April 10, 1948 - 980 Meeting

The ENTERPRISE CLUB

The April meeting of the Club was entertained by F. W.
McReynolds at his apartment in Washington. Though the setting of our
meeting was a bit unusual for a farmers' Club, the hospitality and dinner
provided by our hose and hostess were cetrainly more than equal to any offered in Sandy Spring, and the meeting which followed proved to be of
unusual interest. Our host, while living in Sandy Spring in the Summer and Washington in wnter, has his principal aricultural interests in a
ranch in Mountana. Guests for the eveing were Senator Ecton and Repre-
sentative D'Ewart of Montana who contributed greatly to the interest of
the evening by telling of agricultural conditions in Montana. Also
present as a guest was H. B. Stabler of Washington. Absent members
were: W. H. Gilpin, Hurrey, Jackson, S. W. Moore, Lacy and Ben Shaw,
Albert Stabler, M. J. Stabler, Stanton, G. A. and Frank Willson, Walter
Wilson and L. S. Wesley.

When the meeting was called to order after dinner by our
President, W. W. Moore, the minutes of the last meeting with our host
were read and those of the March meeting with W. W. Moore were read and approved.

Crop price were giving as follows:

Wheat $2.54 Calves $28.00

Hay 25.00 (slow) Potatoes 4.00 cwt.

Cattle 27.00-30.00 Apples 2.00 - 3.00

It was noted that the Baltimore market had handled 56,000 more cattle
during 1947 than during 1946 and that from January 1 to April 1, 1948
it had handled 10,000 more than in the same period of 1947.
