The prizes for this group were as follows: first and second to farmers of Indiana County, third to W.J. Brown, fourth to Ray F. Brown and fifth to Corn Brown, all of Mill Creek, R.D. The poultry show at Harrisburg was limited to the Wyandotte breeds. Our county was presented by the Mickey Poultry Farm with several entries.
This show differed from other departments of the Farm Products Show in that the exhibitors were allowed from every state in the Union. The Mickey Poultry Farm exhibited in the Partridge Wyandotte class and this class included birds from Ohio, Indiana and several New England states. Mr. Mickey’s birds won the following prizes: fourth young pen, fifth pullet and seventh cockerel.
Raystown And Penn Central Companies Are To Consolidate — Raystown Co. An Enterprise Supported By Local People — For some time there have been rumors of a combination of Raystown Walter Power Company properties with the Penn Central System. It is now definitely learned that an agreement to that effect has been executed to be carried out upon approval by the Public Service Commission but not before March or April. The Raystown Company was chartered in 1906 and its dam and power plant were completed in 1911. Its lines extend from Newton Hamilton in Mifflin County to Roaring Springs in Blair County. With this combination, the Penn Central Company, already large, becomes one of the principal Service Companies in the State.
