Winter Wheat Crop Shows Poor Coz

Winter Wheat Crop Shows Poor Con-

Washington Dispatch, May 8.
In the face of a threatened world
food shortage, the American winter
wheat crop shows the lowest condj-
t;cn recorded since 1883 and prom
ised smaller yield than any since
1904.
Agricultural conditions otherwise
are good, the department announced,
and It recalled that although the win
ter wheat crop II 1912 showed an
equally discouraging outlook, the to-
tai production of crops that year
was the greatest on record.

ONE HUNDRED AND NINTH
FIELD ARTILLERY

The One Hundred and Ninth Field
Artillery formerly Third Pennsylvania
Field Artillery is now becoming ac-
customed to it's new home in Augusta,
and although conditions are vastly diff
ferent from what they were on the
border the men are rapidly acclimat-
ipg themselves When the regiment
arrived on August II they faced the
discouraging situation of finding their
camp site covered with scrub oak,
small trees and bushes, but as soon as
the men got the spirit of things all
disComforts seemed to vanish. BY hard
work they soon had the camp in fine
shape and now it cannot be equalled at
any place in the United States. They
found the people of Augusta hospitable
as a whole and many a fine meal has
been spread tot he soldiers by the
kind people of the town.
With the intensive drill schedule now
being followed the boys have very lit
tie time for recreation. but in the early
evening, after mess, they can be seen
playing football, baseball and other
games which help to relieve the mo-
ffotony of camp life The afternoon
calisthenics also help to vary the pro-
gram and work is greatly enjoyed by
the men, as it takes their mind off the
grim business of war with its conse-
quent drill, drill and drill.
The reorganization of Headquarters
and Supply Company has been the
subject of much talk throughout the
camp and it will not be very long be-
fore quite a few recruits will come
into the camp Any men who have
friends who are thinking of joining the
army, and who wish to join where they
may have companions whom they
know, can have them enlist at a regu-
lar army recruiting rendezvous for a
short time and then win be sent direct
to this regiment. The matter of plac-
ing them in batteries with their friends
can probably be arranged through Col
onel Miner at the time the men come
into camp. If at the end of a short
time the vacancies cannot be filed by
men enlisting voluntarily from Lu-
zerne County they probably will be
filled by voluntary enlistments from all
parts Of the country and perhaps some
of the men from the National Army
may be assigned.

FiELDiNGS FROM THE FIELD
HOSPITAL

The sanitary troops of the Field Hos
pitfalls wish to express their apprecia-
ticn of the open house hospitality
shown them by the people of Augusta.
The Y NJ. c. A. too, comes in TO- is
share of thanks, supplying the lumber
for open-air stage in the midst of
The Field Hospital camp. The COM
panies tried out their home talent for
the first show Monday night. Major
Brady of Company Ito had charge Of
the first performance. The new Field
Hospital Orchestra will be held strictly
responsible if Wierd and terrible sounds
COM from the direction of the rustic
orchestral pit. The Arti,le sent us
it's band last Monday evening and we
danced in the sand. The snake dancer
in costume was great.
The officers of Field Hospital No 1f0
were very much married quartet last
week; the rest of us looked On with
envy. Sergeant Hoke, the snake char
mer OF No. iii, has learned a few
facts about snakes. Private Ewing of
the same company, is washing pots and
pans this week. Quit come down
for the popular tenor singer from Phil
adelphia.
There is a rumor going the rounds
to the effect that compulsory mus
tache removing will start on Monday
of next week in f. I. 112. The ton
serial artists expect no trouble, but it
is understood that as some of the men
have been wearing their additions for
several years, razors will prove made

street Some of them cost 81 and now
that the spruce up" orders is in force,
the aforesaid Stetsons are not worth
ten cents. In fact, some of the soldiers
have disposed of their nobby tops for
the ridiculous sum of rs cents. An
other item of personal attire that has

BUSY BAKERY.

Pennsylvania's First Field Bakery
has been a great success under the di-
rection of Captain Frank L. Mueller, of
Philadelphia. The men have become
experts in the pastry art and while in
the Quaker City, encamped in City
Hall Plaza, made and sold enough pies
to hungry Philadelphians so that 81 500
was added to the mess fund before
making $4,000 pounds of bread Two
and q half carloads of cordwood are
required every two days to keep the
fires burning. Next in command to
Capt Mueller is First Sergeant Rug
gaber, and the ninety nine enlisted
men are busy day and night keeping
the division supplied.
