BUMPER CROPS Of
WHEAT AND CORN
What the Report Shows For This Year
and Should Reduce Cost Of


New York Sept, 27.--With corn
crop that is far in excess OF all prev
ious records, and a wheat yield that
has never before been euualled In this
country. according to the government
statistics. the farmers OF the United
States are today enriched by the tidy
sum OF nearly $7000.000,000 with
which to meet the high cost of living
during the coming year.
And one Of the best things about
agricultural prosperity in this coun-
try financial writer's say, Is that Ii
has way OF coming when other
agrarian nations are in the grip OF
famine. The result Is that the great
crop IN the United States helps to
feed hte other countries OF the world
whose fields have lain sodden at har-
vest or have burned In unrelieved sun
shine
This Is the way the bumper crop
measures up:
71o.000.0o0 bushels OF wheat, valu-
ed at 5000, 100000.
300,000.000 bushels Of corn. valu.

BERKELEY SPRINGS, Oct. 3.-As
proof of the fallacy OF no business

ing for a stranger to drop around the
station at this place between IL
o'clock in the morning and O'Clock
i'm the afternoon to see the teams
fighting for turn to get to the cars
to load and unload their wagons.
This little branch railroad is haul.
ing from 25 TO 40 loads of freight
daily and the yard is continually
blocked on account of insufficient
tracks to place the cars. Every sand
mill on the line is working overtime
and the trackage in the yard is SO
limited that there is not room to
place the cars after they have arrived
in town.
The railroad company has had a
large force of carpenters at work en-
largihg the freight house here and
as soon as that is completed the work,
men will start in on the station, which
is to be enlarged and made more
modern in every respect.
Mr.. Benjamin's carpenter camp is
here for the purpose of erecting a
water tank which, when completed,
will supply water for the station as
well as the engine.
A large force of hands is at work
at Hancock station preparing to move
the track at the west end of the plat
form over to the westbound siding
The new penstalk has been erected
and the old one will be taken down
in a few days.
