Harrisburg, Sept. 30.-General w.
W. Attcrbury. vice president in charge
of operation Of the Pennsylvania Rail
road system, addressing the members Of
the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce
at luncheon yesterday, discussed the
railroad situation.
The transportation act" he said,

lation regarding RAILROADS ever passed
In this country; and. with the possible
exception Of the Federal Reserve act,
1t is probably the most important eco

The governments guarantee expired
on September 1. and all railroads in
the country are now absolutely depend
ent fer. their prosperity and solvepcy
upon what they can actually earn out
OF the rates fixed by the Interstate
Commerce Commission and with the
traffic which may now offer.

the temporary one which expired Sep

act regarding the making Of rates have
any relation whatever to the amount Of
stock or other securities issued"
MIR. Atterbury said that the Interstate
Commerce Commission fixed rates under
which the railroads are left to compete
with each other and to sink or swim as
best they may.
1T is the express purpose Of the
transportation act to retain competition
and the spirit of enterprise which it
engendcrs." he continued.
There is no coddling of the railroads
in the transportation act. There are no
charities or subsidies. There are no
comforting guarantees for weary or dis

SLIPS BY FAMOUS AUTHORS
Humorous to Record, but Detract LII
Ito From the Stories n
They Are Read.

The British minister Of education
points out some mistakes that he has
come across in books. One Of them
runs through "Ivanhoe." where the
Normans and Saxons are represented
az two distinct races. The fact Is that
at the time with which the story deals
marriage between the two races had
gone so far that Norman could hardly
be told from Saxon; but Sir Walter
Scott did not realize this until the story
was set up In type. and so the famous
novel appears with this blunder right
through 1t. Another mistake was made
by Mrs. Humphry Ward. who In one
Of her books made two people take
chairs In Kensington gardens in the
first week in October. though all chairs
are removed from the gardens on Sep
tember 30. Charles Kingsley makes
John "Brumhlecome" recite a prayer
from the prayer book long before the
time the prayer was put in; the poet
Pope makes weasel eat corn. which a
weasel never does; and likewise In
"Don Quixote" the merry Cervantes
makes one Of his parties at a tavern
eat two suppers in one night. The life
Of novelist Is full Of trouble, but such
little things do not seem to matter
greatly. We would rather have the

COMMERCIAL ACREAGE
OF VEGETABLE CROPS
Compared With Last Year Mark
ed Reduction Is Shown.
Estimates Based on Reports Received
From Seed Growcrs-Increase Is
Indicated for Sugar Beet and
Garden Peas.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
The prospective commercial acreage
of vegetable-seed crops for 1920. com
pared with last year, shows marked
reductions in the acreage reported for
dwarf snap beans, all beet, carrot, let
tuce. onion seed, radlsh, spinach. sweet
corn. and tomato seed, while a slightly
increased acreage Is reported for gar
den pole beans, cucumber, muskmelon,
watermelon, parsley, pepper, pump
kin, and Swede turnip seed
These estimates are based on re-
ports received by the bureau of mar
kets, early in April from commercial
vegetable-seed growers and are as ac-
curate and complete as 1t was possible
to obtain at that time.
The estimated prospective produc-
ton for 1920 computed on the basis
of the acreage reported and the av-
erage yield per acre for the four-year
period 1916-19l9). compared with that
for 1919, Is about 80 per cent less for
sweet corn and English turnip; so per
cent less for dwarf snap beans. celery,
parsnip, and squash 60 per cent less
for cabbage and radish; and about
so per cent less for garden and mangeI
beet. carrot, onion seed. and spinach;
while nm increase Is indicated Of 20
per cent for sugar beet and garden
peas and so per cent for onion sets
The estimated acreage and prospect
i've production for 1920 are more COM
parable with those for 1917. and the re-
ductions In acreage and production as
noted should not be taken as an indica.
ton that the vegetable-seed growing
industry In this country is on the de-
cline from that of prewar years.

by the horses and the men can handle
about 30 per cent more hay.
Save Labor on the Stack
The push rake furnishes the most
economical method of hauling hay to
the stack, barn, or hay press If the
distance is not much more than one
fourth Of a mile. One man, or boy,
with a good push rake and a team
used to the work will handle three
times as much hay as two men with
small rack on a high wheeled wagon.
Stacking hay with push rake and
an overshOt stacker mounted on
wheels eliminates nearly all Of the
back-breaking work of the old pitch
fork method With a yield of one to
one and half tons to the acre, two
men on the stack can easily handle all
the hay brought In by three push
rakes, accomplishing a vast saving In
labor and hay over the pltchfork
method. Another method not so good
but still vastly better than the pitch
fork method Is stacker equipment
with double harpoon fork. The out
fit can be made at home and will cost
very little compared with the labor 1t
saves, but harder work is necessary
to get the hay on the stack than with
the overshot stacker.
When hay is to be baIed from the
field, one man By working in the after
noon, can round up enough hay which
has been punched by push rakes to
keep the press going next morning I'M
til the dew is gone from the hay in the
windrow. When the hay Is not thus
rounded up the crew will lose two
hours or more on mornings when
there is a heavy dew.
Careessness In setting the press
may result in loss of labor. When the
press is properly set two men can get
plenty of hay to 1t from the stack.

The Philadelphia Fourth OF July
celebration of 1777 was public dem
onstratiOn, planned in advance. For
tunately we have short contemporary
account OF what took place. The
Pennsylvania Gazette, published week
ly by John Dunlap. tells in Its issue
OF July 8. 1777. of this first of long
line Of Independence day celebrations.
Here Is the full account:
FRIDAY, the fourth instant, being
the anniversary Of the independence
of America, was celebrated In this
city with demonstrations Of Joy and
festivity.
About noon, all the armed ships
and galleys In the river were drawn
up before the city, dressed In the gay
est manner, with the colors OF the
United States and streamers displayed.
At l o'clock the yards being properly
manned, they began the celebration
of the day by discharge of thirteen
cannon from each Of the galleys in
honor Of the thirteen United States
I'm the afternoon an elegant dinner
was prepared for congress, to which
were invited the president and su-
preme executive council and speaker
Of the assembly Of this state, the gen.
eral officers and colonies of the army
and the members of the several con-
tinental boards who were In town.
"The Hessian band Of music taken
cember last attended and heightened
the festivity with some fine perform
ances suited to the joyous occasion,
while a corps of British deserters
taken into the service of the CONT
nent by the State Of Georgia, being
drawn up before the door, filed up
the intervals with feux de joie.
AFTER dinner a number Of tonsts
were drunk, all breathing indeperd-
ence and genuine love of liberty n.d
commemorative the memories of those
brave and worthy patriots who gal
lantly exposed their lives and fell glori-
ously in defense of freedom and the
righteous cause Of their country
Each toast was followed by dis
charge Of artillery and small arms
and a suitable piece Of music by the
Hesslan band. The glorious Fourth
OF July was reiterated three times,
accompanied with triple discharges Of
cannon and small arms
Toward evening several troops of
horse and corps Of artillery and a
brigade Of North Carolina forces which
was In town on its way to Join the
grand army were drawn up In Sec
ond street and reviewed by congress
and the general officers.
1.-The evening was closed with the
ringing of bells and at night there
was a grand exhibition Of fireworks,
which began and concluded with thir-
teen rockets ON the common, and the
city was beautifully Illuminated.
Everything was conducted with the
greatest order and decorum and the
face of Joy and gladness was uni
versal.
Thus may the Fourth Of July, that
glorious and ever-memorable day, be
celebrated through America by the
hosts of freedom from age to age till
time shall be no more. Amen and
amen
