Description:Excerpt from Fourteenth Annual Report of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture: 1908 Sir: I respectfully submit my Sixth Annual Report as Secretary of Agriculture of the Commonwealth, the same being the 14th Annual Report of this Department. The year has been crowned with an abundant yield of the fruits of the soil, notwithstanding the fact that over the' greater portion of the State one of the severest droughts ever known to our people prevailed during the portion of the season when some of our farm creps should have been making their largest development. The drought set in about the time of wheat harvest and continued until late in the autumn. Many of the small streams upon which farmers depended for watering their stock dried up during the latter part of the summer, and in very many instances livestock had to be driven a number of miles for their water supply. Great fears were enter tained for the potato and corn crops, and the final (result, as seen when these crops were harvested, proved that Pennsylvania. Farmers have learned how to preserve the moisture provided by the winter snows and the rain fall of the spring and early summer. When the corn crop of the entire State shows an average of forty bushels per acre and the potato crop makes an equally good record, with scarcely rainfall enough at any period during the growing season to moisten the surface of the earth to the depth of an inch, it is apparent that intelligent culture and the skillful application of the methods employed in recent years for the conservation of soil mois ture will go a great way in overcoming adverse natural conditions.
