The 815th meeting of the Enterprise Club was entertained by P.G. Ligon on Sat November 11^th, 1933. Those who met at Triadelphia found that garland had been feeding his 14 fat cattle and most of them were beginning to show a finnish. A lot of hogs and his 25 stock cattle compleated the livestock on this productive tho hilly farm. When we reached Homestone others had gathered there and we noted that M. H. Bancroft, G. R. Canby and C. L. Gilpin were absent. Guests were O. W. Anderson, T. Brooke, W^mDimwiddie, J.J.^and H. G. Hutton, Mr. Hawthorn, J.W. Jones, R.H. Lansdale, Henry & Harwood Owens, M.O. Stabler and W.J. Thomas.

After a delicious turkey supper and the usual interval the Club was called in executive session and by unanimous vote Harwood Owens and Samuel P. Thomas were asked to again become members. P.G. Ligon and Albert Stabler were asked to see Harwood and C.B. Hurry & F.L. Thomas were named to call on Samuel.

When this session was over Wm Moore called the regular meeting to order and

both sets of minutes were read and those of last month approved.

There was no written report from the Community Council.

Crop prices this time are as follows - Wheat 94 Lambs 6⁵⁰ - 7⁰⁰

Corn 2²⁵ - 3⁰⁰ Apples 1⁰⁰ - 1⁵⁰

Hay 15⁰⁰ Potatoes 75 - 1⁰⁰

Hogs 4⁸⁰ - 5¹⁰

At this time our host asked Mr Lansdale to read a paper he wrote for his own club. The theme was that the Farmers are a very favored class ^written in a light vein it showed the immense sums spent for the Dept. of Agri. and other agencies the fact that some, such as the Weather Bureau benifited others more than they did the farmers.
