BARNS NOT BIG ENOUGH
TO HOLD IMMENSE CROPS

West Chester Pa, July 14.-Thel
crop conditions, according to farmers
of every section, are remarkably fine
throughout Chester county. THE only
complaint / have to make" said one OF
them to-day, lis that my barn is not
large enough to contain the croIs.
The hay harvest is about completed,
and is one of the best for many years,
and the farmers are now harvesting
the wheat This grain will give splen-
did yield, larger than for several sea
sons. The straw is heavy and the
grain we'll formed. Oats promises a
large yield, and the same may be said
of the corn, although the growth OF the
latter has been slow, on account OF the
cool weather last month. 1t is now
growing finely. There has not been a
complaint of damage Of any kind
among the grain. either from cutworms
or other pests, and the entire harvest
will be a splendid one.
Potatoes will yield heavily this Fall
and Of fruits there are indications of
large crop. The apple, pear, peach
plum and other fruit trees are heavil,
laden, and as It is well formed, thu
farmers are looking for something fin'
! from their orchards.
In Chester county the strawberr,
crop was one of the best for many years
The fruit was of the best quality, AM
the season was a lengthy one, tn
result being that none of the berrie
was lost, as is the case when the sea
son is a short one. The crOD in tn
county is estimated at over three mil
lion boxes.
