«00 Big a Crop.
It looks very much as though Nevin
W. Meyer, of near Boalsburg, was get- |
ting too big crops, at least the loft in
his barn broke down under the weight
of nine four-horse loads of oats that |
had been stacked there. The crash!
+ came Sunday morning when Mr. and
Mrs. Meyer were miikiog the cows,
and lucky it was it did uot happen a
few days earlier, at which time both
men and horses would have more
than likely been burird under the
falling timbers. .
A number of implements snd a
wagon loaded with flax were In the
barn floor, and while these were cover-
ed, no damages was done except to Lhe
ladders and fanning mill,
