The reports received up to June 1 indicate that the condi tion of the corn crop as compared with June 1 in the last ten years is 104 per cent. This means that it is better than usual and it is estimated that the acreage given to corn was 1,521520 against 1,312,000 acres given to wheat. Franklin county was the first coun ty in the State to start planting corn this year, the first grains being put in before April 30. Wayne county wa3 the last. The northern tier did not start planting until about May 15. The corn crop reports generally are excellent. While the wheat crop Is reported as 92 per cent, of an average and one per cent, of the area sown last Fall is reported as having been plowed down, is a marked improvement over April 1, and it is believed that It will show about 15.3 bushels to the acre, which would mean approximately 20,000.000 bushels or 4.000,000 less than last year, provided weather and flies do not cause further damage. tiye is 9 4 per cent, as compared with aver age, and the acreage is 271.600, but the condition of oats is nearly up to par. Estimates are that over 32,000- 000 bushels of oats will be raised. Spring weather conditions knocked out the chances for big hay crops, al though the yield may be fair in some sections. The worst damage appears to have been done to fruit crops of various kinds. Reports received at the bu- j reau of statistics show that apple prospects are 78 per cent.; pears, 74 per cent.; peaches, 84 per cent.; plums, 79 per cent.; apricots, 86 per cent., and cherries, only 75 per cent, of an average for ten years. The cherry season has' been marked by cold weather and much rain. The strawberry prospects on June 1 were but 86 per cent, of a ten-year average. As a matter of fact prospects for fruit have materially decreased since May 1 and the frosts in the latter part of that month did much harm, except in the southeastern part of the State. In the western section it damaged grain and vegetables as well as fruit to an alarming extent. The foot and mouth disease is re sponsible in great measure for the decline in the number of young pigs and lambs. The quarantine and re pressive measures caused heavier loss than expected. The number is 95 per cent, of a ten-year average. Pasture conditions are not up to the average throughout the State, al though some farming localities show good fields. Particular care will be taken in the July estimates to secure fuller infor mation on the corn and fruit crops. Schwab Offered Entire Output of Plant to France Special to The Telegraph Paris, June 14.—Senator Humbert. France's greatest political army re former. now leading the munitions campaign, today asserted in the Jour nal that he had outwitted the Ger man agents in obtaining an offer of the entire output of the Bethlehem Steel plant exclusively for the Allies, during last August. "I did it," he writes, "without seek ing financial control of the company, without buying stock or consciences, but solely relying on the world-wide sympathies that our dear country commands. "When the Minister of Marine en trusted me with the mission to the United States, I met Charles M. Schwab. We were both self-made men and both had had a tremendous struggle in early life. A close sym pathy spontaneously sprang up be tween us. "Schwab authorized me to place at the disposal of the French Govern ment the entire resources of the Beth lehem Steel Corporation arid the num erous other enterprises he controls. Our mutual verbal band sufficed and I had no need to offer $100,000,000 as the German agents did nine months later. As I visited the immense Beth lehem works, inspecting the miles of shops with two of the directors, one said: " 'All this wealth, this force, these machines, munitions, guns and work ers are at your disposal." "Later I will tell why France un fortunately failed to take advantage of this generous and magnificent offer." Philadelphia K. of C. Visit Gettysburg Battlefield Special to The Telegraph Gettysburg.
