DRAINAGE BIG
AID TO CROPS
First Requisite to Maximum
Yield Proves Pro
ductive
Well drained land Is the first
requisite towards securing a
maximum crop, as can readily be
seen from the experience of a farmor
in York county, reported to the
State Department o£ Agriculture.
The land in question was very
swampy and produced nothing but a
very poor quality of swamp
that was good for nothing?. There
are about five acres of this land and
after putting in a good syßtem of
underdrains as suggested by the
drainage engineer of the Department
of Agriculture, it produced about
two tons of good hay per acre.
' A Statement Issued
The department says: "The ques
tion always comes up as to the cost
of draining land and fitting it to
produce a crop of paying quantity
and quality. The price of land re
ferred to lies along a creek and is
quite flat and is partly the silt and
soil that is washed off the hills lying
back from it.
"The cost of this work runs about
one dollar per rod and as the drains
are approximately four, rods apart
it can readily be seen that the cost
was about forty dollars per acre.
This may seem to be quite an amount
of money to spend but when one
stops to consider that it produces
practically nothing in its original
state and now produces two tons
of good hny, it is readily seen that
the cost was justified.
"The man who owns the land !s
very well satisfied with his invest
ment and says thnt it Is one of the
best investments he ever made.
"If you Have some land that is in
clined to be wet, have it looked over
by some one. who can tell you just
what to do and how to do it and
then put it in such a condition as to
produce Rood crops and get your
investment back in a very few
years."
Shipping Ten Carloads
of Peaches Every Day
Waynesboro, Pa., Sept. 12.—Aaron
Newcomer and two or three other
large peach growers, near Midvale,
are in the thick of their harvest now.
They are shipping ten carloads of
peaches to market from the Midvale
station every day. They have thou
sands of bushels of the fruit now
ripe or is ripening and the worry
they are having now is to get suffi
cient help to save the fruit from
spoiling on the trees. Over 5,000
bushels of peaches were picked from
the Newcomer orchards last week
by persons who went there in auto
mobiles and picked the fruit them
selves and paid Mr. Newcomer fifty
cents a bushel for what they secured.
Hundreds of bushels will be sold in
the orchards this week at the price
of fifty cents a bushel, provided the
purchasers pick them peaches them
selves.
FROST DAMAGES CANTALOUPES
Lewistown, Pa., Sept. 12. —A heavy
frost yesterday morning almost de
stroyed the big cantaloupe and water
melon crop of Charles M. Smith, the
Big Ridge trucker, near here. Fog
saved most of the other crops in the
county. Smith's truck place is too
high to be much protected by fog.
THIRTY-ONE AFTER POST
Lewistown, Pa., Sept. 12. —Prof.
T. L. Brooks resigned his position as
head of the Lewistown public schools

to Be Drafted?" Wins
Box at the Majestic
Mary Catherine Mumma, 1526]
Derry street, has been awarded a!
box at the Majestic theater by the |
Telegraph for having submitted the :
best answer to last week's puzzle pic- I
ture, "What Has Just Been Said?" I
It will be recalled that a picture I
was shown of two performers at the
Majestic. The girl in the picture look- i
ed at the man with a quizzical air; I
and the man seemed more or less
nonplussed. Just what the girl had j
said to the man to nonpluss him so j
was the problem. Quite a number of J
answers were received.
"Why did ydu wait to be drafted?" i
Miss Mumma decided the gtrl had j
said; and judging from the look on!
the man's face, the Telegraph agreed i
with her.
"We've lost next week," wrote Abe |
Meyer, Berryhill street, meaning that j
the team's engagement lor the week
following had been cancelled.
"Don't you think you could answer
the call of your country?" was the
answer submitted by Rose B. Mum
ma. 1526 Derry street.
"Do you love her better than me?"
was suggested by Kirt Kline, of
Enola.
If Mary Catherine Mumma will call
upon the City Editor, the Telegraph,
she will receive a note to the man
agement of the Majestic theater,
which will rntitle her to a box at
any future performance at that the
siter.
