which he can only recommend for
soft corn early in season or using it
as sweep power for shelling and
other purposes. Some fine speci-
men of Stark and Ben Davis apples
from his young orchard. Cattle in
good condition nicely stabbed and
sheltered for winter, there being
eighteen head of Jersey and Hol-
stems. Also a fine brood SOW and
eight shoats. The horses and
mules also in fine keeping, showing
care and thrift. The members of
the club and visitors present all
fully united with the report of
committee.
Alfred McVey asked for informa-
ton regarding alsike clover. In
reply NJ. @. Reeder stated that he
has sowed it in connection with
his red clover for years and would
not be without it, as it often catches
when the other does not; and also
it re seeds itself and thus lasts for
several seasons. He sows about
6 quarts per acre, ] alsike and
3 d clover mixed.
Jas. Maxwell sows but one
pound per acre mixed with 5 OTIS of
red clover; has very satisfactory
results.
William Shepherd inquired
whether soy beans were suitable to
SOW with oats. This question was
referred to Elwood Balderston who
replied that although he had not
sowed soy beans, he believed that
they were not adapted to sowing
with oats, nor were the COW peas,
as the weather is not warm enough
for the peas when oats is usually
sowed. Others knew of Canada
peas being used with oats
with good results. Elwood
Balderston informed the club that
he had received a package of
vetch seed from Jos. T. Roman,
Oregon City, Oregon, the latter
having seen a query for it in the
proceedings of this club at a pre-
vious meeting. The seed will be
carefully sowed and the results
watched with interest. The proper
time for sowing however will not
be till fall.
Jos. S. Scarborough wished infor-
nation regarding Kentucky blue
grass for permanent pasture. Our
guest Alfred Mackey replied that
some ten years ago he sowed one
bushel per acre broad cast after
drilling his wheat, timothy and
clover being sowed as usual. That
he has had splendid set and good
pasture ever since.
The President appointed j. P.
Wilson and Alfred McVey to audit
the treasurer's account, who re
ported that they found the account
correct as follows; Balance from
last year, $12.13; dues col, $3.50;
one membership, fee 81 90; making
total, Sl9.63; Paid out: expenses
M. G. Reeder corresponding secre-
tary, to BALTIC, 1926; Cecil E.
Ewing, arranging and writing up
the minute book to date, $1,000;
Balance in treasury, $4.3S.
The above was approved and the
committee discharged. Annual
dues being in order those present
paid their assessments, amounting
to $500.
Elwood Balderston and Alfred
McVey were appointed a committee
to enquire into the cost of telephone
service in rural communities and
report to next meeting.
The Club then adjourned to meet
with Elwood Balderston on the
18th of March.

DRINKING AND THINKING.
Pointed Reply TO the Flippant In
quiry Of n Writer Mho
Iscd Liquor.

We wish TO answer seriously seem
ingly nippant inquiry, emitting, OF
course. the signature of the writer, says
ihe New York American.
"Will you tell me how manage ta
think my most beautiful thinks in
drink?'
Some men really do their best work
under the influence of drink for this
reason: Drink has weakened their
nerves and put their constitutions and
vitality below par. They do their best
work when they drink, just as poor
thin. abused. tired cart horse does his
best work when he IS lashed with a
whip. This does not speak well for the
whip. does it.? Il does not prove that
the lashing Of the horse Is a noble
process or the whip an admirable instru-
ment II simply proves that If you
abuse an unfortunate creature and rem
der him unfit for work. you must abuse
him suI more TO get a little work ont
of him
You think your most beautiful
thoughts in drink for various reasons.
In the first place. when you drink
you are quite easily pleased. and you
are pleased most easily with yourself
If you were sober. your thoughts would
not seem so beautiful to you. Often
what You think I'm drink you would be
,,er, eorrv 20 hear rcpeated I'm your dull
sober hours.
In the second place. feeling is essen
tial 10 any strong thinking. IT is es-
sential to the expression of any strong
emotion. The man who drinks hard or
even comes 10 rely to any extent upon
drink has dead nerves and a dead imag-
ination when his drink time is over.
Drink sets the heart 10 beating II
sets The blood TO pumping through The
brain; It stimulates the mysterious COM
bustion OF matter which results ir
thought. and emotion becomes stronger
I'm proportion TO the strength that ac
companies this combustion
The coward wants 10 fight when he is
drunk. He has some feeling The dul
mind gets imaginative. u has som'
/ feeling. This does not elorify the COW
ard or make the dull mind better. II
usually makes both ridiculous and pm
/ thetc. In addition to being cowardly and
dull.
Stop drinking for six months, sleel
two hours more per day than You sleel
at present. take I'm more fresh air thinl
steadily and soberly instead Of talkin'
boisterously, as you probably do no"
We venture 10 predict that you will sooi
find sprinelng up In your head SOM
very acceptable thinks" with whicl
drink will have nothing todO.
