ORDERS 2,000 CARS.
! As astep toward making every pos-
sible provision for handling the big
! coal traffic which is expected to move
i over the lines of the company in the
future, the management of the Wes-
tern Maryland Railway Company has
placed an order for 2,000 steel hopper
cars with the Pullman Company. The:
contract represents an expenditure of
approximately $2,600,000 and is one

than 1ast year when the yield was
| 58,520,000 bushels. The yield per acre
| will be 34.6 bushels. Sixteen per cent
of the crop was cut for ensilage.
Storms damaged the corn crop 10 per
cent. Buckwheat is estimated at
4,990,000 bushels to the acre. This is
a decline from last year.
The potato crop was badly affected
by the weather and there will be only
75 per cent of the average yield, the
estimate being 18,042,000 bushels, or |
sixty-six bushels to the acre. Last
year - the yield was 106 bushels to the
acre.
Fruit yields are given as below
normal, apples showing only 75 per
jo of the average crop.
