BUMPER CROPS IN
PENN SYLVANIA

Harrisburg, Pa.-With bumper oats
and apple crops indicated and with
other field crops well up to the five
year average, the farms Of Pennsyl-
yania, during the season now being
brought to close produced millions
more wealth than was believed poss-
ible during July and early August.
This great increase in the farm yield
is indicated in the crop reports Of the
Pennsylvania Department Of Agricul-
ture, prepared under the direction of
L. H. While, head of the Bureau of
Statistics.
The apple crop this year in Penn
sylyania will be more than two and a
half times as great as the crop Of 1919,
while reports show that despite the
unusually wet weather Of the late sum
mer, the States immense crop Of oats
was harvested with but little loss.
The oats crop will be more than six
million bushels greater than for the
five year average.
The average yield of wheat per acre
in the State for this year was III
bushels, as against 178 bushels for
the last year and a ten year average
of 1871 bushels. The quality Of the
wheat this year is better than in 1919,
however, the quality being estimated
at 95 per cent as against 81 per cent
for last year.
The reports show that the average
price received by farmers in the State
for their peach, pear and plum crops
this year was less than in 1913. The
average price received for peaches in
in 1920 was s255 per bushel as against
1926 in 1919; pears, $3.50 per bushel
in 1919 as against 1926 in 1919 and
plums 1926 bushel in 1920 against
$500 in 1920.

THE MARKET MILK BUSINESS
IN NEW JERSEY
By PAUL B. BENNETCH

The increased cost Of foods to the
millions of people in our cities has
within the past few years attracted
a great deal of attention and is today
one of the most vital economic ques-
tions confronting us.
Various attacks have been made on
the dairy industry, both producer and
dealer, in this and other States during
the last few years which have resulted
in a lack of confidence in this impor-
tant industry on the part OF the con-
sumer. There have been numerous
public investigations in different parts
of the country on the costs Of pro-
duction and distribution and the in
efficiencies of the industry, and almost
as many conclusions reached as to
the remedy or remedies which should
be applied to effect necessary econ
omies which would insure a cheaper
milk supply
In the meantime milk prices have
increased because Of the increased
cost of production and distribution, al
though not so much as the prices OF
MANY other necessary commodities,
and consumption in some Of our cities
has fallen off almost to the danger
point.
The Food Value of Milk-Milk is
one of our most important foods, and
has recently been proven by noted
scientists like DIT. E. V. McCollum of
Johns Hopkins University to be alb
solutely essential to the proper growth
and development Of children. The
present expenditure is estimated to
be about 20 per cent of the expendi
ture of all food, and according tc
various scientists this proportion
should be increased to A per cent il
the interest Of both health and econ
omy. The great value Of milk and its
products in the diet emphasizes great
" the economic problems involved If
the production and distribution Of
these prducts The public has beer
unable to understand all the factors
which have been responsible for in
creases in the price Of milk from 6 tc
8 cents per quart before the war tt
the present price levels, and have usu
ally met every price increase with q
complaint or a reduction in consump
ton, or both, until today there is q
pretty general underconsumption Of
this important food product. The pei
capita consumption of milk in the
cities of this State today is reported
by municipal health officers does not

HIGHER PRICES FOR
FERTILIZERS

The retail prices charged for the
various brands Of fertilizers for fall
use, judging from the fall inspection
being made by the Bureau of Chem
istry, Pennsylvania Department Of
Agriculture, are higher than those pre-
vailing for the spring fertilizers. The
prices charged for Is per cent acid
phosphate range from $50 to "a ton.
The prices charged for complete fer
tilizers, 2-8-2 grade, range from s45 to
$3.50 ton; 1872 grade, from $685.
to s43 a ton; 2-10-4 grade, from s58 to
$50 ton; and 1871 grade, from $40
to SAB a ton. Other grades of ferti-
lizers show similar increase and var
iations for brands containing the same
amount of plant food. AS near as 1t
can be estimated at this time the pre-
vailing fall retail prices for ammonia
are approximately $40 per unit, avail
able phosphoric acid 50 per unit, and
potash 81 per unit, which show an in
crease of $500, 50 cents and 800, re-
spectively, for these forms Of plant
food, as supplied by the several brands
of fertilizers sold for fall use.

$4,000 Kiss at
Club Settled for $500

San Francisco, Cal.-Along with
sugar and Fords. the price OF kisses
has Topped. A kiss valued at $4,000
a few months ago was recently or
dered sold" for $500.
And it was "cornfed" kiss at that.

maid at the Pacific Union Club, where
she was known among the other SER
wants as "Cornfed" because of her he
roic proportions, which would have
shamed Venus and made Juno look

Moore for 10th of the amount.
The $500 kiss (marked down from
100000 will go down in history as
one of the most famous of osculatry
incidents in the history of San Fran
cisco clubdom. Sitting in solemn con-
clave, the Board of Directors of the
Pacific Union asked for and accepted
Moore's resignation few hours after
the kissed maids charges against the
wealthy club member became public
property.
Miss Wurtenburg asserted that
Moore seized her while she was clean
ing out his bathroom and forcibly i'm
printed a cavemanlike kiss full upon
her innocent, if voluptuous mouth
An answer denying the allegations
was filed, but meantime the high cost
of kisses fell about a thousand
notches. 1t became cheaper to settle
at the low market price than to go
on with the suit. Besides, who knows
when the price of kisses will soar
again?

gloves have four-row combination

short cape and suede gloves are cut
in mannish style with the spearpoint
and four-row combination backs. The

desirable. In the French glace gloves

come in black and white and are

The softened grace of the dropped
wrap or the small simplicity of the
straight lined coats will give any wo-
man who wears them the secured feel

can say that there is any more salts

saw down town during my wanderings
have a style and distinction that place
them in the highest level of fall mod

There are two straight-line belted
styles and a few on wrappy lines;
they are Of wool velour. Each one has
some distinctive touch like the novel

Then there were wraps and coats made
of soft silyertip bolivia and bolivia.
All these have large, stunning fur

The wrap coat, because Of its grace,
its smartness and its comfort, has
won for itself definite place in the
world of fashion. It is not an idle
fancy, it is an established fashion.
Some have just the suggestion of

To Europe for
Forestry

Syracuse, y. Y.-Prof. Nelson Cort-
land Brown. of the faculty of the New
York State College of Forestry at
Syracuse, has gone to Europe for
special consultation on forestry prob
lens with the new Czecho-S lovak re
public, chiefly regarding the DISPOSE
ton or management of the Hapsburg
crown lands, which reverted to the
new republic when the ancient Austro-
Hungarian monarchy fell. Prof Brown
is on leave from the College of For
estry, while serving as a speciol trade
commissioner for the government.
His trip to Europe is hurried one,
to last only four to six weeks, but
may result in the calling in of Ameri-
can experts TO supervise and manage
the forest lands of the republic. There
is an enormous acreage involved,
totaling 100000 acres, nearly all
forest, and most of it crown lands.
The tracts have been studied by local
and French foresters but the new re-
public decided it needed American adj
vice and the Syracuse man was chosen
chiefly as a result of his work for the
government in investigating European
trade resources. The trip to Europe
will be by special train, with the son
of President Masyrak acting as host.
Several American experts in other
fields are in the party to consult with
the heads of the new government.

tory has been based upon market con-
ditions, taking into consideration sup

The comparative cost of farming
with horses and with tractors and
trucks is shown by a recent govern
ment report citing the case of a former
who replaced ten teams with two trac-
tors and one truck. The cost of oper-
ating and maintaining the horse drawn
equipment for a year amounted TO
$1,000 while the cost of the motor
equipment totaled 1882, nearly a
$4,000 saving.

their camp fires is getting to be an ex-
pensive mistake. Forest guards are
constantly on watch and if neglected

him arrested. Alibis are useless and
the tourist rarely escapes without
paying fines and costs aggregating
close to 800.
