NO WASTE LAND
IN LANCASTER
Report of United States Depart
ment of Agriculture Places
County in Leading Rank

Washington, D. c., July 25. - re-
port of the soil survey of Lancaster
county, Pennsylvania, recently con-
Quoted by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and the Pennsyl-
vania State College has just been pub
lished by the Federal Department.
This report has just been published
by the Federal Department. This re-
port includes a large map showing in
colors the different kinds of soil
found in the county and reference is
made to railroads, highways, rivers,
streams, churches, schools and other
landmarks.
Lancaster county, says the report,
has long ranked as one of the leading
general farming communities in which
intensive farming methods are en-
ployed. There is little doubt, it is said,
that the systems of crop rotation
which have been generally followed
for many years have been the chief
means of maintaining the high state
OF productiVeness of the soils. Gener-
ally, a four-year or five-year rotation
is pacticed, but on some soils this is
heightened to six years and on some
of the smaller farms reduced to three.
Wheat yields vary from about Is
bushels on soils poorly adapted to the
crop to 40 or As bushels on the Hag-
erstown soils, the average for the
county being about 23 busneIs per
acre. In gross returns wheat ranks
next to tobacco. Corn is second in
acreage, being grown widely through
out the county. Practically all of the
corn is husked and fed on the farm.
Tobacco has been for many years an
important source of income, Lancaster
being the leading tobacco producing
county in the State. Pennsylvania
Seedleaf and Pennsylvania Havana
are the varieties grown and the Hag-
erstown, Conestoga- Manor, Chester
and Elk soils are used most extensively
for the crop. The Hagerstown soils
produce as high as $500 pounds per
acre and the average for the county
is about 1900 pounds.
In recent years Irish potatoes have
supplemented tobacco to some extent
as money crop. Rye is not import
ant, and buckwheat is grown to a
very small extent. OF the hay crops
mixed red clover and timothy consti-
tute about 80 per cent of the total.
Commercial orcharding is COM
paratively new in the county, but
nearly all the farms nave small
orchards to supply the home demand.
Small fruit and vegetables are grown
on many farms in conjunction with
general farming, and strawberries
have proved successful.
There is little waste land. Corn
yields of as high as 125 bushels per
acre occasionally are reported and
as much as 40 bushels of wheat per
acre has been produced. Clover does
well. Peaches give heavy yields of
fruit of good quality. ana II the soil
is we'll inoculated, alfalfa should prove
profitable.

Reading Mayor Lifts Ban on
Sunday Baseball; Other
Changes Likely

With the assurance of Sunday base
ball in Reading. the Albany franchise
of the New YORK State League will be
transferred to that city at an early
date. dispatch from Reading says:
Mayor Filbert decided to lift the
ban on Sunday baseball within the
city limits. Before announcing his
decision the mayor studied a number
of legal decisions. the old blue laws
OF 1874 and local conditions as well.
He invited opinions in the matter and
says that there were few against and
hundreds in favor of the movement.
II baseball games are played on
Sunday at the Circus Maximus, remote
from built-up sections of the city, the
noise of fans cheering and shouting
could not be construed. in the mayors
opinion, as nuisance.
Until playing Sunday ball is legally
declared a nuisance says the mayor,
shall not interfere Should the
mayor win out for Sunday baseball in
Reading, it is likely that one of the
New York State League teams will be
transferred here"
Other Changes Likely
Other changes are likely to be made
IN the Farrell circuit. President j. II.
Farrell is having his troubles. Wilkes
Barre's interests are in the hands of
the sheriff and Peter Noonan is look
ing after the leagues interests and
taking care of the club until a new
manager is selected and the financial

from Binghamtcn says:

owner of the champion Binghamton
team OF the New York State League,
announced to-day that unless the fans
of this city give better support to the
Bingoes he will sell his franchise-to
another city, if he receives an offer.
johnson says that he has spent SIC, 900

decision in that match and has agreed
to surrender it on a decision Labor
Day should Billy Roche. of New York
selected as referee on insistance of his
manager, Harry Pollok, give a ver-
dict against him.
Welsh Gets Big Money
Welsh. because of his concessions as
to the decision and his possession of
the title. will take down s13,500 as
his share of the purse, with the option
of taking so per cent of the receipts
should they go above 1000. Whites
-nare is to be $4,000 Welsh also
comes in also for 81 per cent of the

games, Utica taking the first score
to 0; and Albany the second, to l.
Wiltse's home run in the last inning
with two men down brought the an
swer. Fast games of this order are in
evidence daily on the Farrell circuit.
Reading will be big boost for Har-
risburg. The old-time rivalry will be
revived and there will be a hard fight
between these two towns. Albany is
a short distance above Harrisburg in
the race. 1t will now be necessary to
get Reading intothe cellar, in order
to move up in the race. That will be
pleasant work for Cockill's crew. To
make the circuit stronger and renew
still further rivalry Williamsport
ought to go after the Bingoes.
Successes of the Allison Hill League
has prompted the promoters to organ
izing a Recreation Association, taking
in residents of the Allison Hill district
as members. This would assure per-
manent sport for that district With
the money paid in permanent grounds
would be secured. and plans taken up
for the promotion of other sports.
Much interest is manifested in the
new movement.
Winters superb pitching brought a
victory for Rosewood over the Gala
hads, score to o, last evening. 1t
was no-hit game for the local twirl-
er. and the second for the present sea-
son.
In the Lucknow Shop League series
yesterday, the Smith Shop defeated the
Planning Mill, score l to 0. Fast fielding
brought the victory. after the Smith
Shop had annexed the only run of the
game in the first inning. These noon
day battles are also in the sensational
class.
