Woodlawn Farmers. Club.

Reported for the ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE.
The Woodlawn Farmers Club met at the
residence of ]. Norman Gibbs on the II tn OF
May, President Pierson in the chair.
The minutes having been read and ap.
proved, the President asked, "How can sor-
rel be- effectually eradicated?" He had
noticed that on spot in his field that was
missed when the timothy seed was sown the
sorrel was much thicker than on the other
parts.
A. w. Harrison said that where the sor-
rell was most abundant with him liberal
use of manure had so stimulated the growth
of grass as to crowd the sorrell cut. The
general opinion seemed to be that thorough
tilage and liberal application of manure
would remedy the evil in q great measure.
A general discussion then ensued about
the increasing prevalence OF weeds, .especi.
ally plautain. This is becoming a great
nuisance in the moving fields The only CT.
fective means of destroying it suggested was
to put drop of muriatic acid on each plant.
We think this came from our weighty mem

was commented upon and the very sudden
and radical change from wet to dry weather.
1t would seem that old Aquarius, the water
bearer, had been demorslized by the labor
troubles on the planet and had gone on a
strike after having during the previous
week dumped the entire contents of his
gigantic sprinkling pot on his luckless mum
dane dependents. 1t may be necessary now
to petition the Signal Office or the publish
ers of the Hagerstown almanac, or both, to
try and concilate the diseruntied member
of the zodiacal company. In the course of
the discussion on tho general subject of
farming, low prices, &C., it was suggested
that as some of the Alexandria papers we're
so strongly advocating the policy of the
country people buying what they need near
home rather than go ont of the State for it
it would be we'll if some of the Alexandria
produce merchants would buy their supplies
of potatoes from Inc farmers rather than get
them from the North or foreign countries
and thereby fill the market here to the ex-
clnsion of home raised crops. The results,
the farmers hereabouls cannot sell their
potatoes for enough TO pay expenses OF the
crop.
The next meeting will be at E. E. Mason's
on the Sth of June.

over their section OF the country auo III

eo,diers in the war between the states, It Is
only natural that those Of the South shooio
