Mr. Du Pont asked if his farm was producing an average crop.

Many present thought his farm was producing more per acre than
the average Montgomery County farm, and several commented on the
improvement of his farm since our last meeting there.

Douglas Gilpin asked what to do with a corn field that was full
of timothy.

If the stand is poor, re-plant; otherwise cultivate frequently.

William Moore was told that Laurel was injurious to sheep, and
would kill them.

Samuel Thomas asked how the prospect for fruit this year
compared with other years. Prospects much better this year, and good
prices expected for good fruit and no market for inferior.

Dr. Christie has a fine old horse to let in exchange for a good
home. J. W. Jones accepted the offer.

Frederick Gilpin asked how close trees should be mulched.

To within a few inches of the trunk was advised.

After many expressions of a very pleasant meeting we adjourned
to meet with Rust Canby June I4th.
