FROST DAMAGES
TENTH OF LATE
CROPS IN STATE
Central Pennsylvania Escapes
Heavy Loss; Cold Period
Is Over

Rapidly rising temperatures, break
ing the abnormally low period of the
last few days, are predicted for the
remainder of the week by Forecas-
ter Domain, of the local United
States Weather Bureau.
There was q light frost in low
places and somewhat heavier in
more exposed places again last night,
Mr.. Domain said, but only crops of
the tenderest variety, like melons,
were damaged. The frost the night
preceding did slight damage to to-
matoes and beans around here but
heavier in the rest of the State. A
heavy fog which did not lift until
well on in the morning furnished a
natural protection for crops. The
lowest temperature last night was Al.
The night before it was 40. 1t will
not drop below fifty tonight, the
fcrecaster said.
The extreme low temperatures at
this season of the year broke rec
ords back for ten years. Usually
frosts do not occur in this section of
the country until the second week of
October.
over ten per cent of Southern
Pennsylvania's late vegetable crop
was damaged by the frosts of yester-
day and to-day, and in Northern
Pennsylvania the loss will be greater,
according to telephone reports OBJ
tanned at the State Department of
Agriculture. Members of the farm
ers' advisory corps, who were here
to-day for consultation with Secre-
tary Patton and who are just in from
the fields, reported that in the low
lands there were heavy or BLACK"
frosts and that in higher places
winds tempered the condition and
saved the vegetables.
In southern and eastern counties
the beans and sweet potatoes, both
of which were more extensively
planted than ever before, were hard
hit and some farmers reported total
losses. Tomatoes also appear to have
suffered generally, but there are
chances for saving many of them,
according to what has been reported
here. Truck patches in southern
counties were damaged because most
of them are located in low lying
ground.
In Lancaster county farmers took
time by the forelock when frost was
predicted and sent out men to get
in tobacco and saved q considerable
part of the crop. The same plan was
followed in York, but there will be
some loss. In Tioga, Clinton and
other northern counties tobacco,
which was not gathered, was ruined.
Northern county reports show
buckwheat damaged probably twenty
per cent. and late potatoes, beans
and tomatoes seriously harmed. In
many sections there were larger
acreage devoted to these crops than
before. Corn was also damaged. but
can be saved for silos. In some
northern counties the mercury went
down to thirty degrees.

STOCK MEN
HAVE BUSY YEAR
Inspect Many Slaughterhouses
and Examine Much
Meat

A bulletin issued at the Capitol
calls attention to the services rem
dered the people of Pennsylvania
in the inspection of slaughterhouses
and the examination of meats py
the Livestock Sanitary Board of the
department of Agriculture. During
the past year officials having in
charge the meat hygiene work have
closed fifty-two establishments while
hundreds were compelled to make
improvements suggested by the in
spectors. The meat hygiene survey
during the year included the inspec-
ton of 9,997 meat markets and the
examination of 1927 slaughterhouses
In this work there were 43,8
carcasses of meat examined and
4G,446 organs of food material in
spected. During the year there was
inspected and passed 2,717,7S3
pounds of meat
over fifty per cent. of the meat
consumed in the State is slaughtered
under Federal and Municipal inspee-
ton leaving only. the remainder for
the agents of the department to look
after the inspection of the smaller
slaughterhouses in the State. Re-
markable strides have been made
in the handling of all meats and
more sanitary conditions are being
exacted in both slaughterhouses and
the meat markets where the meat
and meat products are sold.

would not be consoled. She tainted.
When a handsome youth of the
Medical unit entrained Monday the
pretty young Miss wound her fair
arms about his neck and would not
be consoled. Weeping bitterly, friends
were about to tear her away when
she fell to the floor of the trainshed
in a swoon.
Imagine Captain Barclays sur
prise yesterday when the dear little
girl of the former touching scenes
placed her hands upon the shoulders
of a departing trooper. Surpristd but
not unresponsive, the young soldier
waited, but the unfeeling officer took
a hand just then and requested the
young lady IN kind but firm tones to
move on. She moved.
Take Mounts Along
Hundreds of persons made gifts of
fruits, cakes and delicacies to the
soldiers. With careful usage, the
olate to last them through the war,
providing the conflict does not con-
tinue more than three or four years
longer.
Troops from Tyrone and other west
ern points were transferred here last
night. their cars having been cleaned
and were held in waiting for their ar.
rival. The members of Troop G will
have their horses with them, as they
were shipped on the same train. The
mounts will be taken from their cars
and exercised as opportunity offers.
Another feature of the procession
was the turnout of the entire Tech
High student body 700 strong to do
honor to the twenty-three members
of the Governors Troop who are
graduates or former members of the
Technical High school. In the throng
were big and little, fat and lean. but
the hearts of each beat as one for
their former companions who were
to go out to fight their battle.
Between Third and Fourth streets
on Market the Maroon students stood
in review of the go-aways. 1t was
"so-long" to "Snitz;" good luck" to
"Fitz;" take good care of your
self" to "Bill" and Hank" and
Bob" and Pete" and many another
good old scout of former days,
who had learned to fight his first
battles on the gridiron for Dear Old
Tech"
After the last line of khaki clad
lads had passed by the Maroon stu
dents fell in line and proceeded to
the station where there were more
cheers for each one and final good
bys.
Send Football Equipment
But the Technical High school lads
sent more than good wishes along
to Dixie land. Yesterday they took
up q collection after chapel exercises
for the purchase OF football equip
ment for the boys OF the troop who
want to continue playing the gridiron
game and uphold the honor of Tech
wherever they may go. A substantial
sum was raised and moneys from
other sources will be added to equip
the squad,
DR.. C. B. Eager, Jr., principal of
the school, was the donor of foot
ball to be used by the team in their
contests. Tech students will be eager
to hear of the success of their old
er colleagues In the fall days that
are tn come.

DEALERS WORK OFF
COAL AT HIGH PRICES

.dvanced proportionately.

advanced proportionately.
The increase in price was brought
to the attention of DIR. II. A. Gar
field, in charge of the government
commission. After making a study
of the prices, DR. Garfield made the
following statement
These dealers are working off
their coal at the very highest prices
they can get in anticipation of the
price being put on it by the govern
ment. I can assure the consumers
that the price will be put on 1t as
quickly as possible, certainly before
the end of this month, and / would
advise them to hold off buying coal
at exorbitant prices until then. The
excuse given by the dealers, that
they must bid for coal from inde-
pendent operators, Is worth very lit
tie, for the independent operators
cannot demand price beyond that
fixed by the President for coal at
the mines.
You can say for me with the ut
most assurance that Philadelphians
will get their coal for winter and
that they Will get 1t at reasonable
prices, in spite of the present situa-
ton"
The now prices quoted by PhiIa-
delphia dealers are as follows: Pea,
$S: egg. SO; stove. $8.75: chestnut,
5000.
Harrisburg prices recently quoted
are as follows: Pea. s7.25 egg,
$3.50; stove. sS.15; chestnut, 1926.
Philadelphia's present prices rep
resent an increase over the prices in
effect in this city as follows Pea, rs
cents; egg, $1.10; stove, 60 cents;
chestnut. 75 cents

STEELTON HIGHS
FIRST PRACTICE
Hard Schedule Ahead. For
Taggart Grew; Means
Strenuous Work

Steelton High will have a hard
schedule for new football team.
This was told to a big bunch of foot
ball candidates yesterday who were
out for preliminary practice. While
the response was very gratifying and
the spirit is strong, Coach Taggert
is of the opinion that hard work
only and daily practice will bring the
desired results.
While Steelton was hit hard by
the war, many of the best stars went
out with graduation. Some strong
material was left behind, and in the
new athletes there is much promise
with one exception every game on
the schedule this season will be with
teams that have shown superiority
heretofore.
Season Starts In Two Weeks
The season opens September 20
with Pottsville. Steelton has always
had a hard battle with the cokl re-
gion team. This year with but two
weeks to get ready, it is a question
whether the Steelton boys will be
able to show anything like the form
of last season at the go off. The open
ing will be at Pottsville. The sched-
ule follows:
September 20, sPottsville, at Potts
vile.
October 6, Stevens Trade, at Steel
ton.
October 13, Lebanon High, at Steel
ton.
October 20, Central High. at Steel
ton.
October 81, Tech High, at Harris
burg.
November 3, Williamsport, at

Monday morning. The report covers
every detail of the weeks business,
and the government commission is
informed each Saturday of every de-
tail connected with buying and SELL
ing in all parts of the country.
Sell as Before
whether or not the local concern
is permitted to sell to mills having
greater capacity than one hundred
barrels a day is a problem which has
not been determined. For the present
the local people are advised to sell
as before at government prices. Aft
er the corporation gets everything
to working smoothly, it is possible
that millers will be required to buy
all of their grain through the COM
mission. Whether this would mean
that the local elevators would be re-
quired to ship their grain to the GEN.
trail elevators, and the commission in.
turn would reship it to the local mill
ers, is not clearly determined.
May Sell Direct
1t is not likely however, that the
government would follow a plan as
costly as this one, although many
elevator men believe that this is pre-
cisely the plan that will be followed.
1t seems more likely that in. case the
corporation makes sales direct to the
MIXERS, the elevator nearest the flour
mill will be designated as the ship
ping point.
For the present, the Paxton Flour
and Feed Company is advised to sell
as they have bten selling in the past.
Large local buyers are the Steelton
people, the mill at that place having
capacity of two thousand barrels.
The price of 50 per bushel for a
good grade of local wheat is based
upon the price of 1920 for hard
northern wheat, Chicago basis. No. l
red wheat, at the Baltimore and Phil
adelphia terminals, is quoted by the
commission at 1929. Pennsylvania
wheat, it is said, is not equal to the
above grade. Other and poorer grades
of wheat than that designated as the
81 grade, may be purchased by the
elevator people at fair price.
Two dollars is considered by farm
ers fair price for wheat. In May,
1917, a small amount of the 1916
crop sold at S3.10 per bushel. This
was the high water mark. In 1913
wheat sold locally for S5 cents per
bushel. In 1914 the price was $1.10.
The record price in 1915 was $1.50
