WEDNESDAY EVENING HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH! MAY 15, 1918.
li&m Noll, of Cornwall, acted as
chairman, and another address was
made by Prof. H. A. Surface, former
state zoologist. The hall was crowded
In addressing the assemblage Senator
Sproul made no reference to his op
ponent for the office. As there have
been few public meetings during the
campaign, he did not,expect such an
event in connection with what was
intended as an informal visit.
He characterized this as a Repub
lican year and detailed at some
length the support Republicans have
been giving the national administra
tion in the war program. He predict
ed Republican victory this year as a
preparation for Presidential victory
two years hence, and closed with an
exhortation to the workmen and all
other friends to stand by the Repub
lican nominee, whoever he may be,
declaring he will do so himself in the
interests of a solid Republican party
which cannot be maintained efficient
ly, he said, if the successful candi
dates at the primaries are stabbed in
the back.
Prof. Surface reiterated his charges
of inefficiency and incompetence
against Governor Brumbaugh, as
made repeatedly since he was dis
missed from office.
Refuting attacks upon the State
Highway Department as having been
made purely for political effect, J.
Denny O'Neil, State Highway Com
missioner and aspirant for the gub
ernatorial nomination, issued a sharp
statement yesterday. He asserted that
the state's roads were never in better
condition, that a tremendous amount
of work devolved on the department
because of the rigorous winter; that
in every case the department has
insisted that betterments made under
the state-aid law should be made on
highways leading to or connecting
with important railroad centers, and
finally that his department has co
operated in the handling of extreme
ly heavy transportation by motor
trucks of munitions and Army sup
plies by keeping the main arteries of
transportation in remarkably good
condition. He declares the statement
that the Lincoln highway is in de
plorable shape untrue.
His statement says in part: "My
only purpose in making any state
ment at this time in regard to the
highways is to place Pennsylvania in
the proper light before the rest of
the country and to say to the people
that the patriotism of this grand old
state of ours cannot be measured by
the lies and slanders of a band of
desperate politicians."

WHEAT YIELD IS -|
NOT PROMISING!
State Estimates Issued Show

S\\ wheal crop of i
JoXaXA jCfr Southeastern!
' f Pennsylvania, in-i
eluding" Lancaster i
county, arc made I
in the mid-May'
■SiyllHlulol State Department'
Sa" S of Agriculture and J
Rj? in some cases it is 1
stated that fields
should he plowed down. Suggestions
that sonu> land in wheat which is not
promising be put into buckwheat
are made. It is declared that some
parts of Lancaster, Chester, Dela
ware and Montgomery cotinties will
not have 60 per cent, of the average ■
yield for ten years.
The report is made by J. Aldus
Herr. a farm counselor, who .*ays
"Good fields are the exception in the
East. Quite an acreage in Chester
and Delaware certainly should not
be left stand. All persons who have
the time and help to do the work
should plow or dish wheat fields that
do not show a prospect of a fair
yield. Where the rotation will suit,
potatoes or corn might be planted
with advantage and yield a fair crop
on ground that otherwise would not
be worth harvesting. In soils where
buckwheat is adapted to the con
ditions it would be well to sow these
unpionnsing portions of the field
and produce a good crop of grain
which would be a valuable substi
tute for wheat flour. Sweet corn
is quite a valuable crop and could
be planted in many of these bare
places, and there generally is a ready
market when the corn is In the roast
ing-ear stage; the crop could be har
vested in time to seed the ground
to wheat in the fall. Another val
uable crop, now much neglected, Is
broom corn. The writer can well
recall the time when every person
who had a small piece of land grew
broom corn for his own use. This,
I believe, to be good business, es
pecially since the price of brooms
| has increased three-fold. Some of
I the ground could be planted to soup
beans, a very valuable asset in the
! menu of all good liouseheepers, and
j few persons realize how nutritious
| they are. Since the war, the de-
I mand for beans for the army lias
been very great, and every person
who has a piece of idle land should
plant sufficient for his home use.
What is needed is more producers
in proportion to present consump
tion, especially of all cereal crops,'
and the best of these for substitutes
are corn, buckwheat and beans."
Two Weeks Required—lt will re
quire fully two weeks to tabulate
the bids received for the furnishing
of supplies to the various depart
ments of the state government which
were opened yesterday. The con-
II racts will be let just before the
( first Monday in June. There were
fewer -bids received yesterday than
in years, many firms declining to bid
owing to war conditions.
More Bonds Ordered—The State
Insurance Fund Board has ordered
purchase of $40,000 bonds of Alle
gheny county as an investment. The
board purchased $175,000 of the last
Liberty Loan.
Using Outlines—Arrests for catch
ing of salmon and bass, although
the season does not begin for sixty
days, have been reported to state
authorities by wardens. A number
of instances of fishing with outlines
have also come to mind. It is un
usually early for such violations of
| fish laws to be reported.
Bids Rejected—Highway Commis
i sioner O'Neil has rejected all bids
I for the construction of the road in
Camp Hill.
York Gets $37,507.01—Y0rk coun
ty s share of the second class town

will be $37,507.91. It will be sent
out by the State Treasurer soon.

Krie Complaints —The city of Erie
