Cecil Farmers Club,
Proceedings OF Meeting Held at Home
Of Martin L, Thompson ON July 5Oth.
= = ). ). = =

r. T. Cameron asked if it is q
good plan to put lime on wheat.
Jos. 7. Grove thought it was q
good plan.
A. Ell. Mendenhall had received
good results by that method.
Ell. M. Mccullough attributed
small yield of wheat this year to
cold weather and frost late in
spring.
Reuben Reynolds reported hav-
ing noticed a field of very early
wheat at Faggs Manor, Chester
Co., Pa, which had yielded 80
bushel to the acre.
The host being called on for an
essay, introduced DR.. J. /. France,
who read a very valuable paper Oh
"The High Cost Of Living, From
the Viewpoint of the Farmer"
The following committee was APP
pointed toinspect thepremises: I.
Wayne Reynolds, Palmer McFad-
den, Reuben Reynolds. An ad
|jonrnment was taken for dinner,
the hostess and daughters having
prepared a spledid repast which
was thoroughly enjoyed by every
one.
When the Club reassembled, the
committee reported the premises in
splendid order, and everything
looking well, four acres of good
potatoes worthy of special mention
four good horses, eight head cows
and three heifers, six shoats, two
brood sows, eight pigs, two fat
hogs, all looking well. Barn and
barn floor full Of. hay, corn field
clear of weeds and looking well,
garden clear of weeds and vegeta-
bles growing luxuriantly. The
committee called special attention
to the fine spring of water in the
front yard.
Discussion on the essay of DIR.
France developed the unanimous
favorable opinion and approval Of
| the Club.
Mr.. Mccullough taking up the
question of inequality Of taxes and
the heavy tax falling on the farmer,
said that when the tax commission
or appointed by the Governor came
to Elkton, only six people had re-
sponded to the call for public
meeting, and the people did not.
seem to be alive to the question.
Bonds and stock not taxed enough,
the burden coming on the farmer
because he is not organized. But
the problem is for him to solve.
The Pennsylvania Agricultural
College had received 81, zoe, 900, as
against $4,000 for the Maryland
Agricultural College. And further
demonstrated the need of organiza-
tion by the farmers. The interests
in seeking legislation had been
selfish, that the farmer would never
get justice until he demanded it
with power to enforce.
On motion, a vote of thanks was
extended DIR. France for the able
paper provided. A further dis
cussion was had as to the amount
of lime to use per acre. It was
stated that lime man had said one
ton of hydrated not too much.
Mr.. Cullen said he had used 100
per acre without seeing any benefit.
Mr.. Mccullough extended invi.
tation to the Club to attend Elk
Neck Farmers Picnic August 18th
at Thompson Grove.
The Club, taking up the question
Of having the August meeting par
take of an entertainment feature,
on motion, the following committee
was appointed: Elwood Balders.
ton, G. r. Biles, A. p. McFadden
and r. X. Rawlings, with power
to act.
Mr.. Reeder reported hogs for
sale, Mr.. Thompson, small pigs for
sale. On motion, adjourned.
