erations, with accretions here and
there, every generation adding a
little, but each generation likely to
confuse and wrongly apply what it
had inherited from the preceding
generation. Some of it's results
may have been wrong, because men
failed to remember accurately or
to apply properly wha, their grand
fathers had told them or what they
had learned for themselves, but,
on the whole, it doubtless has
worked beneficially, and now a be-
ginning is made toward converting
it into an exact science.
Practical With Hessian Fly
The Hessian fly may be said to
have started it all. Its depreda-
tions were such that it was neces-
sary to SOW wheat so late that the
Hessian fly would not ruin it and
yet early enough that it would get
start before very cold weather.
The rule was laid down that the
season, in general, varies four days
for each 1 degree of latitude, 3 de-
grees of longitude, and 400 feet of
altitude. That is perfectly good,
workable rule. But since no two
seasons are just the same, the date
that is right this year may not be
right next year. :.. ed,
But the time for sowing winter
wheat has been determined upon
as the period between the time
when the tall late goldenrod is in
full bloom and the time when the
white common japanese clematis
flowers are nearly all gone or the
leaves are distinctly colored on the
dogwood and hickories. At least,
that is the verdict of DR.. A. D.
Hopkins, the scientist of the De-
partment of Agriculture.
Applying the New Science
And that is what the application
of the science of phenology to ag-
riculture will be when it is worked
out-a definite something in ma
ture that will indicate the right
time for doing a definite thing in
the farm operations. 1t will be
rather a slow process. DR.. Hop
kins has worked out forms for
gathering index material on prac-
tically all trees, shrubs, and plants,
annual and perennial, wild and
cultivated, with regard to the
various crops. In the course of
years qualified agricultural experts
will gather and systematic the
data.
In the meantime-well, any in
dividual farmer may have some of
his natural phenomenon indices
wrong, but he is likely to have a
good many of them right. If he
will use his own powers of observa-
tion and his own judgment, he can
correct them for himself from time
to time. Any intelligent farmer
who will take the trouble can work
out a pretty good system for him.
self. And the Department of Agri-
culture will be able to give him
more and more aid from year to
year.

No Fuss and Feathers
For George Washington,
Who Quietly Rests at Home

George Washington quietly oele-
brated his birthday at his home in
Cumberland street to-day. There
was no fuss and no parade, and, as
far as George was concerned, the
banks did not close on his account,
neither did the statesmen at Wash
ington .declaim on the greatness of
his personality, nor did the Idaho
Senator, Mr.. Borah, look toward
Harrisburg as he said certain male
VIOLENT sayings concerning President
Wilson and his League of Nations.
There is but one George Washington
in Mr.. Boyd's Harrisburg directory
and he is the George whose resi-
dence is given as 1926 Cumberland
street being located east of the
Pennsylvania railroad tracks.
Georges celebration was most
quiet affair Indeed. he spent the
day in preparing for the shock of
receiving his weekly wage, but 1t was
his birthday, nevertheless.

COUNTY TO GET
BIG REVENUE IN
INCREASED LEVY
Each Million Added Means
$500 TO Treasury; Per-
mits improvements

As the tax rate for 1919 has been
fixed by the County Commissioners,
the coal land assessment when it is
finally determined after the court
hearings will have no effect on the
levy this year. but may add much
money to the county treasury. The
length of time required to dispose
of the appeals to the court will de-
termine this question as the COM
panies will not pay taxes until the
assessed valuation is determined
finally.
At the present rate of four and
one-half mills each additional ST.
100000 in assessed valuation of
county property will add $4,000 to
the county treasury. An increase of
SlO,00O,00O would add $4,000, of
S20,000,000 $4,000, of $50,OOO.0O0
S225.000 In taxes
That the county in the next few
years will he able to make a big
reduction in the tax rate and even
with the lower rate provide many
thousands of dollars for road and
bridge work. together with other
improvements, is expected
Officials have frequently pointed
to the lack of funds for much need
ed road and bridge work. Many of
the county bridges are antiuuated
structures, unsafe for heavy We
hicular traffic such as now passes
over them. Heavily loaded trucks
larger farm wagons and steadily in
creasing traffic is adding to the
strain and the urgent need for new
structures in many parts of the
county is apparent.
While much is spent for repair
work. such improvements as a new
bridge east of Humm elstown cross
ing the Swatara creek have been de-
layed because of the high prices for
labor and materials and the lack of
a sufficient fund to meet these adj
Vanced costs.
Road work met with similar de-
lay this year with an advance in
the assessment of other properties
of about $1G,0O0,000 only $4,000
Will be spent by the county for road
improvement.
In fixing the 1919 rate the County
Commissioners anticipated much on
position on the part of the local
companies to the assessment which
will be fixed, and only based the
rate on the valuations as returned
to them by the assessors. Next
year. however. with a big increase in
valuations, the rate. can easily be
lowered, it is believed.
Other counties have taken similar
action with q big increase in valua-
tions, as a high tax rate is no longer
necessary with every property. in
the county equitably and fairly as
sessed for tax purposes.
