i LS ls ———— : FR TA A Annual Meeting of Agricultural Ex- tension Association. A good representation of farmers v.as in attendance at the annual meet- ing of the Centre county Agricultural Extension Association, held in Belle- fonte on December 18th. Newton IL Wilson, of Halfmoon township, presi- dent of the association, presided, and the report of the treasurer showed the finances to be in good shape. County agent R. C. Blaney submit- ted his annual report which showed a remarkable increase in the work of the association during the past four years. In 1921 just 1200 farmers asked for and received special information while the number in 1925 was 2360. almost double that of four years ago. Mr. Blaney stated that it is impossi- ble to estimate the value of this serv- ice in dollars and cents, as in various instances it has meant success or fail- ure with certain crops. J. M. Fry, assistant director of ag- ricultural extension at State College, gave an interesting talk on the meth- ods of developing the work of the as- sociation, and how much it means to every farmer in Centre county. Dr. R. R. Brunner, of the State bu- reau of animal industry, gave an in- teresting talk on cattle testing for the eradication of tuberculosis. He stated that in two townships in Centre coun- ty last year 109 herds totaling 1164 cattle were tested. There was indi- vidual testing of 168 herds with 2635 head of cattle and 139 re-actors. 44 herds disclosed re-actors while 124 herds were free of tuberculosis. Ap- proximately 1256 herds are awaiting the test. The money allotment for in- dividual testing was $6928, and the to- tal expense to date, $6380, leaving an unexpended balance of $548. This is the amount of money available for in- dividual testing until the next session of the Legislature, unless some unex- pended money can be turned over from other counties. Mr. Brunner stated that according to the present schedule five townships in Centre county are signed up at the present time, namely: Ferguson, Benner, Spring, Walker and Miles, in which the tests will be made the latter part of May. The following officers of the asso- ciation were elected for the ensuing year: President, Newton I. Wilson, Stormstown; vice president, J. M. Campbell, Pennsylvania Furnace; sec- retary, J. Will Mayes, Howard; treas- urer W. C. Smeltzer, Bellefonte. Falling Light in Heavens Mystifies Bellefonte People. Between 5.30 and 6 o’clock on Tues- day evening a number of Bellefonte people saw a mysterious falling light in the heavens north of Belle- fonte which they thought was a burn- ing airplane. Inquiry at the aviation field, however, brought the informa- tion that no plane was expected in at that hour, consequently it couldn’t be a plane. As described the light was too big for a shooting star, and in NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. —Fred Waite, of Trafford City, was home for a Christmas day visit with his mother, Mrs. George Waite, of Phoenix Ave. —James B. Lane, of Letonia, Ohio, who was here to spend Christmas. with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John N. Lane, left Monday evening. At Tyrone he was joined by his wife and together they went on to Richmond, Va., for a visit with relatives of Mrs. Lane in that city. — Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Thomas departed Wednesday for their new home in New- ville, Pa. After so many years of resi- dence and usefulness in Bellefonte thers was a tinge of sadness in their going aud while it was a severance of daily touch with many friends it was not an ending, for is is hoped that both Mr. and Mrs. Thomas will be back often. — Samuel H. Harpster, of Gatesburg, was in Bellefonte just before Christmas. We missed the ‘pleasure of a chat with him, but our misfortune was some one else's blessing for the party that Sam acme down with was hunting him hours after he left this office and that convinced us that he had found some political cro- nies somewhere and was talking politics. mr tee lp eee, Reflections on ‘the Christmas Season. Bellefonte had its customary com- munity tree for Christmas. It was erected through the auspices of the Kiwanis club and the Girl Scouts had charge of the exercises and commun- ity singing at the tree the evening before Christmas. Candies and fruit were distributed to all children and a large supply of boxes left over were turned over to the Associated Chaxi- ties for distribution on Christmas day. This organization distributed thirty baskets on Christmas morning among those deserving of same while coal and clothing were included in the good work done by those in charge. This Christmas cheer was made pos- sible through the generosity of the Bellefonte Lodge of Elks and indi- vidual contributions. Fire at Whiterock Quarries.
