BUTLER.
Condition of Crops-Wheat looks remarkably
well and will be considerably more than an
average crop. Corn is quite backward for the
time of year. but may rally so far as to make
fair returns Something in the shape of
blighting is affecting oats, and the outlook for
good yield is poor. Rye is in excellent con-
diIIon ana the yield will be large, and the same
may be said of hay, which will furnish an un-
commonly heavy crop. With the exception of
berries fruit a failure in this county this year.
Business outlook-Good, and no complaints
of hard times or scarcity of money are heard
anywhere. The great majority of business men
are paying tEeir way as they go, to all appear
ances, and no one need suffer for want or en-
plOyment this year In the borough alone about
S25UO0 will be spent in sewering and paw
ing some of the principal streets, while the
building boom continues undIminished. Oil
operations bid fair TO be very active also.

Condition of Crops-In our county the pros
poets are good for exceedingly heavy grass
crop. The wheat prospect is very good. The
corn is well advanced for the season. The out
look is not very good for oats; 1t is short and
poor.

dull for the past three months, but the pros

better roads and fine crops.

never better. Corn is doing very well, and

be some grapes. Apples. cherries, plums and
peaches are failures.
Business Outlook-Good.
Condition Of Crops-Partcularly encourag-
ing Just now in this community. Wheat will De
an average crop, as will also rye. The recent
hot weather has done the corn an immense
amount of good, and it promises to be a very
fair yield. We will likely exceed last years
crop of hay, which was enormous. On account
of the continuous rains in the spring. the fruit
crop generally will be short.
Business Outlook-Very good; considerably
better that at this time last year. but at that
time business was very much retarded by rea-
SON of the food. Money is easy, collections
good and in every way the business outlook is
very satisfactory. A number of local causes
namely, the construction OF couple OF rail-
roads, coal and coke WORKS. etc.-promlse TO
make times very lively in this community and
northern Cambria for some time to come.
