Harris Grove Farmers Club


On Saturday, March 26, 1904,
the Harris Grove Farmers Club
met at Silver Glen, the home
|of Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Selvy.
Five members were absent.
Visitors: Mr.. and Mrs. e. G.
Jones, Mr.. and Mrs. H. L. Jones,
bert Weed, Misses Allie Fra
Izier, Eva Weed, Fannie How
ard, Grandma Jones. James
Clark, Misses Viola and Nettie
!Scebold and Mr.. Aldrich.
Owing to the bad roads the
members were late in arriving,
and club was not called to order
until 1l:30 a. m. Minutes of
last meeting were read and APP :
proved.
Selections were read by Mrs.
Longman, Mrs. Alice McKin-
ney and Mr.. Longman.
Club then adjourned two
hours for dinner and visiting.
During the noon intermission
we were pleasantly entertained
with music on the phonograph.
At 2 p. m. the club was again
called to ORDERLY the president.
After listening; to some excel
lent music by Mr.. Vanderhoof,
Mr.. Weatherly and Minnie
Weatherly, selections were read
by Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Beebee,
which called forth remarks by
several, which produced quite
ripple of excitement among the .
sedate assemblage of old club
ties. Some Of the masculine
portion of the assemblage,
thinking they we're getting
worsted in the "war of Words"
called for the next on the pre-
gram, which consisted of reci-
cations by Maggie selvy, How
ard Jones and Clyde Jones.
Taese recitations were spicy,
we'll delivered and interesting
to all.
Next came the discussion of
questions:
1. 1t was decided that the
reason American manufacture
e s can sell farm implements to
foreign countries for less money
than the American farmer has
to pay is that American manu-
featured articles going to for
eign countries come in compe-
tition with goods of the same.
kind manufactured in that
country, while the same kind
of goods in our own country
are protected by a tariff and
controlled by trusts, so there is
no competition in this country.
2. Wanted to know how and
when to prepare a hot bed suit
able for a farm garden. Ans.
In the fall excavate a cavity 10
feet long, a feet wide and three
feet deep, and inclose with
boards. About the middle of
March, fill in two feet coarse
barnyard manure, and cover to
THE depth of one foot with dirt.
Cover with glass or coarse cam
vas. Always put on the water
lin the evening.
3. Is the Hungarian Bronze
grass suitable for pasture? Car
Tried over.
Questions for next meeting:
1. What is the best and most
durable fence for a house yard,
cost considered? Referred to
w. A. Selvy.
2. Would it be for the best
interests of the corn producers
to increase the yield of corn
10 bushels per acre? Discus
sion opened by H. H. McKen-
ney.
Committee on questions for
next meeting: B. A. Divelbess,
Mrs. Stern and Mrs. Selvey.
After more music, club adj
journed to meet with Mr.. and
Mrs. Fensler the last Saturday
