Yesterday afternoon a Herald man
had the pleasure of accompanying
Commissioner G. H. Turner to his
farm, and on a trip through the coun-
try adjacent to the city, to the
south and southeast. Mr.. Turner has
a splendid property on the hill just
east of Spring Park, and fifteen min

farm he has growing a variety of
crops Like most town farmers, Mr.
Turner is experimenting largely. He
has just recently completed a second
big tobacco barn, and this year he has
ten acres planted to filler tobacco.
In addition to field crops Mr.. Turner
has a splendid garden, and a young
orchard, in which are planted a va
riety of trees, including some that are
rare in this section. The trip proved
one of pleasure, as well as profit, and
it was clearly shown that, despite the

of the President and Mrs. Taft were
issued to one thousand guests, among
whom were the official representa-

While the unwilling of the statue at

of the day, there was another part of
the program that was of great inter-
est to the Pennsylvania veterans.
This was the unwilling of Pennsyl-
vania memorial tablet at Fort Sted-

teresting exercises. George w. Aug
henbaugh of York, Pa, presided, and
Rev. ]. B. Shontz of McKeesport de-
