Judge Corn Exhibits
The corn section was a busy place
to-day, farmer boys judging for
valuable prizes the samples sent In
from all over the state. For prizes
in this clas the visitor could ogle
three magnificent ewes, which were
quite wonderful, but not so over
whelming as the prize stock from
State College. One of the officials
of that school explained that the
Pennsylvania farther is to be taught
to cultivating more pigs and sheep.
To this end they have on view the
last word in well-bred animals of
this denomination. There Is a
brindle hog of mixed breed beauti-
ful enough to keep in anyone's par
lor, and the one-year old sheep sug-
gest that farming this animal
would be worth while. The farmer
is being urged to Craze his hogs in
stead of feeding them on grain en-
tirely. Thus, for every 100 pounds
of pork produced the owner can save
100 pounds of grain. Twenty-Five
pigs can be raised successfully on
less than one acre.
The prizes awarded for growing
potatoes were decided and given out
last night, as follows:
