Ellwood Panl, of Ambler, aaid the wiuter grain looks poor and the roots of the clover aeem lifted out of the ground, Olover aeed will be mnoh higiier in price than laet year.
larael Hallowell, ot Bethayres, said he tliinke if farmera desire to save tlieir frnit they must apray soon. He spoke of the great qnantity ot apples that had been pnt in cold storage and which will have to be eold at a lower price than they wonld have bronght lu the autumn. He thinks it a mistake to store so much fruit.
On domeatio economy, Mra. P. P. Gheen said she had heard ot a uiau who planted mouldy corn to see if it would grow. The experiment proved a success, aa the corn apronted all right. The farmers preseut thonght the germ iu mouldy corn wonld uot be strong anough to prodnce a healthy crop. One member doubted that farmers oould get sound corn to plant this spring.
Isaac Parry, who, with Uharles Kinsey, had been appointed to atteud the aOtli anuivereary of the Wrislita- towu Farmeis' club on Feb.

Wm. J. Hallowell, in answer to a queatiou, "How Much Will Hnv Lose in We'.giit From Beiug Wtt'^' said lie is sure it does lose both iu weit;lit and quality from weiring, but is not pre¬ pared to say how much Newton E. Wool said he had pnt iu a mow of hay,which was lu good I'cmdiiion, but wliicii had I>e»u wet once and he found that a load ot tlie <iiwo size as he nsauUy put ou would weigh 500 pounds less than when the hay liad unt been wet, and as he had nsually put ou about 4500 pounds and this year could load ouly abont 4000 }iouuds, he thinks the hay has lost abooc iioO ponnds to the tou.
Mrs. M. E. Panl gave an interesting acuocnt of the liie of Clara Barton, Red Cross nurse,
William Peurose, ot the committee ou current topioa, spoke ot ths auto¬ mobile race uow iu progreaa aud also of the decision of Swarthmore to re¬ ject the .Teanes bequest. This raised quite a storm of protest, as aeveral of the membera think the publio ie some¬ what diaappoiuted in Frieude.
Isaac Parry had been given the question, ' 'Who Is to Blame for thv Money Panic':"' He said ihat Presideut Roosevelt haa certainly pricked the bubble aud let out the air and the watered stock,but perhaps it ie a good thing,aa il is uecessary that a reaction shall oome sooner or later,
A deferred qnestion in reference to the best fertilizer for the garden was answered by Morris Hallowell, who aaid he thinks potaah very easential for root plauts, but that mauy peraona use nitrate of soda for making rapid growth of viues of other plants above the ground He conaiders stable manure very esseutial for the garden. Several important and interesting questions were deferred on aoconnt of the absence of thoee appointed to answer them.
