January 10, 1948 - 977th Meeting
THE ENTERPRISE CLUB

The Club met with P. G. Ligon on a cold January afternoon. In
spite of the weather several members and guests met at Mr. Ligon's "Quarry
Farm" for a tour of inspection. We found the good herd of Angus cattle
comfortably housed in the large barn and adjoining shed. This farm is completely
mechanized and the former hose stalls were bein used for a young
bull and some heifers which wre being fitted for a Spring breeder's sale.
They showed the results of good breeding and good care. The cows and heifers
in the main herd were in good thrifty condition and were enjoying good quality
hay. The corn crop in the corn house was of very poor quality; there being
some beetle damage, but most of the damage apparently coming from a nutritional
disturbance to the growing plant which was probably caused by drought, blight
or borer damage.

We next visited the "Porter Farm" which is also owned by Mr. Ligon
and saw some more Angus cows and heifers. We then repaired to Mr. Ligon's
home where we were joined by some of the less hardy members and guests for
dinner and the meeting.

After dinner the meeting was called to order by President, W. W.
Moore. Guests included: Mr. Bean, R. H. Lansdale, Ulric Hutton, Mr. Selby,
Malcolm White, Mr. Nicholson, A. D. Farquhar, W. J. Hines, W. J. Thomas,
T. Hyde, O. W. Anderson, Mr. Small and Mr. Kirk. Hurrey, McReynolds, Albert
Stabler and Frank Willson were absent.

The minutes of the last meeting with Mr. Ligon were read and those of the December meeting read and approved.

The Committee to study distribution of road tax funds reported on
a meeting held at Olney Inn with representatives from the other Clubs, a delegation
from the State Roads Commission and the Montgomery County Commissioners.
