Questions:
LACY SHAW has smoked his meat two days. Is that enough? No, by
most. R.H. Lansdale and some others say that you cannot tell the difference
if it is not smoked at all.
S.P. Thomas has noticed that many farmers in the upper end of the
County picked their corn and as a result did not get wheat seeded until late,
some November 15. Will this late wheat make a crop? The winter has been
favorable so far. It has a fair chance.
M.J. Stabler reported receiving a very interesting letter from
Eric Englund telling of conditions in Finland.
M.J. Stabler has a sow that was brought to his place to be bred
and owner will not come to get it. What should he charge for board? 50 cents
per day.
Frank Willson has nolls that were in hay and he wishes to keep in
hay but sod is getting thin. What should he do? Disc lightly, lime,
fertilize and add some seed.
Wm. H. Gilpin seeded lespedeza and orchard grass with barley last
year. He got lespedeza but no orchard grass. Should he sow more grass
this Spring? It will not pay unless he discs or uses some other method of
preparing a seed bed.
S.P. Stabler announced the Chest X-Ray to be held at Sherwood on
March 9th.
