Dwelling Burned.

The splendid dwelling house on the
Charles Clayville farm about three miles
from Snow Hill was completely destroy
ed by fire last Thursday at noon. The
property belongs to Mrs. Clayville, who
resides in this town, and is tenanted by
Mr.. Edgar Dryden.
Mr.. Dryden and his family were at
dinner when some of the family discov-
cred the roof of the building in blaze.
The fire was burning with such ferocity
that it was useless to attemp to extin-
guish it with the means at hand. so Mr..
Dryden and his family turned their atten-
ton to saving their furniture, clothing.
and household effects. They were driven
out of the building before all could be
saved. The loss was partially covered
by insurance in the Somerset & Wor-
cester Company.

Record Wheat Crop Due

A wheat crop the like of which never
has been harvested will be gathered in
the United States this season, if condi-
tons indicated by the Government s
June crop report continue throughout
the growing season. Agricultural ex-
perts estimate the crop this year will
amount to 764. POI. s57 bushels, an in
crease of 6S, S4S, S57 bushels over that
gathered last year.
OF winter wheat the indicated yield is
almost $50, 900, 600 bushels, and that of
spring wheat 2S4, 900, 900 bushel. While
winter wheat will probably yield less to
the acre this year than the average for
five years, spring wheat will show an
increased yield of two bushels per acre
over 1910 and slight increase over the
five-ycar average yield.
The condition of the spring wheat crop
in June was full point above the 10
year average. while winter wheat was
below the average. but better that in
1910 at this time.
