early sum-
mer, the weather being very unfavor-
able for raising them. From reports
made from over 500 townships the bu
reau of statistics of the Department OF
Agriculture estimates that the number
of turkeys thi syear is only n per cent.
of the average of turkeys in Pennsyl-
Vania in the last ten years. The con-
dition of the turkeys is about per
cent. less than the average. In many
counties the birds have all been bought
up for shipment to large cities and
Pennsylvanians may be dependent on
New England or southern fowls for
the big dinner.
The same wet weather is responsible
for the unfavorable condition of the
potato crop. The production is esti-
mated at only rs bushels per acre
against 106 last year, while the total is
given as 20,502, 600 bushels against
S,40S,000. The acreage this year was
per cent. greater than the potato
the weather kept down the crop. The
potato rot or blight seriously affected
some counties. Wayne, for instance,
reporting a loss of so per cent. of the
crop, while Lancaster and Franklin
suffered loss of per cent. A gen.
eral estimate for the State made from
tirst-hand reports by Statistician l.. IL.
While is that 22 per cent. of the potato
crop was affected.
The good prices realized for wheat
have caused the acreage for this grain
planted this Fall to be greater than
last year. 1t is estimated that 1,33S,000
acres, or 1880 acres more than last
year. were seeded for wheat. This in
formation is from tirst-hand sources
and the weather conditions have been
favorable. The wheat was sown very
late to avoid the Hessian fly.
Estimates of the area seeded for rye
are for 266,000 acres. a smaller area
than last year, and the condition is
rather backward.
The corn harvest is estimated at
81, 1872 900 bushels against 5S.92O,O00
bushels last year. The area was
1922, 600 acres and the yield ran about
SO bushels per acre, which was lower
than hoped. The wet weather and
storms interfered with corn. Buck
wheat shows an average crop of 20
bushels per acre, or approximately
., 900 bushels, which is less than
last year.
|. Tobacco figures show 45,675, 900
pounds, a decline of about LOO, 600
pounds. The yield per acre was 1,450
pounds. Lancaster raises nearly all of
the tobacco.
The state had three cuttings of al
falfa in most counties and the produc-
ton per acre 2.S tons. The crop was
4 per cent. better than in 1914. The
cloverseed yield was Disappointing
