Largely attended Meeting in Ambler Opera House Under Auspices of 'Montgomery County Farm Bureau and the First National Bank of Am¬ bler.
.Vearly 300 persons, fai-mers iind their wives, sons and daughters all--nded t.he convention in Ambier oiK'iii iiouse on Tuef-. evening inthe interest of b'li¬ ter corn and potatoes, the meeting having boon iirriuigod bv the First National Bank of Ambler und'a- tho auspices of tho Alontgomery county farm bureau.
Fo;- several years past the Ambler bank has awarded abih prizes among ils depositors for the best one-acre aiiJ the best live-acre tiiu-ts, and the iiio- vation has been so well received that an educational sei-^sion was planned, at which not only speaker's but sci-tl ri picluius as well might be available for th growers who desire furthoi' to compete for those prizes durin coming   season.
Through the courtesy of A. K. Itoth- enbergor, agent of the local county farm bureau, speakers a.nd slides w ,1-e secured, and the closest attention was paid to  bolh  during the  ovening.
The prograni opened with a more or .less humorous pictui-o, thougli with a a lies moral, on tho subject of "Uncle Sam Putting Hiram lo Work," wherein the value of seed selection, formalde¬ hyde iroiitment before planting, careful cultivation and proper marketing wire mast visably presented.
Following were slides on potato growing, plant conditions, treatment of vine!-, leak, comparative results as to spraying, etc. At the conclusion of this tecr .en Air. G. F. Miles, specialist on plant diseases, of State college, gave an illustrated talk on "Potato Diseas¬ es," in which he urged tiie necessity of economic production, likening th-. i>ola- to plant 10 a fully oquipijed factory. He urged the spraying of vines with Bordeaux mixture, and sJiowed fous- generations of plants, and the yield ther from under tlie best and most careful conditions contrasted with tho yield  from  untreated   vines.
Air. E. J. Walters, exteii.<ion special¬ ist, spoke on corn growing, dwelling particulaily on care as to the choio\i of seed and tests as lo -vitality. The root system, cultivation, etc., wire empha¬ cized, and tho speaker aaid that under normal condiiions the gro%lh of wv.eds is more lo be guai-ded against until the corn has grown lo a height of two feet than dry weather ip to be feared, and in his closing remarks be told tlit farm .rs just wh^it to do in order to win next fall tho ca.sih prizes to be awarded by  the Amblor bank.
