by the Counselors of Agri-
cultural Office

Farm experts from the State De-
partment of Agriculture started this
week to visit the farms of the diff
ferent state penal and charitable in
stitutions to counsel with the super
intendents in order to bring about the
most scientific and approved methods
of agriculture. The assignment of L.
w. Lightly, expert in general farm
management, dairying and soil, and
Sheldon w. Funk, expert in market
gardening and orcharding, to visit the
institutions, was made by secretary

The two farm experts will take up
crop rotation, soil building, plant

of the institutions have large farms
and it will be the purpose of the farm
advisers to follow out the recommen-
dations of the Economy and Effici-
cncy Commission to try to bring
about a maximum of production from
the agricultural lands owned by the
State. 1t will be the purpose to first
plan for crops that can be used by the
institutions and thus save large out
lays for the purchase of food COM
modities, but where this plan cannot
be followed crops that will bring the
best market returns will be recon-
mended.
The farm experts spent yesterday
"a the Pennsylvania Industrial Re
formatory at Huntingdon where there
are forty-five ocreS of garden, 24S
acres for field crops, eight acres in
orchard and eight acres in pasture.
To-day the advisers are at the Penn

Spring City Institution for Feeble
Minded April 90, Norristown State
State Insane Hospital; April %, Far
view State Insane Hospital; April 26,
Danville State Insane Hospital; April

Figures of available agricultural
land held by Stal e institutions show
that there are So acres for garden
ing; 4,094 acres for field crops, 315
acres in orchards, 745 acres in pas
ture and 97S acres in meadow land. or
a total of 6.564 acres for agricultural
purposes. Many of the institutions
have large acreages in lawns, part of
which may be recommended for use
for agricultural purposes.
After the preliminary visit of the
farm experts to the institutions, the
needs of each institution will be
STUDIED and from time to time re-
turn visits will be made to assist in
the management of the farms. Under
a bill now pending in the Legisla-
ture these farms would become State
model farms under the direct man
agement of a bureau in the Depart
ment of Agriculture.

ARMY PLACED ON
BASIS FOR WAR
Plans Call For Raising More
Than 100000 Men For
Service
Br Associated PrcSS


Washington, April 3. - War De-
partment plans for the mobilization of
a wartime army have been completed
for some days and are ready for sub
mission to the military committees of
the House and Senate. No details of
the proposal to be made as to the
method of assembling the force have
been given out, but President Wilson'S
words to Congress last night indicated
the scope of the first step to be taken.
The War Department recently di-
rected that sixty or more noncommis-
stoned officers and enlisted men from
each regiment in the regular army be
selected by their commanders to form
a provisional list of men available for
duty as officers. No examinations were
required. These lists now have been
compiled and with the steadily increas-
ing officers reserve corps furnish six
or eight thousand men who will hold
commands in the half million army to
be mobilized.
The universal service project
formulated by the army general staff
introduced in the form of bill in the
mousse to-uay, proNlueS LOT tne train
ing of approximately 100000 men a
year. The Senate military commit
tee bill, for the same purpose, also
presented to-day, provides for annual
classes of about equal size.
Officials of the general staff are
virtually unanimous is believing that
troops should not be sent to the battle
front with less than twelve months in
tensive training.
If the plans adopted call for 500, 900
federal trops in addition to bringing
the present regular army and National
Guard forces up to their maximum
strength, the United States army
would number more than 1900, 900
men.

JACKSON PLANS
TO SUE IMPOSTOR
Will Protect Men Who Are
Seeking Jobs From the Man
Who Preys on Them

Commissioner John Price Jackson,
dustry will ask the Legislature for
authority to arrest. without warrant,
floating employment agents, who oper-
ate without licenses in Pennsylvania
and transport workers usually to
points outside the State by misrepre-
senting the new employment condi-
tions.
Commissioner Jackson said to-day
that floating representatives of em-
ployment agencies from other states
frequently resort to Misrepresentation
and through deception endeavor to
obtain Pennsylvania workers for
strike-brealling or for purely tempo
rary employment. These conditions,
said the commissioner, are kept Sc
cret until the employe arrives at his
supposed new work. Many complaints
of this nature have been received at
the Department of Labor and Indus
try from workers so deceived.
These floating agents pay the State
of Pennsylvania no fee and have
posted no bonds. Inspectors of the
Department of Labor and Industry,
upon discovering such Hoater, are
powerless to detain him until obtain
ing a warrant for his arrest. In the
meantime the floating employment
agent has disappeared.
Commissioner Jackson says that
these conditions do not apply to bona
fide employment agents seeking
workers for reputable plants in Penn
sylvania or other states where the
employment is permanent at wages to
attract workers and where there is
no deception practiced.
The bureau of employment, of the
Department of Labor and Industry,
supervises all permanent private en-
ployment agencies in the state which,
under the law, must pay an annual
license fee of $50 and post a bond
of $1,000.
