FRUIT DISPLAY AT SHOW
TO BE BIG FEATURE

With record breaking apple crop
in Pennsylvania, this year, and with
other fruit crops showing considerably
above the average, the display of fruit
at the Fifth Annual Farm Products
Show this year will be the finest ever
gotten together in the State. The
farm products show will be held in
Harrisburg, January 24-28 and it will
bring into competition the finest fruits
grown in every section of the State.
More than twice the space available
at the shows in former years, will be
devoted to fruit this year, and already
many growers have stored away their
entries.
The Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture has arranged for cold ator-
age facilities for the fruit entered in
the show, and the fruit may be sent
to the show in care of the department
at Harrisburg and it will be properly
cared for in storage until the show
opens.
In addition, cold storage facilities
have been provided at Biglerville, Ad-
ans County, in the heart of the apple
belt, and fruit for display at the show
may be forwarded at any time in care
of H. F. Hershey, care of Biglerville
Pa. The fruit will be stored without
cost to the grower.
The first exhibit at the show will be
open to all Pennsylvania growers and
no entrance fee is charged. The judg-
ing will be done in accordance with the
approved score card of the American
Pathological Society and the following
