! Lancaster County Is
Praised in Congress;
Special to Tl:e Telegraph
} Washington, March 7. Lancaster
[County, Pennsylvania, was described as
j "the matchless marvel of farm produe
[ tlvity" in Congress yesterday by Rep
resentative W. W. Griest in the course
of a speech on the agricultural appro
priation bill. Announcing that Lan
caster had been pronounced the great
est of all agricultural counties by each ,
census since 1870, he presented the
latest census statistics, showing that
farm products of the county were
valued at $21,000,000. Los Angeles
county, California, ranked second with
$8,000,000 less.
Appealing for appropriations that
Agricultural Department experts
might render greater service to in
dividual farmers, Mr. Griest charged
that too many nonagricultural duties
were being imposed upon the depart
ment. He criticised the assignment
of the Secretary of Agriculture to
banking duties under the new cur
rency law. To perform the strictly
agricultural duties of the department,
said the congressman, will suffice to
keep the secretary and his experts
busy.
