POTATO GROWERS AWARDED
PRIZES.
Junior Farmers Banquetted in Belle-
Fonte Last Thursday Evening.
Most anybody can stick a potato in
the ground and then allow nature to
take its course, and if a good crop re-
sults all right, if not, then they blame
it on the weather. But the boy potato
growers of Centre county, members
of the junior farmers’ organization,
in their exhibit at the Y. M. C. A. last
Thursday afternoon and evening, pre-
sented incontrovertible evidence that
prize potatoes can be grown in Centre
county as well as anywhere else, if
proper attention is given them.
Sixty or more exhibits were on dis-
play, all of the russet variety, and in
size and general appearance they were
so uniform as to give the impression
that they were all from one potato
patch instead of sixty or more differ-
ent places in various sections of the
county.
After placing their exhibits last
Thursday afternoon the boys were
taken in charge by a committee of the
Bellefonte Business Men’s association
and shown through the Pennsylvania
Match company plant and the Belle-
fonte silk mill. In the evening they
were guests of the business men at a
banquet served at the Y. M. C. A.. A
delegation of the Y. W. club was in
charge and one hundred and fifty
plates were taken, the guests includ-
ing the boys, their fathers and spon-
sors. John B. Payne, vocational su-
pervisor of Centre county, presided
and the after dinner speakers includ-
ed Col. J. L. Spangler, Dean R. L.
Watts, of State College; Dr. J. F.
Marsh, Prof. C. E. Meyers, H. E. Gay-
man, Nelson E. Robb, F. B. Bennett,
1. L. Foster, Prof. E. L. Nixon, the po-
tato wizard of State College; Dr. L.
H. Beeler, and county farm agent J.
N. Robinson, who awarded the prizes,
os follows:
Grand champion of the county, $20.00 in
cash—Orvis Hosterman, Aaronsburg.
$15.00 cash—Charles H. Campbell, Penn-
sylvania Furnace.
Trip to Harrisburg State
Ross, State College.
Pair of shoes given by H. C. Yeager,
Bellefonte—Ralph Ishler, Zion.
Pair of boots by Cohen & Co.—Ralph
Poorman, Bellefonte.
$5.00 cash—John Kline, Boalsburg.

Campbell, Pennsylvania Furnace.
$3.00 cash—Milford Hazel, Aaronsburg.
Flashlight given by Bellefonte Hardware
Co.—Ray Corman, Bellefonte.
Scout knife given by the Potter-Hoy
Co.—Harold Albright, State College.
$2.00 cash—Harold Bloom, Bellefonte.
$1.00 cash—Kenneth Wert, Boalsburg.
$1.00 cash—Xarl Barner, Zion.
$1.00 cash—Fred Markle, State College.
The cash prizes were given by the
First National bank and Bellefonte
Trust company, of Bellefonte; the
First National bank and the People’s
National bank, of State College.
The organization of the junior far-
mers’ association and the boys’ potato
clubs is due entirely to county agent
J. N. Robinson and John B. Payne,
county vocational supervisor, who
conceived the idea, enlisted the aid of
the banks and business men in Belle-
fonte, State College and Port Matil-
da, and counseled the boys in their
work of planting and growing the
spuds. Naturally both men are well
satisfied with the result obtained and
Mr. Payne states that the possibilities
are unlimited in the development of
the agriculture of Centre county
through such a system of practical
training.

Investing for the Family.
Abraham Lincoln humorously said of a
1 poor neighbor's assets, *“He has a wife
| and two children, which I should think
| we re worth thirty thousand dollars to any
man.”
The
eyery
family is the greatest wealth of
member of it—the first concern of
the individual or of society. It is a gold-
en investment and nceds the same protec-
{ tion and care that any investment re-
quires.
One of its best safeguards is good read-
ing; one of the things that puts it in jeop-
ardy is bad reading. The Youth’s Com-
panion has always been, in the matter of
supplying good reading, what a United
Stites bond is to the investor. Its princi-
pal is guaranteed, and its interest is paid
with every issue. Try this investment for
your family.
