"A blight Is affecting the oats crop In
some parts of Bucks county, which from
present appearances, will materially de-
crease the yield OF grain as well as that of
straw, while in some localities the Blouse"
is to be found in numbers on maturing
wheat heads. This insect Is also said to
be cutting the blades OF growing corn up
in Solebury township, but is not doing
any great harm to this cereal. Potatoes,
where Paris green has been frequently APP
piled, are looking well. The grass crop,
contrary to expectations early In the sea-
son, will not yield an over abundance.
On the whole, crops will be up TO the
average, the frequent rains and warmer
weather being conducive to their growth
and future maturity.
In last weeks Democrat appears an
advertisement for charter for the COM
pany that Is soon to commence boring for
oil In the region prospected In Nockamix-
on township. Contracts for carting have
been entered Into, and the derricks, pumps
and boring apparatus are expected to ar
rive at the Doylestown station in few
days. The gentlemen who are directing
the enterprise were looking over the
ground last week. Whether from policy
or private interest, the site Of their first
operations is kept secret. It's likely,
however, that either the farm OF Anthony
Kimmenhour or that Of DIR. q. w. Grim,
will be selected. The operators say the
surface indications are that oil In large
quantities can be found. The prospect OF
a new railroad being built through that
section OF the county has induced the
company to begin operations sooner than
they otherwise would. II oil should be
found in paying quantities, this In itself
will, no doubt, be sufficient induce
ment for either the Lehigh Valley or the
Easton and Philadelphia company to
build their road through that section OF
the country. The Improbable lands Of
Nockamixon may yet be as profitable as
any land In the county.
