* In spite of a world wheat ear-
plus and restrictions is virtually
every country against wheat imports,
Pennsylvania wheat Is constantly
finding new foreign markets. The
wheat raised in Pennsylvania makes
the best pastry flour and bakers all
over the world are demanding it.

W. Fleisher will have charge of the
program and will be assisted by
secretaries of the various departments of work. A good attsndance
is desired.
—Regardless of the prolonged
drought that prevailed during the
greater part of July, there is good
prospects for an excellent crop of
corn. As one gees motoring through
the farming sections the impression
is gained that the yield of corn will
be about normal in most parts of
Pennsylvania. An almost five-inch

placed much moisture in the ground.

of which there are a number, inform
us that they have not yet contracted for the erection of a single new
dwelling house in town during the
preseat season, although they are
busy every day making repairs to
dwellings and places of business.
While there is not a vacant dwelling
house in the borough, it would appear that new houses would be erect-
ceted, if not fee rent, then by some
who desire a home. In the good old
days every one strived to .become'a
home owner, but now they want aa
automobile, which in the final analysis is aa never-ending bill of expense. Young   man be wise, get   m
TOURIST BUSINESS BOOMING
Thousands of* Motorists Sea Pennsylvania Pat) First Taste
Motor tourist business is booming
again la Pennsylavnia, aad early
predictions of a record-breaking sea-
sea are being borne out, according
to records of the tourist bureau of
the State Department of Highways
released by Secretary Warren Van
Dyke.
Early in June—after receipt of
more than 400 requests for road!
maps and touring information during April and May—Secretary Van
Dyke predicted that this year would
see a marked revival of automobile
touring in the Baste.
Many of these motorists are pouring Pennsylvania for the first time.
Some come from the prairie states,
while others are from foreign countries, in fact they come from all
sections of the compass. Pennsylvania's mountain scenery and beautiful valleys are beyond compare
and those who motor over oar grand
highways for the first time marvel
at the beautiful picture that nature
has prepared here in the Old Keystone State. There is sn ever-varied
change from the time motorists arrive at the western boundry until the
eastern part of the commonwealth
is reached. What they see is an
never-ending sensation to them. The
high walled mountains, the beautiful mountain streams, rich farms and
beautiful wooded section. Is It any
wonder that motorists from he low
lying prairie states go into ecstacy
over the wonders to be seen here in
Pennsylvania! Yes, the motorists
from other states enjoy the beauties of the commonwealth aad they
should be given a hearty welcome
wherever they appear and told of
what there is ta store far them.
From a historic viewpoint Pennsyl-
countless etawaa-^^ i -5 ?
During June and July detailed information en tours, both in aad out
of Pennsylvania, wss provided in
answer to 300 requests. Of this total 147 inquiries were answered by
telephone; 48 were supplied in person at the Tourists Bureau; 61
tours were provided by mail to
Pennsylvanians; and.44 by mail to
persons residing put of the State.
During the same months nearly 25,-
000 road maps were distributed by
the Bureau. Approximately 7000
were shipped in bulk for distribution
by motor clubs, chambers of commerce, and other civic organizations;
more than 17,000 were distributed
over the counter in the Bureau; and
nearly 600 were mailed to individuals in thirty-six states, the District
of Columbia, Canada and Germany.
Every effort is made to minimise
inconvenience resulting from regular highway maintenance work and
detours necessitated by the large
number of contracts now under way.
As a result, despite many detours,
traffic moves with comfort snd dispatch. Even "blow-ups" of the recent heat wave—when extreme temperatures taxed expansion joints beyond their limits aad bulges resulted—have caused little inconvenience
since repairs were made promptly
and with little annoyance to travelers.
As an extra service, oiling is announced a week in advance of application snd no oil is placed imme-
diatly prior to week-end or holidays.
Highways are oiled over only one-
half their wdth at a time.
More than 7000 detour bulletins
are mailed each week for posting in
hotels, garages, service tations, etc.,
so that travelers may have accurate
information on current road conditions in every part of the state.
