Crop Reports

The general summary for the
United States for the week ending
July 18th shows that corn has every
where made splendid growth and IS
much improved, though generally
backward, and in sections of the
country weedy. EARLY planted is
now in tassel in the more northerly
districts, and considerable of the
crop has received final cultivation
Rust in oats is reported in several
western states, but good yields are
the rule in the far west and light
yields in the states of the Ohio
Valley.
There will be only a fair crop of
apples in most of the principal apple
states.
A heavy yield of clover and timo-
thy is being secured in the central
valleys.

that Mott street bridge will be open

Not often do we see it spit snow in

Where the many darkies pick,
Every plant its blossom yields

Little pickanlnnies too
Sme no higher than my knee,
With their woody braids askew,
How they stared, round-eyed at me.
As my pretty Dolly this time,
Picked her dainty way along,
While the darkies voices rhyme
With the many wild birds song.
Far away the setting sun,
Ger the grove its shadows cast
And the long days work is done
Freedom from their toll nt last.
To the cotton house they come,
Bringing each his basket filled.
Soon they now are going home,
When the weight has all been billed
To each one some kindly word,
Speaks the master ere they go.
Naugbt but commendation heard
Well he cares for them, they know
Then we turn our horses heads,
Once more toward the shady grove.
Where the sun, departing, sheds,
Dancing rays that ever move.
And the stately golden-rod,
Gently swaying in the breeze,
Gives us each n parting nod,
As we pass beneath the trees.

sNAKoIoe1sTs DISAGREE
The Man who has En- in his Boots
Might Decide

Snake stories are ripe now and
hardly a day passes but some one
has a tale to relate. "Snake editors"
have recently shown such a disorep-
anoy that the PRESS would like
some 'snakologist" to explain.
In McClure's Magazine for July,
under the title of "The Story of the
Snake, " B. A. w. Roiker describes
snakes, in which the victor swallows
his antagonist alive. He reviews
some prevalent ideas concerning
the snakes, which he pronounces
unfounded and thus speaks of one
Of these:
"Another popular fallacy is that
a rattlesnake will commit suicide
when hopelessly cornered, by sink
ing its own fangs in its own sides.
No poisonous snake is susceptible to
the poison of its own kind. Two
cobras in fight know this. Neither
reptile tries to strike the other. The
contest is a live swallowing match. :"
On the other hand, a writer on
"Rattlesnake Lore" in the New
York Tribune, Sunday Supplement
of 2s, contains the story Of a snake
hunt in Connecticut, by the "Shag.
ticote Rattlesnake Club, " in which
"George Cogswell, the veteran rat
tlesnake hunter of the Shagticote
mountains, corners a large rattle
snake and leases him until he seeks
relief by shufling of the mortal
coil. The act of suicide is thus
described
"rhe ST AXE quivered from his fat
head to his now silent rattle. It
was a invulsive little culver. The
scaly skin drew over the glistening,
beadlikc eyes, the neck arched itself
into graceful curve. and then, like a
flash, the diamond shaped head shot
like dart at the body and in a
second the fangs of the rattler had
dealt the blow that killed him.
"And the tail of the rattler did
not wriggle when the body was
touched, like the tails of the snakes
we had killed.
mo, they never do" explained
Cogswell, when they kill them
selves they are dead all over and
their tails don't wait till the sun
sets before they die. Z"
In such disagreement, perhaps,
some local snake specialist can throw
further light on the subject from
his own observation.

NEW T6PoeRAPH1o MAPS

vsyed-one Needed Here

veyed-One Needed Here
The United States Geological Sur
vey has recently issued number Of
topographic atlas sheets Of portions
Of Pennsylvania hitherto unnapped
by the Survey. Three Of these sheets,
known as the Wernersville, Boyer
town, and Slatington, cover the
regions in the neighborhoOd Of Read
ing and include parts Of Berks,
Iehigh, Montgomery and Sehuylkill
counties, lying tu the southeast Of
the Schuylkill anthracite coal region.
A fourth map, the Chanbersburg,
shows the country surrounding the
towns of Chanbersburg Greencastle,
and WaynesbOrO, IN the southern
part of the state. These maps are
the result Of the cooperative survey
between the Federal Bureau and the
State uf Pennsylvania. They are on
a scale of approximately / inch to
the mile and exhibit with unusual
accuracy aud wealth Of detail the
features uf tile regions represented.
One Of their most interesting and
useful features Is the admirable man
ner in which the marked inequalities
Of the country are shown. This is
accomplished by means Of contours,
or lines running through points Of
equal elevation, at intervals of 90
feet. So carefully are the surveys
made that it is possible to distinguish
the slopes, grades, and shapes Of the
hills and valleys, and even of the
small ravines etched by the streams
on the mountain sides. The work is
carried to such degree Of refinement
that the locations of individual
houses in the country districts are
shown. On the Slatington sheet the
sites of the slate, iron and cement
industries south of Slatington are
indicated.

What would we say of the manu-
facturer, asks Agricultural Advertis.
ing, who built a fire under his
boiler, then went off and allowed
the fire to die out, expecting his
mill to run all day on that one fire?
And yet there are advertisers who
make lone time" splurges or take
"trial ads" and then, because
business does not keep them up
nights, say advertising doesn't
pay" How about the farmer who
plants corn and then sits down to
wait for the crop? He would be
expected to say that farming
doesn't pay" And yet there are
advertisers who plant the seed of an
ad and think their work is done.
To such people advertising does not
pay and never will Advertising is
the fire under the business boiler,
which must bo tended and kept hot
to produce the results sought. 1t is
the seed planted which, properly
nurtured and tended, will spring up
and bear fruit "some twenty, some
sixty and some one hundred-fold. "

London Church eOors

A church census of London, max

attend two services on Sunday,
shows that one in 525 Of the inhabit-

It looks as though missionaries we're
badly needed 10 that city. The
Church Of England has the largest
attendance and the Non. Conform
