WAGONS LOANED BY UNCLE SAM Fifty-Nine From the Store at Marsh Run Turned Over to the State Road Men Fifty-nine two l\. \ \ % y//1 horse dump Ivv. \\ jt"\i£ / \ wagons built f or the United States army been de livered here for the use of the State of Fenn j sylvanta in road malnten ance T; and will be put into service im meadiately by the State Highway department. The wagons came from the Marsh Run quartermaster reserve depot and will fill in with requirements for work in Central Pennsylvania. The State has been allotted 558 trucks of various kinds by the War Department from the army motor vehicles for use on highways, dozens of which are parked beside the State Capitol building. Of the number allotted 269 have been de livered and arrangements are being made at the State Arsenal tract for a large park for such wagons. It is possible that some of the trucks now stored at Marsh Run will also be turned over to the State. The problem of caring for the trucks during the winter is one which is giving State officials much concern. Racing Jack Frost —R epo r t s coming to the State Department of Agriculture indicate that with a continuance oi fair weather much of the big con: crop of Pennsyl vania, one of the largest in years, will be out of danger of frost. In some years gone by September frosts have caused damage and this has caused extra effort to bo made by farmers and growers to speed up the cutting. Two years ago a considerable part of the corn ciop was never cut owing to the early appearance of cold weather which ruined much of it. In many sections of the State plowing is in progress for wheat and rye and indications are for a big acreage, say State of ficials. Apple Crop Short—With the an nouncement that statistics gathered by the State Department of Agri culture indicate that the apple crop of Pennsylvania this year will ap prcx'niate 9.267,000 bushels JSecre it'.ry of Agriculture Rasmussen urges that there should be no waste of the fruit. "One apple out of every four goes to waste either by rotting in the orchards or in the cellars. This is a loss which if avoided would mean considerable to the farmers and fruit growers" says he. The yield this year represents only fifty-two per cent of the normal crop. The secretary also announced that new regulations relative to hog cholera will be put Into force in Pennsylvania that he believes will prevent spread of the diseose and amply protect the dealer, breeder and farmer without being burden some. State Not to Appeal—lt Is not re garded as probable that the State will appeal from the decision of the Dauphin county court in the decision that Swindell & Co.. of Philadelphia, can be taxed on capital employed in putting together parts of stoves and ether articles not made by the con cern.

Complain About Cars Some of the State rond contractors through out the State are complaining to the State Highway Department that they are having difficulties in getting sup plies of stone because railroads will not furnish certain cars which the Railroad Administration is demand ing be used for stone. Many Will Bid—Lively bidding Is expected on t]je construction of the State Memorial bridge in Capitol Park extension next week. Almost thirty sets of specifications have been taken out. Checks Going Out The State Treasury has about completed mailing out the bulk of the checks for the payment of the county road tax bonus for 1913 and 1916. Over a million dollars is involved and each township of the second class gets a share. British Watching Americans Secure Trade in Germany Cologne, Sept. 17.—British busi ness men have taken notice of the strides made by Americans in ac quiring trade in Germany. At a meeting in Cologne reqcntly of di rectors of the British Chamber of Commerce for Germany, C. Knott, of London, said: "America has more than 1,700 Chambers of Commerce in all parts of tho world, and these associated chambers some time ago sent a dele gation to Europe which visited Co logne and Berlin and departed with Germany orders in fabulous amounts. The goods are to be de livered at once on three years' credit. In this way the United States is securing the lion's share of Germany's import trade. Such is the result of the co-operation of their Chambers of Commerce. I see no reason why British Chambers of Commerce cannot employ such methods." Canada Offers Hand to British Soldiers London, Sept. 17. —Canada is of fering a cordial reception to de mobilized British soldiers who have not found in England satisfactory employment upon their return to civilian pursuits. North American emigration is being suggested as possible solution of England's press ing resettlement problem. While nil British emigrants will be welcomed, Canada is particularly warm for the coming of professional men. Canadian professional socle ties are said to be prepared to give special preference to men of this class. Qualified accountants, chemi cal tyid forestry Interests, for in stance, have many positions which it is hoped may be filled through absorption of this excess of British professional men. Using Substitute For Gasoline in Paris Paris, Sept. 17.—The government has authorized experiments with a benzol and alcohol mixture as a substitute for gasoline in automobile engines, in view of the high price of the latter—a dollar a gallon. While benzol used alone undoubtedly gives more power than gasoline, it has an objectionable odor, and chauffeurs who have tried it assert | that it corrodes carburetors and cylinders. Both these disadvantages, it is claimed, may be to some extent removed by mixing the benzol with alcohol or ether or both. I CORN BORER IS TO BE FOUGHT Department of Agriculture Is sues Warning in Regard to the Dreaded Pests Fred Rasmussen, Secretary of Agriculture, who has returned from meetings in Albany and Boston of the Commissioners of Agriculture of the various States to discuss the control of the European Corn Borer and to study the methods of con trol in operation in the infested area says the European corn borer, unless its spread is checked, is likely to prove the most destruc tive of all Insects to America. The total value of the corn cro> last year was three and one-half billion. The European corn borer has been found in sections surrounding Albany and Schenectady, in the vicinity of Boston, and recently in three places in southern New Hampshire, The borer passes the winter tn the corn Malks and its eradication in infested areas depends on the complete destruction of all the stalks. It has also been found that when corn is not available the borer will live in the stems of other plants. As many as forty dif ferent plants up to the present time have been found to satisfy its appetite. This makes the problem of eradication a most difficult one. Every effort possible is being made by the State and Federal govern ment to eradicate this nest where found. Experiments are being made with liquid fire as well as machines which will crush infested material to a degree that will des troy the borer. The infection of fields in New Tork State is estimated from one per cent, to five per cent, while in Massachusetts fields are from one per cent, to practically one hundred per cent, infection. The danger of the spread of this disease is so great and the control so difficult that resolutions were adopted by the conference to ask Congress to make an appropriation of two million dollars for the con trol and possible extermination of the European corn borer. Scouting for the European corn borer has been done by representa tives of the Pennsylvania Depart ment of Agriculture. Up to date no infection has been found in this State.
