Synopsis of Weather Conditions Work of Wilkes- Dire Wyoming
In Pennsylvania for Weel
Ending May 14th
—O0—
Temperatures during the week were
mostly below the normal with frost
in the greater portion of the State]
on the 10th.
in the southwestern counties, but ap- |
parently not extensive or serious in |
character. The rainfall was moder-
ate in most places, and occurred at |
the beginning and end of the week.
The weather was generally fair dur-
ing the middle of the week, and field
work made some progress, although
the soil was too wet for good work-
ing conditions. Corn planting was
begun at many places in the south-
eastern counties, and if the weather
permits it will be in full swing dur-
ing the coming week. Two or three
correspondents report planting well
advanced in their respective localities,
but such a condition is not general.
Corn ground is being prepared in he
central and northern counties, and |
planting will begin in some places |
during the coming week. Wheat is |
in good to excellent condition.
ter killing has proven to be so slight |
that very little grain has been aban-
doned or plowed up for other crops.
The crop is generally estimated to be |
the best for the last five years. Oats
seeding is generally finished in the |
central and southern counties, and is
still in progress in the northern coun-
ties. The earliest sown fields are up
and looking well.

| Harry. R. McKeen, nationally |
known figure in Chamber of Com- |
merce work, spoke before Dallas Ro- |
night in Higgin’s College Inn.
| Mr. McKeen spoke on the work be-
ling done and planned by the Wilkes-
Barre-Wyoming Valley Chamber of
Commerce. His talk centered about
the building of a community.
Throughout it was illustrated with
examples of work done in commun-
ities throughout the world where he
has traveled. He showed how the
quality of the churches, schools,
homes and institutions have a direct
bearing on the outlook of a commun-
ity.
In speaking of the Chamber of
Commerce he said that it is now mak-
ling a drive for 1,000 members. The
membership will control the organiza-
| tion, which will be democratic
| every respect. All members will have |
a vote and will elect the fifteen di- |

Barly field potatoes are up in the
south-central and southeastern coun-
ties, and are being cultivated. The
ais are of uneven size, but stands
are mostly good. Not many field
potatoes have been planted in the.
northern part of the State. Plant- |
“ing of the main crop has: begun at
some places in the southern districts.
Truck crops are being planted in the
northern counties, while many are up
and being cultivated in the southern
regions. They generally seem to be
in good condition, but a little back-
ward as the soil has been too wet and
cool for rapid growth. Apples and
peaches are mostly good. A light
setting of fruit is reported from a
few places. Cherries are not so uni-
formly good. Few reports mention
pears and the condition of the crop
generally has not been established.
Apple trees are now in full bloom in |
the northern tier of counties, and are |
generally looking fine. There was |
some damage to orchard fruits by
frost during the week, but seemingly
not extensive or serious in character.
Small fruits were generally harder
hit than the orchard fruits. Straw-
berries suffered considerably in some
places.

There | ysed for research and for bringing | May 6, with the dispatching of tank
car USQX 201, filled with about 200,-
000 cubic feet of helium, to Langley
Field, Virginia, it is announced by
the United States Bureau of Mines,
Department of Commerce.
The new plant, which has been des-
ignated as the Amarillo helium plant,
was built and is operated by the Bu-
reau of Mines at Soncy, on the Rock
Island Railroad about 7 miles west
of Amarillo. The helium is extract-
‘ed from natural gas having a helium
content of 1 3-4 per cent, produced
from the Cliffside structure lying
northwest of Amarillo. Gas from
26,000 acres of land is available to
the plant through a contract between
the Department of Commerce and the
Amarillo Oil Company.
The helium-bearing natural gas is
| transported from the wells to the
plant, by the natural pressure of the
wells, through a welded steel pipe
line eleven miles long. In the plant
the gas is cooled to a temperature so |
low that all of the constituents ex-
cept helium are reduced to liquids.
This temperature is approximately
that of liquid air and is lower than
300 degrees fahrenheit below zero.
The helium is drawn off as a gas and
the liquids are returned to the gas-
eous state by allowing their temper-
ature to return to that of the atmos-
phere. A part of the gas resulting
from the exaporation of the liquid is
used as fuel to generate power to op-
erate the plant and the remainder jis
discharged into a pipe line which car-
ries it to Amarillo where it is used
as domestic and industrial fuel. The
process of extracting helium is a con-
tinuous one involving pressures as
high as 250 pounds per square inch.
The car in which this first’ ship-
ment was made is one of two special-
ly built helium tank cars owned by
the Air Corps, U. S. Army. It car-
ries helium under a pressure of 2,000
pounds per square inch. When the
car reaches Langley Field the helium
will be discharged into other contain-
ers for use in the army’s lighter-than-
air craft and the tank car will be re-
turned to the Amarillo plant for re-
loading.

Receives Cuts In
Auto Accident
Edward Codlbaneh had his hand]
severely cut this week when he was
accidently thrown through the wind- |
shield of his car which was being |
driven by Harry Bray of Kingston,
The accident happened in the vicin-
ity of Ransom on the Sullivan Trail.
It was about 10:30 p. m. and Cool-
baugh and three other young men
were driving down the trail from
front of them. Quickly applying the
brakes, the driver of the Coolbaugh
machine brought it to a sudden stop,
throwing Eddie and another young
men through the front and side wind-
shields.
Eddie’s hand was so badly cut that
it was necessary for him to spend the
night in Wilkes-Barre Homeopathic
Hospital where he had the wound
dressed. Several artries and liga-
ments were cut so that he is not yet
able to use his fingers.
