LS RN SB 1 FARMER'S WEEK AT STATE COLLEGE A | B16 Ox. —When the officials of the Penn- eylvania State College and the State Ex- periment Station planned for toe second farmer's week exercises they did not antie- ipate nearly the interest or attendance that characterized the gathering dunng the past week. From the beginning of the ex- ercises on Wednesday of last week until the close on Wednesday afternoon of this weck the thirty-five instructors engaged to lecture and gi#e demonstrations were kept exceedingly busy getting around the crowd. Last year the total number of far- mer students earolled was just 194, while this year the number exceeded five hun- | dred. These came from over fifty of the | sixty-seven counties in the State aod in- | cluded farmers and their wives, their sons and their daughters, all equally eager to | hear and profit by the various instructions. i Of course each day had its special line of | instruction and in order that the entire crowd could be accommodated it was di- | vided into three and four separate classes | aud av equal number of lectures and dem- | onatrations given at the vame time. It is impossible for the WATCHMAN, with the limited space at its command, to give anyways near a detailed repors of the week, hence can only touch on the most important or unusual issues. The opening exercises of the week were given in last week's paper. Nothing out of the ordi- nary took place on Tharsday and on Fri: day the biggest feature was when Prof, Tombave killed two beef cattle, dressed them io front of his andience and then ex- plained the difference in meat producing animals even when fed on the same amount of food, under the same conditions. G. I. Christie, superintendent of agi- cultural extension in Pardue Umversity ; E. G. Rapp, superintendent of the Berks county schools, and Prof. H. E. Van Nor- man were among the leading speakers of Saturday. Saturday evening quite a num- ber of the farmers who did wot waut to spend Sanday at the College left for home but enough others arrived on Monday to keep the quota of attendance up to its maximum limit. In fact so great has been the saccess of this year's exercises that the College officials are planning to increase by connecting the dairy and agricultural buildings in one group hy the erection of a hig assembly hall between the two. The most interesting part of Monday's exercises was the organization that evening of the Pennsylvania Seed Improvement as- sociation, an organization concerned in the improvement of the crops in this State. Nearly every county in the State is repre- members of the association, which was formed following a recommendation of G I. Christie, superintendent of agricultnral extension in Pardue University. It is proposed to district the State and E M. Rapp, superintendent of the Berks connty schools, will begin the movement hy organizing that county. The county associations will be local in their nature but subordinate to the organization formed Monday evening. Membership will be urged upon every progressive farmer, and in the meantime every member of the or- gavization made on Monday will work as missionaries among the farmers all over the State, George Dale, of College township, was chairman of the committee on organization which forinalated the constitution adopted aud recommended the following officers for election : Vice presidents, Alfred 8. Haines, of Westtown, Chester county, and J. T. Campbell, of Hartstown, Crawford county ; secretary aud treasurer, John W. Gilmore, State College. A president will not be elected until the meeting next year. Special interest will attach to the meetings of this association as there will be compe- titive displays of farm crops. Other features of interest on Monday was an explanation of the respiration cal- orimeter by Dr. H. P. Armsby and a plea for more extensive stock raising by H. E. Cook, of Denmark, N. Y. Notwithstanding Tuesday’s snow storm interest in the farmer's week exercises con- tinued unabated. Among the new arrivals was W. F. Hill, Master of the State Grange, and in an impromptu talk before the four hundred farmer students he heartily en- dorsed Dr. Hunt's plan for summer schools for teachers at which they will be taught agriculture in all its various branches. Dr. N. C. Schaeffer hae also approved of Dr. Hunts’ scheme and already arrangements have been made for the establishmens of three such schools during the coming sam- mer. The instroction will be given by professors from the College who have sig- vified their willingness to devote their va- cation months to this work. Two of the men who have already been selected are Profs. J. W. Gilmore and J. P. Stewart. In Tuesday’s instruction Prof. John Price Jackson explained to the farmers the adaptability of the motor to farm work ; Miss Waugh gave a talk on ventilation avd plumbing and a demonstration on des. serts ; Prof. Alva Agee made an address on “The Chance of Winning,” and Miss Sarah C. Lovejoy, dean of the woman's depart. ment, made the olosing talk Tuesdsday evening on “Woman's Education.” Wednesday's sessions were all brief, it being the closing day, and consisted of brief instructions by J. W. Gilmore, Alva Agee, H. P. Baker, J. H. Barron and El. ton D. Walker. , By Wednesday evening most every farmer at the Co'lege had lefs for home, and there was not%one among all present who did not realize that his time was well spent. And from a general view- point it can be said that the wonderful sno- cess of this second annual farmer's week bas demonstrated the fact that it is now an | pot but failed to get even a penny for their stine, «on of councilman William H. Der. the facilities for handling so large a crowd | | ard’s father, Mr. James C. Aull, who died : at twelve o'clock Sanday after qaite a long sented by the almost four hundred pledged | for which just as mach preparation must | be made as for any other short course. There is no doubt that in yeais to come the good results of this week of special instrue- tion to the farmers will be seen in the more ad vanced conditions of agriculture all over the State, which will mean bigger and bet- ter crops of grain and fruits and conse- quently more money in the farmer's poek- els. Se mens —=— On Tuesday Luther Dale and family, of Pleasant Gap, butchered five large hogs; and notwithstanding the fact that it snowed all day, bad everything done up in good time, ——On Saturday night would-be thieves broke to pieces the two penny-in-the-slos | weighing machines at the Philipsharg de- trouble, as every cent had been removed from the machines late in the evening. ~—-Bellefonte friends of Frank Der- stine, of this place, will be interested iu learning that he has been promoted from a clerkship to mauager of the clothing department in Kline, Carti« & Co's big de- partment store in Reading. ro A een ~The beantiful raral play of “Maud | Muller,”” by special request of managers and theatregoess, played several return dates last season and there is wot an in- stance on record where the theatre was | not sold out previous to the company’s ar- rival is town. In Bellefonte Monday evening, Janoary 13th, — ca ~The Kind of weather we have had this week is bringing a smile on the face of the ice man in anticipation of the crop he would like to barvest ; while at the same time the coal man is equally radiant— though he might be more 8n if he had Jess trouble in getting coal enongh to keep his supply up to the average. —— —— If you miss the Bellefonte Central railroad train either going to or returning from the College in the afternoon it is be- canse you did not get to the station in time, as the train leaves about one hour earlier than it did under the old schedule. It thus makes closer connection with the noon trains on the Bald Eagle valley and gets back to Bellefonte in time for supper. ——Mr. and Mrs. Edward Richard were bastily summoned to Philadelphia on San- day on account of the death of Mrs. Rioh- illness with a complication of diseases, He was eighty-two years of age and in addi- tion to Mrs. Richard is survived by two sons. The funeral was held on Wednes- day afternoon. ——The third in the series of men's monthly mass meetings ~ill be held in the court house at 3:30 o'clock on Sunday af- ternocn under she anspices of the Y. M. C. A. Gen. James A. Beaver will deliver the principal address, his suhjeot being “Following at the Head of the Profession.” There will be music by Smith's orchestra and singing by a male quartette. The public in general is invited. yr ——The citizens of Boalsburg held a public meeting on Wednesday evening and appointed committees to make arrange” ments for the farmer's institute which will be held there on Wednesday and Thars- day, February 19th and 20th. Consider- able interest is already manifested in this gathering and if it is not a success when held it will not be because the people of that town have not done their part. ———— ——A few minutes before seven o'clock on Monday morning the roof on the City laundry caoght fire, presumably from a spark from the furnace stack. The flame was discovered before it had made much headway by Frank Kerns, proprietor, and, although an alarm was sent in he succeed- hd in extinguishing the fire before the fire companies arrived on the scene. The only damage was to the roof and it was com- paratively slight. ——The Bellefonte Electric company re. cently completed the installation of a new engine andset of dypamos which now gives them three sets of dynamos for use at one time if needed. They are now equipped to furnish more ourrens than is at present being used and are in better shape than ever to tide over any break- down of an engine or set of dynamos, The company, by the way, is still figuring on the establishingol a day service in the near {uture. ee 4 amit ~The Independent Oil company, of Spaogler, a corporation whose object has been the manufacture and dealing in oils, greases and all by-products of petrolenm, was organized January 1st, 1907, and reor- ganized January 1st, 1908. Edward J. Williams, of Fleming, bas been made secretary. of the company. Daring last year he worked as traveling salesman for the company and thoogh his efforts prac- tically doubled the business. It was be- cause of this efficient service that he was made secretary. mn Gl ——On Monday Forest Bullock gave the contract to the Bellefonte Lumber company for the erection of his new blacksmith shop on south Water street, on the ground re- cently purchased from Gamble, Gheen & Co., south of the Bellefonte steam laundry. It will he a building 30x40 feet in size and two stories high. The first floor will be used as a blacksmith shop and the second a3 a paint shop. The lot purchased by Mr. Bullock has a frontage of 130 feet and it is his intention some time in the future established course at the College and one to buiid himself a concrete house on the | steam heating works, were notified and | | and that it flowed along and around the | Too MuceH WaTer.—In these days when Bellefouters are metered for gas, electric light and water and are lucky not to be metered for the pure mountain air they breathe it ought to be a relief to be able to get enough of any one thing with- out paying for it. And that is what the Brockerhoff house got on Monday, so far as water was concerned, although not just in the way they cared to have it. Some time toward evening the office and even the upper floor rooms in the house became clouded with steam and an investigation disclosed the fact that the cellar under the office was filled toa depth of eighteen inches with water so hot it burned the hand, while a stream fully an inch thick poured in from the street. Fortunately after rising toa height of eighteen inches the water found an outlet of sufficient ca- | pacity to prevent its rising any higher, As no solution for the source of the water could be discovered hoth superin- tendent Samuel Rine, of the borough water department, and Col. H. 8. Taylor, of the after each one bad investigated the case he | maintained the source of the water was | not within his jaristiotion. Plumbers were put to work which resalted in the dis- covery that the leak was in water feed pipe pipe for such a distance that it entered the | cellar hot enough to throw off steam. The exact location of the leak was not found and repairs made until Tuesday ;' and in the meantime nota lodger in the | hotel tuck advantage of the cellar full of | hot water to take a good hot bath, — THAT NEW CAR.—If superintendent F. H. Thomas, of the Bellefonte Central rail- road, is a very busy man the next few days you can ascribe it to the fact that that wonderfal new car of his has at last arrived from the New England shops in which it was built. It came in on Wednesday even- ing and is all that it was ramored it would be. It is a monster, seventy feet in length, and of somewhat ponderous build. But when the fact is considered that the car is virtually a whole traiu its size is not to be wondered at. The car of course is sell-propelling. It is divided into four compartments. In the front compartmens is the driving ap- paratus which consists of a steam motor, gasoline being the fuel used. The eecond compartment is devoted to baggage, the third as a smoking room aud the fourth as ageneral passenger compartment with a hig locker in the extreme rear. The car on its trial trips made a speed of seventy-five miles an hoor and it in expected thas it will be able to easily maintain a speed of thirty miles on the Bellefonte Central, The car is not only a most modern one, but is handsomely equipped and fornished, being finished throoghout in solid mahog- any. It was tested yesterday and found in goodworking order. It needs a littlepolish- ing and rabbipg up and as soon as this has been done a trial trip over the road will be made. Of course the car is an innovation in these parts and its snocess will be watch- ed with interest by railroaders as well as the traveling public. eo TUesDaY's Bic SNow FALL. —While it is not a matter of news to readers of the WATCHMAN to be told that it snowed on Tuesday there may bea few facts in cou. nection therewith that they have not yet learned. The first is that it was the deep- est snow that has fallen at one time in years ; in fact ; even the ‘‘oldest inhabit. aut’’ has not been able to tell just the year when there was a snowfall of equal depth. Of conrse it was a regular ‘‘old timer,"" re. minding us of ‘‘the old days when we w are boye,”’ and it was nothing extraordinary to have a foot of enow at one time. Bui Toesday’s snowfall was greater than that. To be more exact just fifteen inobes of snow fell in about six hours, or an average of two and one-half inches an hour. Jt be- gan to snow in the morning between eight and nine o'clock bat up to cne o'clock in the afternoon had not snowed much more thao an inch in depth. At 6.30 in the evening the writer measnred the snow, and was careful to select an even spot, and found it just a little over sixteen inches deep. Fortunately the wind did not be- come strong enough to drifs the snow very much and as a consequence traffic was very little delayed. The snow, however, has made good sleighing all over the county and everybody is taking fall advantage of it. td OFFICERS SWORN IN.—Monday morning recorder John C. Rowe, distriot attorney W. Groh Runkle and connty surveyor J. Henry Wetzel were sworn into office. Of course, as both Mr. Rowe and Mr. Rankle are just entering upon their second term in office the swearing in process to them was nothing new. In fact, about the ouly thing new in connection with the whole matter is that for she three years of his present term distriot attornsy Runkle will draw one thousand dollars a year salary instead of fees as he did under the old law; a fact which makes the distriot attorney- ship about one hundred percent. mor de- sirable than formerly. hai BASKET BALL.—The Williamsport High echool basket ball team will play the Y, M. C. A. team in the gymnasium here to- night. The Bellefonte boys have been playing a remarkably good game this sea: son, having lost bat one game ont of six, and they are deserving of more liberal patronage than they have been given so far. There is no question hat that the game this evening will be a good one and you cannot pass an hour more interestingly than by witnessing she contest. Therefore we say, go aud see the game, encourage the team and at the same time help the assooia- Miss PETTICOATS. —The large audience which assembled in Garman’s opera house on Wednesday evening tc witness the pro- duction of Miss Petticoats, had no reason to complain of the money spent to see the production, From the rise of the curtain on the first scene to the fall at the finale the interest in the play was enough to hold the audience, not spellbound with awe at thrilling climaxes or sragical scenes, but with a desire to wee the play through to the end, and there was not one person regret- ted staying. Miss Florine Farr, in the character of Agatha Renier, was all a person could imagine the heroine to be. Vivacious, pathetio and even tragical when it became a question of avenging her wrongs, she played the part saperbly. And in addition the company throughout was one of the most evenly-balanced of any seen in Belle- foute for a long time. While the plot in the play is not deep every actor played his or her part, and played it well. Atkinson & Thatcher have sens more than one show to Bellefonte but they bave never sent as good a company here as Mis Petticoats, and should they elect to return to Belle. fonte in the future the s. r. o. tign is sare to be bung out again. eve News Purely Personal ~'8quire W.

Watts, of Scalp Level, Cambria county, bas been elected horticalturist at the State Experiment Station and professor of borti- culture in The Pennsylvania State College to succeed the latz lamented George C. Batz, Mr. Watts graduated from State College in the class of 1890 in the course in agrical- tare. After his graduation he determined to take advantage of the knowledge ob- tained io college and at once took up the stady of horticulture, fruit growing and more advanced methods of agriculture. He spent several years in Tennessee studying and teaching practical methods of borticul- tare and finally retarned to Pennsylvania and located at Scalp Level where he en- gaged in market gardening and frais grow- ing. His wonderful saccess in this line brought him to the attention of leading ag- rioulturists of the country with the result that he was much sought after as a speak - er on horticaltcral topics at farmers’ inssi- tutes and agricultural meetings. He was one of the speakers at the farmer's week exercises at State College on Saturday, baving lectured on market gar- dening, and at the close of his talk the an- nouncement of his selection as Prof. Batz’s successor was made. As evidence of his worth as a borticultarist it might be said that for a namber of years past Mr, Watts has had an income of over four thousand dollars annually from his market garden- ing and froit and he leaves the personal su- pervision of that industry to accept his new position at State College. ne A sm A THREATENING LETTER. —A threaten- ing and mysterious letter was received re- cently by oar genial townsman, D.

He adds, however, that noone will he sorry. Mr. Willard says he has no idea who the writer can be, but he bas pasted the letter up in his store window, where anyone can examine it for himself. He does not look especially worried about it, and stated that he thooght he would not turn it over to the authorities, but he wonld wait to see what happened. . pe rma siiinicn “MAUD MULLERR."—L. D.
