BIG CHESTER COUNTY CROPS.

WEST CHESTER, Aug. 31.-Crop
conditions for the late season in
Chester county were mover better
than at the present time and farmers
in all sections have had a prosperous
season. Every real farmer has made
money and has more TO come when
the corn is harvested. The latter
crop Is believed TO have been badly
damaged by the terrific wind storm,
but the sun and damp weather since
have saved the crop
II is reported from all sections that
the hay, wheat and oats crops have
been the heaviest i'm many seasons
and the barns are filled while much
( is stacked in fields the buildings be-
4 ing too small to accommodate il.
Much alfalfa is being grown at pres
ent about the county and il yields
three cuttings every season.
At all the orchards both apples and
peaches are more plentiful than for
several years. but this is the second
successive year for large yields Of
both crops in this section, due to the
more expert care of the trees.

RAISE GUN.FIRE ANGLE
ON II. s. RATTL ESHIPS

WASHINGTON. Aug. Main
batteries of American battleships
hereafter will be given an elevation
of thirty degrees. practically ioub-
ling the present angle of fire, accord
ing to a decision reached by Navy
Department experts after close study
of all available information on naval
engagements of the European war.
Wherever possible ships now under
construction and those already in
commission, II is understood, will be
similarly fitted.
The effect of the change will be to
increase materially the range of the
navy's 14-inch guns and also TO
make gunfire more accurate in rough
weather. The guns now Have suf-
iicient range to reach anything with
in the limit of vision at sea. and the
added elevation will enable them to
hurl shells at objects far beyond the
horizon or over hills of considerable
size in bombarding land fortifica-

IN RESTAURANTS
THE NEXT DAY

In all the restaurants the scenery
is being liked for the return engage
ment of the oyster The high rollers
are biting their finger-nails waiting
for September morn, when the 1876
16 model will push the Car and the
Kaiser and the fighting armies and
Theodore out OF the limelight for 4
few minutes al least.
Reports received from the recon
noitering parties at Maurice River
kits Hammock and all sections Of
the lower bay carry news Of world
beating crop. The oysters are said
to be more plentiful and in better con-
dition than they have been for ten
years. The first of the new growth

and on the family table on Thursday.
Dredging isn't permitted until Sep

An oyster feet of at least $50 boats
of all sizes and patterns is already
assembled in Maurice River Cove.
ready TO lunge out upon the oyster
beds when the clock strikes II on
Tuesday night. These vessels will be
back in port Wednesday afternoon
with the first new oysters of the sea
son.
All the big commission men have
had representative on the oyster
beds for the past week making inves-
LEGATIONS and drawing up reports. The
news from all points in the Delaware
bay is uniformly cheering. The oys.
ters appear to have bred in amazing
quantities, and to be in unusually
fine condition everywhere.
Ordinarily the best oysters are from
two to three years old. These. wher
they are large enough to cover the
palm of the dredger's hand, are listed
as primes" The dredge brings NJ
great quantities of the younger ant
smaller oysters. These the "culls'
Of the trade, are heaved back into
the water to grow. The shoals II
the lower Delaware at this time o
the year are caked thick with full
grown and growing oysters of al
sizes.
In past years crops have been dam
aged 10 a considerable extent by
tiny parasite known as the bore
which cuts through the oysters shell
and eats the occupant alive. Report
so far received make no mention o
the parasite, and IL is assumed tina
this is to be one of the years whel
the oysters are free of the destroyer

coNeRATULATINe "a KAIsER.


 And now President Wilson is being criticised by letter writers In E8sterr newspapers for sending message ol congratulation to Emperor William oI 1 Germany on his birthday Those letter writers. presumably. have it ali ilgur ed out that the Kaiser is personally the cause Of the European war and that anybody who would bring upon the civilized world such disaster does not deserve to be congratulated on his birthday
 4 prejudiced view, of course. There are wal. .partisans ln this country that seem to be unable to take any broader view Of the matter than do the bellig erents themselves. They become all wrought up and are ready to argue and denounce any time they hear any thins contrary to their own views.
 Pro-German sympathizers denounce the Wilson administration for alleged sympathy with Great Britain. Pro English sympathizers now denounce President Wilson for sending mess age Of congratuiation to the Kaiser on the latter's birthday
 But surely We are not expected Go dispense with ciyilities simply because the nations of Europe are tearing at each others throats. It Is customary among rulers to send birthday mess ages. It does not follow that Presi. dent Wilson is @ Kaiser or king wor- shiper merely because he carries out a custom.
 Suppose the President had refrained from sending 8 message. At once the omission would have been construed as evidence of personal prejudice against tho Kaiser. Better is it for us to keep on in our usual way as fully as possi- blo than to suspend and except and re- frain and postonc because Europe is at war.
 President Wilson said nothing what ever in the message of reorganization to which onense could reasonably be taken. It was as follows:
 "ln behalf of the government and people Of the United States, have the pleasure to extend to your majesty cor dial felicitahons on this anniversary of your birth as well as my own good wishes for your welfare. --(T (Ta- coma Ledger)
