LARGE CROPS IN STATE,
Harvested ' Hoaviest ‘in
Mavy Years,
Farmors Crops
Following sn extended trip
throughout the commonwealth and the
receipt of information from every sec-
tion of the state, H. V. White, of
Bloomsburg, president of the State
Millers’ Association, secretary of State
College, and a man closely in touch
with the agricultural situation, makes
the statement that the crops this year
are among the largest, if not the
largest, ever harves'ed in Pennsyl-
vanis,
The oat crop is unquestionably, he
says, the largest on record, although a
recent storm did considerable damage
in some sections. The crop had been
harvested in the southern part of the
state, and that escaped the storm,
The early potato crop was good, and
the information White has received
from all parts of the state is that the
late potato erop never looked so well
From the Wayne county section,
down through York and Lancaster
counties and throughout the west-
ern part of the state, the same word
comes, and Mr. White gives it as his
opinion that a wonderfully large crop
of potatces will be harvested.
More than twenty per cent. greater
than in any year during the last ten
years will be the average yield of
wheat per scre. The Hessian fly has
done some damage in a few sections,
but this condition is pol general,
Then, too, the rye crop is the largest
and best Pennsylvania has ever had,
Locally speaking, the fruit yield is
the only small one, with the apple
crop very sm a'l.

this statement : ** Mrs. Harry Bibig-

Pannay BB, Agents Changed,
The railroad station agents on the
Lewisburg and Tyrone branch of the
Pennsy’s system received notice a few
days ago of a number of changes of
location for ite men, Five points will
be effected, and one clerk will be ad-
vanced to that of station agent,
The changes are these :
George W. Radel has been ordered
to Lykens, Mr. Radel has long been
wishing for this change. Lykens was
the home of his wife, who died a few
weeks ago, and it was his desire to be
stationed there for her pleasure, The
er family will profit,
William IL. Campbell, the present
agent at Bpriog Mills, will succeed
Mr. Radel at Coburn,
Jacob C. Lee, who has been located
at Linden Hall for several years, goes
to Bpring Mills, and Frank P. Ishler
will be transferred from Oak Hall
Station to Linden Hall. Thereis a
peculiar condition at these two points.
Oak Hall Station is termed a very
difficult point to manage from the sta-
tion agent's point of view. The ship-
ments made from there by Edward
Sellers are quite large in number, and
cover points in all states in the Union.
While there is a telegraph instrument
in the office, the agent is not paid for
this service. At Linden Hall the
agent is also a telegraph operator, and
while the shipments are also extensive
considering it a small outpost, most of
the freight is sant out in car-losd lots,
These conditions go to make Linden
Hall preferable to Oak Hall Station,
William F. Rossman, clerk at Mif-
flinburg, has been advanced to a station
agent, and when the change takes
place, will be found presiding over the
Oak Hall station. He has had con-
siderable experience as a clerk, and
will be abundantly able to figure out
innumerable rates on shipments from
his point.
These changes were mada to the ad-
of restoring his eyesight. Truly a
lamentable and pitiable position to be |
in, and for him the greatest sympathy |
is expressed by his many friends.” : |
Mr. Bibighaus is well known in|
Penns Valley and all over Centre|
county, haviog traveled through thls |
section as a representativeof a Phila-
delphia hardware firm for many years.
He has a large number of old Iriends
here who will be extremely sorry to |
learn that t his misfortune has befallen |
him.
