THE CROPS IN BUCKS COUNTY, Pa
The harvest with the exception of oats is
uearl y gathered into the barns in Bucks
county, Pa, says the Doylestown Demo-
crat. The wheat is fair average crop,
and the farmers have had favorable
time to get it in. Neither HessiaD fiy
nor xeevil has troubled it. The hay crop
is heavy, and is mostly been got in safely.
Oats are ripening fast, and will be ft to
Gu; in few days. Corn is coming Oh
finely, and, should the weather prove ia
vorable, and frost not come too early, aD
average crop, and probably little more,
may be expected Potatoes are doing
very well. From present indications, all
the necessarie. Of life will be abundant.
