for the soldiers that are coming home
on furloughs and those among US for
whom special affairs will be planned
and then of course there will be any
number Of Red Cross festivities besides
the many little private affairs which

There are whispers of a number of
very large weddings which will have

These facts surely lead one to think
that they must be prepared with suit

per cent or 40 per cent on all gowns
at S65 or more and 80 1-3 discount on

STATE FAILS TO
INCREASE WHEAT
Increase to The State Depart
partment of Agriculture In
dicate 10000 New Acres

Doubts whether the farmers of
Pennsylvania will be able to plant
half of the increased acreage of
wheat asked by the National govern
ment are expressed in a bulletin is
sued by the State Department of
Agriculture. Lack of enough farm
labor and unusually wet weather
are assigned as reasons The national
government asked for 202,000 acres
to be added to the states wheat
acreage of about 100000 and for
40, 600 additional acres of rye.
The bulletin says:
Reports reaching the Pennsyl-
Nania Department of Agriculture
show that there will be a slight in
crease in the acreage of wheat, but
it is doubtful if it will total more
than five per cent over the acreage
of the past year. 1t has been prac-
tically impossible for the farmers to
get labor to dig their potatoes and
cut the corn and thousands of acres
that might have been sown to either
wheat or rye still have the corn crop
untouched. In many sections it has
been custom to follow corn with
wheat but the failure to harvest the
corn crop will mean the loss of
thousands of acres in wheat. From
present indications the acreage IN
crease in wheat will be about 10, 900
acres.
The same conditions confront the
farmers in increasing the rye acreage
but from present indications the in
crease in this crop will be even less
than five per cent. From present in
dications the increased acreage will
total more than 10000 acres.
The wet weather has been a bis
factor in cutting down the efforts
of the farmers who have planned fol-
larger acreages in both wheat ant
rye. With available labor it ha:
practically been impossible for the
farmers in many sections to get theil
ground in condition for the sowins
