THE FAMRER’S COLUMN; MARKETING WORK A SUCCESS Splendid results have been obtain- €d by the organization of the co-oper- ative marketing bodies in farm advisers assignedby Secretary of | Agriculture Charles E. Patton to the | marketing work have been active. J. Aldus Herr and E. B. Dorsett | who have been helping Pennsylvania ! fariners and fruit growers to finl ready and profitable markets for their products have met with hearty co-op- eration from both the producers and the commission men in many sec- tiong of the State. During the past month the commis- gion men and many of the grocery houses in the large cities have been furnished with lists of potato growers who have large crops for sals and in most cases the potatoes were immed- fately purchesed at better prices that the farmers have received for Some years. : Both Mr. Herr and Mn. Dorset have ‘been asking Pennsylvania wholesalers and commission men to handle farm : produce and fruit “grown in Pennsyl- vania, and it will not be long, if pres- ent plans carry successfully, before the consuming public of the State will be asked to demgmned “Grown in- Pennsylvania” fruits apd produce. Visits were paid to the fruit belt of Adams, Franklin and Cumberland counties and in many sections of the State. The fruit growers were furnished with the lists of fruit merchants desiring apples and peaches and the com-' mission men were furnished with lists 'of fruit growers having produce to eel. These reports also contain the | quantity and the quality of the fruit offered. Large quantities of hay were aiso reported and arrangments for market- ing many tons were made. In Chester county the milk producers were organ- feed into a co-operative marketing company for the sale of milk in large markets. Arrpngements for the ship ment of milk from the northern counties to Philadelphia were also made. . In many instances the low market- ing men found large supplies of pro- duce on famyms close to cities and made arrangements with the dealers to purchase the nearby crops which were delivered in bulk at a saving of delivery charges to the and for better prices than was form- erly obtained. . Secretary Patton feels that market- ing is going to be a big feature of the work of the Pennsylvania Depart- ment of Agriculture and sees a big advancemtnt in agriculture in this State as local organizations are form- in the movement lto advance the sale ed and the city wholesalers and re- tzileirs as well as the consumers join of products “Grown in Pennsylvania” STATE AGRICULTURAL NOTES The Adams County apple crop Is about twenlty-five per cent. more than last year, but there is some sooty blotch and Baldwin spot. The quality of the apples is better than for some years. One Adams County fruit grow- er reported a crop of twenty-five car- loads of peaches and 6,000 barrels uf apples. Franklin County apple growers re- port the Jonathan and Gano apples fifty per cent. above last year and the York Imperials almost double. Grimes Golden and Ben Davis are also above the average, Throughout the State greater suc- cess has been obtained this year in orchards that were sprayed systemati- cally than for many years. The Baldwin apples throughout the State seem to have been infected by pests and diseases more than any oth- er variety. The large peach crop of last year made some growers careless this year and in some sections where a good crop could have been grown there has been only fifty per cent of an average crop of fair quality. The codling moth is very abundant in orchards that have not been spray- od. . In Lancaster County much damag was done the peach crop by insects “The Champion variety seemed to be -more subject to rot than any other. Dr. J. G. Stover, og Bendersville, ms @sunky, has sold his apple crop, estimated . at 30,000 barrels, to one New York commission house. A Lancaster butcher was fined $100 and costs on charges of offering un- wholesome meats for sale. Agents of the State Livestock Sanitary Board visited the store on six occasions and found unwholesome' meats displayed for sale and being prepared for man- several sections of the State where the two | § large shipments of i apples and peaches were arranged ) for to wholesale and retail merchants ; | N t | chest-out feeling of | | JE. .

Dixon, BOASTFUL IGNORANCE The boastfulness of ignorance is or- dinanily not worthy of comment but wheat it jeopardizes the health of oth- er people it is perhaps worth while to take @p the cudgels. There is a class of individuals who pooh hoo all warnings regarding mat. ters of hygiene and usually end their assertions by informing you that their grandfathers never paid any at- tention to “such nonsense” and what's more they ever have and here they are alive and well to show for it, Sta- tistics however, show that these peo- ple who violate the laws of Nature of- ten meet an untimely death. Unifortu- nately, some give an ear to such fool danger. The transmission ot disease by geyms is most frequently attacked by the ignoran. Those people who accept without comment the statement that the world revolves upon its axis as a part of the solar system, and thous- ands of other things which they are incompetent to work out for themsel- ves, will bluster about the absurdity of germs causing disease. That ty- phoid fever, diphtheria, yellow fever, tuberculosis, anthrax, malaria, and rneumonia are caused by germs has been proven just as definitely as the fact that the world is round. Fortunately exposure to disease, ‘even of a communicable type does not always mean that the individual 80 exposed, - will contract it.
