Lloyd Hoffman, of Omaha, Nebraska, to his father, Dr. J. O. Hoffman, contains inteersting news to Adams and York county ft.rmers. The Omaha surgeon states that a combination of drought and hot weather has cut down the wheat production to the lowest point in many years.

Oats now is only about six inches high and corn stalks withering. Crops in the neighboring states of Iowa and Kansas are also affected by similar conditions. Normally this country produces about 80,000,000 bushels of wheat but according to the Washington, D. crop reporting board the first six months of this year have been less favorable for crop production than any similar period for fifty years. The board reports July 1st that the growing whear crop at that date would be the smallest in this country since 1893.

The present prediction is that less than 500,000,000 bushels of wheat will be harvested in the United States this year. This is good news to farmers who have wheat to sell J. E. Slaybaugh In County Race John E. Slaybaugh, son of Mrs.

It is reported that the company will make at least 60 taps at present. The company will be in shape to furnish gas to all those desiring same in about two weeks.

The main street of the borough Mrs. Mary E. Leer, who shares with Mrs. Lydia Day the honor of being the oldest women residents of Huntington township, will be ninety years bf age if she lives until the 27th day of the present month. Mrs.

Leer, widow of the late Jacob Leer, is in frail health at the present time. Her mother, Mrs. Susan Albert, lived to reach 93, and her brother, Professor Frank Albert, and sister, "Aunt" Sarah Albert, both died when past four score and ten years. It is a coincidence that Mrs. Leer was born and spent her girlhood years less than half a mile distant from the life-lnog home of Mrs.

Lydia Day, who is now moving towards her 98th y-Dar. Mrs. Leer has spent much of her time in her declining years reading magazines and books. She is very fond of the old fashioned love stories with happy endings. It has frequently been written and said that if you want to live to a giod old age choose ancestors who do not pass out before they reach the allotted three score and ten.

Believers in heredity can find strong -argument in Mrs. Leer's case, where the mother reached a great age and a brother and sister. I just now recall that another brother of Mrs. Leer, John Albert, died when about 72. J.
