nbout a maximum of production from
the agricultural lands owned by the
State. It will be the purpose to first
plan for crops that can be used by the
institutions and thus save large out
lays for the purchase of food com

be followed crops that will bring the
best market returns will be recom
ihended. '
The farm experts spent yesterday

are forty-five ocres of garden,' 248
acres for field crops, eight acres in
orchard and eight acres in pasture.

ing; 4,094 acres for field crops, 315
acres in orchards, 745 acres in pas
ture and 978 acres in meadow land, or
a total of 6.564 acres for agricultural
purposes. Many of the institutions
have large acreages in lawns, part of
which .may be recommended for use
for agricultural purposes.
After the preliminary visit of the
farm experts to the institutions, the
needs of each institution will be
stiudied and from time to time re

the management of the farms. Under

JACKSON PLANS
TO SUE IMPOSTOR
Will Protect Men Who Are
Seeking Jobs From the Man
Who Preys on Them
Commissioner John Price Jackson,
of the Department of Labor and In
dustry, will ask the Legislature for
authority to arrest, without warrant,
floating employment agents, who oper
ate without licenses in Pennsylvania
and transport workers usually to
points outside the State by misrepre
senting the new employment condi
tions.
Commissioner Jackson said to-day
that floating representatives of em
ployment agencies from other states
frequently resort to misrepresentation
and through deception endeavor to
obtain Pennsylvania workers for
strike-breaking or for purely tempo
rary employment. These conditions,
said the commissioner, are kept se
cret until the employe arrives at his
supposed new work. Many complaints
of this nature have been received at
the Department pf Labor and Indus
try from workers so deceived.
These floating agents pay the State
of Pennsylvania no fee and have
posted no bonds. Inspectors of the
Department of Labor and Industry,
upon discovering such floater, are
powerless to detain him until obtain
ing a warrant for his arrest. In the
meantime the floating employment
agent has disappeared.
Commissioner Jackson says that
these conditions do not apply to bona
fide employment agents seeking
workers for reputable plants in Penn
sylvania or other states where the
employment is permanent at wages to
attract workers and where there is
no deception practiced.
The bureau of employment, of the
Department of Labor and Industry,
supervises all permanent private em
ployment agencies in the state which,
under -the law, must pay an annual
license fee of SSO and post a bond
of SI,OOO.

HARRISBURO tftftfti' TELEGRAPH
ARMY PLACED ON
BASIS FOR WAR
Plans Cull For Raising More
Tlian 1.200,000 Men For
Service
By Associated Press
Washington, April 3.| War De
partment plans for the mobilization of
a war-time army have been completed
for some daya and arc ready for sub
mission to the military committees of
the House and Senate. No details of
the proposal to be made as to the
method of assembling the force have
been given out, but President Wilson's
words to Congress last night indicated
the scope of the first step to be taken.
The War Department recently di
rected that sixty or more noncommis
sioned officers and enlisted men from
each regiment in the regular army be
selected by their commanders to Sorm
a provisional list of men available for
duty as officers. No examinations were
required. These lists now have been
compiled arid with the steadily increas
ing officers' reserve corps furnish six
or eight thousand men who will hold
commands in the half-million army to
be mobilised. .
The universal service project
formulated by the army general staff
introduced in the form of a bill in the
House to-day, provides for the train
ing of approximately 500,000 men a
year. . The Senate military commit
tee bill, for the same purpose, also
presented to-day, provides for annual'
classes of about equal size.
Officials of the general staff are
virtually unanimous is believing that
troops should not be sent to the battle
front with less than twelve months in
tensive training.
If the plans adopted call for 500,000
federal trops in addition to bringing
the present regular army and National
Guard forces up to their maximum
strength, the United States army
would number more than 1,200,000
men.
