FRIEND Harris, SIR.-At the annu-
al meeting of the Farmers Club, held
at DR.. J. Prices, H. d. SmaIley was
elected President; Cornelius Wise,
Vice President; w. H. Bettes, Treas
urer; 7. F. Merriam, Secretary. The
question ordiscussion was Farmers
Leaks"
DIR. J. Price thought one reason why
Farmers did not succeed better was
because they did not labor hours
enough as rule.
j. 2. Coe thought attention should
be called to undertaking, as this was
absolutely necessary in many cases in
order TO secure a good crop.
IL. d. SmalIey claimed much was
lost by farmers by not selling their
crops when ready for market. Many
held Tor higher prices and lost by
shrinkage and waste more than was
gained by higher price. As q rule,
he would sell crops as soon as possi-
bic alter har esting.
One member If the Cub thought
that a large waste was sustained by
Farmers every year by not taking
proper care of farm tools.
w. Ii. Bettes said success did not
depend so much upon the number of
hours man worked, as in the proper
manner of applying labor. Brains
needed cultivating as well as the soil.
After some miscellaneous talk, the
Club adjourned to meet at H. D.
Smalley's in two weeks.
Jan. 26, II. d. Smalley's residence.
Discussion resumed. T. f. Merriam
thought that Insurance was one source
of leakage to the Farmer; was in fa-
vor ofa home, or township insurance /;
no money 10 be paid in except when
actual loss occurred then each member
to be taxed sufficient to make up the
loss.
DIR. Price, T. Case, H. D. Smalley
and j. P. Coe indorsed the sentiment
of Mr.. Merriam.
w. FL. Bettes thought lightningrods
should be included among the leak
ages of the Farmers. Had but little
to say about insurance; was we'll sat-
istisd with Ohio Farmers Company :,
thought il Farmers would more gen.
orally insure in this Company it would
be better for them could net see why
the Farmers of State could not i'm
sure in one company as well as the
Farmers of township.
The corn question was introduced
and quite lively discussion was had
on the different varieties. But all
seemed to agree that we should select
such varieties as would mature in this
climate. The opinion prevails that
there is more nutriment in yellow
varieties than in white.
Both meetings of the Club were
we'll attended and much interest man
ifested.
Adjourned to meet in two weeks
at Truman Cases residunce. Quas-
tion for next meeting will be .'Labor."
