Farmers' Talk.
The Sandy Spring Lyceup held its six
tenth annual meeting Tuesday last. and, COM
posed as it is of the most aggressive farmers OF
Montgomery and adjoining counties, its deli
berations are always read with interest After
a full days discussion of the several questions
before it, practically unanimous decision was
reached. The club decided that hog thist!es
can be killed by frequent cutting and propaga-
ted by frequent blowing; that The importation
of foreign labor is preferable to using celored
labor :; thrt South C,rolina Rock is good and
desirable phosphate; that the acreage Of VI heat
should be increased that creamsries are desra-
BILE in each county; that it pays from Is to so
Der cent TO cut fodder in cutting boxes. and
that it does not pay to top and blade corn, nor
to use sulky ows. The club was organized
in 1874, and keeps records, from which appears
that tie aver 1, of wheat raised to the acre in
1874 was 10 ushe's, in 1884 from q to 30
bushels. Corn in 1874 t, four and two-third bar
rels, in 1884 ten barrels Other crops show a
like increase. President HalIowel in taking the
chair made some remarks well worth the atten-
lion of farmers, especially the croakers among
them. He said n subst. nce that the prosperity
of farmers de erves our attention. How differ
ent from the manufacturer, those plant, en-
ployes and expenses, compel him to keep often
at loss to his operations Farmers are dis
couraged at low prices at times, but they are
always sure of enough 10 eat and wear. They
can live, even if they find they must practice
some self denial The farmer does not feel the
crushing of that iron hand to bich mercha n is
and manufacturers submit Of necessity. Let
us not be discouraged, but learn to farm better
and 10 be better ana wiser men.
