Remarkable Showing of
Pesnsylvania Farmers Dur
ing the Year Just Closing
Figures showing: an Increase of
300,000 acres devoted to raising of
foodstuffs, and a gain of $25,000,000
in value of the nine principal crops
raised in Pennsylvania have been is
sued by li. H. Wible, statistician of
the State Department of Agriculture,
and tell their own story of the way
Pennsylvania farmers lined up to
meet the call upon them.
The statement issued as a sum
mary of reports received is as fol
lows:
"The estimated total area of the
nine principal crops, that is, wheat,
corni rye, oats, buckwheat, barley,
potatoes, tobacco and hay, for the
year 1918 was 8,319,054 acres com
pared with 8,058,735 acres for the
same crops in 1917. The estimated
total value of the same crops for the
year 191S is $377,097,818.85. while
these crops for the year 1917 were
valued at $352,014,520.35.
"The yield of all farm crops per
acre was near and in most cases ex
celled the ten-year average. The
average price of wheat is $2.16 as
compared with $2.00 one year ago;
corn, $1.63 compared with $1.72 one
year ago; rye. $1.66 compared with
$1.67; oats, sll4 cents compared
with 72 cents; buckwheat, $1.66
compared with $1.56. The average
price of potatoes now prevailing is
$1.52 compared with $1.42 one year
ago. The yield of hay per acre is
about an average crop but the aver
age price is $26.05 compared with
$18.19 last year. The value of the
hay crop is approximately sllO,-
825,114.55 as against $85,499,990.00
last year. This is the most valuable
farm crop. The total estimated pro
duction of tobacco was 58,007,400
pounds compared with 51,051,000
pounds last year. The average price
is 25 cents per pound compared with
22 cents last year. The value of
the tobacco crop is fixed at $14,501,-
850.00 as compared with $11,232,-
320.00 last year.
"While the prices of farm pro
duce generally have shown an ad
vance, the farmer has been com
pelled to pay large increases for la
bor, machinery and fertilizers. The

board has increased since last year
from s3ll to $358, and the aver
ago summer monthly pay has in
creased from $33 to $44. Farm
wages by the day with board have
increased from $1.90 to $2.30, and
harvest wages increased from $2.40
to $2.95. The cost of female house
hold help has Increased from $4 to
$4.80 per week.
"Farmers put out a large acreage
this year, and in many instances
were handicapped because of the
lack of help. During these unusual
times the farmers have learned bet
ter how to help themselves. There
was no unusual damage from frost
or storm during the year. The
greatest damage was done by a
rather severe and prolonged drought
which prevailed pretty generally
over the state during the summer.
This was detrimental to the corn,
buckwheat, potatoes and other
growing crops. The potatoes were
damaged by the blight. While this
crop is over six million bushels less
than last year, it is still up to about
the ten-year average yield. As a
whole it has been a successful and
prosperous year for the Pennsylva
nia farmer.
'The condition of wheat In the
ground is 111 per cent, compared
with 91 per cent, one year ago.
Should this condition prevail until
next harvest, with the unusually
large increase in acreage, the crop
will certainly be a record one. Rye
is 109 per cent, compared with 19-
per cent, one year ago."
S3O a Day Wage Paid
to Nurse in Nevada
Wlnnemucca, Srv, Thirty dollars
a day for waiting on a family was the
wage at which u colored woman was
hired here by a Basque sheepman to
go to his ranch near McDermott, on
the Oregon line, all the members of
his family being ill of influenza. The
sheepman had tried in vain to get
help nearer home, and failing, came
to Winneinucca. There were a num
ber of eases of the disease here and
that, together with the fact that
many people are afraid of contract
ing influenza, made it difficult to
find a woman to go. The colored wo
man was ottered S2O a day* She said
it was worth S3O, and without any
further parleying the Basque con
sented to pay it.
