AIA SA St ANNAN THE REPORTER'S REGIITER. The Reporter's Headquarters Visited by Many People, a Small Per Cent of Whom Registered. One of the busy pices at the Grange Encampment and Fair was The Centre Reporter's headquarters on Main Ave- nue. It was semi-public in character ; in fact, the idea in view being to accom- modate the friends of this paper.

John Durst and H. W, Frantz, of near Cen- tre Hall, Frank Decker, of near Centre Hall, with his Carman No. 1, is ahead for size of potatoes, and “general good shape. The largest apple on the table was a spitz, grown by Harry O, Beahm, near Coburn, It was a beauty, and weighed over a pound. : A novel exhibit was that of Mrs, J, 8. Dale and represented a “Block House’ by the Puritans, aod the Puritans themselves, made from clothes pins. Like the others in this line men- tioned, Mrs. F, W. Mower, of NO. mark raising this kind of. truck, but what be had on exhibition was just fine, From the appearance of the corn ex- hibit one could easily see the sections of country in Centre county visited by local showers at opportune time for growlog corn. One of these sections was the Btate College and Lemont districts, and the corn shown by the Dales, Deckers, Kellers, etc, was proof. The corn display, especialiy corn grown in the immediate vicinity of Centre Hall, was not much in evidence but James C. Grodhart had a display of little yellow corn-—-little only in pame--perfect in every way. Another corn display were several ears placed by J. Elmer Royer, at Old Fort, who has a very good crop throughout, An exhibit that stiracted consider able attention was one placed by Mrs. Mary Looberger and granddaughter, Mrs, Vira Pecht The former had sev- eral banana canteloupes and the latter a bunch of peanuts. The stalks had a goodly number of fair sized - fully de- veloped nuts on them. Both these exhibits were raised on Nittany Moug- tain. Ope would scarcely think that as good fruit usually grown much further south than this latitude could be grown here, yet Mrs, Perry Krise had on exhibition as perfectly developed and fine grained canteloupe as can be found any where. This fruit was grown in the Beven Mountains, where Mr, and Mre. Krise live in a comfort. able home, located on good soil, G. L. Goodhart is without doubt the champion sweet pumpkin raiser in this section. There are few pumpkins of any sort grown in this locality this season, but Mr. Goodhart had a fine display of fruit. Now to be called a pumpkin raiser is not always appli- cable to the best class of farmers, but to grow the kindof pumpkins Mr. Goodhart does iss credit to any one. Upon the solicitation of The Centre Reporter, Col, William J. Br; ap, the Democratic candidate for president, sent a bunch of alfalfa grown on his “ Fairview farm,’ together with = letter wishing the exhibition success. This paTticular exhibit was viewed with considerable interest, a portrait of the Nebraskan aiding in making the exhibit conspicuous. “Fairview farm’’ is not merely a country home, but it is a “farm” in its full sense, where al- falfa is one of the leading crops grown. If one were pipeeyed and took = location in front of the exhibits of Mrs. Emma Homan, of Centre Hall, and Mrs. Wallace White, of Axe Mann, they would imagine themselves in the sunny south. The former had a fluely developed cotton plant, full of bursting bolls. The tropical plant was sfown in a large vessel aud is a good epecimen of the staple crop of the south. The other exhibit was a large tobacco plant. The stem was massive aud the leaves well-formed, and would look well in a tobacco house of one of the Lancaster county tobaceo growers, An exhibit of sifalfa incased in a cabinet by The Centre Reporter attracted more or less attention. It showed three cuttings of the legume from a plot of four acres immediately west of the camp grounds, and cannot be outdone in Central Pennsylvanis, he first crop was cut Jute Oih, length sixty and one-half inches, the second July 20th, forty-one days alierward, length thirty-seven inches; and the third crop was thirty-four inches in length and was cut August 27, the growth-haviog been made in thirty- seven days. From the four acres twelve two-horse loads were taken, averaging over one ton of mIw-cured hay. The Water Supply. Through the week of the Eacamp- ment and Fair there was an unusually large quantity of water consumed, the spigots on the camp grounds being open for the greater part of the time. There was some apprehension that the supply might be inadequate this year, owing to the fact the reservoir was being rebuilt, work jist have ing been finished before the encamp- ment opened which gave no chance to scoumulste a supply, but there was an abundant supply during the entire week, and the reservoir at no time wae drained. This indicates plainly that if all the water st Laurel spring found its way into the reservolr, there would be no questioning that the ‘supply for all purposes would be ample through the entire year. The sooner the pipe line to this spring is put into proper shape the better for all concerned. In one particular the Grange En- campment and Fair was a signal fall are in that it failed to bring a * wet spell.” ET — Spring Mills John A. Camp and wife, Milroy L. T.
