Farm Advice Bureau, Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture urges that the logical thing to do is to store at ¢his a load or two of such foil ‘n the barn basement or perhaps in barrels or boxesin the house cellar. Any gard- en or any field being prepared fur winter wheat or rye will furnish such soil at this season in exactly the con- dition poultry like it. However the earlier stored the bet- ter, 2s after the fall rains begin many soils get so wet that they will not be dry enough and may freeze when co'd weather comes. The way to use this mellow soil or loam is to have a soap box or two in the poultry house and weekly put in them a bucket of this loam. Used on dropping boards to the depth of one-half to three fourth inch makes the very best thing that can be used, being very much better and hav- ing none of the objections of air- slacked lime, sifted ashes, saw dust and other materials commonly used. This loam allows raking the drop. pings off the boards—the easiest and best method of cleaning dropping boards. STATE AGRICULTURE NOTES Reports from the western end of the State that a heavy frost on the night of September 19 damaged the corn, buckwheat and vegetable crops. In Adams county the potato crop has been greatly reduced and much damage was done by the blight where the farmers had not sprayed their po- tatoes. Thruout the State reports of a fail- ure in the cabbage crop are reported and in many sections less than fifty per cent. of an average crop has been grown. In Allegheny county the apple crop is reported to be splendid in ‘the low- lands while in the highlands the or chards are a failure. In Armstrong county the oats, corn and buckwheat have been greatly aff- ected by the lack of rain and the pota- to crop has showed a decided falling off. Tuesday, October 17, is Apple Day and Secretary of Agriculture Charles E. Patton urges every Pennsylvanian to eat at least one Pennsylvania grown grown apple on that day. See tha“ the fruit is Pennsylvania grown. of butter. A farm crop report of the Pennsyl- vania Department of Agriculture esi!- mates the average farm flock of hens at fifty and says that the avera e hen will lay from seventy to eighy egzs during the laying period. Th's means that each farm averages between 300 and 400 dozens of eggs a year.

Chaffeur’s Argument Somerset motorists are interested in the outcome of the charge of auto- mobile speeding against William Ed- mundson, chaffeur for George J, Krehs of Somerset, surerintendent of the Reading Iron Company. Edmundson was given a hearing before Burgess William H. Welfley, who after hear- ing the testimony, ann@inced that ne will render a decision later. Edmundson’s defense was unique and if the charze against him is dis- missed it means that more than$1,000 fines imposed during the summer n a hundred or more drivers of motor care were illegally collected, There is no chance of the borough being com- pelled to pay back the money, how- ever, as the time for appealing the cases to court has elapsed. Attorney Charles F, Uhl, counsel Mr. Edmundson, stated that fl. lowing an investigation he found that the municipality has failed to comply with rhe act of assembly which requir- es the posting of signs warning motor car drivers to keep with the 11-mile speed limit. It is claimed that signs reading, “Danger, Run Slow,” to con trol the speed of automobiles shall ha erected under the provisions of the law. Edmundson was charged with exceeding the speed limit on West main street, while he was driving ‘he Krebs car in a wasterly direction on Aug. 29 last. Although the law re quires the erection of the signs on the right hand street to regulate trafic, it is contended that not a single sign is so posted the whole length of West Main street. The defense also contends that the borough’s “speed trap” though which Edmundson drove the car on the day in question, was not operated accur- ately. Edmundson was “trapped” by ore term, studied law and was ad- ‘mitted to the Erie bar in 1878. For a time Wall'ne practiced ot North East. but in 1881 was elected district attorney of Trie county and took up his residerce in the city of Erie where he has since resided. bunt spends the summers on his farm in Erie countv. where he is engaged. in fruit growing and =eneral forming. He was e'a~ted tate senator in 1884 ‘nd serv. ane ‘erm, meanwhile practicing his profession and doing so until 1896 when he was elected Judge = of Erie county, and ten years later he was re-elected without opposition, be- ing the only judge ever re-elected in that countv. Jude Walling was serving his nineteenth year on the bench when appointed to the Suvreme Court. He has an excellent record as a judge, very few of his decisions having been reversed by the appellate courts. While an extremely active and busy man throughout his entire judicial ca- reer, Judge Walling has found time to interest himself. in various movements for the general public welfare. Chief among such activities is his inter- est in neglected children. Early in his career as a judge he became im- pressed with the need of special care being given bv those in official posi- tions to children who had not the proper home. training. It was largely through his efforts that the Elmwood Home for Boys and the Elmwood Home for Girls were founded in Erie county and are today doing a magni- ficent*service for the neglected young of that and many other counties. Judge Walling has been active In fraternal, social and commercial or- ganizations and in church work. He Is married and has five children. ~~ RS man, It is claimed the car was not Wiiliam L.
