WOoDLAwN AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY
The July meeting was held at Dillworth
Ruckrnan's, on the 5th instant, President
Roberts in the chair and n. w. Pierson
secretary.
The frequent and abundant rains since
harvest commenced directed attention TO
the best way to secure wheat from the rain
before it could be threshed. 1t was OBJ
served that where too many sheais were
put in a>shock the inside was found to be
wet Notwithstanding it was well capped.
No more than ten sheais should be put IN
shock, using two of them to form the cap,
was the general opinion, although some
used no caps, but simply pressed the tops OF
the sheafs together.
Some anxiety was expressed as to the
future prospect of raising wheat in this sec
ton at a profit, yet there appeared TO be
no better crop to seed down with grass than
wheat.
How shall we eXterminae the many
noxious weeds that infest the land? was
answered, by thorough cultivation. plenty
of lime and manure, and thick seeding OF
grass seed.
Whether from the hot sultry weather, the
unusually busy seas on, or some other cause,
there was 10 report of the critics the past
two months. 1t was thought advisable to
call them to account at The next meeting oil
the club.
After considerable discussion, aud can
wasting among the 'honsekeepers,' 1t was
decided to hold the annual meeting at Col

THE New WHEAT CRoP.-New wheat is
beginning to arrive and .he offerings are in
creasing daily. Owing 20 the constant
storms during and since harvest and the
'sweat" that by nature it undergoes alter
being cut and stacked much of the wheat
is in very poor condition. and is undesirable
for either foreign shipment or local milling
uses, as it will not bear storing in bulk. The
Virginia planters sow large crops, and as Il
general thing do not have barn or house
room to properly care for what they grow.
tits serious mistake for the farmers to allow
their wheat aud other small grain to be
threshed damp and out of condition, espe-
cially when the markets are so depressed as
they are this season. Labor in the cities Is
very expensive and the cost of handling or
drying is in every way much greater than
on the farm.
