good stand. the standing wheat helping
termination by protecting the clover.
Mr. H. S. Coudon said if the farmers of
Cecil looked to clover as a panacea for all
their ills, they would be disappointed, as it
required some fertilizer to produce it. He
instanced case where farmer had for some
reason been compelled to discontinue plow-
ing clover under. Something cannot be
grown from nothing. If big crops are de-
sired. some manure must be used, for clover
alone as fertilizer will not do it. His opin-
ion was that there was but little fertilizing
principle in lime. We are now recommended
to discontinue the use of artificial manures.
While his high opinion Of the value OF barn
yard manure was unchanged, yet some
equally efficacious fertilizer must be used if
large results are expected.
Mr.. Sutton asked Mr.. Kirk what in his
opinion was the best season to sow lime.
Mr.. Kirk replied that he had secured the
best results by using lime on wheat stubble
He had used it on ploughed ground in the
spring without benefit.
Mr. Henry S. Coudon offered the following
resolution. which was unanimously adopted:
Resoired, That the directors ofthe so-called
Agricultural Society Of Cecil county have by
their recent action in subleasing the racing
privileges of the Fair grounds to foreign
association of gamblers, which association
was driven from the soil of New Jersey, and
,rb;cb ;c NOT allowed IN n foothol1 in nny
other state. have transcribed the authority
granted them by our Legislature-have ex-
hibited q total disregard for the wishes of the
great majority of our citizens, and have for
feited all claim to the support and encour-
agement of the farming community: that we
earnestly hope that our representatives in the
next Legislature will not only repeal the act
lcgalzing the pool selling on the fair grounds,
but will also withhold any further State aid
from the concern. and we urge the members
of this Club who are stockholders of the
Cecil Agricultural Society to attend the meet
ing of stockholders advertised to be held on
November 18th.
At this point dinner was announced, when
the president designated Mr.. Henry $.
Coudon the committee to examine and report
on Mr. John W. Falls hotel. premises. etc.
On assembling after dinner, Mr.. Coudon
reported. that the dinner served the Club was
most excellent and that Il personal inspec-
ton Of Mr. Falls house shows. that its bed
rooms, in their ncatness and order are very
superior and home-like, which report the
olub unanimously endorsed
Mr. Waters asked Mr.. Kirk if he had
planted winter oats and how he treated them
this year?
Mr. Kirk replied that he had not planted
any this year.
Mr. Waters suggested that crimson clover
was excellent to follow winter oats, sowing
early in the spring, being then ready to turn
down for wheat the following fall.
The president of the club called the atten-
ton of the members to the hour of the
monthly meeting of the club viz, 10. 30 a. M,

hour. it being the hour fixed by the bylaws
