Deer Creek Farmers Club.
| The Deer Creek Farmers Club met at the
| home of Mr.. William B. Hopkins on Friday,
July 29th. His farm is beautifully situated
near the Susquehanna river, and has long been
| known as one of the most fertile farms in the
| vicinity. 1t contains about 800 acres, over
twO-thrds OF which are arabic and in high
state of cultivation.
The active members present included the
| president, Hon. Stevenson A. Williams, and
| Messrs }. Lawrence Mccormick, James Lee,
Harry Silver. w. Beatty Harlan, John Moores,
Edward p. Moores, John d. Worthingtoh, John
! s. Webster, X. Harris Archer and William b.
| Hopkins. The visitors were Messrs. George b.
! Silver, Joseph L. Spencer, w. c. Wilson, Chas.
| D. Silver. Henry Bruins, DIR. Lee Hopkins and
! DIR. Joseph Gerald.
| The committee on inspection was composed
| of Mcssr:;. Mccormick, Worthington and Silver
| They made the following report: Tine wheat
| stubblc showed Il tirst-rate set of clover and
| timothy en- it. Tomatoes and corn look well.
| The large barn was well filled, horses were in
| good shape and cattle doing finely. He has
sold cattle ut IL good profit, and those which
| have been shipped showed good weight. Every
| thing about the premises was i'll good order.
| The farm has plenty of timber on it. There is
an abundance Of the very best quality Of
| locust.
| Mr.. Moores said farmers in olden times used
| large quantities of lime, but afterwards nearly
| abandoned its use. The last few years, however,
| Il great many farmers in different parts OF the
county have been using it again, and he would
like to know what had been their experience.
So the subject for discussion was chosen, as.
| follows: Recent Experiences in the Use of
| Lime as Il Fertilizer"
| Mr. Hopkins said that on his fathers farm,
on Deer Creek, great deal of lime was used
| when he was boy, with good results He had
| had no recent experience on the farm he now
| occupied, but his neighbor, Mr.. James stephen
| son, some years ago, killed his land by the APP
| plication of too much lime, having used as high
us seventy-ilve bushels per acre.
! Mr. Bruins said the Rock Spring neighborhOod
has been improved Immensely by using lime.
| The farmers there apply it to the grass. He
| applied some himself on the corn this spring,
| with good results SO far The report OF the EX'
| pertinent Station says that twenty bushels per
acre is enough. He thought it IL cd idea to
| have a lime house and apply the lime in a dry
| state as it slaked. But when Mr.. Bruins was
questioned about his growing crop of corn, he
admitted that he had also put on about 500
| lbs. of good phosphate to the acre, which might
be the cause OF his good looking field of corn.
Mr. Mccormick has been using lime FOR about
| three years and has had good results in all
| crops, especially corn Thirty bushels per acre
ia about the right quantity. He had doubled
the yield of hay where he applied the lime.
| Mr. Harlan has used lime, to a limited extent,
for the past few years, but has been disappoint-
ed with the result. He got about IL thousand
bushels of oyster shells and burned them. They
cost him about -four cents per bUshcl. He put
it on the land in the fall for next springs tOma-
toes 1t is good fertilizer to use with phos-
phate. AT any rate his experience with lime
has not come up to his expectations, He thinks
lime should always be applied to wheat stuhble
to act upon the young grass.
| Mr. Wilson has had no recent experience.
He has used lime thirty years ago on other land
| with good results some years, and others none
