RECORD YIELD OF CROPS, Oats and Barley Surpass All Other Years fa their Ouatput—Haaner Oaticok for the Prodact of Farms, This year’s grain crops in the Unit- ed States will be far In excess of last year's yield, it is estimated by the de- partment of agriculture. It will be better than the average crop for the last ten years, and in the case of a number of products will make a new record. The country’s corn crop, estimated at 2811,000000 bushels, will be the largest in the nation’s history, with the exception of the years 1906 and 1910, the former being the banner year with 2 927 000 000 bushels, As for the wheat crop, estimated at 680 000,- bushels, that will rank fifth in siza for the last twenty years, RECORD OUTPUT OF OATS The oat crop, 1,207,000,000 bushels, will ba the largest the country has gatbered, surpassing by 21,000,000 bushels that oft 1910, the previous record. Iu barley, too, this year will establish a new record, the estimated yield of $202 000,000 bushels being 24 - 000,000 bushels greater than that of 1906, the previous best year. The yield of rye, 35,000,000 bushels, will equal that of 1910, the former record Year, Of potatoes, which will amount this year to 371 000,000 bushels, ohly 1909, with its 389 000,000 bushels, produced a larger yield. Value of this year’s crops of corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye and potatoes, based on wholesale prices of Dscember 1, 1911, reach a total of $3,523,000 000, These crops may insure lower prices for food products in the next twelve mouths, especially in those articles that have been selling at pearly pro- bibitive figures. The effect of the large crops has already been seen in a decline of 8 to 10 cents a bushel in grain prices since the first week in July. Other crops included in the report are : Buckwheat—Condition, 58 4; acre- aze, yield, 193; produc- tion, 16 000,000.

In order to have its plant in the very best condition when the new common battery central office is open- ed, the Bell Telephone Company will start to work at once on new coustruce- tion and rearrangements on a great deal of its outside wire. It is expected that the new office will opened about December 1st. According to W, 8. Mallalieu, Local Manager, the Com- pany is anxious to have everything in such shape that Bellefonte will have a telephone service second to no other city of ita 8lzain the country. Much of thewverhead wiring will be replaced by cable, Altogether over 12200 feet of cable will be placed and in addition there will be about 265 feet of under- ground cable, The placing of the wires in cable in which from 25 to 200 or 300 wires are grouped together and sheathed in a lead coat, provides a much better and more certain service as there is no danger of trouble from storms and wind, Io addition there will be a great deal of rewiring in order to provide for the semi-selective ringing which, it believed, will greatly please the subscribers. The total cost of this new construction will | amount to over §11,000. Mr. Mallalieu stated that he expected a growth of at least 150 new subscribers us soon as the | work is finished.
