State Feels Quite Pert With
Coolidge in White House,
Verses Declare.

In this day of long and windy an
nual reports, the report of the State
regent of Vermont to the D. A. r.
Congress yesterday was considered re-
freShing, to say the least. The dele
gates thought so, too, and Mrs.
Horace Martin Farnham, who read
the report, received a lot of applause.
Reports i'm Rhyme.
Mrs. Farnham carried in her arms
a large bouquet of pink roses from
the President and Mrs. Coolidge.
The poetical report was as follows:

LANCASTER COUNTY HEAVY
LOOSER BY BARNS
BURNED
BURNED

Lancaster County, Pa, is shown to
have been the heaviest sufferer from
barn fires in the two years records
of such fires worked out by the
State Bureau of Fire Protection.
Figures assembled by Mayor Will
held, the chief, show Lancaster
County lost fifty-one barns by fire
in 1928 and forty-five last year. In
the same periods Chester lost
thirty-eight in the first year and
twenty-seven in 1928. while Bucks
lost forty-one and thirty-four re-
specively. Berks' loss was twenty
five and twenty-eight, and York,
thirty-nine and twenty-eight.
In the western end of the State,
Crawford was the heaviest loser
there, being twenty-six in 1923 and
nineteen last year. The most re
markable drop in number of fires
was in the northern tier where
Bradford, Susquehanna and Tioga
cash had over twenty barns burned
in 1928, but last year only twenty.
one between them.
Major Wilhelm says while the
number of barns burned fell from
776 in 1928 to SAG last year, or
"over one for every time the sup
sets, we are not making the progress
possible in meeting such fires
He calculates the average daily
loss from barn fires in the State has
been around $4,000 a day and says
with careful investigation of in.
cendiary fires, just more than the
usual care in acknowledging
and elimination Of spontaneous com
hustion in mows by heat measure
ment of crops we will be able to
reduce this number of fires to at
least one day."

MARYLAND EGG LAYING
CONTEST

Maryland poultry raiser still have
time to enter fowls in the Maryland
State Egg Laying Contest which
will begin at the University OF Mary
land with the first egg produced on
the morning of November l, accord
ing to Roy H. Waite, contest
supervisor.
Entries from out-of-State breed
ers, however, are coming in rapidly
it is said, and under the rules OF the
contest some of the restrictions are
off, so that from now on breeders
will be permitted to enter more tnan
one pen in the competition. The
necessity for quick action on the
part of Maryland breeders is there
fore apparent, it is pointed out.
Entries thus far have been ac-
cepted from Maryland, New YORK
Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania
Michigan, Connecticut and Massa.
chusetts. cit is rather significant
saws Mr.. Waite, ''that entries are
coming in most rapidly from those
states where egg laying contests
have already been conducted ano
where breeders have discovered the
benefits of such competitions. +"
Five entries have been received
from the State of Michigan alone
two of them from the Michigan
State College where an egg laying
contest has been in progress for
number of wears. AS the head O.
poultry department at the Michigan
State College has written for more
entry blanks, it is possible that more
Michigan breeders will send pens to
the contest.
The contest affords Maryland
breeders the best possible oppor-
tunity to get line on the laying
ability of their fowls, according to
Mr.. Waite, and winning pen, a
high pen for the breed, a high hen
or even a better than average laying
record will be big advertisement
for the breeder. The man with the
high pen, or the best laying hen, is
in position to sell all the stock he
can raise at good price.
Selecting suitable birds for the
contest is not SO much a matter OF
genius as the use of little common
sense and good INDIGNANT cave Mr.
Waite. Vigorous, thrifty pullets
that have matured early and at the
same time made good weight fol-
the strain are the most likely pros.
poets. The smaller, nervous pullets
may lay better for a time, but it is
the experience in contests in gen.
eral that these birds do not hold .ur
over long grind.

With the utilization of much
dying and recently killed chestnut
timber, the Bureau of Entomology
of the United States Department of
Agriculture has received a number
of inquiries as to whether timber
killed by the chestnut blight is safe
to use. The bureau states that
borers infesting a living tree soon
die after the tree is felled, and
where sound, wormy chestnut timber
is used for the cores of veneer,
worms emerging from the veneer do
not come from the sound though
worm eaten chestnut but from the
hardwood veneer itself The injury
is caused by Lyctus powder-post
beetles, which lay their eggs in the
pores of the sapwood of many
species of hardwood, but will not
attack chestnut. The knowledge of
this fact has recently averted sew
eral lawsuits.

How the humble peanut is closely
allied with American history is told
in the United States Department of
Agriculture educational film, pea
nuts-$30,000,0O0 Worth"
This vegetable, which is not
actually nut but ground pea, is a
native South American plant and
found its way to North America by
way of Africa as food for prisoners
on board slave ships in early
Colonial days. Up to the time of
the war between the States the
plant was neglected by the southern
planters and was grown mainly in
small patches by the slaves. During
the war Union soldiers foraging for
food came upon the "goober pea
and found it palatable and nourish-
ing. After Appomattox many of
them carried the pods home with
them, and the peanut won i'm
mediate favor in the North, and it's
culture has undergone great develop
ment in the South.
