SCIENTIFIC AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY.
The second meeting of the Scientific
Agricultural Society convened last
Thursday evening at 7:30 o’clock. Mr.
K. M. Trigg, the vice president, called
the meeting to order and with quite
appropriate remarks introduced the
speakers of the evening.
Mr. C. C. Morris, president of the
society, was first on the program. Mr.
Morris has spent the summer on some
of the large stock farms in Ohio and
di dnot return to the college until sev
eral weeks after the opening. He made
the show circuit with a fine herd of
short horn cattle and visited the most
prominent fairs and stock shows of
the Middle Central states, among
which might be mentioned the Iowa
State Pair at Des Moines and the Kan
sas City Royal at Kansas City. He
gave the society an outline of his ex
periences and observations concern
ing rural life in the North. Be touched
on the wages of the farm laborer and
the environment in which he lives, the
relation of tenant and landlord and the
systems of rental there in vogue.
Wages were low and hours of labor
long for the farm laborer, while rents
ran as high as one-half the crop for
the landlord. The high price of land
necessitates intensive methods of
farming; and where we have fence
rows or turning rows to grow up in
weeds, the Ohio farmer thriftily turns
these waste spots to account by plant
ing to corn or grain. Saturday is not
half-holiday there, but all business so
far as the work hand is concerned,
must be conducted after working
hours. Banks and stores were open
to customers long after nightfall to
accommodate those who were too busy
to visit town in the day. The push and
hustle of the small country towns, as
pictured by Mr. Morris, were quite a
contrast beside the sleepy inactivity
shown by many of our smaller rural
villages. Mr. Morris closed his talk
by showing the educational benefits to
be derived by a vacation spent in the
North, and strongly urged everyone
who could to take some such trip.
Mr. Montemayor, next on the pro
gram, presented with much clearness
“The Live Stock Industry of the North
ern States.” He put in the past vaca
tion on the large stock farms of Dun
ham & Co. at Wayne, 111., and J.
Crouch & Son, of Lafayette, Ind.,
where Percheron and coach horses
were specialties. He brought out the
fact that live stock improvement has
been brought to a much higher state
of perfection than in the South. Meth
ods of feeding the stock and caring
for them inthe winter were quite dif
ferent to the propositions —« are up
against. Mr. Montemayor made it plain
| that any A. H. man could not call his
| education complete till he had worked
j among some of the fine stock farms
: where only the best is produced.
Mr. Jennings gave a very compre
hensive review of the Dallas State
Fair. All the exhibits of agricultural
j importance were noted and the educa
tional value of the various thing^
there shown emphasized.
The program was concluded by Mr.
Johnson, who read a paper on “Rice
Growing in Texas.” He gave a thor
ough review of the rice industry from
a practical standpoint, which could not
fail to prove of interest to anyone in
terested in rice culture.
After the rendering of the regular
program the question of changing the
name of the society to something
shorter and more appropriate was
brought up. Prof. C. M. Evans, of the
Extension Department, who had the
honor of being the first president,
gave a short address on the value of
the society and its future field of work
and then brought up the question un
der discussion. He thought the plan
for a shoter name a wise one.
No action was taken, however, and
the matter will receive further atten
tion at the next meeting.
