! Cecil E. Ewing was authorized
to act as corresponding as well as

Wayne Reynolds said he had
!sOwn about ten acres in grass in
August and it had not come up.
He had since narrowed it and put
in timothy and it now looks fine.
He asked why and was told it was
on account of the frequent rains
this fall.
\ Elwood Balderston said he had
tried to stimulate his potatoes by
putting on 100 lbs. of nitrate in ad.
dition to the potato phosphate.
He was not satisfied with the result
as he had only gotten 800 baskets
from two acres.
:. Mr.. Boss who recently moved to
this section from the western part
of the state was asked to relate his
experience with potatoes. He said
he had planted the Mccormick
variety which seemed to be I'M
known in this section. This
variety must be planted late and
not taken up until first week in
4 November. He had planted two
acres on July ID and IL acres On
the Goth. He added nitrate of
soda and got better results, getting
} a yield of 125 bushels per acre.
This variety is large potato and
should not be marketed until
spring as they are very poor eating
before that time. If marketed
just before new potatoes are ready
a good price can he obtained and at
that time the Mccormick has at
! tanned its best flavor.
i A vote of thanks was rendered
both Prof. Mcdonnell and Mr.
Boss for their interesting addresses.
