March 13, 1948 979th Meeting
THE ENTERPRISE CLUB

The 979th meeting was entertained at hoe of our President,
Wm. W. Moore. The only walk taken was a short one to inspect the
twenty five white faced cattle in the barn yard. Our host and his son
had purchased these cattle to utilize the surplus grass and to save on
mowing cost. They had been wintered on hay and moderate grain ration
and had some thru the winter in a good thrifty condition. Guesses as
to weight were around 800 to 850 pounds, our hosts who were selling were
inclined to use a higher figure while of Club members who were possible
buyers were using a lower one.

A detailed inspection of the chief enterprise on this farm was
not made. This enterprise is a large and well kept orchard of apple and
peach trees. The products of which are stored in the large cold storage
plant and are sold at retail prices at the adjoining stand.

After the usual delicious Planfield dinner we had a short
social period and then were called to order by Wm. Gilpin who served as
Chairman in place of our President who was host. We had as guests W. J.
and R. B. Thomas, Keith Himebaugh, Mr. Furst, Mr. Young, Col. Moorish,
A.D. Farquhar, T.Y. Canby, Thomas and Henry Hyde. Absent were Jackson,
McReynolds, Albert Stabler, Hurey Stanton, Frank Wilson, Wesley.

Minutes of the last meeting at the Moores were read and those
of February were read and approved.

The Farmers Convention Committe reported a successful meeting.
