June 14th, 1924.

After having about thirty rainy days out of the past forty,
we felt fortunate in having such a beautiful afternoon and evening
for the 706th meeting of the Enterprise Club, which was held at Rose
HIll; Rust Canby being our host. The active members absent were Milton
Bancroft, Samuel P. Thomas and Maurice Stabler

The guests were Earnest Iddings, Mr. Hoskinson, Mr. Snarr,
Benjamin Thompson, Albert Reese and J. W. Jones.

The meeting was called to order by C. L. Gilpin; Albert Stabler
was asked to act as foreman for the walk. A visit to the corn field
showed us what can be done by the caroful selection of seed corn, for
the field looked as though the stand was I00% good. The orchard showed
what constant attention as to spraying, cultivation and fertilization
will do; the trees were well filled with apples. Our host said he look-
ed for 2000 barrels. A new peach orchard of 300 trees was in fine condition, with every tree growing as planted. The potatoesic field which had
been heavily fertilized and sprayed, looked like a picture a potatoe. sic
Field usually found in seed catalogues.

The hay fields, like everything else, were in excellent condition;
the portion of the timothy field where ammonia had been used,
was exceptionally good.

On reaching the house we found a delicious broiled spring
chicken dinner awaiting us. With new potatoes, new peas and Ice-cream,
we really felt that summer was in sight at least.

On resuming business the minutes of the meeting held at Rose
Hill last year and the minutes of the May meeting were read; the latter
with slight correction, being approved.

The name of Henry H. Stabler having been proposed for member-
ship in our club at the last meeting, was voted on, with the unanimous
wish that he be asked to become a member. The Secretary was requested
to apprise him of the fact.

This being election night for chairman and Secretary for the
coming year, a vote was taken, or rather a command was given, which
put the job up to the prosent officers.

Albert Stabler was asked to collect the Secretary's salary.

figures on a large wheat ranch in the west.
