; announces that the first annual corn |
1 and potato show in Centre county will
be held Saturday, December 20th, in
the court house at Bellefonte. This
i show is being put on under the direc-
‘tion of the Centre county Farm Bu-
reau with the intention of making it
jan annual event each fall. :
It is hoped that the farmers of the
county will respond by sending exhib-
its of corn and potatoes in order to
make the show a success. Nearly
every county in the State has a simi-
lar show each year to get together
the best exhibits of corn and potatoes
lin the county. All the corn and pota-
"toes will be judged by competent
judges and the best will be sent to
| the State farm product show at Har-
risburg in J anuary.
Exhibits should be selected as fol-
lows:
Corn.—10 ears for an exhibit. Yel-
low Dent, White Cap Yellow Dent,
White Dent and Flint. Select corn
that is uniform in length, diameter,
color and well filled at butts and tips.
Potatoes.—10 potatoes for an ex-
hibit. Any variety whe
not. Select potatoes uniform in size,
not too deep eyes and free from dis.
ease.
All exhibits should be at the Farm
Bureau office by 10 a. m., of Decem-
ber 20th, they may be left at the of-
fice at any time previous to the show,
where they will be cared for and put
on exhibition.
On the same day will be held the
llowing meetings at 10 A.M.
Sheep and Wool association.
Guernsey Breeder's association.
. Farm Loan association.
Farm Bureau executive committee.
At 1:30 p, m. the annual Farm Bu-
reau meeting will be held in the court
room at Bellefonte. There will be a
report of the work for the past year
and also a discussion of work for the
coming year as well as election of of-
ficers and executive committee. Every
farmer interested should be present
| to make the show and meetings a suc-
cess.

J. D. Miller Barn Burned.
The barn at the J. D. Miller home
at Hublersburg was burned to the
ground with all its contents on Mon-
day afternoon, as well as the thresh-
| ing outfit of Jonas Stover. Four loads
of wheat had been stored in the barn
and the men were engaged in thresh-
ing it when the fire occurred. Just
what caused the fire is not known. It
was about 2:30 o’clock when flames
were seen issuing from the blower
pipe of the threshing machine and the
burning straw falling into the straw
mow started a conflagration which
and its contents were consumed. The
loss is placed at $5,000. Mr. Miller
carried only $300 insurance on his
{ barn and $500 on his Studebaker car,
which was burned. Mr. Stover car-
ried no insurance on his thresher
which was valued at $1,200.
New National Guard Officers.
Centre county will be well repre-
sented in the list of officers of the
new National Guard of Pennsylvania
which Adjutant General Beary hopes
to have completely organized in the
near future. H. Laird Curtin, of Cur-
tin, has been appointed a major in the
