WHEAT CUTTING
COMES TO END

mot more than half the usual crop
of wheat for Wayne county will be
threshed this year." said Walter S.
Ratliff today. Wheat is very poor
throughout the county"
Wheat has been cut with difficult
ty because OF the weeds in the fields.
The harvest will be completed by to-
morrow. If wet weather should fol
low harvest the wheat would damage
very easily
The loss from the Hessian fly has
not been as great as usual, Mr. Ratliff
stated. The joint-worm, however, will
cause loss of at least five per cent
in the crop.
Rye harvest is unusually late, Mr..
Ratliff said. The harvest has Just
been completed, and is usually fin
ished before the time of wheat har-
vest.
The crop is good, however, and the
yield in both straw and grain will be
equal to former years.

1T was also learned yesterday that
neither the Pennsylvania Steel Com

in both of which companies Mr.. Don

considered in connection with the mer-
ger plans. The property of the Penn

Donner took hold has been going
through a process of rehabilitation
and for the last year will report net
earnings of close to 2,OOO, 900 or about
equal to about 9.5 per cent upon the
$2O,560,SOO preferred stock outstand-
ing. In 1914 after depreciation OF
property and exhaustion of minerals
there was a deficit of $67S,491. AS the
company has orders on its books for
many months ahead the net earnings
for the current year in line with other
steel companies, promise to show much
greater results in 1915, when the boom
did not set in until the last half of the
year.

same pace, it is said that dividends will
be resumed upon the preferred stock
