Third St. | RUSSIAN AGENT AT BOIYMEADS FARM Will Report Methods Used Here to His Government at Home Maxmillian Groten, engineer of the ! maintenance of way of the Russian Imperial Railway, was in conference with Secretary of Agriculture Critch !field this afternoon regarding the manner in which the State of Pennsyl vania conducts its educational cam paigns among farmers. Mr. Groten will report to his Gov ernment on the systems in use in the United States and is especially inter- ! ested in the farm institutes and the work that is being done tn connection with stock and poultry propogation. Russia is about to engage in agricul tural instruction on a great scale. Mr. Groten spent several nays going over the Bonnymeads dairy farms near Harrisburg and on Tuesday held a long conference with State Highway Com missioner Cunningham on the con struction of roads in rural districts. At the Bonnymeads farm Mr. Groten was met by Superintendent Hiram Bil lett, and shown over the farms. The distinguished visitor gave close atten tion to the threshing, anc .made in quiries regarding the methods used on the dairy farms. Mr. Oroten took notes of the cost of farming in every branch, and estimates of the amount of crops and acreage. TOO MUCH KAI\" FOR CROPS Onts, Potatoes and Corn Throughout State Have Suffered Crop summaries for the week ending yesterday, compiled by the United States Department of Agriculture, show much damage to oats. The report follows: "Excessive rains covered most of the State, being heaviest in the southeast ern counties and near Lake Erie, lu which districts the damage was heavy. Oats suffered most as harvest was in progress. Fields that were uncut were badly lodged, and in some places were flattened to the ground, while those tn the shock were thoroughly wet through and have since begun to sprout or mold. Corn was beaten down In some sec tions, but is generally straightening up again and is earing rapidly. Much hay was ruined, and orchard fruits suffered considerably. This soil is thoroughly saturated and in many fields it is im possible to operate heavy machinery. Potatoes, which were exceptionally fine in all parts of the State, are beginning to rot in some places and continued wet weather will mean considerable loss in that crop. Fall plowing was begun where the condition of the soil would permit, and threshing of wheat and rye was re ported from a few localities. The losses of truck and early orchard fruits, while considerable, were not great enough to cause any marked shortage In the mar kets." COOL EVENINGS ALL WEEK Indications Point to Showers To-mor row and Friday Harrisburg started to warm up again to-day. It was 70 degrees at 8 o'clock this morning. The mercury was hover ing around 80 at noon. Cool ewenlngs will be in order for the balance of the week. No trace of rain was found on yes terday's records. This means that Au gust 10 will go down In history as the first dry day during the present month. This does not mean that there will he no more rain. Indications to-day were that showers would fall to-night or to morrow. Disturbances in the West, moving eastward, give little promise of settled fair weather for at least forty-eight hours.

HARRISBUHG s££& TELEGRAPH BRITISH MILLIONS IN NEW YORK CITY $52,000,000 in Gold and Securi ties Guarded by Forty Armed Men SHIPMENT WEIGHS 75 TONS Train of Steel Cars Carried Weahh From Halifax, N. S., to Metropolis' By Associated Press New York, Aug. 11.—A special train carrying $52,000,000 worth of gold and securities, which had been shipped by the Bank of England from London, by the way of Halifax, N. S., to this city arrived here to-day. The train was composed of several steel cars and was guarded by forty armed men. Of the total shipment $35,000,000 was In gold and was believed to be in the form of American double eagles. The wet fht of the gold shipment was about 7 tons. It was said to be the largest Ingle shipment of gold ever sent acr iss the Atlantic ocean In one vessel. It was brought over In a British battleship which was convoyed ; through the war zone and across the j ocean by a cruiser and a flotilla of j torpedoboat destroyers to guard against an attack of German subma rines. The cost of transferring it from London to New York was esti mated to-day to have been $250,000. It was said that the British battle ship brought over not only the $52,- 000,000 in gold and securities for New York, but also a shipment of gold destined for Canada whose treasury recently sent gold amounting to $135,- 000,000 to New York. Secrecy Maintained Secrecy was maintained in sending this great shipment of gold and pre cautions were taken tc prevent the, German secret service discovering the I plan or route of forwarding it. At I Halifax it was delivered Into the cus-1 tody of the American Express Com-| pany and when the armed train left that city it was preceded by a pilot en gine for the purpose of testing bridges and to frustrate any attempt to wreck the train by the use of dynamite. This precaution was suggested by the exploit of Werner Horn, the German reservist who attempted to blow up |the St Croix river hridge on February 12, to stop shipments of munitions to the allies. The route over which the train proceeded frftm Bangor, Me., to New York, was kept secret. Robert E. M. Cowes, vice-president and gen eral manager of the express company stated that the transfer was the great est risk ever taken by an express com pany. Eight policemen were sent to meet the train here and guard tne gold un til it was delivered at the subtreas ury. J. P. Morgan and Company of this city, were the consignees. The .pur pose of the transfer of gold was un derstood to be to reinforce British I credit here and to improve the ex change situation as the English pound sterling has depreciated of late. The securities are presumed to be Ameri can bonds, to be used as the basis for further advances to the British gov ernment. MERCHANDISE FOR POOR By Associated Press Toledo, Ohio. Aug. 11.— J.
