WHEAT CROP OF
STATE SBACK
Corn and Potato Yields Less
Than Last Year, Depart
ment Says

Pennsylvania wheat crop this
year is declared by the statistical
bureau of the State Department of
Agriculture, which has been secur-
ing first hand information from
more than 700 crop reporters
$4,000 bushels less than that of
1917. The corn and potato crops
are also less than last year, but oats,
buckwheat and rye show gains and
tobacco is better than usual.
The statement by L. H. While, the
statistician is that the wheat crop
will average 1873 bushels per acre
and aggregate 26,023,674 against
19.1 bushels per acre and 26, 1856, ,796
last year. The yield is stated to be
AN agreeable surprise" in view of
good. Lancaster ranks first in
wheat with York and Berks next,
Franklin losing third place. Rye
shows 17.5 bushels per acre as an
average and a total production OF
4,676,500 against 4,573, 259 bushels
last year. Buckwheat in which
Pennsylvania is believed to be the
leading state, shows a yield of 1SA
bushels per acre with a total of
100000 bushels against $4,000
in 1917. Late rains improved the
corn and the present forecast is that
the yield will approximate 90 per
Nf hue
els per acre." says Mr.. While. who
duction will be 59,925,000 bushels
against 65.26o,000. This is the
most valuable cereal crop in the
state. The acreage is probably the
largest ever planted" says he.
Oats is estimated at 80 bushels
per acre and a total of 44,105,214
bushels compared with 3S.S0O,769
bushels last year. The quality is
good and the yield per acre ahead of
a ten year average.
Potatoes are declared to be the
poorest crop of all the staples and
will run under a five year average.
The estimate is for 21,000,000 bush
els compared to 31,653,000 last year.
The apple crop is about three fourths
of the normal and the peach crop
l 1,0S0,000 bushels, a seventy five per
cent. crop. The pear crop is fig
ured at 35S,400 bushels, a -four
ffths crop"
The tobacco statement says pro-
duction will be 1872 pounds per
acre and a total yield of 56,444, 600
pounds against 81, 900 last year,
Lancaster leading. York ranks sec

their utmost to prevent spread of
forest fires. Comparatively few
fires of any extent have occurred this
fall, but the conditions are favor
able for serious fires in many of
the wooded districts. The State
Forest Fire Service has been ex-
planded in cooperation with people
in charge of large tracts of corpor-
alton and private timber.
According to State Game Com
mission reports there have been
large issues of hunters licenses and

usually numerous in some sections
of the state where they were al
most unknown ten years ago.

progress with their work in spite

Let the careful mother reflect on

have been none, she might with
profit read the daily papers, then
turn them over to her daughters.

HARRISBURG aaNa TELEGRAPH

In the worlds history when the
presence of the despised chaperon
is required, it is these days when
nothing appears in it's true proper
tions.
AS far as the soldier boys are
concerned, it is only too often a
case of "the female of the species
is more deadly than the male"
Sammy would be content to go his
way if the girl did not so often
block it with her smiling attentions.

the unusually crowded conditions
resulted in a group, chiefly stran-
gers, sitting at the same table. |

especially interested. Perhaps he
had just said goodbye to some one
in whom he was deeply interested.
The girls continued their talk, they
asked If he knew any one in town;
he said he did not, and they finally
asked him to take them to a dance
that evening.
The address they gave was in an
excellent neighborhood, and later,
through a curious succession of cir
cumstances, l discovered that both
girls were highly respectable and
belonged to good families. l don't

Girls of the giggling age invade
the movies, in troops, with never
sign of an older person to exercise
the least restraint on the innocent
but challenging merriment. Before
realizing 1t they are swept away on
some current of artificial stimula-
tion that seems to be everywhere
these days, stimulation that results
in tender emotions and the letting
down of old barriers.
Everyone is keyed up to the high
est pitch, and any Undertaking as
sumes the halo of a beautiful adj

the attention of a good-looking boy
in uniform. Completely absorbed
in his newspaper, he was unaware
of them. They stared, glggled and
talked loudly of things they i'm
agined would interest him-but he
kept on reading.
Finally, when he paused long
enough to turn the page, one OF
the girls said: Soldier boy, don't
you think it rude to read a paper
when ladies are PRESENT."
He smiled rather gravely, put the
paper aside and the girls opened a
barrage of small talk. He was DO

WALSH TO REPRESENT $50
OHIO "C0NDUCT0RETTES"

The $50 "conductorettes' OF CIeve-
land, Ohio, who were discharged by
the traction companies following a
strike OF the men who protested
against their employment, will be
represented by Frank P. Walsh before
the National War Labor Board at the
final hearing of the case. The
women were discharged following a
Recommendation OF the board.
The "conductorettes" base their
motion on the contention that the
Recommendation of the board for their
dismissal was not a finding or a
decision: that the men struck in vio-
lstion OF an introductory order of
the board, as did the board itself in
Recommending the dismissal as a
means of ending the strike, and that
the women have never had a hearing
on the merits of the case.
