secretary of the Hagerstown fair, al
so unqualifiedly praised the exhibits.
Beck said Tuesday it had been plan
ned to make the exhibit an annual af-
fair The teachers of the township
will meet before the show Is over and
plan for next years program. The
work of district 10, which won q sill
yer cup, was especially praised. Dis
trict was second. and district 8,
third. A feature of the show was the
seed selection, the corn scoring ex-
ceptionally high. Wheat and oats also
made a fine evidence of careful selec-
ton.
The vegetables were abnormal in
most instances. and the jurding was
confined TO quality rather than size.

farmers cultivated a profitable side
line we'll What fruit was shown was
