June 19th, 1926.

The June meeting of the Enterprise Club was entertained
by Newton Stabler on June 19, 1926. This was the Club's 731st
meeting. The active members not present included T. B. Stabler,
Dr. Christie, C. L. Gilpin, S. P. Thomas, Francis Thomas, M. J.
Stabler and Harwood Owings.

The guests of the evening were: M. O. Stabler, Lawrence
Stabler, J. W. Jones, F. L. Thomas, C. F. Brooke, William Thomas,
Tarlton Brooke, Mr Pool, Mr. Beall and Dr. Brightwell.

Our chairman being absent, William Moore was asked to take
his place. The usual "Walk" was taken with T. L. Jackson as
foreman.

The apple orchard, the garden, truck patch and timothy
field were visited; a good prospect for apples, a wonderful field of
timothy hay (for this year), an asparagus bed with no weeds in
sight, and a very fine looking young peach orchard besides a
well filled and well kept garden were some of the Secretary's
notes as to said "Walk."

After a delicious supper, including home grown lamb and
strawberries, business was resumed.

As per custom, the "old" and last minutes were read, the
latter approved.

This being Election night we proceeded to elect a chairman
and secretary for the ensuing year.

Our Chairman who has so faithfully filled the position
for several yeards, was among those absent; taking advantage of
this fact it was an easy job to re-elect him unanimously. Had
the Secretary been absent, I am sure they would have elected
some one else, but the tellers reported he was re-elected by
a very small majority and a very large protest.

C. E. Bond and Rust Canby were asked to collect the yearly
dues of $1.00 per member.

Crop Prices:

Wheat --- $1.59 bu. Potatoes --- $3.00 bu.

Corn ----- $3.50 bbl. Hogs ----- $0.15½ lb.

Hay -------$26.00-$27.00 T. Beef Cattle $0.09½-$0.10¼ lb.

Questions:

Newton Stabler asked if any one knew of a two-horse wagon
he could purchase. Mr. Crum at Spencerville has one.

Asa M. Stabler again called attention of the Club to raising
more alfalfa. The subject was discussed at length; leaving
the impression that we should grow more of this variety of
clover and it could be done by using more lime, innoculated
seed and a thorough cultivation of the soil.

M. O. Stabler purchased a sow last fall for $35.00, she
now has nine pigs for which he is offered $10.00 apiece and the
sow weighs 400 pounds. He asked which would pay best sell now
or feed the pigs and sell them next fall. The Club thought his
net result would be greater if he sold now.
