A stated meeting of the Lancaster
County Agricultural ami Horticultural so
ciety was held iu their room in city hall
yesterday afternoon.
The following named gentlemen were
piesent :
Jeseph F. Witmer, president, Paradise ;
Jehn C. Linvill, secretary, Gap : Henry
M. Euglc, Maiietta; Calvin Cooper, Bird-in-Hand
; 31. D. Kendig, Crcsswell ; F.

seon, city ; Eues II. Weaver, Strasburg ;
Jehn II. Landis, 3Ianer ; J. G. Rush,
West Willow.
Crep Kepertbv
Henry 31. Eugle reported that the pros
pects of the wheat, grass and fruit crops
were geed.
Enes II. Weaver reported the old clever
frozen out badly in some sections, while
the young clever generally looked well.
31. D. Kendig agreed with the above
leperts, and added that in his neighbor
hood, icceutly several transactions in to
bacco had taken place, the prices obtained
for wrappets being from 13 te 23 cents ;
seconds 8 cents, and fillers 3 cents per
pound.
S. P. Eby, esq., said he had seen many
fields of old clever that had been badly
injuied by alternate freezing and thawing.
President Witmer said the young clever
also had been injured iu his neighborhood
by the frosts, but that it might rally Hern
the damage sustained.
Calvin Cooper icad an essay en
Apples I.ec:iI vs. I'eijtign Varieties
which will be found in full en our feutth
page.
CaspeFHiHer s.iid there was no mistak
ing the fact that in Laucaster county
apples cannot new be grown se well as
they were grown forty j'ears age ; he can
not explain why this is se, but is inclined
te believe it is due te a change in our sea
sons. We used tebe able te keep Smoke
house and ether varieties of apples as late
in the season as this, but it cannot bu done
new. Wc cannot compete with New
Yerk in the growth of winter apples, but
it does net fellow that the apple orchard
is therefore unprofitable, lie believed
an acre of apples en the farm paid better
than an aero devoted te anything else.
Even if no apples are sold the entire family
can be supplied with geed wholesome
fruit. But while one acie planted in
apples is a geed investment no Lancaster
farmer can make one hundred acres pay.
He- regarded the Grccu Pippin, the Ro Re
uianite and a few ether old varieties far
preferable te most new ones.
Eph. S. Hoever believed that the iii
ciease of inseets had much te de with
preventing our winterapples from keeping
as well as formerly. An examination of
the trees in September will show that
fullj one-half the fruit is affected by in
sects ; worms will bd found in the core of
the apples and they will net keep. His
plan of keeping down the insects is te
turn the hogs into the orchard as seen as
the apples begin te fall. The hogs cat
the apples and the worms tee, thus dc
streyitur the next year's crop of worms.
Any device that will destroy or prevent
the increase of insect pests is of great ad
vantage te the apple crop.
31. D. Kendig fully cndeised 3Ir.
Cooper's views as te planting of new va
rieties ; few of thein de well or come te
perfection. Fer several years past he has
been digging up the unpielitable varieties
in his orchard, and lcplautipg them with
ethers known te de well. He recommended
the 3Icllinger as a geed apple ; it will
keep from August te Christmas. Smith's
Cider and the Yerk Imperial are the best
te depend en for winter use.
C. L. Iluuscckcr lcfencd te the long
evity of the apple tree, mentioning a Rus
set that was 130 years old and bore thirty
bushels of fruit almost every year. He
mentioned some pencil and cherry trees
that had attained great age in ether parts
of the ceuntiy while hcie they arc shot t
lived. He declared that there had been a
great change in the seasons since he was a
boy, and atti United te this cause in part
the failure of our fruit crop. He did net
think the cuttiug away of tiic forests had
much te de with the failure.
In answer te questions a-dced Calvin
Cooper said he regarded the Bulleck Pip
pin as a veiy noed apple ; it holds high
rank. He believed that het, dry weather
prevents apples from properly ripening ;
and that if wc had during the mouths of
August aud September the same kind of
weather wc used te have, our fruit crop
would be as geed new as it was then.
Henry 31. Engle concurred with almost
everything contained in 3Ir. Cooper's
essay especially thafpaifc wherein he at
tributes one great cause of failure te the
bringing hcte of new varieties net suited
te our soil or climate. He advised amere
careful selection of winter vaiieties that
were known te de well iu the neighbor
hoods whcie they were wanted. The cur cur
culie and codling moth, the most destruc
tive of insects te the apple and plum,
might be kept down by prepar co-opera
tien among neighbors ; but if one farmer
works te destroy the iuscct and his neigh
bors de net but little geed can be done. Jle
favored the turning of hogs into the
ereluud te eat the insect-infested fiuit,
but this remedy is by no means complete,
as the larvjc of some insects leave the fruit
before it falls, ard make their nests iu the
crevices of the bark or ether parts of the
tree. The method adopted by sem, of
tying bands of hay, straw, &c. around the
trunks of the trees, allowing the larvsc
te harbor there for a week or two, and
then removing and burning the bands and
insects together, and placing new bands
areuud the trees, and repeating the opera
tion, was endorsed by 3Ir. Engle as a geed
way of keeping the insects down. He
confessed, however, that he knew of no
specific by which the insects could be de
stroyed and the fiuit saved. There is
much te learn yet iu apple culture. On
his own farm he did net gather a bushel
of winter apples the past season, and yet
en the oppesito side of the river, in an
orchard in which he has an interest, there
was a full crop of excellent apples, con
sisting of Baldwins, Greenings and ether
varieties, all of which ripened nicely and
some of which are yet en hand.
S. P. Eby, esq., thought that one cause
of the early decay of our orchards is
that the nurserymen aie often careless in
digging up the young trees. 3Iore toots.
and especially the tap root, should be left
en them. He believed it might be shown
that the very old trees spoken of by ether
gentlemen were seedlings, that had a
chance te sink the tap-root deeply into the
ground. He favored low- moist ground as
better suited for apples than high dry
ground.
C. L. Hunsccker remarked that in se
vere winters the trees en low ground were
liable te freeze, while these en high ground
escaped.
J. C. Linvill said the varieties that did
the best with him were the old Remanite,
the Paradise and the Newtown Pippin all
of which he had in geed condition at the
present time. He mentioned the fact, tee,
that he bad a Gejtling apple tree seventy
five years old that bears every year
though the apples are net very geed.
Mr. Engle closed the discussion by ob
serving that one cause of the failure of
our fruit crops was the impeverishments
of the land. The farmer crops his young
orchard with grain, potatoes or something
else until the trees become tee large te
permit of it longer, and then he puts in
grass and neglects te manure it. An
apple orchard should have annually as
much manure as is required for auy ether
crop, aud if the land is expected te bear a
crop cf fruit aud a crop of grass, grain
or potatoes it ought te have a deuble
quantity of manure. Only by liberally
manuring can we develop strong, healthy
trees. The best manured orchards pro
duce t he best fruits.
Keferred Questions.
" Should we onceurago the growth of
new varieties of apples ?"
The above question was referred for an
swer te Levi S. Reist. That gentleman
being unable te attend sent in a paper
which was read. 3Ir. Reist takes the
ground that only certain varieties known
te be suited te certain soils should be in
troduced. He says he has seen one vari
ety fail en rich alluvial soil, with a south
ern exposure, while it did well en a brick
loam with northern exposure net three
hundred yards away. Fer his own locality
he found Smith's Cider, Yerk Imperial,
aud Domini te de well yearly, and the
Gillyflower, King of Tompkins, 3Ion 3Ien 3Ion
meuth Pippins, Lebanon or Pittsburgh Pip
pins, Hudsen 3Ienarch doing well en al
ternate years. Of the old varieties he
would retain the Winesap.Seek-ne-farther,
Sheepnese and the Baldwin. The last iu
net a geed keeper, but is a prolific bearer
in alternate years and valuable for making
cider.
Sub-soiling,
" Is sub-soiling beneficial ?" The ques
tion had been referred for answer at last
meeting te Jehn C. Linvill, who read the
following paper in answer :
" Is Sub-soiling Beneficial."
When I was quite a small boy, my
father made himself a subsoil plow. The
late Jesse Buel was at that time editor of
the Albany Cultivator, and in that excellent
journal, proved by irrefutable and con
vincing argument, that the sure read te
successful farming lay through subsoil
plowing. The first trial of the new plow
was made in corn ground. The surface
plow turned the sod te the depth of about
six inches, and the subsoil ple'w followed
in the bottom of the furrow and loosened
up the clay from four te 0 inches deep.
This plow did net threw the subsoil en
top, but merely lifted it up two three
inches and let it fall back te its former
position. Twe teams were used a spau
of horses te each plow. It made it very
laboiieus for the lead horse of the surface
plow te walk iu the loose furrow. The
field of ten acres was subseilcd in alter
nate strips, the ether strips left in the
usual way. The subsoil in this field is a
rather still5 red clay and the land is lime
stone. I de net knew whether the season was
wet or dry, but there was no perceptible
difference in the corn, nor in the succeed
ing crops of eats, wheat or grass. It was
observed, however, that the subsoil in
the strips that had been deuble plowed re
tained its mellowness the following season
when broken for eats aud wheat. Of course
subseiling doubles the cost of plowing.
This and its signal failure te increase the
crops condemned the subsoil plow and it
lay for years in the lumber left.
At length there came another boom in
subseiling. The late lamented Prof. 3Iapes
was at that time cdite- of the Working
Farmer and showed by invincible logic
that a loose subsoil would let the surplus
water down iu a wet season and be equally
beneficial te retain moisture iu a dry one.
The old long legged subsoil plough was
brought out from its long hiding place ;
the dust and cobwebs swept off and the
shaie sharpened for action. The cornfield
was subseiled in alternate strips as en the
former occasion. The season was a rather
favorable one for corn aud there was no
perceptible difference iu favor of the sub
soil pleughing, cither en the corn or en
succeeding crops. The subsoil plough was
again consigned te the lumber left and
oblivion, where it remained until the salb
of my father's personal effects when it was
bought by an enterprising farmer en the
border of Chester county. I have no
knowledge of its subsequent history.
These two experiments de net preve
anything. If the seasons had been differ
ent;, or the soil different the results might
have been ether thau they were. Had
the crops been roots or vegetables or or
chard or nursery the subseiling might
have been beneficial. There is, however,
011c convincing argument agaiust subsoil subseil
ing. The system has been advocated
time and again, and yet nobody uses the
subsoil plow new. If it has all or even
a few of the advantages claimed for it
farmers surely would net be se slew te
discover its merits.
3Ir. Engle agreed with the essayist that
subsoil plowing is of but small advantage ;
though it is true that some years after sub
soiling a field he had the best wheat crop
he ever harvested.
Division Fences.
"Cannet wc dispense with division
fences with profit."
Eph. S. Hoever read an essay en the
subject. He answered in the affirmative.
By adopting the soiling system inside
fences might be dispensed with, with the
exception of a large cattle yard in front of
the barn, surrounded with shade trees aud
supplied with an abundance of water
for the use of the cattle. An average of
the whole farm land of the state shows
that the fences cost $1,124.25 per 100 acres
and in localities where timber is scarce the
cost is much mere. It is estimated that
the repairs te fences cost $0.32 per 100
reds, which added te the cost of the fence
makes $127.80 per 100 reds, which,
added ' te the cost of the fence,
makes $127.80 per 100 acres, net including
the value of the space occupied by the
fences. As the cattle arc kept stabled for
five or six months in the year, and fed en
the products of the farm, it will net pay
te fence a farm for grazing them the
balance of the year, especially when it is
an admitted fact that a much less acreage
of pasture will suffice te feed the cattle
under the soiling method when they are
allowed te run the fields and pasture at
will. Anether plan for dispensing with
interior fences is te have portable fences,
sufficient te enclose a few acres of pasture
at one time, and easily removed from one
place te another.
Jlcssrs. Linvill, Hiller, Engle and Eby
endorsed the views of the essayist. 3Ir.
Eby complained of the fence law of Penn
sylvania, which required farmers te fence
out ether people's cattle, whereas it ought
te provide that every man fence in his own
cattle. On his motion a cemmittc of three
was appointed te investigate and report
upon the feasibility of having such a law
enacted by the Legislature, The chair
appointed S. P. Eby, esq., Calvin Cooper
and F. R- Diffenderffer said committee.
Sewing clever Sd.
Enes H. Witmer, te whom had been
referred the question, " When is the prop
er time te sew, clever seed ?"- read a brief
paper, iu which he took the ground that
no rule could be given that would answer
all case?, but'he recommended from the
middle of 3Iarch te the 10th of April as
the proper period, the farmer exercising
judgment as te the best time in this inter
val. When the seed is sewn en frozen
ground, as seme de, in February, a sudden
thaw or heavy rain may wash the seed
from the slopes into the lowlands ; or a
warm spell may sprout the seed, and a
cold snap following may freeze the germs.
Bnilness for ex$ Moetlug,
The following questions were selected
and referred te the gentlemen named for
answer at next meeting :
" What is the best method te raise a
geed .crop of corn ?" Referred te Jehn
Rcsh.
"Should wheat be harrowed iu the
spring ?" Referred te Jehn H. Landis.
"What varieties of corn and what is
the best treatment te attain the largest
crop ?" Referred te Hebren Hcrr.
" Can commercial fertilizers be profit
ably used en the potato crop and hew
should they be applied ?" Referred te II.
31. EDgIc.
"Hew should lime be applied en the
surface or plowed under'.'" Referred te
Jehn C. Linvill.
