The Graoge hall was filled on Friday

The program as printed in the Repor-

students performed very creditably,
The principal feature, of course, was the
debate, which was, “Resolved, that our

bury their "worthy opponents” under an

Rot in the Potato Crop.
The Bureau of Plant Industry of the
Pennsylvania Department of Agricul-
ture is being flooded with inquiries re-
garding the rotting of the potato crop
this year. This prevalent rot is in no
wise different from epidemics of the
same trouble in years gone by, except
that the recent very warm weather has
caused the rot to develop so rapidly as
to appear unusually serious. It is the
well known late blight rot which is do.
ing the damage, a potato disease which
occurs with more or less severity every
year, and which bas always been the
bugbear of the potato grower even back
to the days of our grandfathers,
The bureau advises buyers of potatoes
to examine them carefully. The late
blight which started rather late in the
potato tops in the field, had in many
cases just began to attack the tubers at
the digging time. Any potatoes which
now shows a discoloration under the
skin looking something like a bruise on
ones flesh have the incipient stages, and
are almost sure to rot, and to rot very
quickly if kept in warm condition. For
those who have potates in storage the
sooner they are cooled and dried the bet

Fire destroyed the big barn on the

distance east of Bellefonte, Saturday a
week ago, The men were all at work mn
the potato patch when the fire was first
