President Davis W. Sill called the
meeting of 9pe Horsham iFarmfers'"
club to order on the evening of September 9, at the bome of Israel and
Elizabeth   Ely,   in   Jenkintown.
Attes the minutes were approved
the executive committee reported,
time and place of next meeting, the
evening of October 7, at the home1
of Russell and Charlotte Twining,
Current Events, Ezra Ciirrell and
Mrs. Elizabeth H. Bonner. Referred
questions: "Does it pay to use nitrogen
wltb. commercial fertilizer-" H. Warner Hallowell. "Will dehydration be
of any benefit to tbe farmers? If so
in what way? Tell all you know about
it?" John N. Adee. "Why do vegetables and fruits figure in decorations
for Hallowe'en?" Elizabeth J. Yerkes.
"Who is winning the money wasted
in strikes?" William Penrose. "HoW
shall we spend the rainy days on the
farm?" .Newton E. Wood. "How shall
the women of the farm spend rainy
days?"   Susan   J.    Williams.
Saturday of referred questions;
"What is meant by standard time?
When and where was it established?"
Benjamin Park answered this at
length and very clearly. Standard
time he said is governed by the sun.
When it is in tbe meridian we call
lt noon. Geographers have divided
the surface of tbe earth by meridians
which on the equator, are one degree
apart and which converge to the
poles. . At the Washington conference in November, 1883, time was declared officially to Ue standard lp
those sections of tbe country which
counted from the meridians 60 de-*
grees, 75, degrees, 90, degrees, 105 degrees and ISO degrees. Ou.r immediate
neighborhood ia on the 76th meridian
and our time is known as eastern
time, Suitable names describe the
time on the otber meridians, all of
which call the point noon when the
sun ls over the meridian. This is the
reason why we notice the change ln
time in going west.
"What in your judgment is untold
Wealth?" Mrs. Ely Gave a wonderful
answer to this question Among other
things she said. If one's mental and
physcial forces function are through
life, tbat person has untold wealth,
She referred to the previous meeting
of the club when we listened to, tbe
ideadstoj each speakef on tbe topic asi-f
signed, and she felt at the time tbat
any one who can reach and follow
these will have untold wealth. "Has
machinery, added to knowledge?"
Frank Carroll said in his opinion
[Knowledge is the child of thought not
of machinery. One machine, the printing press,, disseminated knowledge,
but knowledge is more of life#.thah,
or   machinery.
"How shall 1 make my home attractive to my family?" Mrs. Howard
Hallowell ' said she referred that
question* to the three wbo composed
her* family. One said, have good eats;
another, have plenty of company. For
herself she had tried to sound out her
duy's with, one" word in mind, the
word  "cheerfulness."
"Is a kindergarten a help or a
hindrance to the school life of children.'" Mrs. Walter Paxson on said
Emphatically," "a help;" It gives the
children habits of observation, we all
know how they can go along and
seen to see but little around them.
This ability to see things is important
They learn to use their fingers and
all their bodies. They learn to respect
the rights of others.
Tbe crop committee H. W. Hallowell had read reports of wonderful
crops through the country, but he
considers yields to be decidedly average. The fruit was pretty good where
the blossoms had riot been frozen, it
seemed unaccountable why they had
been frozen in some places and not
in others, just as much in danger.
There seems to be a good crop of
wheat. But the prices look as if the
people abroad had not enought
money. The potato crop is below the
average, although hay is above previous years.
As domestic science seemed to have
no answer the hostess inquired if
there is any need for economy nowadays.
Current events Mrs. William Penrose gave a resume that seemed to
cover every place.
Cider wm remain sweet for years
if immediately run through a cream
separator^ and their canned like fruit
that  has   been   heateu.
Howard Hallowell found the most
important question of the hour to be,
how shall we keep our houses comfortable this winter? He had been
experimenting with soft-coal, and he
is sure we can use lt very well.
Tbe club Gazette was well read by
tba newly elected editor, William
Oehrle. Report of tbe previous executive commit te who had-charge of tbe
picnic in August. All expenses were
paid and the balance, $4.50, paid to
the club treasurer. A vote of thanks
was given to the committee' and to
the Misses Goentner for the very delightful occasion. Mrs. N. -E. -Wood
gave a brief history of the community
meetings that have been so helpful to
all for the past years. Tbe neighbors
have desired that tbe Farmers' olub
take the initiative on this occasion,
They have always inaugurates the
movement, but want to follow thia
time. The club voted to have the
community meeting, the committees
to  be announced next meeting.
Mr. Ezra Carrell very entertainingly told of a recent trip to within a
few miles of the northern boundary
of the state when the people there
speak of the country in the vicinity
of Philadelphia they call it the far-
lands" and compared with that section they have named it well. There
the people depend on what they raise
themselves though they have Deled
lights and most of them drive good
cars.   They  are   so  far  from  a  krm
as happy and contented with their
lot as we are wltb so much about us
to contribute to our comfort.
\ An invitation was given to everyone
to contribute to ward and to attend
tne cafeteria supper tbat the directors of the Hatboro Library are giving on September 13 at tbe Library
After a pleasant social hour the club
adjourned.
