In Berks it is 72 per cent, and Lehigh 83 per cent, The tobacco acreage has been increas ed ten per cent. and the condition of the crop in gb per cent. of an average. Only 77 per cent, of the young turkeys raised in average years are reported on the farms this season. Reports of yields of 100 bushels to the acre of oats have been recorded from Chester county. Cumberland county wheat that has been threshed is reported as running light to the acre. Spring wheat in some of the counties where it was tried for the first time is reported to be in fine condition, from Potter county comes the report of considerable damage done by frost on August 1, FOR BALE «One top bugey, spring wagon, riding saddle, and work harness Will sell cheap. Gertrude M, Spangler, Centre Hall, Nn State Crops In Good Condition. » With the exceptions of potatoes the during the early part of August gave every indication of another bountiful harvest. Reports reaching the Pennsyl vania Department of Agriculture from its hundreds of crop correspondents in every township in the State show that the wheat is producing well and that oats will be one of the best crops in years. The weather has been condu- cive of good corn growth and the largest acreage that has ever been planted in the State will be harvested in the fall, Early conditions were not favorable and the crop will not reach record produc- tion, The Bureau of Crop Statistics in its August report says : Weather conditions since the breaking up of winter have been ideal for wheat and the indications are that the yield per acre will be approximately 16.75 bushels. Very little damage was done by the Hessian fly this year and prac- tically no damage while the grain was in shock. The wheat was generally thin on the ground but the heads were large and well filled Reports say that the kernels are large and the quality good, 1s are at the present time that 1€ tal yi 1d will be 23,797,000 bushels.

Or you have fur. nished enough money to give him a complete outfit of winter and summer clothing, including shoes and stockings, slicker and overcoat and blankets, with enough left over to arm him with a good revolver, You have done that much to beat back the Hun, It takes $35 more to arm him with a rifle with a bayonet on it, and if you buy a second $100 bond you furnish him this rifle and 1,000 cartridges for it ; and there will still be enough of your money left to purchase a good sized bomb to throw in a dugout, or demolish a ma- chine gun together with the Huns oper- ating it. ————— A —BA—T—— One Million Dollars for Fire Fighting. The President has authorized a loan of one million dollars to the Forest Ser- vice for fire-fighting expenses, to meet the serious emergency conditions in the National Forests of the Northwest and the Pacific Coast States. The loan was made from the special defense fund of fifty million dollars placed at the dispos- al of the President by Congress. It is recognized that the protection of the Na- tional Forests is an important and es sential war activity, Forestry officials regard the present fire season in the Northwest as in some ways the most serious with which the Government has ever had to cope. Early drouth, high winds, electrical storms, labor shortage, and depletion of the regular protective force as a result of a war have combined to make the fire conditions unprecedently bad. eg Piano Exhibit at the ENCAMPMENT & FAIR LOCKHART PIANOS AND PLAYERS will be exhibited again this year at the Grange Encamp- ment & Fair, Centre Hall, in the Bricker building.

Represented by GEO, E. MEYER, Packers’ Profits Are Regulated The public should understand that the profits of the packers have been limited by the Food Administration since November 1, 1917. For this pur- pose, the business of Swift & Company is now divided into three classes: Class 1 includes such products as beef, pork, mutton, oleomargarine and thers that are essentially animal ducts. Profits are limited to 9 cent of the capital employed in » departments, (including sur- i ¥), or not 8 C0 nA Pell +d two and a half cen doliar of sales. arrewrad mon i wed mone . 1 includes the soap, give, f~rtilizer, and other departments more or less associated with the meat business. Many of these de- partments are in competition win te businesses whose proiiis 8 2 outside bu 4 are not limited. Profits in this clas ere restricted to 15 per cent of th capital empioyed. Class 3 includes outside investments, such as those in stock yards, and the operation of packing plants in foreign countries. Profits in this class are not limited, Total profits for all department together in 1918 will probably be between three and four per cent on gn increased volume of sales. 1 The restrictions absolutely guar- antee a reasonable relation between live stock prices and wholesale meat prices, because the packer’s profit can- not possibly average more than a fraction of a cent per pound of product. a Rogie me 7% = 2 PR Since the profits on meat (Class 1) are running only about 2 cents cn each collar of sales, we have to depend on the profits from soap, glue, fertilizer (Class 2, also limited) and other depart- ments, (Class 3) to obtain reasonable earnings on capital.
