While the whole world knows that Pennsylvania ranks with nations In its production of iron and that its steel works are the backbone of tlia American trade; that it mines almost half of the coal of thi Uaitod States, and that its oil and ore, manuf icturod eoods and lumber play a big part in tbe country's business, it has only been within tho last year that the people of the Keystone State have become aware of tho prominence ot ineir uommon- wealth as a food producer. Ihe Pennsylvania Railroad and some commercial crganizitions made praiseworthy efforts to obtain re iable statistics and to awaken in terest in the agricultural enter prises of the State and in years gone by national and State cam paigns to get first-hand informa tion were undertaken, uut it h .s only been within the last year that a State system has been evolved and put into operation This system has been worked out by the Dureau of Statistics of the State Department of Ag riculturo, and it was organized hy our former townsman, L H i hie, E.q It is from that office the people of the State have come to know that Ponnsylvatna is seventh in the list of States in the value of its farm crops and that thev run sotrewhere around a quarter of a billion dollars in worth that we know that our iron and steel aud coal Stato is tho second producer of hay in the country, aud hay is worth a lot in real money these days; that this State is the second apple grower when" it comes to value of the fruit, and that in the prices obtained for its wheat, potatoes ard rye it was No. 3 in America last year. We confess to a on sidorable amountof pr'deinour old Co mmou wealth as a farming State. We have written much, spoken much and thought much about our front rank in manufao turiug, 'mining and uiotal making aud have felt thrills when we considered our p.incoly appro priations for "encouragement of education and amelioration of ills. Now we can expand our chests over our eplerdid place as a pro ducer of food in the days when it ia given the economists concern The figures of the statistical bu reau are a tonic and we hope the Legislature will do the right thing and help us to further ad vertise our farming products be cause we have got lots of land that we can put into cultivation. GOVERNOR'S SALARY. Proposition to Increase It from Ten Thousand to Twenty-five Thous and Dollars a Year. The proposition to increase the salary of the Governor of Penn sylvania from $10,000 $25,000 a year will be one of the things to consider during the present ses sion of the legislature. It ia interesting to note that the bill fixing the present salary of the Governor at $10,000 was pass ed In 171 and was the only bill approved at that legislative ses sion by Governor Geary, who went out of office on January 21, 1873, a few days after he hnd ap proved the salary raiser, aud it was the ouly measure passed by tho Legislature up to that time. Of course tho Constitution for bids the iocrea.-jo of a state offici al' nalary while he is in office, and Unary was quick to app.ovethe bill to benefit llirtranft, whosuc ceeded him. CURTIN PAID $1,000 A YEAR. Previous to the beginning of Governor Geary's term the salary was $1,000 per annum, and Gov ernor Curtin served two terms at that salary, and during Civil war times, when the cost of living is something considered with a shud der. In 18(50, just before Curtin left ofTice, the salary was raised to $5,000, and Geary benefited. The old soldier-statesman, how ever, saw how skimpily a Pennsy lvania Governor could live on $3, 000 and entertain befittingly and it is said that he was the first to propose that his successors salary should be increased, approving the bill on the day it reached him. Back in the early iiO's thi sal ary was $3,000, and Governors Porter, Shunk and Johnston man aged to strgugle along on that a salary that is now less than paid any department head. The increase to $25, 0C0 was in the mind of Governor Tencr during the session of 1913, and but for the fact that the Legislature of that year was stuffed with cranks fake reforrr.eis, and a lot of peo ple who had been injected into the law-making body by the Pro gressive party upheaval, and were anxious to make a record for economy, Governor Tener would have recommended the in crease in a special message, for he knew the struggle to make both ends meet on $10,000 a year as an occupant of the Executive Mansion. SLIM CHANCE TO SAVE More than one Govenor in the past ha3 been quoted as saying that the Governor who expects to save anything out of a guber natorial salary of even $10,000 is going to be disappointed, and these same men have also been quoted as saying that it cost them more while in office than the salary amounted to. Govenor Pollock took a port position in Philadelphia under Lincoln after he left offiie and Governor Parker returned to his daily avocation in Wiliamsport. Governor Curtin left the Gover nor's chair with nothing to show in the way of saving from his salary but he was considered in Bellefonteas "well off" through former law practice. Governor Geary died within a few days after leaving the office, so that there is no history regarding his financial condition. Governor Ilartranft left office with nothing and went into the employ of a biff insurance company. Gover nor Hoy t returned to the practice of law, and it is said left no es tate of substantial size. NtW URIiNADA. Mrs. A. D. Keith, who had been sick all winter, still con fined to her bed. Mrs. J. 0. McClain, who has been confined to hor roo t) vith a dose of Grippo, is better at this writing. Russel Keith, wife, and daugh ter Helen, visited their parents John Kicks and wife. Fat Shoj;e, wife and t hree chil dren, of Saltillo, visited K. b. Thorans' family last Sunday. Miss Ivuth Alloway of Uroad top Uitv is employe! at J. O. t"c Clam'a. The funeral of Ralph Shore was largely attended. Herman Griffith and wife, and Cloyde Martin, wite and son of Trough Creek visited John Thorn as's last Sunday. Olive Shaw visited her sister Mrs RussolSwope it Wells Tan nery last week. Herman Ford is employed at Minersville. January Honor Roll. When it is considered that al most eight hundred persons eith er became new subscribers or re newed their subscription to the Fulton County News during the month of December, and when it is considered that there were hundreds and hundreds of subscribers on the list who were paid ahead before December for there was a nice sized Honor Roll every month during the entire year the Roll for January is very satisfactory. As was stated two weeks ago, subscriptions and renewals will be received to the News at the old rate one dollar a year, until the first day of March, when the price will be advanced as per our original anouncement. At a meeting of newspaper pub lishers and paper manufacturers in Chicago last week, the pub lishers agreed that the present high price of paper has placed the newspaper publishing busi ness in a position so hazardous and menacing, that a remedy must be found without delay. Throughout the country, news papers are being forced out of business, or are doubling up (two or more going together) on ac count of the increased cost of production. Any one familiar with the history of Fulton Coun ty newspapers cannot but be im. pressed with the fact that they change hands rather frequently the oldest paper in the County having had no fewer than fifteen ownerships during- its existence of a little more than CG years. This fact alone is a strong argu ment in favor of increased rev enue for all the paper?'. With last .vlonday the price of Philadelphia papers wss just dou bled; more than nine hundred weekly papers in the Country have advanced the price of sub scriptionsome of them making ing the yearly subscription price two dollars. And there is nothing unreason able about it. The wonder, to many people is. that it was not done months before. Sauer kraut has advanced. Last Sat urday it sold in the local markets in Harrisburg at 15 cents a quart one year ago you could buy all you wanted at 5 cents a quart. How's an editor to keep his family? The Governor of Pennsylvania gets a salary of ten thousand dol lars a year. He is having an aw fully hard time to make ends meet, and a bill has been intro duced into the legislature to give him a little lift-to make his sal- arv twenty-nve tnousana anu .. j i parsonaire free! Whether it be "graft" orwhat not, on the first day of March the subscription price of the News will be advanced. The Editor of the Fulton COUNTY News has had twenty-two years experience in thejnewspaper busi ness in Fulton County, and dur ing.that time owned the Fulton Democrat ten years. He should know what can and what cannot be done in establishing a price that will de equitable between publisher and subscriber. Ninety-ninthly and lastly, ev cry one who cares to stay with the Fulton County News, should keep his seat on the band wagon or get on if he is off. Subscnb ers in arrears have the privilege of paying up and paying ahead at the old rate-one dollar a yetr until the first of March. The Editor very well knew when he decided that the rate would have to be advanced that some of the people now taking the News would pull out; but he knew just as well, that people who reallv Dreferred the News to any other paper in the County would not fall down on a matter of half a dollar.
