This County Is Quite a Food Raiser Nowadays
Statistics showing that Dauphin is
away up among the nineteen coun-

yield greater than the state average
\u25a0and that it leads thirty-one counties \u25a0which had yields of 100 bushels of
potatoes to the acre and even more
were issued to-day by the State De-
partment of Agriculture In a crop
bulletin.
The bulletin says in part:
"The highest county records were
obtained by Lancaster with an aver-
age yield of sixty bushels of wheat
to an acre.
year the records
show that Lancaster produced 65 bushels to an acre. Delaware coun-
ty took second honors with an aver-
age yield of 56.4 bushels to an acre,
while Philadelphia county showed 54
bushels and Lebanon county made 62.3 bushels. Yq'rk county ranked
lifth with 51.8 bushels and Adams
county made an even 50 bushels.

47.3; Dauphin, 47: Berks, 46.9;
Bucks. 46; Montgomery, 46; Frank-
Jin, 45; and Schuylkill, 45.
"In most of these counties the
average yield was not equal to that
of a year ago, but the increased acre-
age sown in answer to the govern-
ment call for greater corn produc-
tion brought about large total pro-
duction. The fifteen courtties showing 45 bushels or better, had an
average this year of 49.6 bushels to
an acre, as compared with 51 bushels
last year. The nineteen counties ex-
ceeding the state average showed sui
average yield of 4 8 bushels to an
acre as compared with 48.6 bushels
last year.
"Yast year when the potato crop
was extremely short only four coun-
ties showed an average yield of over
one hundred bushels to an acre and
two of these counties are not num-
bered among the leaders this year.
"The honors for the highest aver-
age yields per acre were carried off
by Dauphin and Schuylkill counties
which showed an average of 135
bushels to an acre. Columbia county took third place witn an average of
129 bushels and Greene county was
fourth with 126 bushels. I.,ehigh and
Union counties showed 124 bushels to an acre and Northampton made
