Governor to Uc tiers.
Chairman of Farmers' Insti
tutes, Mr Frank Ranck, has been
notified by C. E. Carothers, Di
rector in the Pennsylvania De
partment of Agriculture, that
Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh
will start on September 12th to
make a three weeks' tour of the
State in the interest of agricul
ture. The Governor and his par
ty will be in McConnellsburg on
September 20th, and Mr. Ranck
has requested that as many
farmers and others as possible
meet the Governor's party on
top of Tuscarora mountain and
escort them to town where Mr.
Brumbaugh will deliver an ap
propriate address. Mr. Ranck
thinks that the Cove farmers
should by all means arrange to
escort the party as far a3 Web
ster Mills and back, to show them
the fertile farms of that section.
Speaking editorially, we know
that the wonderful producing
power of the farms in Big Cove
is a revelation to outsiders, and
that whenever strangers are in
troduced to the pleasing home
conditions of the Cove they ad
vertise us in no uncertain man
ner. The Governor and his party
are out to learn facts concerning
all sections of the State. Do not
let them pass by the very door of
one of the most wonderful spots
without seeing it.

George W. Reisner & Co.,
McConnellsburg, Penn'a.
An Example of Pluck.
George L. Reisner, son of our
townsman J. G. Reisner, made
up his mind several years ago
that he would master the science
of agriculture. Since then, he
has been attending State College
where, under instructors at the
Agricultural Experiment Station
he has made great progress. A
part of the course consists of ac
tual work on the farm during va
cation. Each summer finds him
hard at work at every variety of
hard, easy, nice, and nasty jobs
on a farm. This summer he
spent his vacation on a big farm
near Clear Spring, Md., and on
Thursday of last week, he return
ed to McConnellsburg in great
feather and feeling as fine as a
fiddle. He will return to State in
about two weeks.
We have recited this story for
the encouragement of other
young men of Fulton county.
Not all of them can take the long
courses followed by Mr. Reisner
to prepare himself for superin
tendency and advisory duties,
but not one boy in the County is
too poor to get in touch with the
College by mail, at no cost, and
by using the "old farm" for the
asis of practice, he can obtain
i complete scientific education
that will prove of incalculable
alue to him later. Education
will be the foundation of future
leading farmers just as surely as
it is now the foundation for the
Bar, the Pulpit, and the manage
ment of great business interests.

Have you a boy or girl who is
"backward" at school? Did you
ever try to find out if the unfor

lessons? Surprise yourself by
finding how many boys and girls
are afflicted in that way. They
do not know it. It is up to the
parent to find a remedy. It
would be criminal to neglect to
do so before another term opens.
