interested in corn growing and Mr..
Anderson's talk interested them so
much that a general discussion or
round table talk followed. Mr.. Ander-
son is a great believer in level culti-
walton and he told the farmers the
benefits to be derived and how much
cultivation would help to maintain the
moisture in the soil. BY hilling the
corn to any extent, he said, cutters
between the rows would follow and
then when a heavy rain falls much
of the moisture which should remain
in the corn field, is carried away.
Level cultivation, he explained, is n
big Improvement and he urged farm
ers to cultivate Immediately after each
rain and that better crops would be
the reward
Talk on Drainage
The last speaker at the afternoon
session was Charles G.. McLain, of JEFF
ferson county, an expert on farm
drainage and water supply systems.
He spoke of the various drainage sys-
TENS in use and recommended the tile
drainage as the most desirous. Ere
quently," said Mr.. McLafn, 1--WE find
the old stone drain, the kind with the
fiat stones on either side and others
over the top. There is a great disad-
vantage in these because during the
ury SeaSon, ground moleS, rats and
other little animals get into them and
dig up the ground so that when wet
weather again appears the old drain
will be damned up and practically use
less until repairs are made. There is
another drain which / have often seen
and it is very good. ditch is dug
and then layer of fine stone is put
in the bottom On this is placed a
layer of larger stone and then comes
another layer of fine stone and the
top soil. But the best that can be
used is the tile drain. The tiles, col
larless, must be properly laid, end to
end, until a long pipe is formed. The
surplus water in the ground finds its
way through the space between the
pipes and is then carried off. l would
recommend the use of tile in all cases
if good substantial drain is desired
The institute is being held in the
Union Chapel and the last session will
be held this evening at lis o'clock.

/ baseball world. The efforts of the Bal
timore Federal League hackers to pre-
vent decision from Judge Landis
until their case is heard is being taken
seriously. Just what can happen lis a
question. The Feds are out of busi-
ness and should there be decision in
favor of Baltimore 1t may cause a mix
up in the major leagues. as many
Fed players have signed contracts.
Coaches Peet and Hill will make a
strong bid for another champion track
team at Tech. In their first call for
candidates, which will be made next
week, every effort will be made to have
all of the athletes who have had ex-
perience to get into training early.
The developing of new candidates will
require time and the local coaches de-
sire to make a showing in the April
events.
Techs defeat at Reading last night
means that the local tossers must win
one more victory than they counted on
in doping out the final results of the
scholastic race. 1t will be the team
that wins away from home that will
take the flag. York thus far has been
taking mostly home games, losing the
first to Central The latter has u
better record for out-of-town Victories.

COACHES PLAN AN
EARLY TRACK CALL
Tech Athletes to Line Up Next
Week For Practice; Prob
able Candidates

Coaches Peet and Hill will make
track team at the Technical high
school within the next few days. The
preliminary work will begin at once
indoors in preparation for the annual
relay races to be held at the Uni
Versity of Pennsylvania in April.
Other candidates will also be given
their preliminary training for partici-
patton in the track and field events to
be held by the school later in the
Spring.
From last years relay team Stans-
field, Stiteler and Heffelfinger have
been lost because of graduation. Those
who remain that have competed in the
quarter for Tech are Demming, Evans
and Gipple. These three men have
competed for the Maroon and are the
most likely to make positions. Eyster,
possibly the fastest dash man in the
school, will also try for a position
on the relay team. Davies, another
viii likely enter the race for position.
Several promising freshmen also loom
up at this distance.
Probable Relay Team
Cole. winner of three gold medals
in the grammar school track meet,
Moltz and Elmer are all first year men
who will have an opportunity to show
their caliber before the final selection
is made for the Philadelphia carnival.
Besides the annual track and field
meet held on the Island by the high
schools of Central Pennsylvania the
Maroon team will also be represented
at State College, Reading, Norristown,
Mercersburg and Gettysburg. While
lot of new material is expected to be
developed, the most likely candidates
for the several positions are as fol-
lows:
Possible Teams
1O0-yard dash. Eyster and Raleigh
Evans: 200-yard dash, Davies and Eys-
ter: 440Eyard dash, Demming and Clip
pie; half-nlile, Shipp and V. Snyder;
one-mile run, Harmon, Kay and John
Moltz; two-mile run, Sutch, McGann,

.MELEYS KSdoRNER

In the opinion of local basketball
Ians, 1t is toss up as to whether
Ihomas. of Central High, is the star
player in the scholastic league. or
Greenawalt, of the York five, deserves
the honors. In the recent game on
Auditorium floor Thomas was the big
star. There is no discounting the fact
that Greenawalt has been leading all
others in the game this season and has
been big factor in York's present
standing.
Tommy Donan, the Columbia boy
who is making Harrisburg his busi-
ness and training headquarters. added
TO his laurels at Lebanon when he
stopped Young Schriver. The Donan
boy is clever boxer, clean in his
work. and the general opinion prevails
that he is conner.
The site of the big fight between
Willard and Moran has not been
picked. 1t is about time that the pro-
moters demand a big bonus from hall

second and the owners of the place
where the fight will take place to get
what is left.

FIRE FOLLOWS
STATES WARNING
Comply With Recommends
Proprietor Who Failed to
tionS Loses Store

Commissioner John Price Jackson
of the Departm + of Labor and In
dustry. declared to-day that pro-
prietors of stores. owners of factories
and similar establishments must COM
ply Immediately with instructions
issued by inspectors of the department
to reduce the annual fire loss in Penn
sylvania.
In discussing the necessity for such
compliance Commissioner Jackson to-
day said
1.-TWO inspectors of this department
recently made a rigid inspection of a
store in Pennsylvania city. The pro-
prietor of that store was warned that a
fire might break out in his establish
ment at any time, due to waste, pack
ing material and oil receptacles that
had been allowed to accumulate in
considerable disorder. The inspectors
ordered the proprietor to clean up his
place Immediately and left a written
order for the following improvements,
among other demands: Clean up en-
tire building and remove all waste
paper; provide metal receptacles for
ashes in basement, and provide fire
proof room for all oils, turpentine and
all combustible material
"The proprietor of that store was
given until specified date to make
improvements, and, before that time,
to notify the department that the or
ders had been met. No notification of
compliance with the order was re-
ceived by the Department of Labor
and Industry and the inspectors ar
ranged their schedule to return to that
store at the elapse of the short time
period allowed.
1.-TWO days before the elapse of that
time the store was destroyed by fire
at a loss exceeding $4,000. The fire
men of the city in which the fire
occurred were subjected to the gruell-
ing hardship of fighting a stubborn fire
on a bitter cold night. Families in
nearby apartments were endangered
and the fire caused damage in an
adjacent store"

FARMERS MEET
In LINGLESTOWN

committee is made up of Jonas Cas-
sci, f. Wolfensberger, Samuel Rabuck,
David Shaded and DR.. c. Fl. Smith.
Sheldon w. Funk, of Boyerstown
was the first speaker at the meeting
last evening and he gave an illustrated
lecture on fruit growing and the care
of orchards. Mr.. Funk, although a
very young man, is one of the author
tiles of the State on fruit culture. His
work has been recognized by the De-
partment of Agriculture and recently
he was made a member of the State
advisory board.
Instructions on Pruning
Mr.. Funks talk last evening was
along the lines of cultivation, pruning
and spraying and he showed pictures
10 illustrate each point. He also took
up grating and explained in detail
now the various CRAFTS are accom-
pHshed and the benefits to be derived.
Along the lines of pruning, the speak
er produced slides showing a tree at
one, two and three years and showed
how it should look when the work is
carefully and properly done. In peach
orchards, declared Mr.. Funk, the
trees should be pruned from the first
year, always cutting out the inside
lwigs and permitting the main ones
on the outside to remain and grow
back from the center of the tree. If
this work is done properly he says,
when the tree natures and fruit is
produced plenty of air and sunshine
can get to all the branches. Peach
trees in we'll cared-for orchards often
appear as though the entire centers
were cut away, but this appearance is
the result of good pruning from the
beginning. Mr.. Funk showed that
the branches on the tree become stur-
dier and grow outward instead of di-
rectly upward when they are properly
tended. The spread of the tree
makes picking easier and in many
cases all of the fruit can be picked
from the ground even though the
peaches be on an old tree. This kind
OF growth, explained the speaker.
