WHEAT CROP GOES
OVER 1914 MARK
Interesting Figures Issued on
the Production in Pennsylva-
MIA by State Official

| In spite of unfavorable weather,
shortage of harvest hands and the raw
ages of the Hessian fly the wheat
crop of the Keystone State will run
ahead of that of last year which was
one of the record breaking. The crop
estimated by L. II. While, chief of the
Department of Agricultures bureau of
statistics, shows 24,s2S,OOO bushels or
10 bushels to the acre. This estimate
is conservative, made from first hand
reports received since the last week
of September and from districts where
threshing has largely been completed.
The crop last year was 24,200, 600
bushels.
The quality of the wheat as well as
rye and oats is a little below the aver
| age condition. This is due to the wet
weather that prevailed at harvest time
and while much of the grain was
standing in the fields. 1t was feared
| at that time that the damage would
be greater. Less than two per cent
of the 1914 wheat is now in the pro-
ducers' hands. The price last winter
and Spring was too attractive to per-
NIT much wheat being held
| The total production of rye is esti-
mated at 4,672, 900 bushels or 1000
bushels less than last year. The pro-
duction will be 17.2 bushels per acre,
the acreage being three per cent. less
than in 1914.
Oats will far exceed the production
of 1914. The estimate of the 1915
yield is 43,095,00 bushels against a.
117,000 last year. The average is 80
bushels per acre. The corn crop, how
ever, will be less than last year when
i . l.. - i . u n - n.
yield per acre will be S4.6 bushels.
Sixteen per cent. of the crop was cut
for ensilage. Storms damaged the
corn crop 10 per cent. Buckwheat is
estimated at 4,990,000 bushels, an
average of Is bushels to the acre.
This is decline from last year.
The potato crop was badly affected
| by the weather and there will be only
75 per cent. of the average yield, the
estimate being 1S,042,000 bushels or
| &c bushels to the acre. Last year the
yield was 100 bushels to the acre.
Tobacco acreage is given as 5 per
cent. smaller than last year with an
estimate for 1915 of 1857 pounds to
the acre or a total production of S9,-
$4,000 pounds, a decrease of 5000,
| 600 pounds.
The fruit yields are given as below
normal, apples showing only 75 per
cent. of the average crop. Prices of
peaches and pears are given as less
| than last year.
Owing to heavy rains it is stated
that the pasture lands are in splendid
condition, which will enable livestock
to start the winter in fine state.

promises to be highly interesting.
Few Outsiders have an appreci-
able idea of the work carried on in
organizations Of Camp Fire Girls;
how every simple deed performed in
the hcme counts as an honor in this
order; how girls are taught to sew,
to make pottery, to weave baskets,
to bake and cook, and such other
things as will prove well worth
knowing in later years when they
have homes and families of their
own to care and do for. In witness
ing ANY Girl the audience will
learn something of these things
which will be of interest.
Miss Eva Mills will appear in the
title role-"Any Girl" The setting
of the first act is camp of Camp
Fire Girls in the woodland. ANY
Girl" wandering through these
woods, comes upon the camp. She
is very lonely girl, living in the
country, and is anxious that the city

the things thew know how to do.
