WHEAT HARD HIT
BY THE WEATHER
Reports Coming Here Indi-
cate That Much Damage
Has Been Done to Grain

Reports coming to the State De-
partment of Agriculture on the coz
dition of winter wheat and rye are
declared by the bulletin of the de-
partment to be varying" and in
some localities it is stated that con-
ditions "are anything but favorable
due to the wet autumn, farm work
delays and late planting.
MANY farmers are now reporting
, wheat at about sixty per cent. of the
normal condition at this time and
in some instances farmers state that
the condition is poorer than they
have ever KNOWN" says the bulletin
discussing reports on the two ce-
reals.
Secretary of Agriculture Patton
makes +" call in the bulletin upon all
local draft boards which. granted de-
ferred classification to young men
who asked it because of agricultural
pursuits, to see that the men who
went into industrial or mining work
during the winter either go back to
the farms or are given another clas-
sification. The secretary urges that
men who have been given deferred
classification because of agriculture
get back to the farms as soon as the
farming season opens.
Secretary Patton says: "The farm
labsr situation is serious and all
available help must be given the
farmer if Pennsylvania is to produce
its maximum crop of corn, oats,
buckwheat, wheat, rye and vege-
tables. The state will try to assist
the farmer in every way possible and
has arranged to place forty tractors
in different sections to help prepare
the land for the seasons crops. Many
agricultural claims for deferred
classification have been allowed the
young men of draft age, but during
the winter they have drifted to the
cities or to work other than agricul-
ture. 1t is only just to the thousands
of other young men of the state who
have been called to the colors, that
those allowed agricultural deferment
should get back to the farms at
once, and perform the farm work
which gave them the deferred clas-
sification.
II think that it should be the duty
of every district draft board to go
over the agricultural claims allowed,
and unless all young men effected
are found actively engaged in farm
ing by April Is, then their status
should be changed, and they should
be reclassified, placed in Glass L and
inducted into military service.
Let us give every aid possible to
the production of bumper corn crops
this summer and the preparation of
record wheat acreage next fall"

PEOPLE AND EVENTS TT
A MOTHERS HEART AND THE
PRICE OF PEACE.

FHICE Of FENCE.
He hurried away, young heart Of JOY,
Under the Devon sky,
And I watched him go, my beautiful
boy
And weary woman was I;
For my hair is gray and his was
brown
He'd the best of his life to live;
And I loved him so-and I am old,
am old,
And he's all had to give.
Oh. yes. he was proud, and swift and
gay,
But, oh, my eyes were dim.
With the sun in hts heart he went
away,
But he took the sun with him.
For look! how the leaves are falling,
now,
And the winter won't be long.
Oh! Boy. my boy, with the sunny
brow,
And the lips of love and song.
How we used to sit, at the days sweet
end,
We, two, by the firelight glow,
And we'd drift to the valley of Let's
Pretend
On the beautiful River Of Dream.
Oh, dear little heart. All wealth I'M
told
I'd gladly, eladv pay,
Gould I just for a moment closely
hold
That brown head to my gray.
For gaze in the fire, and I'm seeing
there
A child, and he waves to me,
And 1 run and hold him up in the air
And he laughs and shouts with
glee-
A little bundle Of love and mirth,
Crying, Come, Mumsie, dear!"
Oh me! If he called from the ends of
the earth
know that my heart would hear.
Yet, the thought comes thrilling
through my pain:
How worthier could he dep
Yes. a loss like that is a glorious gain,
And pitifully proud am 1.
For peace must be bought with blood
and tears,
And the boys Of our hearts must
pay;
And SO, in our Joy of the after years,
Let us bless them every day.

ton can be used to make vegetable

bread, can save butter.

Of HOStilitieS

Washington. Nov. S.-The German
armistice delegation entered confer
ence with Marshal Foch at o'clock
this morning, French time. the State
Department announced officially to-
day.
Announcement was made also that
if it is found that the German dele
gates must refer the armistice terms
to Berlin, they will be given seventy
two hours from the time that decis-
ion is reached in which to answer.
No effort at comparison or eva
sion by the Germans is to be tolerat-
ed; they must take what the Allies
and the United States offer and lay
down their arms or there will be no
interruption of the great offensive
which is destroying the German
military machine.
An official dispomatic dispatch
from France to-day emphasized that
Marshal Foch is empowered only to
deliver armistice terms to the Ger
mans and receive their acceptance,
and that peace negotiations are not
the business of the military COM
mander.
Any suspension of hostilities be-
fore the armistice is signed even if
asked on philanthropic grounds, is
declared to be out of the question.
The War Department received word
during the day that the American
troops had entered the historic city
of Sedan. This news was contained
in General Pershing's communique.

Paris. Nov. S.--One hundred days

begging peace. The conviction is
universal that. whether the German
delegation signs articles of capitula-
tion or not, Germany is beaten.
The Allied advance, particularly
the exploit of the Americans in cap
turing Sedan, shows clearly that
continuation of hostilitics by Ger
many can lead only TO military
debacle in the near future. This
feeling is confirmed by news re-
ceived from reliable quarters that
Germany's internal affairs are drift
ing toward chaos.

rain. When the news of Sedan was
