Coin is growing finely, with some rather peer iiulds. The hay crop is mueh better th.tu was expected earlier in the season and m ii.tt it lacks in quantity it makes up in qi.ality. The eats is the best we have had tot several years, the heads being heavy ami well lillml and the straw as tall as wheat. Clever is a partial failure, Iho grasshepjicr and the army worm bein destructive. Then) arc prespcuta of a geed potato crop, tobacco is irregular some plants being almost leady te top and etners narciy stalled growing. Jle has some in a let in Litit.with leaves 2'J inches long and 15 wide. The apples arc drop ping oil and there will net be mere than half a crop. . There are no peaches, a full crop of icrs, an average crop of grapes, and au abundance of small fruits. Henry Kurtz, of Mount Jey, lcnerted the wheat as net very geed ; the tobacco very uneven in size, many of the plants being sickly-looking. Fears that the early-planted lields will net be of mueh account, as they appear te be affected with black root. The hay ereji yielded belter than was expected and the corn leeks well. Levi '3. Ueist, of Oregon, is persuaded that Lancaster county is no longer a geed location for the growing of wheat and especially of the Fultz variety. New Yerk and Ohie appear te be much better adapted te its growth. Muring a recent visit through these slates he found the Clausen and Fultz wheat looking verv well ami would yield, say, '5 or SO bushels per acre, but here the yield will average much less. The pear blossoms weie injured by a severe front about the isteiJUay, hence there will be a small crop. Of 30 varieties of apples in his orchard he regards Smith's Cider, Kcd streak and Shecpiiose varieties the best they are very full of fruit, while the King of Tompkins county has but little fruit atid of peer quality. The old Grindstone variety he regards as worthless. Casper Hiller, of Concstega, reported that he would have about hall a crop of apples. Most of his pear trees are ruined by the blight, but these that are healthy are lilled with fruit. The wheat is very irregular some yicldinir well and some IKwrly ; the grass crop is pretty geed, the wet weather of June having brought it out. M. 1). Keudig, of Maner, r. ported that in his neighborhood the whi.al was net as geed as the farmers expected, either in quality or quantity. The young clever, both that sewn hist fall anil this spring, is well stalled. There is about Haifa crop of hay say one ten per acre. The corn is growing very unevenly. There will be a fair apple crop, some jwars and very few peaches. The tobacco grows irregularly started well, but some of it does net srrew well. Last year's crop is nearly all sold the last lets going oil" at low prices. Henry M. Engle, of Marietta, thought the wheat would yield an average crop ami ei lair quality ; the hay crei) is mueh larger than was expected the fains hav ing brought it en finely. The eat is bet ter than for several years past, being ever live feet in height and well tilled. The corn is pretty fair, though a little irregu lar. Early potatoes are excellent better than for past years and then! is a fair prospect for a geed yield of late ones. Thcrewil! net be half a crop of apples, though some trees that did net bear last year are overloaded. The codling moth is bad, the potato beetle very bad, and the desfiuetive insects generally about as nu merous as usual, except the cabbage worm and caterpillar, which are net num erous. The rainfall for June was very heavy G 0-10 inches. In May it was only 2 '-lu. ' Canada Thistle.". Judge Win. Elimakcr being called upon related his experience in destroying the Canada thistle. He said that the late Win. Hiestcr owned a fifteen acre field which was entirely covered with it, and all attempts te eradicate it had failed, and the field became utterly worthless for any purpose. About fifteen years age Judge Elimakcr said, he became interested in the matter and themtht if the nrencr method were taken the thistle could be destroyed. His theory was that neither animal nor vegetable could live without breathing. Destroy the breathing apparatus aiul the uiim dies se will the plaut. As the leaves are the lungs or the plants, his first object was le destroy them. Se he plowed the field aud planted it in corn. The corn caine up anil se did the thistles the latter being six inches in height by the time the corn was thrce inches high. 1 te first shovel shevol shovol harrewed the field and then lie and a hired boy attacked the thistles with sharp hoes, lliey went ever the field, row hy row and cut down every thistle, being careful te cut them off two or three inches under the surface, se as te exclude the air as nuich as possible After the whole field had been gene evor, the operation was repeated, for the thistles had started te grew almost sis vigorously as before. He heed ever the field in this manner six several' times and the thistles as eftcu re appeared ; but he noticed that whereas at the first hoeing they came up as thick as his little finger, at the last hoeing they were scarcely thicker than knitting needles. He gave the field one mere careful hoeing, audthen noticed that he was receiving as sistance from an unexpected quarter ; tlie dying thistle was attacked by millions of ants. He waited till 'after harvest aud then till the following spring but saw no signs of the thistle. He plowed again for corn and turned up millions of thistle roots, seme of them six feet in length, but they were all dead. He planted his earn but thcre were no thistles. He had killed tlicm by destroying their breathing appa. ratus. and he would be willing te forfeit $100 if he cannot by his process destroy the Cauada thistle in any field within three mouths. On motion of Dr. Greene the thanks of the society were tcudcrad Judge Elimakcr for his valuable suggestions. T J. i'rank Lauilis, of East Lampeter, said he had seen in au agricultural paper a statement that deep plowing, frequently repeated, would kill the Cauada thistle. He tried the plan en half au acre that was covered with the thistle and succeeded in destroying them. KdlterH and Publisher Matte Members. Dr. C. A. Grccne offered the following resolution which was adopted : " Jlcselcul, That this society de unani mously agree te make all the publishers and editors of all the local papers iu this county honorary members of our society, aud that we shall be glad te sce tliem at our monthly meetings, and shall be verv thankful te them if they will publish the whole or condensed accounts of" our pro ceedings, essays, fcc., and from time te time inform the farmers that it only costs one dollar te become a member of our organization, which should have in its ranks every farmer in Lancaster coun ty ; that it is held especially in the in terests of agricultural pursuits, anil all farmers ought te feel an interest iu its welfare, representing as it does the agri cultural and horticultural wealth of this county. And, also, "Heselccd, That a copy of this resolution no scut, signsu by the prcsidcut and sec sec rctary,'tecvcry publisher of a newspaper iu our ceuuty." In presenting his resolution Dr. Greene presented also copies of all the newspapers published in the county, silos. J I. M. Engle stated that he had se long deferred his visit te Mr. MilUin's silo that by the time he wa-: ready te make the visit the silo was empty se that he could net make a proper report. He had net the slightest prejudice against silos, did net knew much about them, but feare our farmers are a little tee enthusiastic about them. Jehn II. Landis read the following pap ji iu answer te a question referred te him at a late meeting : Uil I'iiie l.lne. . JSre industry of the state can be crippled without all portions of the stale being un favorably affected. It is te the interest of every part of the state that every ether part should be thriving aud prosperous. Oil is the principal product of North western Pennsylvania, and thcre is net a substantial reason te be given why its pro duction should net be encouraged and properly protected. The business has be come very much oppressed by that power- ltii corporation known as the blandam Oil Company, monopolizing the cntire busi ness, and using its power te crush out in dividuals who possess enough thrift and enterprise te embark in the oil business. Legislation has been asked for by these people again aud again ; but has as often been withheld through the iullueiice of the Standard oil company, ami its first cousins the mil read corporations. One of these meas ures for their relief .before the Legislature at its last session, was a bill giving ethers the right te ergani.e companies, and granting them the right of way te lay pipe Hues anil vest them with the right of " eminent domain"' se far as te enable them te cress the Standard lines, which they can net new de en account of the fact that the Standard oil company has te-day exclusive right of way, and no ether lines can be laid any considerable distance with out at some point closing its lines. This is the measure known as Heuse bill Ne. 77, mere popularly known as " The Frcz Pipe Line Bill.'" In the northwestern part of the stale, principally in the counties of Erie, Crawford, Warren, McKeau, Elk, Ferest, Clarien, Venango, Butler and Armstrong, there arc thousands of miles of pipe lines iu daily use. Seme of these pipe hues run through agiieultur.il dis tricts. It is fiem their efi'ect upon tlie farms through which they pass that we ean lies I .judge as le the damage that would likely te be done te land and property in Lancaster county, iu caw a free pipe line were te run through it. In our part of the slate but few people have ever seen an oil pipe line and consequently but. a small proportion of our people thoroughly understand their workings. The best place le become acquainted with the workings of these pipe lines is iu the localities through which they pass. I have been te the oil regions for the express purpose of obtaining infor mation en this subject, aud from what I could leant the reports circluated about the damage they de is entirely false anil without foundation. A pipe Hue may burst aud in that way may de damage le property, but an occur- lauce ei mis Kimi is very rare even su the oil region. IteprcseiUative Huliugs, of Venango, who has been engaged iu the oil business Uiv the last (liirleeii years, says : "I haw. known cases where pipe lines have burst, yet l say tuat it is very rare indeed, and ncccr knew a Citsc where a farm er's crops, houses or outbuilding were in anywise injured whatever." What has caused pipe lines te burst was their exposure te the heat and cold which has a tendency te expand and contract the iron aud thus te loosen the pipe at the joints. These pipes are mostly en the surface of the ground ami are uucevcrcd. Had the bill of last session been passed this danger would have been .sufficiently well guarded against by one of its wise previsions, which required the' pipe te be covered at least twenty-four inches , se as te prevent action of the frost. Under the free pijic line bill this objection en the part of the farmer would have been re moved. Without such a bill beinir enacted into a law the Standard oil company may run its pipe from ene cud of our county te the ether and there is no law which compels them te cover their pipe twenty four inches. A pipe line buried that depth would be no obstruction for plowing and tilling the soil. The pipe lines running from the oil fields te Cleveland and te Buf falo are also covered and they de net give the least Irouble te the farmers through whose farms they. pass. The line running from the oil fields e JWeIand.- Ohie. runs through two faians owned bwllcprc- seuflty, an scutative Braham. of Butler con old farmer who is a member of Iho present uegisiaiurc ; a man or sterling nitegrity and whose representations are thoroughly reliable aud who knows what he is talking about when he tells hew pipe lines affect the fanning interests. Mr. Braham told me that had he neither seen it put thcre or had no oue told him that it was thcre, he today would be unacquainted with the fact that a pipe line new ruus through his I arm. He furthermore says that crops grew fully as well en the ground with which these pipes arc covered as anywhere else upon his farm, and that in his opinion pipe lines laid through farming lands, if the pipes are buried, de net de the slight est damage te the land. Other farmers tell me substantially the same. Among the representatives in the Legislature from the oil regions there arc about half a dozen practical farmers, every ene of whom was strongly in favor of the passage of the frce pipe line bill. The mere fact that a few accidents have occurred is a flimsy oxcuse for the defeat of a measure iuvelving an all-important principle and relieving an oppressed peo ple from burdens almost tee grievous te be berne. An accident may occur en a rail road, yet that would net be an adequate reason why railroads should net be built. Accidents occasionally happen te sewers or wuier pipe, ycu new lanie a reason mat would be te advance for net laying any mere sewers or water nine. Gas nine. tee. have been known te de damage, but that would ue an msullieient reason te induce our cities t dispense with their gas light. Au additional fact may be stated and that is that two pipe Hues have for ouite a long while been laid through New Yerk city. This pipe line passes through the finest portion of that great metropolis. It even runs through Central Park, New Yerk city. Think of it this very day somewhere between 23,000 and "10,000 barrels of oil are forced through the very heart of New Yerk city ; through the Iicautiful Central Park in that eity through these pipe lines, across the East river te Hunter s i'einr. Jlave you ever heard of a cent's worth of damatrc bciuir dene thore ? We have also been told that the streams will be polluted and the fish will be killed. This is another story manufactured for the purpese of creating a false impression upon the minds of the peeple aud te scare tiiiiKi, weak.knecd representatives m vot ing against the " Pipe Line Bill." Iu the streams of the northwestern counties there are some of the finest trout te be found anywhere, yet these streams flew through numerous localities which are fairly cov ered with oil derricks. The oil that does get en te the stream remains en the top and docs net mix with Iho water and docs net affect the fish or the purity of the water underneath. The Allegheny river is an example. I have repeatedly seen Iho Allegheny literally covered with oil and was leld it had been se for years, yet there were plenty of fish iu the Allegheny ....i:i .... ii.. u: ji -i . .." .1 ii iini irauubijr. eiuue MIC JUIUKi; lieill UIO large oil refineries above Pittsburgh has found its way into the river the acid and refuse matter has a fatal ell'ect upon the fish. These pipe lines are built especially strong across streams se as te prevent legs, cakes el ice, x,c, in case ela Ireshct, from affecting the joints by striking against the pipe. There is net the slight est likelihood of its affecting the finny tribe iu our .streams were a free pipe line te cress them. These stories about pipe lines have been set afloat bv n.iid ascitis of the " Standard oil company," which gigantic monopoly would strain every nerve and use every jiewer te retain its held upon the slate. This monster has this commonwealth, by the threat today te strangle its efforts te collect revenues amounting le millions which this corpora tion refuses te pay iute the people's treas ury. A number of reports, tee, were studi ously circulated during thu last session of the Legislature, relative te damage al leged te have been done te property and lnuds along Iho Hepburn pipeline l mining from the oil regions through Sou'theih New Yerk te Hunter's Point, N. Y. It was merely the offspring of the "Standard oil company" gotten up purposely te blind and mislead the public into an unjust op position le a measure that is right -and proper ; a measure giving te the individual oil ptediiccr the same privileges and the same rights today exercised and enjoyed exclusively by the Standard oil company ; a measure that must be engrafted upon our statute books te teach these powerful cer jierat ions the limit of their corjierato rights and te guard the people against the threatening danger of these 'corporate powers. It is very Klrnugc that it is uccessurv te go te New Yerk state for information en the workings of f ree pipe lines when we have thousands of miles of them iu out own state. It is strikingly strange that the people of the western part of our own Pennsplvauia, who are as anxious te place their properly beyond the reach of danger ; who are as anxious te have their lauds free from any damage that might be accidentally iullieted ; who arc as anxious te preserve the purity of the pure waters of their mountain streams ; who arc as anxious te protect the finny inhabitants of their rivers and creeks ; who arc as anxious for their own well-being and for the wel fare of the community as men generally are, when in their own localities for miles about them the country is overspread by a complete net work of pipe lines, should be totally ignorant of all the evils and mis haps from pipe lines which have befallen the people of Southern New Yerk and the dangers and. inconveniences from which we are told these i:eplu suffer from this ene pipe line alone. The Standard oil company has combined with the railroad corporations and has complete control of the oil business. It has amassed au enormous amount of wealth aud te-day owns the pipe lines running from the oil regions te Pittsburgh, te Cleveland, Je Buffalo and te New Yerk thus holding iu its grip the main avenues through which this staple product of a full dozen counties el our stale finds its way te the markets. This powerful corpora tion has te-day a complete monopoly of the buying, shipping, refining and selling of millions of dollars' worth of oil. Is there any wonder that it had its paid lobbyists en tlie uoer el the Pennsylvania Leg islature, where it has already dene se much in the past le debauch and disgrace the representatives of the people V Is there any wonder that this tyrannical and grinding monopoly had its salaried agents in this eastern counties of Pennsylvania, there te maniifaturc a false sentiment by misleading the people and te scare timid legislators from what they all should have seen te be, and what I knew nearly all felt te be, their plain and imperative duty. The Slaudard, tee, owns rijrhtsef way te lay pipe lines from the oil rcgieus te Bal timore aud Philadelphia. These rights of way were bought from the laud owners, aud the lines can be built whenever they choeso. Why should net ether citizens of our state enjey the saine privileges '.' Why should net private individuals who have their capital invested iu this important interest in our state have the same right as the Standard oil company has ? It might also be in -quired why cannot ethers tee buy rights of way te build pipe lines te the seaboard ? Te this I reply that the Standard oil company has bought strips of .laud across the state of which it has tta cxclusive right of way, and unless by Iogiafatien you allow ethers te build pipe lines, vesting I tnuiu niiu mu iini ui uiiiiueiiu ueiuaiu, se .that when they de build and ceme te a strip of land owned by the Standard they can cress that liue upon payment for damages, which they new cauuet de. Why should this region of wealth net have a free and unobstructed outlet ? Why should its richness, te which Pennsylvania can lay a just claim, be locked up for( the express purpose of feeding and fattening a foreign corporation which refuses tc pay its share of revenue into the state treasury? Why should there be no encouragement given te the investment of Pennsylvania capital in ene of its most impertaut industries? Why, we may further ask, should there be no protection given te Pennsylvania capital already invested ? The indvidtial oil pro ducers, most of whom arc pcrmaucut res idents of our ewii state, cannot success fully compcle with this gigantic corpora tion, composed almost entirely of outsid ers aud foreigners. Let a frce pipe line bill be enacted into a law, se thas this gigantic monopoly will be defeated ; se that Pennsylvania oil pre. ducers will be protected ; se that Pennsyl vania oil consumers (and this includes the agricultural districts) will be shielded from the imposition of paying two prices for their oil instead of ene ; se that the investment of Pennsylvania capital will be encouraged : se that Pennsylvania refin eries may be erected and Pennsylvania workingmen given employment instead of robbing Pennsylvania labor of employment te which it can justly lay the strongest claim. I fear -the near future will ferce issues upon us alongside of whieh will dwindle iute iusignilieance the llimsy considerations of a little trench being dug through a farm, a spot where the air may be slightiy odorized with oil or the particles of oil flowing upon the waters of a few streams. This, I venture the prediction, is merely lite uegtuniug et the great issue of the future between the people en the one hand and thegriuding monopolies and oppressive corporations en the ethor. Net an unjust or unreasonable warfare against our cor porations which have dene se much te de velop our resources and te build up our industries, but an honest determination tr teach theso soul-less powers tuat they are the mere creatures of the commonwealth instead of master, and, that while the com monwealth will protect them in the full enjoyment of their corporate rights, the commonwealth, tee, has rights which they are bound le respect and laws enacted which they must obey.
