Crop ProspectS.

Indications from reports of leading
farmers and fruit growers in all parts of
the county are that the grain crop will be
unprecedented. Wheat. rye and oats
never looked more promising. Many
farmers are growing more rye this season
than heretofore, owing to the increased
price it commands over wheat. Hay is
very short and, unless something unfor-
seen happens 10 improve its condition,
there will not be half crop.
Potatoes look well, but it i feared that
the unusual rainfall of May and June
will cause them to rot. Corn was nipped
by the frost during the latter part Of May
and the crop will not he as large as usual.
Many farmers have been compelled 10
turn their corn under on account of the
ruin wrought by the frost and sow buck
wheat in its place.
There viii loo no apples III this county
worth speaking Of The largest orchards
in the vicinity ofSomerset viii not pro-
duce ten bushels each ON an average.
Cherries and other small fruit will he
abundant. Saturdays hail storm did
much damage 10 grain in some localities.

sirty-Eishth Anniversary.

With the present number the HERALD
begins n new volume and enters upon the
sixiy-cighth year of its existence. We
have marked the event by dressing it out
in a new suit. Its old ''togs" looked
pretty neat, but we believe in renewing
them every few years and feel satisfied
that our readers viii appreciate the
change and will share in our pride over
its bright appearance. During the past
forty-three years the HERALD has been
owned and controlled by its present pro-
prietor. Under his hand il has steadily
increased its circulation, until to-day
1t Outnumbers that of any other paper
published in the county two to one.
The HERALD has consistently labored for
the best interests of the people of the
county Its political course has been in
accord with the principles of the party, TO
the support of which it has ever been
earnestly devoted. Its local and news
columns have been kept fresh and clean.
Encouraged by the past we shall ever
aim TO sustain the HERALD's well-earned
reputation rs the leading journal of Som
erset county.

Growing strawberries for Market,

For the past several years number of
farmers in the vicinity of Friedens have
been cultiyating Strawberries for market.
Most of them are disposed of in Johns
town. ON Saturday Mr.. Scott Mowry
shipped l. bushels and on Monday 20
bushels to dealers in that city. Somerset
county berries command a much better
price than berries brought from Mary
land and New Jersey, for the reason that
they can be delivered the same day they
are picked and are OF a superior quality.
Ex-Judge Shaver, of near Friedens,
who has one of the largest rawberry
patches in the county, has very small
crop the present season owing TO the dam
age done his plants by the heavy frOsts
during the latter part of April. About
Somerset, County-Treasurer Pugh, An
drew Woy, Uriah Trent and Albert Fer
ner, are the champion strawberry grow
ers. All Of the above gentlemen are
marketing berries Of the finest grade and
largest size ever seen here. Nearly all of
the berries from Mr.. Ferner's patch are
rs large ~ wSlnuts.
