No. 6. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 511 



an exhibit of corn, and we could see then what was going on and 

 then get the best. I do not know whether it would be right for me 

 to make this as a motion, but it strikes me as though we ought to 

 do something along this line. 



MR. NELSON: Mr. Chairman, I think that is a good suggestion; 

 I think it might be possible to broaden it out a little. We had that 

 up in our county, to have some general exhibition in that line and 

 whether that would be practicable and how far that would go would 

 depend on the action taken by this Board, whether it will only be 

 just for fruits or to include some of the cereals also; there may pos- 

 sibly be some contest in that line, and there may be some very good 

 specimens if put on exhibition and the question is, How far will we 

 go in that line? 



The SECRETARY: My thought is that the people in the com- 

 munity where we meet can make just whatever kind of a display 

 they care to make. That will be part of the reception that will be 

 given to the Board. We don't care how large it is because usually 

 the fruits are divided among those that are present. I don't know 

 that any of us will care about carrying away any corn. 



MR. HERR: Mr. Chairman, I had the pleasure of attending a 

 meeting at Atlantic City, and there I saw one of the finest agricul- 

 tural exhibits I ever witnessed in all my life. It was simply the 

 products of New Jersey, attractively arranged by the different 

 Pomona Granges of the State of New Jersey. Now I would like 

 to make a motion, to allow Clearfield to make a competitive exhibit 

 at the meeting, if it is held there in the Fall, if they do it at their 

 own expense. 



MR. BLYHOLDER: I would ask the gentleman if he hadn't just 

 better make it that any county where the meeting is held as well as 

 Clearfield county. The idea I want to include is, that any place 

 wfaere we hold the Fall meeting it shall be done, so that if we see 

 fit to go to some other county, that they will be allowed to make 

 that exhibit. • 



MR. HERR: A standard exhibit? 



MR. BLYHOLDER: Yes. 



The SECRETARY: I don't quite catch your idea. 



MR. HERR: My idea was that the people of Clearfield county be 

 invited to make such an exhibit as they see proper to make, provided 

 they do it at their own expense. 



The SECRETARY: I second that motion. 



MR. BLYHOLDER: Mr. Chairman, I would move you then, that 

 the motion which calls for an exhibit of fruit be so amended as to 

 read "fruit and corn." 



MR. HERR: Mr. Chairman, I will amend the motion by saying 

 "cereals." 



MR. NELSON: I second the amendment. 



MR. HERR: Mr. Chairman, my motion was to amend the motion 

 made by Mr. Blyholder; his motion has not been acted on yet. 



The SECRETARY: I only heard the one amendment. Mr. Bly- 

 holder's motion was that the standing resolution shall include corn,
