The Centre County Pomona Grange met in the Hall of the Zion Grange, Tharsday of last week, holding the two usual sessione—forenoon and after noon. The session was opened by the master, Prof. U. RB. Neff, in the ocus- tomary form. The attendance was very good, patrons being present from various sections of Bald Eagle, Nit- tany and Penns Valleys, the State College locality especially being well represented. The first session was given over to the installation of officers elected for 1918-1919, the work having been defer- red at the first quarterly meeting on account of the press of time, In the afternoon various comamit- tees read their reporte, the Grange En- campment and Fair coming in for a good portion of time being devoted to it. Every indication points to the coming gathering as being certain to more than maintain its importance ss a place for recreation and instruction. The exhibits are certain to be much larger than any time heretofore. This is gapecially true of implement exhib- its and live stock exhibits, Arrange- ments have been perfected with a pumber exhibitors, who for many years exhibited at Willlams Grove, to come here this year since the grove will not be opened until efter the war. The livestock exhibit is being boosted by Prof. R. L. Watte, of Btate College, who has become a member of the gen- eral committee, He has also interest- ed himsel! in the horticultural and agricultural exhibits, and is working for a better exhibit and one to be ar- ranged to become more educational. Icsurance — fire, life and casual— was talked by members, the latter being looked upon ss advantageous to the farmers, and, of course, it was con- ceded the other two clagses of iopsur. ance were indispensible, Mre., Mitchell, representing the Women’s Club of Bellefonte, was giv- en a period to talk on the Child's War Garden. After her talk a resolution was passed looking to the districting of Centre county and giving a $5.00 prize to the best Child's War Garden in each district. R. H. Olmstead, the county agent, had already been named es the judge, By resolution a period was devoted in me mory of Mrs. Carrie Bradford, whose death occurred June 3rd. A set of appropriate resolutions were framed and adopted. The next meeting of the county Grange, at the request of A. C, Grove, representing his Grange, will be beld in the hall of Logan Grange, Dear Pleasant Gap. A real farmer's dinner, that means a dinper with nothing good missing, was served. To make the noon hour a more delightful, an hour was devot- ed to strictly sccial intercourre. a MI A AYA —— Fork, Beef and Milk. “ Withinamonth I was in several beef producing sections and find the beef makers very much interested,’ says L. W. Lighty, farm advisor of the Pennsylvania Department of Agri- culture, “Ope? man had joet sold his bunch of steerr, 27 in number, for fif- teen and a quarter cents a pound and he wore a smile that will not come of! until he has another §4,5C0 worth of beef as be made at this time. His neighbor had just sold four porkers at twenty-iwo cents a pound and at once invested in a bunclr-of pigs at §7.50 each and is happily feeding them on $2.00 corn sand $55.00 middlings and $120.00 tanksge in the hope of making a little money by the transaction be) cause he made a little this time. ““ It is a real plessure to meet folks smiling bard and happily at work for long hours. They are doling their best and are paid for it and tell you #0. But when I come to the strictly milk shipping section of southeastern Pennsylvania the story ls wonderfully and woefully differen’, A few days past 1 found a man who tried unsuccessfully to get compe- tent help and when the news of three and a half cent a quart milk came he advertised cows and had just sold the herd and was very glad, Almost every cow keeper wesrsa a frown and does not hesitate to tell you he is ground between two millstones, the pether, the extremely low price of milk, and the upper, the extremely high prices of feed and labor and the awful incfliclency of the Iatter. “* The dairyman csnnot make any money and in many instances falling behind and he realizes it and the re- sults are very unplessant for the man avho lscirculating among these people in the honest interest. of Increased production, They are discouraged and they are cross and say unplessant thinge, If the dairy indu try Is to thrive the milk producers must make money #4 do the beef and pork prec ducers, This should be self-. vident to any one,’ A letter addressed to Mre. Annle Ritner remains unclaimed at the Cen tre Hall post office, DRASTIC SUGAR REG UU LATIONS, Loss of Large Amount of Smgar Calls for Cartaliment In Public Mating Flaces and Homes, The following official m» otice relative to the use of sugar has been sent the Reporter for publicatiors this week, The rules are lald down for proprietors of hotels, restaurants anne clube, and also for retail merchantea.
