Secretary Says That Talk
About Force, Etc., Will Be
Taken Up Later On
Secretary of Agriculture Charles E.
Patton to-day declared that all legal
requirements in connection with the
dismissal of Dr. H. A. Surface, the State
zoologist, had been complied with and
that the claim of the scientist that he !
had not been formally notified that his ;
term would end on August 15 was un- i
founded.
When asked if formal notice had
been given to Dr. Surface, the secre- I
tary said that he had given it himself;
-Mr. Patton also secured the consent of !
Governor Brumbaugh to the change in ;
the office and the approval of the ex- :
ecutive to the invitation to Professor :
J. G. Sanders, of Wisconsin, to take '
the place.
The only comment the secretary j
would make on Dr. Surface's assertion j
that unless the Governor approves of i
the action of the Commission of Agri- I
culture in dismissing him, "physioal |
force" would be the only thing to sepa- |
rate him from Ms office, was "That is j
a matter to be met later."
ENORMOUS FRUIT
CROP PREDICTED

orchards, covering about 5,000 acres,
y ester Cay.
The entire fruit belt of the county
covers approximately 10,000 acres, of
which 4,000 are bearing at the present
time. Sixteen automobiles were fur
nished by members, who acted as
pilots and guides, and more than sixty
people were taken through the many
peach and apple orchards.
Leaving Goodyear at 8.30 o'clock in
the morning, the autos wound around
the hijls past miles of fruit trees
planted in large blocks. Stops were
made in a number of the large or
chards and big baskets of apples and
peaches passed around to the growers,
railroad representatives and newspa
permen on the trip. Inspection tours
through canning, evaporating, packing
and storage factories featured the run.
At each of the large plants the entire
system was explained by the owner
and manager.
Some Apples, Too
In the sixty-seven orchards passed
approximately 175,000 apple trees are
planted, of which 75.000 are of bear
ing age. There fre also 100,000 peach
trees, with 4 0,000 bearing fruit.
One hundred and sixty-eight car
loads of canned apples, weighing more
than 6,000,000 pounds, were shipped
last year, together with 270,000 pounds
of evaporated apples and 12 carloads
of cider syrup, equal to almost 100
carloads of cider before being con
centrated.
The shipment figures given are just
five and one-half times the total ship
ment of 1903. The present year will
probably exceed last year's totals by
10 per cent.
Plenty of Other Fruit
Peach record? for 1915 also reach
enormous totals. One hundred and
forty-six cars c.f peaches, averaging
640 baskets to the car, were shipped;
1,950 bushels of pears, 7,827 baskets
Of plums, 2,924 baskets of cherries.
17 cars of potatoes and 6 cars of early
cabbage.
E. C. Tyson, the "apple king," in
speaking of the tremendous produc
tion and the possibilities of the belt
in the future, said:
"When you realize that it is neces
sary for apple trees to average four
barrels to the acre, not a large amount,
in order to yield a carload to the acre
10,000 acres may easily present a prob
lem in transportation that it may be
well for our railroad friends to keep in
mind."
Season Now Under Way
Among the bit, plants visited were
the Musselman canning factory at
Gardners; the Adams County Fruit
Packing and Distributing Company
plant, where the first shipments of
apples and peaches were being as
serted and graded, and the Biglersville
storage plant, where 33,000 barrels of
fruit are stored each year.
Luncheon was served on the lawn at
the home of the Tyson brothers, after
which the party again toured through
many miles of orchards. All of the
processes used in handling the two
fruits were explained on the trip.
That the fruit industry in the county
is flourishing is shown by the organ
ization of five national banks within
the last ton years, each with a capi
talization of $25,000. at Fairfield, York
Springs, Bendersville, Blgierville and
Arcndtsville.
The association of the fruit growers
was organized in a little school house
near the Tyson brothers orchards at
the time when the San Jose scale was
causing big losses to crops.

The members are particularly In
terested in legislation and have ap
pointed a committee to handle this
branch of work. The committee in
cludes F. E. Griest. chairman. R. M.
Eldon and C. J. Tyson. An apple grad

to insure uniform quality of fruit by
compelling packers to put their names
and addresses on all boxes and barrels.

There are several unique and dis

In the first place- it will be strictly a

should appeal to many parents as well
as young men themselves. The enroll

only those who can be recommended
