Despite thelackof labor and a rather unlavorable planting sea son it is' estimated that the corn acreage in Pennsylvania this sea son is somewhat lartrer than last year when G5.2G0 883 bushels were produced on 1,000,586 acres. Reports from all counties show that the farmers made every ef fort to get out a maximum aver age of corn, but poor seed and wet weather proved a hindrance in some sections. Tbe same con ditions have made the prospects for a bumper crop below normal as the fields of c.rn do not meas ure up to the condition that tbey should at this season of the year and the cold weather has Dot been conducive of goo I corn growing. Exparts who have traveled over tbe State estimate that the con dition of corn is no about eigh ty per cent, of an average crop, but tbey say that with a late fall the production may bo much bet'.or thin is now r xpct'.'d. Thorn is every indication of a big incease in the acreage of buckwheat and it is being tried in many sections whore tbe farm ers weie unable to get in corn early in the season.
