Pennsylvania Apple Outlook.
Secretary of Agriculture Fred, Ras-
mussen reports that according to esti-
mates made by the Bureau of Statistics,
the Pennsylvania apple crop will approx-
imate 9,202,500 bushels compared with
13,000,000 bushels last year,
Lancaster county estimates 85 per cent
of a normal crop, Bucks 82 per cent,
Cumberland 81 per cent., York 81 per
cent., Berks 80 per cent. and Adams 8o
per cent. These are the highest per-
centages from individual counties, In
Butler, Clearfield and Venango the pros-
pect is only 20 per cent, of a normal
crop, The estimate for the State at
large is 57 per cent.
It is generally conceded that the un-
ustally cold weather that prevailed near
the close of April was the principal fact.
or that was instrumental in severely
damaging the fruit, It is thought that
damage was done by heavy rains when
the trees were in bloom thus preventing
proper fertilization.

to be Erected. A
Centre Hall will have a modern sil
mill, one that will prove a credit to the
town and give employment to a great
number of its young people. F. OQ.
Hartman, of Danville, who has built
and operated twenty-five mills in var-
ious parts of this state in the last twenty
years, is the man who will build and op-
erate the mill here.
The school board, at a special meet-
ing held on Tuesday night, sold a plot
of ground, known as the new school
ground, and situated to the rear of the
Miss Mary Fisher home, formerly the
William Mitterling home. The plotcon-
tains a trifle over one acre and was sold
for $250.00. Mr. Hartman is thoroughly
pleased with the site and on Tuesday
night gave assurance that work on the
foundation of the building will be com-
menced within two weeks.

The plant, when completed,
will be worth possibly trom $60,000 to

The citizens of the town who had the
opportunity to see and speak to Mr,

the man, whose energy, enthusiasm and
buoyancy appears to know no bounds
