i \ \ f J/i ers institutes to
\ \\ be held uftder the
sV\W A JA/, system which has
T been in vogue tor
about a quarter
STjKffifilgKV of a century will
WTJJqSSqk be held in Penn
-1 HuHMSMP sylvania this
r feUI nHilini week. The whole
i fji' Z. % plan of conduct-
S9Ble* ing these meet
i ings for farmers
will bo changed next year under au
thority expected to bo conferred by
the Legislature and instead of lec
tures on subjects which have been
gone over year after year there will
bo efforts made to have the farmers
exchange experiences and to have
the addresses made upon topics
which are uppermost in the locality.
"Where any district specializes in a
product or has been afflicted with
a plant or cattle disease cognizance
will be taken of it.
Attendance at institutes this year
was greater than usual owing to the
open winter and in some localities
the meetings developed into debat
ing societies. Reports generally
showed increased acreage in grains.
The closing meetings were held
Saturday in Bustleton for Philadel
phia's farming district; and Gratz
for upper Dauphin with meetings at
Geeseytown for Blair and Prospect
for Butler. Today the final meetings
will be held in Gradyville, Delaware
county; Nixon Hall. Butler, which
will last two days, and Bald Eagle
for Blair. A few additional meet
ings to make up for some which
had to be changed will be held.
Closing Draft Pinal steps to
close up the draft in Pennsylvania
will be taken soon. Eighty per cent
of the local boards have sent word
to State headquarters that records
are ready for shipping. Calls have
been sent out for additional his
torical sketches to complete the
story of the draft; lists of men who
volunteered for army or navy before
being called in the draft and data
regarding personnel of draft boards,
members of which are requested to
send photographs to the State head
quarters to form part of the second.
McClurc's Last Case Notice that
the Public Service Commission will
not tolerate disobedience or evasion
of its rulings in' regard to jitney
service is contained in an opinion
banded down by Commissioner H.
B. McClure directing C. B. Henry,
J. D. Dru.ry and E. P. Christe to
stop carrying passengers between
Cresson station and the State sani
torium. The decision says that
while some of the evidence shows
failure to grasp the effect of the
order issued year, there indica
tions of "deliberate evasions." The
commissioin directs the men to
stop soliciting and carrying pas
sengers and says, "The commission
will not now enforce the penalty
for violation or the order, as it
might do under the circumstances
disclosed in this case, but further
evasions will subject the respondent
to the penalty which the law im
poses." In another decision the
commission directs the Lehigh Val
ley Valley railroad to begin con
struction under a bridge near Bow
man's station. Carbon county on or
before April 1.

to treat fruit and other trees for
diseases and to inocculate them
against pests has been made by

"This is the season of the year
when these tree doctors operate,"
said he. "We wish to put people
on their guard and to give notice

ecute under the insecticide act of
a few years ago. Some eases which
approach deliberate fraud have been
reported to us."
