Starting at 8 am. January 12 and continuing until 6 p m January 16, the Pennsyl
vania mid-winter agricultural classic will give Garden Spot farmers another chance to
proVe their farming and feeding skills
At least $258 in prize money is assured in advance for the County That is the prem
ium offered in the tobacco department. With one of the best crops ever harvested in the
sheds, and conditions poor in other tobacco growing areas of the commonwealth, there
should be little doubt of the final destination of tobacco honors.
