LARGEST OF THE

Bigger Institution Than the
Patton First National.
In the merging of the First Nation-
al Bank of Patton and the Grange Na-
tional Bank of Patton, soon to take
place, under the title of the First Na-
tional Bank of Patton, the new institu-
tion will boast of the largest bank in
Cambria County outside of the City of
Johnstown. By the merger, the assets
of the Fi National Bank, of about
$2,000,000 and the assets of the Grange
National Bank, of about $1,500,000 give
to the new institution assets of about
$3,775,000, with a capital stock of $200,-
000 and a surplus of $200,000.

|
Pennsylvania farmers have indicated |
1eir intention to seed a winter wheat |
acreage 1 per cent less than the plant- |
ing last fall, in the reports of the Fed- |
eral-State Crop Reporting Service of |
the Pennsylvania Department of Agri- |
culture.
If these plans are carried through,
the Pennsylvania wheat plantings this
fall will total 1,231,000 acres, compared
with the estimated plantings of 1,243,-
000 acres in the fall of 1927. The in-
| tended acreage this fall is also 12,000
acres less than the plantings intended
for the fall of 1927, when farmers were
enabled by the favorable weather to
seed the acreage planned in August.
The average abandonment of wheat
tduring the past 10 years has been 2.9
cent of the planted area. With av-
erage abandonment this season,
intended seeding would net
1,195,000 acres, compared with 1,-
000 acres harvested this summer.
Pennsylvania’s intended wheat ac-
reage is 7.4 per cent less than the av-
erage fall planting from 1909 to 1913;
15 per cent lower than the 1913-1918
average, and 6.7 per cent below the
1919-1923 average.

WELL, THE MOVING CAME
ALONG VERY SMOOTHLY.
The Courier this week for the
first, comes from the new location
the Masonic Building, in the
former Barton and Winslow store
rooms. The moving, of course, has
crippled our job department to a
certain extent, but we expect to be
in a position in a few days to han-
dle any and everything that comes
our way. We feel, too, that in our
larger and more prominent quar-
ters, we will be able to render a
printing service that the commun-
ity justifies, and now are consider-
ing the purchase of additional ma-
chinery to make our already mod-
ern plant, just a little better. And,
in the meantime, may we not ask
you all to pay any subscription
accounts in arrears. It really is
a costly proposition to move.
