N. @. Danforth gave report of
his work as county deputy for the
past year. He asked TO be relieved
from the work for the coming year and
S. j. Baldwin was recommended.
Upon the topic, 1.-THE Possibilities Of
an Acre." M. Crawford said that few
farmers ever raised possible one. At
Penn Yam, Pa, 206 bushels of shclled
corn had been grown upon one acre,
and 200 bushels upon an acre in South
Carolina. The average yield Of wheat
is about 13 bushels per acre, but 20
bushels have frequently been grown
in the United States. and in Europe
as high as 40 bushels have been
grown. To do this, however, the wheat
plants were transplanted and cultivat-
ed by hand labor through the season.
900 bushels of potatoes have been
grown upon an acre in Summit corn-
ty. 800 bushels of onions have been
grown upon an acre in this county.
In Texas it once required 30 acres to
pasture a cow, and now milk pro-
ducer there keeps so cows upon 30
acres.
Growth of plants depends largely
upon temperature and moisture, aud
the successful farmer supplies water
in part by checking evaporation by
frequent and shallow cultivation.
| s. ]. Baldwin said that the members
of farmers club at Nelson, cOmpet-
ing with each other. raised from 81
to 122 bushels of shelled corn upon an
acre. So bushels of wheat. 76 bushels
of oats and $50 of potatoes. These
results were due to increased care aud
cultivation.
Upon the question, SIS 1t Possible
to Forecast the General Character Of
the Season. s. j. Baldwin said that
facts becoming known about storms
and winds indicated an affirmative am
swer. The most of our storms coIn-
mence upon the Pacific coast, where
the warm moist air accompanying the
ocean current from Japan, met Il cod
current of air, coming down the coast
| from Alaska. The contact impaired
