Sportsmen Get Club Home

Herald of July 13, 1944

The Martinsburg Sportsmen have taken on a very interesting and practical project in the shape of a small farm with buildings suitable for making a very convenient and comfortable club house. The farm is located about one half mile east of Beavertown, near Tussey mountain, and adjoining the home farm of Ivan Dick. There are seventeen acres in the plot, and a good house and barn to start with. The property was bought from Mrs. Elsie Smales, and was formerly a part of the large farm of her father, John Daughenbaugh.’

Owing to the misuse of hose privileges during the past week or two, the Martinsburg borough authorities have placed a ban on the use of borough water, through hose, for irrigation and scrubbing purposes until firther notice.

What is probably the largest crop of wheat known in the Cove for years is being harvested and threshed. The yield is extraordinary, reports of thirty-five bushels to the acre being received from a number of farms. Some years the average yield is 20 or 25 bushels.
