IMMENSE VALUE
OF STATE CROPS
Department of Agriculture
Issues Summary of Reports
on Nineteen Crops
Nineteen of Pennsylvania's 1917
farm crops had a value of $611,668,-
520.35 according to a bulletin is
sued to-day by the State Department
o£ Agriculture after analyzing crop
reports from the sixty-seven coun
ties. This is a gain of over $400,-
000.000 in the value of the same
crops during 1916. It is declared to
be the highest record of value of
crops ever made in the State.
The bulletin says:
"Corn, is the principal money crop
in the State, but the dairy industry
is a close second and if definite fig
ures of production were obtainable
it might overcome the corn total.
-Most of the figures are taken from
the regular crop statistics of the De
partment, but in some cases careful
estimates of" values of crops have
had to be made where there is no
report showing the value at the
present time."
The estimates are as follows:
Wheat $54,584,790 59
Rye 7,676,439 IS
3ats 27,964,869 65

HXRRISBURG Ijftljftj TELEGRAPH!
EIGHT CAR STOPS
CUT FROM LIST
Mechanicsburg Borough Coun
cil Requests Valley Railways
Co. to Improve Service
In compliance with the request
of the Mechanicsburg council, the
Valley Railways Company • has is
sued orders that eight car stops in
the borough would be eliminated.
This new ruling went into effect this
morning. A resolution suggesting
this move was passed' by the
Mochamcsburg council at a recent
session and sent to the Valley Rail
ways Company offic<; at Lemoyne
by secretary of Council, Samuel E.
Baoehore.
Tho following requests were in
cluded lit the resolution:
"This being in keeping with Fuel
Administrator Garfield's request, that
all unnecessary railway stops, which,
as a general rule, occur between one i
block and another, should be ellml- J
nated, so as to conserve coal;
"And be it further resolved. That j
the said Valley Railways is hereby |
requested to establish a stop on '
Main street, at the western end of
the brick pavement."
The new schedule of stops is as
follows:
West and Main streets. Broad and
Main, Washington and Main, York
and Main, High and Main, Frederick
and Main, Market and Main, Arch
and Main, Arch and Locust, Arch
i and Simpson, Race and Simpson,
j Walnut and Simpson, Chestnut and
Simpson, Filbert and Simpson, Nor
way and Simpson, Main and Race,
Main and Walnut, Main and Chest- J
nut and Main and Irving College.
Officials of the Railways Company
said better service could be given
by tho company if pther West Shore
boroughs would adopt this plan.
The company officials admitted
that they could put this ruling into
effect without the consent of bor
ough Councils, but would not carc
to make the move until residents see
for themselves the cause of poor
service at times.
It was pointed out that there are
about twenty-five stops In New Cum
berland, several of which could be
eliminated. The service on this line
for several months has been getting
poor and officials give the many
stops as the reason. Some stops
could be eliminated in Wormleys
burg, West Fairview, Enola and
Hf mp Hin - far as Lemoyne goes
the stops are far enough apart, of
ficials claim.

was made by aii official of tlio Val
ley Railways Company this morning

able to use," declared an official of
the Valley Railways Company to a

many applications for positions were
on the company's files and that the
men are working steadily. There is
no serious trouble on account of a
labor shortage. The only difficult
problem the company has to solve at
the present time is the scarcity of
material.
