Irust Gsher3l DisSnsston GA
AsaSow askiax-s Crop
Corr Neat.

The farmers we're TOO busy yesterday for
them 10 turn out 10 tie meeting Of the
West Michigan Farmsrs' Club. President
stebbing called the meeting 10 order.
W. ". johnson, OF the Mix COMMITTEES,
reported that one OF his COMMITTEES Was IA
favor OF an Inspector, and he read al ex-
tract from an agricultural society tayoring
Milk Inspector The report vas against
sn organization, but IA favor o. an lnSpec-
tor President S,ebbins said that TIE milk
men preferred an Inspector.
T. A stowe, of the Iradespsaa. represent
ing the Retail Dealers Association, made a
few remarks fssoring the Inspector. who
should also inspect vegetables, meats. etc
Mr. Fuller offered resolution that the
club join with the Dealers Association and
petition for an inspector of milk, meat and
produce. which Sas carried.
w. w. Johnson thought that the best
way 10 keep up the fertility OF the soil Was
10 look alter the barn dumDings, and
clover snd plaster 10 be the best thing.
Mr. Linderman was opposed 20 plaster
because there was enough lime in bis land
He thought that our agricultural colleges
ought 10 take piece of land, snalyze the
soil. and then tsrn under the green crops,
and then analyze II again to ascertain
whether il has increased IN fertility. he
favored rye.
Mr. kellogg would improve the fertility
of the soil with clover and plaster. lie
would sell more butter, beef and mutton,
and send less wheat 10 England.
Mr.. Norton was also in favor of clover
and plaster. He thought the plaster should
be ground very fine.
Mr.. kellogg generally put 10 10 $50
As nf F,fa Sfe 10 Ha
not SOW rye nj all; did not think il got
growth enough to do any good.
Mr.. Linderman was very much in favor
of sowing rye in the fall and piowing up in
the spring. very much like making a man
work all day and then work ali night TO
get ready for the next day.
Mr. Pears&ll thought that salt sown on
the land was good thing; also rotation
of crops. A well stocked farm was a good
thing for the farmer.
Mr.. Van Buren was in favor of plaster on
clover, snd then piow il under.
Mr.. .PeaIsall thought that the clover ought
to be plowed very deep and crop raised
without plowing again.
Mr.. Knapp spoke in favor of clover. He
had sown rye three years and his land
grew poorer.
S. Knapp was in favor OF plaster when
there was a rain.
Mr.. Adams, was very much in favor Of
clover as fertilizer. He had seen clover
roots forty-two inches in length.
Mr.. Norton made quite few remarks on
the snhject of butter.
Subject for next meeting. THE Best Mode
OF Preparing the Ground for q Crop of
Corn"
The following committee was appointed
to act with the Retail Dealers Association
to get up the programme: e. n. Norton, s.
S. Bailey and s. l.. Fuller. On motion ad-
journed to meet the second Monday in May
