S. of A. Hall at Huston town on Saturday evening, July 6th the proceeds to go to the Red Cross Fund. Turn out; en joy an evening of clean entertain ment; encourage the Club who have done a lot of hard work, and help along a worthy cause. Give Half The Road. Some complaint has come re garding the giving of half the road in case of an automobile coming up behind a team. The parties claim that when they come up behind a fellow with a team he stubbornly refuses to give any of the road, no matter if there is plenty of room to turn out Now the law recognizes the right of both the man with the team and the man with the auto, and these rights should be re spected. There are plenty of men who are running autos who should be driving ox teams and vice versa, but all men should not be treated that way. The law Bays that when a man is over taken by a faster vehicle, the man driving the slower vehicle shall turn out and give half of the beaten path. Mr. and Mrs. E. C.

When This War Will End. Everybody is naturally inter ested in knowing when th's war will end. The military and his torical experts have all tried their Hands at answering this big question. But the best predic tion wehaveyet seen comes from Major General Leonard Wood. Speaking before the alumni of the University ot Michigan, ihe said that no man living could tell exactly when it would cease. "But," he added, "in my opin ion it will not end uutil we have won." That is tbe American answer to the universal query. We do not believe in drawn battles in this country. The national-tendency is always for a fijht to a finish. We did tot go into ttis Uruggle lightly. We did tot pend a generation in preparing or it as did the military depots f Germany. Bat after it had ttarted ar.d tbe liberty of the world was threatened, we took onr pi act) on the fighting line, calmly, deliberately and with a full realization of the cost in blood vad treasure. It id unthinkable that we wonld have done this with anything but final victory in view. We hope it may end soon. It may last tor years, but ia any event, as General Wood says, the en rJ can only come with victory for the cause which we have em brae ed Philadelphia Ioquirer. Georgia Ratifies.

There has been a decided in terest in the number of lambs in the State, statistics allowing a two per cent, gain over average years. It is estimated that the farm ers are holding for their own use ibout290,411 tons of the latt Lay crop. An'unusually heavy drop of apples is reported in all parts of the State, due to the cold and wet weather at blossoming time. O io of the finest bay crop for many years is predicted from nio?t At etions of the State. Crawford county farmers who u o try icg spring wheat report Uiht it id in fine condition. All fruit crops are consider ably less than last year, except blackberries and raspberries which are reported plentiful. The continued rains have greatly delayed rorn planting in some sections and caused severe washouts Id others. It is estimitod that 39 per ceut. of the farmers with dairy berds are using cream 'separa tors. It is estimated that tbe poach crop in the State will be less than 60 par cent, of normal pro duction. It is estimated that 1.1C8. 906 acres have been rown to oats t'm year as compared with 1, 071,700 acres last year. Pennsylvania still retains its rank as the leading buckwheat State despite the decrease of over a million busneis in pro duction this year. Pennsylvania has jumped into third place as a potato producing State, being excelled by only Maine and New York. List year its rank was sixth, Minne sota, Wiscousin, Maine, New York and Michigan leading. Pennsylvania ranks seventh among the tobacco producing States this year. Pennsylvania orchards this vear produced as many apples as Oregon, Washington and , Cali fornia combined. This State has jumped from fourth to sec ond place in apple production.! The average weight per bushel of wheat, oats and barley are much lower than last year and are below the general average. The estimated consumption of Hour equals 5 3 bushels of wheat per person a year, and on this basis the Pennsylvania crop this year was 24 5G8 000 bushels short of meeting the requirement of the inhabitants of the State. It is estimated that thirty per cent, of the Pennsylvania potato crophusualiy shipped out of the counties where grown. The estimated average pro duction of honey per colony of bees in thu State., during tbe past season was 54 pounds as compared with 34 pounds last year. Estimates sho.v that about IS per cent, of the potato crop of the State is harvested in Augmtf9 per cent m September, and 32 per cent, in October. Small har vests are made in July and November. The Cow and flea. The most useful, the most re liable and the n ostlprotitableof all domestic things are the cow and the hen, whose products are al ways sa'able and always usable by the family. You show us a man who tikes good care of a dairy or one who gives bis poultry in telligent care, and we will show Grow Wool and Help L'acle Sam. An ircrease of three per cent, in the number of fleeces clipped in tho State this year as compar ed with last year and a total clip of GJ6170 tkeces totalling 4, ?G1,700 pounds of wool is report ed to the Bureau of Statistics ot the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. For the past two years Secre tary of Agriculture Chas. E Patton has been urging the farm ers of Pennsylvania to take a greater interest in sheep breed ing. Those who followed his ad vice two years ago and now have flocks of fdipep are realizing splendid returns and there is a steadily growing interest insheep breeding. It is estimated that there must be 50 sheep back of every soldier to clothe and equip him, 8avs Secretary Patton. Pennsylvania has less than one third tbe nu mher of sheep that it would take to support, by this means, the 150 000 native sons who are now representing it in the war. Sheep cost much more now than at normal times, but it would only add to the farmer's patriotism for him to get into the sheep breeding business and help supply the wool that the government needs for our sol diers. It is estimated that the army and navy need 300,000,000 pounds ot wool for the year and Pennsylvania has only furnish ed 4,263 700 pounds when it could have been fumishod twice as much if our farmers would only take an interest in sheep breeding. " Pennsylvania has 150,000 men in the army and navy and it would take 3,000 000 sheep to clothe snd equip them, accord ing'to statistics, We must pro duce more wool and mutton. strongly advocate tbe movement to 'Trade the dog for a pet lamb Grow wool and help Uncle Sam Select the Laving Hen. With present high prices and shortage of grams it is not only bad p6ultry practice but almost criminal to feed these much needed grains for human food to a non producing hen. The only solution to the problem lies in eliminating these boarders. According to L. S. Kleinsch midt, of tho Poultry Division of the Pennsylvania State College, the indications that a bird is lay ing and ia quihhei to remain in the pen art: A clear, full, bright eye with no appeurence of slug gishness; pale shanks aud beak: white llibby vent; depth and breadth in the region of the abdo men, with thin pliable pin bone; prominent, red, wavy comb; toe nails -worn, indicating activity; condition of breast fairly well fleshed. These characteristics coupled with late molting of feathers will point out the high producicg fowls in your flock. The non laying ben usually stands partially erect, like an Indian Runner Duck, has yellow shanks and beak, fat bead, is fat in region of abdomen, with small puckering vent and inclined to molt early. Culling should begin about tho middle of June or about the time the first hens stop layiug and continue until late in September, or until the flock 13 reduced to make room for the well matured pullets. If only one culling is made it should be in September and include, all bens that have molted or stopped laying or that otherwise show the characters- you a man who runs no store bill and keeps tquare with the world.
