It is estimated that there are 24,000
silos in Pennsylvania and the average
capacity of each is 65 tone,
Reports on the harvesting of the po-
tato crop indicate that the yield is
much smaller than was anticipated in
many counties, few tubers growing to
the stalk.
Estimates place the Pennsylvania
apple crop at about two million bush-
els less than last year. The peach
crop is much larger than a year ago.
It is estimated that the pesr crop in
the Btate will be about 447,000 bushels,
" This is about 50,000 bushels less than
Inst year,
Pennsylvania canners have contrac.
ted for the crops of 5,200 acres of corn,
834 acres of peas, 2,157 acres of toma-
toes and 296 acres of sua" beans,
October and November seem to be
the popular months for the farmers to
diapoee of their products as statistics
show a disposition of 15.6 per cent, in
Dotobut and 15.7 per cent, in Novem~
% Nearly two hundred familids, coming

WATOH YOUR CHILDREN,

missioner of Mealth,
,Bechool days sre here, For weeks
our children have been scattered in
their respective bomes and in mary
cases living in the open air. Now the
days are here when they begin to cor-
gregate together at the echool houses
efid often under bad sanitary
ditions,
This is the season that weighs
heavily ubon the conscientious health
officer. Experience has taught him
infallibly that the congregating of the
sick and the well will sgaln cauee the
anousal increase of children’s dieeaser,
Increased deaths will occur in spite of
all that can be done by the Health De-
partment in conjunction with our ed-
ucators to safeguard the health of our
children,
This work to Inpcresese safeguards
over the health and lives of our chil-
dren is only in its infancy, Until it is
fall grown we must appeal to the par-
ents and guardians of the children fo
help us. We all love our children and
would sacrifice our lives to save theirs,
yet we do not make sufficient study cf
how to care for them,
The firet thought in the morniog
should be the child, We should not
content curselves with greeling our
sons and daughters with au Impulsive
and aflectionate kiss and hug, acd
then rush to other duties that the Uay
has brought with it. Iostead, the
fire’ duty is to tarry with the child
sufficiently long to determine whether
or not it seems well, Without letting
the child appreciate that there is a sue
plelon of iis belong sick, gel to see Lhe
tongue, notice how it swallows, look
for any spots or rash on the skip, for
congested eyes, for a hot skie, for
want of ususl good cheer,
If the child shows any indication of
sickness it should pot be permitied to
associate with the other children ir
the house, and under no circumstances
should it be permitted to go to schoo’.
Its life is first, education second.
While it does pot do to be pessimic-
tie, it is better to consider any sign of
filness the possible forerunner of some
one of the diseases Lhat children are
#0 susceptible to.
For the child's sake .t should be
kept awsy from other chlidren, ss hae
been suggested, and unless the con
dition clesrs up in a very short time
medical aid should be called in. A
stitch io time saves nine. Euch pre-

theria or other communicable disease,

great nut production. There was until
recently no system for planting these
trees, as plantations were usually sold
after the trees were two or three years
old. The object was to get as many
trees on a given area as was possible
to grow. These plantations were then

quality of fruit they should, more
pains were taken In the planting and
some definite planting scheme adhered
