ANNUAL POTATO SHOW
HAS EIGHTY EXHIBITORS
Large Number Attending Prove
That Greater Interest Is Being
Taken By People of County
PRIZE WINNERS NAMED

With eighty exhibitors in the Sec
ond annual Garrett county potato
show, held Friday and Saturday, an
increase of thirty over the number
for last year, the exhibit was consid-
cred a great success by John H. Car
ter, county agent, and those who at
tended the show.
Greater interest was shown in the
exhibit by the people of the county as
the building where the potatoes were
being exhibited had many visitors
during the two days, Mr.. Carter said.
He also stated that the quality of the
exhibits had been improved and that
the exhibitors had used better judg-
ment in selecting the exhibits.
The show was held in the Naylor
building on Alder street, under the
supervision of the county agent and
in cooperation with the vocational ag-
riculture divisions of the high schools
of the county. The Interstate potato
show was also held in connection with
the countrywide exhibit and was under
the supervision of L. S. Hartley, ag-
riculture agent of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad.
Over two hundred dollars in prize
money was awarded by the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company, the State
Horticultural Society, the University
of Maryland Extension Service and
Garrett county. The building for the
show was loaned free of charge by
Arthur Naylor.
