C. L. Gilpin called the meeting to order and requested
our taking a walk over the farm before dark. Albert Stabler was
selected as for[e]man.

This being our first meeting with Harwood Owings, the
place was new to many of us. We saw a nice lot of sheep, some fat
hogs which were for home use, some shoats and cows, all in good
condition.

Harwood told us that he had put in 70 acres of wheat.

On reassembling at the house the minutes of our last
meeting were read and approved.

No reports from committees.

Crop Prices:

Wheat $I.58 bu. Apples $0.50-$2.00 bu.
Corn (n) $6.00 bbl. Potatoes $0.90 bu.
Hay $2I.00-$22.00 T. Hogs $0.10 1/2 lb.
Beef Cattle $0.07-R0.08 1/2 lb.

At this point we were invited out to supper, which every
one seemed to enjoy immensely, roast lamb always has made a hit
with the club.

On resuming business the Questions were in order.

Harwood Owings has a clover field which was not cut for
hay, and asked if the dead clover would interfere with next year's
timothy crop. Some members thought not, others would plow the
field for corn. He also asked how much per month to charge for
feeding Steers, the steers to get all the hay, soy beans and fod-
der they would eat. The price ranged from $4.50 to $6.00. He was
told to sow I bushel of blue grass to the acre.

Albert Stabler distributed some Agricultural Department
information on Garlick. He asked the price of pigs - $2.50 each.
He wants a Berkshire boar. Tom Hyde has one.

Milton Bancroft asked what to do with a field where the
sweet clover had failed to come up. Sow oats for hay or soy beans
and then grass.

Richard Lansdale asked what it was worth to pasture sheep,
from I 1/2 cents to 2 cents per day.

J. W. Jones asked if you could set alsike or red clover,
alone, in August. No one had tried it.

William Moore asked if it were safe to pasture sheep in
an orchard. Yes.

E. C. Thomas was told that from $4.00 to $5.00 per month
was the price for board of a horse, which was to be fed grain once
per day.

Tom Hyde asked if there was any market for loose hay. No.
It must baled for our markets.
