Rust Canby was requested to act as foreman for the walk which
took us through a splendid field of timothy hay to a potatoe sic field
which looked as though a big crop would be forthcoming. The garden, as
usual was well advanced and in good condition.

On returning to the house the "old" and last minutes were read,
the later approved.

The road committee still assures us of a mile more concrete
road from Colesville north, but they give little encouragement of any
improvement on the upper end of the old pike.

Questions;

C. L. Gilpin asked what price you should get for hay in winter
to equal the present value of $20.00 per ton from the field. Most every

Timothy heads was referred to the Agriculture Department.

He asked the price of Kale seed, and was told 50¢ per pound
was the wholesale price.

Lamar Jackson told us of killing a lot of garlick sic by mowing it.

his soy beans planted, they would probably ripen in time to sow grass.

advised to pasture it rather than cut it.

George Wilson got little adives as to how to get rid of wild
sweet potatoes - thorough cultivation seems to be the only hope.

John Janney asked when to sow sweet clover in his corn; after
the next, or fourth, plowing.

J. W. Jones questions as to what he should pay a "working
foreman" supplying his own equipment, brought out considerable and varied

however, ranged from $50.00 per month to $2000.00 per year.
