ed in the Court House at Salem.
alter IL O'Clock tire meeting
was called to order by President Jos.
Cooper. The roll was called by
Secretary II. &. Perry, of Freisberg,
which disclosed the fact that very few
members Of the Board were present
Plltsyrpye township being the best
represented. Mr.. Perry then read
tie minutes of the last meeting held
at pennsgloye. Mr.. Perry's report
contained "a very good synopsis OF the
several speeches of that meeting. At
this tine there vas some discussion
with regard to having the following
resolution, which was offered at the
last meeting by j. W. Pancoast taken
off the minutes:
WHEREAS, The past few years have
proven the u. ,. Senate to le tn,
stronghold OF ~cOrpOrate monopoly
and,
hbttEAS, OiIC VI llb NtW bVtoFs .
Senators is II high official of the Penn.
X. r., IN vi the greatest corporal ions
III tile country, and there are grounds
for believing that the other Is i'll league
with him; therefore
RESOLVED, That the Salem County
Board of Agriculture regardsit as high
time that our u. 5. Senators should
neither be the officials or the tools of
great corporations, and pledge our
efforts TO the election of Il Senator
next winter who will better represent
the people of the State than they now
aie represented.
AS 10 action was taken the resolu-
ton WAS left Oh the minutes.
The committee appointed on the
railroad resolutions of last meeting
reported through The Chairman j. W..
Pancoast. Mr.. Pancuast reported that
lie had not gotten any legal advice as
to the question. Lambs if Grated, by
the sender, will be sent now at regular
rates. Te favored the continuation
OF the committee.
The committee was continued.
Suggestions for the benefit of the
organization was called for by Chair
man Cooper.
Richman Coles, of Pilesgrove, men-
toned the fact that the ide,, of the
Board having this meeting in Salem,
was to rails an inteIes among farmers
in that end Of the county. -.
Empson Atkinson, also of Piles
grove, suggested the question of large
aud small farms be discussed. He
thought farms were too large.
President Cooper thought it did not
take much more outlay to cultivate
a large farm than a small enc.
NJ. ID. Dickinson thought the ques-
ton owed much 10 circumstances;
depended on the e~apability of the
farmer. Some are capable of running
a large farm to advantage. Others
are not. If the lands are poor and
proprietor cramped by circumstances,
small farms are advantageous. If the
land is good and the farmer has plenty
of capital The large farm is the best.
Benz. f. Strengthen Of Oldmaist town
ship said that III market gardening
too much farm is worse than not
enough. He thought the boss should
always be with his men. Cut a farm
up and do the same kind Of farming
We do now "a man could not make a
living. A large farm well-tilled is
more profitable than a small sone. a
man has no right to occupy u large
farm if he has not the means to work
il.
Z. w. Borough, President of the
State Board of Agricultural, spoke
directly after the calling OF the after
noon session. III speaking of the New
jersey experimental farm he intimated
that men of more prac.ic experience
should be at the bead, and as illnstra-
ton showed the impractical manner
in which the State farm was drained,
10y using tile too small. He urged
upon the farmers the necessity of meet
ing together and organizing to better
their condition. y + Farmers wives
he considered the greatest slaves the
country hal. In Camden county they
have organized plan of hsring the men
and letting them board themselves,
Thus giving the farmers wife less la
Dor.
Mr.. Burrough also spoke of meet
ing amember of the Philadelphia grain
exchange, and to the question whether
farmers had better kept their wheat
instead of selling it now, he was an
swered that they had better keep it
OH account of big failures of wheat III
Minnesota and other ives ern States.
The above printed resolutions was
again introduced by J.. Walter Pan
coast, and after much discussion was
adopted.
Tie subject of hog and chicken
cholera was discussed. Empson Atkin-
son said the best remedy for hog chol-
era was to kill the whole pen as soon
possible and ~renovate the premises.
Hog cholera can be cured, but the
sickness stunts the animal and he will
not grow. He had had the disease on
his farm and consequently had no hogs
for two years past.
The next meeting will be held in
N oyember, at WoodstoOwn.-RegiSter.
