The Low Prices
Hit Our Crops
TOTAL VALUE IN THE STATE
WAS EVEN LESS THAN HAY
ALONE BACK IN NINETEEN
EIGHTEEN
Pennsylvania farmers experienc-
ed a year of short crops and low
prices in 1932, the price of some
products being the lowest since the
Civil War, according to the State
Department of Agriculture. Crops
grown during 1932 were tentatively
valued at about $883,000,000 or ap-
proximately one-third less last year
and roughly one-half the 1930 val-
ue.
The ‘unprecedented reduction in
prices has resulted in the value of
farm crops grown in Pennsylvania
during 1932 being less than the
value of the hay crop alone in 1918
Despite depression and drought,
Pennsylvania continues in the fore
front of agricultural states, rank-
ing within the first sixteen in the
production of all important crops.
The rank in 1932 production is as
follows:
First in cigar filler tobacco.
Second in buckwheat.
Third in the total apple crop and
maple products.
Fourth in peaches.
Fifth in commercial
grapes.
Sixth in potatoes.
Seventh in rye and pears,
Tenth in tame hay.
Thirteenth in winter wheat.
Fifteenth in oats.
Sixteenth in corn.

When An Auto

RURAL FOLKS AND OTHERS, WHO
FREQUENTLY DO HAULING, CAN
NOW DISTINGUISH TOURING
CAR FROM TRUCK
So many people frequently convert a
touring car, roadster or some other
type of car, into a truck for carrying
purposes. When this is done the ques-
tion arises, is it a truck or a passenger
vehicle. For the benefit of those in-
terested Mr. Willis R. Knox, executive
secretary of the Lancaster Automobile
Club, writes as follows:
A sedan can be used to haul produce
with a passenger car license. The back
seats may be removed to do this.
Shelves may be put in. Packages may
be carried on the running board. A
platform or extension may be attached
