-—Harrisburg. |
Unusually bright prospects for the |
1917 peach and apple crops are indl- |
cated in the April reports of the crop |
correspondents of the Pennsylvania |
Department of Agriculture. The con-
dition of the peach blossoms indicates |
splendid yields, and, while the coun- |
try faces a shortage of grain crops, |
the Pennsylvania orchards show every :
promise of a bumper fruit year.
While the United States faces a |
short wheat and rye crop, the condi- |
tion of the winter wheat and rye in
the ground in Pennsylvania on April
1 gave every indication that, agricul
turally, the Keystone State would
again come forth in an emergency and
raise almost a normal crop of both
grains.
The prospect of a nomal peach crop
at this time a year ago was about 63
per cent, but present reports indicate
that the crop will be above 80 per |

Twenty-two counties report that in-
dications are that the apple crop of
1917 will be a normal one and the
general average for the State is 97 |
per cent. Reports indicate that the
condition of the apple trees and the
blossoms throughout the State are
splendid and that the April prospects
were 11 per cent. ahead of the condi-
tion at this time a year ago, when
there was promise of about 88 per |
cent. of a normal yield. The southern
apple belt shows every
a crop of 100 per cent.
while prospects in
counties, famous for their Baldwins,
are also close to the normal yield.
Grading Adds to Importance.
or better,
With the proposed new apple grad-|
ing and packing laws, which are now
before the Legislature, the coming sea-
son promises to be one of the most im-
portant commercially in the history of
the State. Pennsylvania produces ap-
ples that have no superior anywhere
in the country and, with a standard
of grading, they will doubtless
mand a big market throughout the
country this year.

wheat in the ground on April 1 was

800 crop correspondents indicated
splendid growth and development and
led ‘to the hope of almost an average
crop for harvest in the fall.

The big wheat producing counties
dn the central and southeastern end
of the State reported wheat in good
condition and a great deal of the fear
of heavy loss through the frosts in
February and March was wiped away
with the splendid growth that was
shown: in the fields. The number of
weeks of snow protection for the
grain ranged from four to 13, with
the average of the State about seven.

London.—Replying to questions in |
the House of Commons Sir Edward
Carson, First Lord of the Admiralty,
said that as the number of German
submarines had been increased
danger to shipping must be expected
to increase in proportion. As a mat-
ter of fact, during April, he said, the
loss to shipping in the English Chan- |
nel had been less than in any preced-
ing three months. This was partly
due to the increase of submarines in
other areas and partly as the result of |
an increased number of patrol boats in

If You Want a Car That's
Tried and True .
I have taken the agency for the Maxwell Automobiles, which is one of the
best equipped and easiest riding cheap cars on the market. It is by no
means a new car, but one that has been tried for years and has proven
satisfactory. Any one in the market for such a car will readily be oon
vinced of its merits after a demonstration which will be cheerfully given.
I not only sell cars, but I am prepared to take care of the people to whom
I sell, which should not be overlooked by persons buying cars. I am at your
service Sundays or night time 2s well as during the day. None but com-
petent mechanics employed. K your car needs attention, give this sarage
a trial I also handle the : 7]
