The Sesquicentennial Council
Governors, comprising chief excel

which Honorable Clifford Pinchot,
Governor of Pennsylvania, is Presi-y

to the National Commission to the
Sesauicentennial Exposition, COM

The Exposition celebrating the
10th anniversary Of the Declaration
of Indepdence viii positively be
completed and opened June /, 1926,
and continue until December 1,

square feet of exhibit space already
have been reserved in the vast ex-
hibits buildings by. leading Industrial
and other concerns in this country

Colonel D. c. Collier, Director

is the Philadelphia Navy Yard, the
largest in the country, where there
are now one hundred and fifty war

Bell; the Betsy Ross House, where
the first flag was made; Carpenters

APPLE OUTLOOK IN FOUR
CTATEC

: Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia
and West Virginia orchards taken as
a whole have a prospect this year of
a total apple crop equal to 19,4S9,-
900 bushels, which compares with
81 100000 harvested last year, and
27,311,000 bushels-the 5-year aver
age (1920-1924) of harvests in that
combination Of States, according to
information furnished by growers to
the United States Department of
Agriculture, says John S. Dennee,
Federal agricultural statistician for
Maryland. Virginia's output this
season will be less than half what it
was last year.
Apples to move into consuming
channels from this lot of States viii
total $4,000 barrels against
4.354,00O last year, about 81 per
cent less, and 16 per cent less than
the 6-year average, says the
Statistician.
The season has been unfavorable
to apples. Growing condition as re-
ported ranges from 10 to % per cent
below the 1O-year average of condi-
ton on September /, excepting in
Pennsylvania the commercial crop
is reported IL per cent better than
the State crop, which is. given at 3S
per cent Of a full crop.
Maryland will make about 1885,
600 bushels, an average crop. Last
year 1,749,00O bushels were har-
vested. About $4,000 barrels are
expected to make the commercial
crop. Last year $4,000 barrels
were used commercially; and the
5-year average (192O-1924) is
$4,000 barrels.

LANCASTER COUNTY'S NEW
HIGHWAY

A correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Inquirer, from Lower Lancas-
ter county, Pa, contributes the fol-
lowing concerning the new highway
traversing his section:
The new highway traverses a
beautiful country that has suffered
long and patiently for the lack OF
roads, and the building of the route
means great development throughout
the Lower End, for it brings that
important section of the county with
in an hour of the county seat, and
the City of Baltimore, within 80
minutes of our gates. With the Ma
tional Capital within such easy ac-
cess we are apt to have a crop OF
Congressional aspirants, since our
member may be able to serve in
Washington and board at home.
The new highway was built by W..
Grant Raub, of Red Lion, York
County. Work was started April
%, and completed August 20. With
splendid organization, up-to-date
equipment and personal supervision
by himself and son, Paul Raub,
there never was ''let up" save for
rain or strom and the work moved
smoothly at all times. While the
road will be thrown open for travel
about September 20 it will be for
mally opened October 10 with a fit
ting celebration of the greatest local
improvement the Lower End has had
in many years.
In addition to this concrete high
way, the State last fall completed a
macadam highway paralleling it from
Unicorn to Jenkins Corner, which
is about mile to the north of the
Mason and Dixon line. This road
traverses Little Britain and part of
Fulton Township by way of Fair
mount, Little Britain and Wrights-
dale. People travelling from the
south or north have choice of
routes and it will be interesting to
note the preponderance of travel.
and which road will become the
favorite route.

BANNER CORN CROP IN NARY
LAND THIS YEAR

Maryland farmers have a fat
chance of averaging not less tina Al
bushels of corn to the acre this
season, says John S. Dennee, Fed
eral agricultural statistician for
Maryland. Only once before in
ffifty-nine years, according to the
Statfsticfan, and that was in 1919,
has Maryland averaged SO high
corn yield. Careful seed selection
at planting time and good weather
for field work during the cultural
period are given as the outstanding
reasons for the big success of the
crop.
Production, based on September /
condition as reported to the Crop
Reporting. Board Of the United
States Department of Agriculture, is
estimated at 26,63O,O00 bushels
against 1S,53S,O0O last season, and
2S,s26,0O0 bushels, the average Of
harvests during the preceding five
years { 1920-1924.) The 1925 crop
at current prices has an estimated
farm value of $32,222,OOO. Much
of Maryland's corn is consumed on
the farms where produced, or
marketed on the hoof." The 1924
harvest was 100000 bushels less
than the 1925 crop and was esti-
mated to be worth $2O.577,000 at
the farm gate.

selected. Then either a department
specialist from the college or the
county agent gets in personal touch
with the banker to assist him In an
advisory capacity.
Samples Of the project outlines are
given below to illustrate the details
Of the procedure the college takes In
accomplishing its plan.

agent list of the banks and the prof..
ects in which each is interested Is
sent to him with request that he get

ing him project outlines and inform
ing him that the county agent or a
