Reports from crop correspone ents of the Department of Agri culture show that the condition of the wheat in the south western counties is the best in the State. Washington, Westmoreland and Somerset counties report wheat above normal condition and Fay ette county wheat is above the average. The Greene and Bed ford county wheat is only slight ly below average. How many bushels of corn mu9t you raise on your land in order to pay six per cent, on the money you have invested? Ex perts have answered this ques tion a3 follows: A yield of 36 bushels to an acre on $50 land; 42 bushels per acre on $100 land; 60 busheb per acre on $350 land and 72 bushels per acre on land valued at $375 per acre. The counties in which com mercial fertilizers are used most extensively in Pennsylvonia are; Carbon, Chester, Columbia, Dela ware, Franklin, Lehigh, North ampton, Philadelphia, and York. Statistics of the Department of Agriculture Bhow that there are fifty per cent, less farmers in the State fattening steers for spring market than a year ago. Only five per cent, of the farmers of the State are feeding for the spring market Westmoreland county ranks first in the number of pure bred stallions in the State and Tioga county has the largest number of pure bred bulls. Statistics of the Department o f Agriculture show seventy eight per cent of the farmers of the State using commercial fertilizers. This is a ten per cent decrease over a year ago and is probably due to the increasd cost of fertilizers, lack of potash, home mixing and an increased use of lime. Richard W.
