The most, gratifying portion of the report to Secretary Fred Rasmussen is that which deals with the yield per acre.

This year the average yield per acre throughout the State amounted to 110 bushels, as compared with 87 bushels last year. it is believed that the certification of seed potatoes in Pennsylvania and the campaign for greater care in selection of all seed stock is largely responsible for this increased yield. Lehigh county again heads the counties in the total yield, while Philadelphia county leads in the yield per acre. York county is the second largest county in production, with Berks, Erie, Lancaster and Potter county all in the million bushel class.

Parker, of Louisiana, who is just now having some trouble of his own, is recalled by quite a few Harrlsburg people as one of the Governors attending the conference of Governors at the State Capitol just about two years ago.

He took quite an active part in the discussions and developed some ideas of protection quite startling one from Louisiana. Secretary of Agriculture Fred Rasmussen has been named on the executive committee of the World's Dairy Congress which meets in this country next LONG DROUGHT MAY CAUSE DEATH TO PLANTAIN WINTER The long drouth this fall may cause the death of hundreds of hardy plants during the winter unless special precautions are taken before the ground freezes. This is the warning issued by the Harrlsburg Natural History Society to day. Ordinarily nature takes care of the hardy winter plants before the ground freezes by providing plenty moisture for them to feed upon, before the ground freezes. This year the moisture has not been provided and unless this class of plants is well watered before the ground freezes many of them will be winter killed.

The society is also asking special care in the way outdoor plants are protected during the winter. There is an erroneous impression the protection should keep the cold out. Instead the covering of straw should not be placed until after the ground is frozen. The purpose of the. protection is to keep the frost in so that the plants will not begin developing too early in the spring.

The plants to be protected and the ground around them should not be covered until after the ground is frozen if winter killing is to be avoided. TWO BARNS BURN AS AUTO BACK FIRES IN LINGLESTOWN Back firing of an engine in an automobile was said to day to have caused the $4,000 fire in Linglestown last night that totally destroyed two automobiles seventy five chickens and a quantity of farm produce. An automobile belonging to Brooke George was being backed into a barn owned by Miss Carrie Feeser, when the engine back fired causing an explosion. The two story frame building was quickly destroyed. Another automobile and thirty bushels of corn in the barn were The flames spread across the road to the barn of Austin Shaner, destroying the building, seventy five chickens, a quantity of corn, and wood.

Immediately after the blaze was discovered, bucket brigades were formed, but the flames soon got beyond control of the fire fighters. A call was sent the Penbrook fire company, but as soon as small quantities of water remaining in a half dozen nearby wells was exhausted, the firemen were helpless. A call had also been sent to this city for help, and Chief Marion Verbeke with the Mount Pleasant and Friendship companies responded. The local men were unable to give assistance, however, due to the lack of water. The efforts of firemen were then confined to protecting nearby buildings from the sparks.

NEW BOND ISSUE NOW LOOKED FOR William H. Cornell's Speech Has Interesting Meaning For Capitol Hill The fact that William H. Connell, who made the survey of the State Highway Department for Gifford pinchot, suggested bond issues for highway building in an address be fore the Engineers Club in, Phila delphia last night, has caused Capitol Hill to look for a series of road bond issues for that purpose in the next administration. A measure for a new $60,000,000 amendment is to come before the next session. "The first road bond issue could be floated in 1925," said Mr.
