VOL. XIX. INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, JAN 19, 1884 NO. 3. BOABD OF AGRICULT-IE. Meeting of Members and Delegate* of State Hoard of Agriculture at their Rooms lu this City, Jannary 8, 9 and 10. Vsual Business Transacted, Members and Onii-cn. I-lceted, and * - ■'. Papers Read. TCEStlATr's HT-SSIO-f. Tuesday morning was consumed in the preliminary work of examining credentials and organizing the convention. The total membership of the Stato Hoard of Agriculture is perhaps a hundred, and tht nnmber in attendance last week was fairly large. Tiic addresses before tho Board were exceptionally good. Tho afternoon and evening ol the first day wero occupied by addresses by President Mitchell. Governor Porter, Dr. W. T. Htott, president ot Franklin College and Prof. J. H. ' Smart, president of l'urduo University. PRESIDENT ItOIlERT MITC-IEI.!., in his annual address, congratulated the Board upon its improved financial condition;, tbe debt Of fSO,O0r**ltvtl.g be*_n reduced to $40,000,. and the present value of the State fair grounds (including improve- - ments) being $200,000. He reviewed the characteristics of tho last fair, remarking that alt-tough, tbe Illinois fair was held the same week, tho stock show was as large and in some respects superior to formor years. • He believed it would be an advantage to abolish nil side shows on the State fair grounds, which, although a means of revenue, were disgraceful and demoralizing, and ought to have no part in an agricultural and mechanical fair. He also ■poke in the warmest terms of commenda- * tion of Purdue Universlty.suggesting that It ought to receive the united support of the farmers of the State and as liberal appropriations aa the other State colleges. Mr. Mitchell suggested tho idea of a fat atock show at Indianapolis. He said: The production of good beer ought to more earnestly engage the attention of the farmers in Indiana. Situated as we arc in the center of the great grain belt of the United States, with abundant pastures and surrounded on all sides with large and flourishing cities, an "-.astern and foreign market constantly increasing, we ought to Sroduce and market more good beef in In- iana than any ono of our neighbor states of the same extent of territory. Considering the "great interest the peopleof the jVeat take in the great fat stock shows of Chicago, and the fact of the rapidlv growing demand for beef forexporUtioii.would it not be advisable for our board 10 take action to establish a fat stock show at Indianapolis some time during tho autumn of this vear. Can we, as a people and State, aITc-rd to stand still, while everv other State and people are moving forward to advanced positions in this grand industrial march to furnish the world with beef. Indiana, farmors depend too much on wheat. State Bof.rdsof Agriculture ought to shape tbe current of agriculture in their respective states, and when the farmers of a State are found, to their own detriment, . running in the same channel marked out i by their fathers, State Hoards ought to 1. atimulato them and educate them to a different work, by inaugurating splendid county and Mate fairs and fat stock shows, at least to the extent of Inducing them to engage.in mixed husbandry, which is-nl- Ways more profitable than when labor is 1 to a single production. OOVBItNOR rOHTKIt by invitation addressed tho mooting. He suggested that the State fair was neither an agricultural nor mechanical fair. It was moro than cither or both of these. Tlie members of the State Hoard aro empowered by the law to offer a premium for tho advancement of nil tho sciences, the encouragement of which they deemed to bo in tho interest of the people of tho State, and not merely for agricultural and stock products. It was important, therefore, that gentlemen should be chosen to nerve on the board who are known not merely as agriculturists, but as interested also In all that is progressive in the interest of tho State. Ho had been impressed recently In noticing tho small number of the furmcrs who attended tho meetings of tliO different agricultural associations in comparison with the attendance at county and Stato fairs. Thoy do not fully realize how much agriculturists had been helped by other occupations outside of tholr own. Undoubtedly tho fanners contribute very much to the benellt of tho rest of the community, but thoy themselves have been benefited by the industry and inventive genius of others more than they know. For instance, tho draining of tho soil by improved processes, the cheapening of the ditch-making antl the Improvement of the tile, havo resulted in an improvement of from 25 to 50 per cent in the value of tho soil wherever drainage has taken place. This has como from tho Inventor. It is a fact, that tho whole process, from tho time ibo cultivation of the soil is commenced to tho moment of grain reaching tho market, has l*oon wonderfully improved, and nine-tenths of the aid thus received haa been from persons outside tho farmer's occupation. He has been wonderfully benefited by tho improved process of manufacturing flour, which has nearly added 10 cents to the valtio of every bushel of wheat. The cheapening of transportation is constantly benefiting the farmer more than anyone else. Tt now costs but 11% cents to ship a bushel of wheat to Now York. Thirty or forty years ago, it could not have been sent to the Ohio river for that amount, ln 1871 it cost 21 0-10 cents to transport a bushel of wheat from Chicago by lake and canal to New York. In 18.1 it could be sent for 8 2-10 cents. The statement Ls made, on tho authority of tho Railroad Commission of Ohio, that between tho years of 18*59 and 1881 the saving in that State in tho cost of transporta- tation was $347,G74,7o5, which was {21,000,- 000 more than the entire taxation of Ohio within three years. Tho address of Governor Porter served to show tho dependence that farmers put in the exertions of others and how little thoy cared apparently foradvico andooun- sel from those of their craft. ITON'. I*. S. RENN-EDT, of Montgomery county, read a paper on "Tho Grasses of Indiana." He stated that 100 years ago blue grass was considered a pest, and this serves as a fair illustration of tho way many good and valuable grasses aro treated now. Americans hare not yetlearned thoscience of grazing, and do not know what capabilities there aro in it. England's grass yields from $15 to $20 per sere with no labor. They know how to make the most •f their grass. W« moat systematica onr pasturing so as to havo a green sward In all seasons. Blue grass does not penetrate the soil doeply and consequently does not flourish tn dry weather. Orchard grass.on the other hand, sends its roots deep into the subsoil and makes an excellent growth In the driest of seasons. I have taken pains to gather information from leading stock grazers In various sections, and tho testimony is universally in Its favor. Mr. T. A. Cole, of Xew York, finds It his bost dairy grass, and ho feeds no other kind of hay In winter. With him lt Is always In the evening the Board listened to two addresses. Tbe first was by DR. W. T. RTOTT, of Franklin Collego, on the subject, "The Itelalion of Farm Life to the Prosperity of • the Commonwealth." no said: Not much Is expected of "them literary fellers" when thoy talk of farming. I have been a farmer'mysclf and am strongly prejudiced In favor of farming, ond do no. speak altogether from a literary standpoint. In speaking of the elements of a State's prosperltv, I would say that tho frst.-lo- ■ ment Is tlie rapid increase of lixed capital. groen and fresh, enriches the ground and I Without this the necessities of lifo would be no more abundant next year than tills, and thr-rs would bo no progress. _Snv*-,tho farmor is constantly changing circulating Into fixed capital," aud is therefore non- HL.ntly adding to the Mali's material wealth. Ills capital is fixed in the I'oriu of permanent Improvements, barns, lencos, roads, dliches, etc. Manufacturers sud merchants are often a-.tisfied lo get ihrutigh tho year without loss, while the larmcr is always disappointed unless ho makes an absolute gain. There are oO failures among manufacturers and merchants to ono among farmers. Tho Increaso of mntrrial wealth ln Indiana, in 30 vears, is shown by statistics: In 1S30 there '....co) fsrms in the Statu, and ln 1.J80, 194.0'X); in IbAO thero wero $H3,(itKl,iajO invested in agricultural implements, and ffl.VI,rtiO,0O0 in 1KP0. In this time th(j population has only doubled, and the Increase lo the material nealth ot tho State in this time from agriculture is evident. Ono element of farm ptohperity Ilea In the harmonious union of capital and labor in the farmer himself; the conflict between the two greatly rtducen profits in other callings. A necor.d requisite for tho prosperity of tho commonwealth is bodily and mental vigor. That farm lif« condlie**** to bodily vigor no ono denies; and as stiengtn and soundness of both aro necessary ior the highest development of the mind, tho farmri's mind should lie, and generally is, jAisso-sed of very hifjh possibilities. Third, the stability and steadiness of farm doings rellect themselves on the mind of the farmer, making his thoughts strong, clear and Btcad fast, and these characteristics are of the greatest valuo in State government. The fourth element of the State's prosperity Is a good slato of morals.and in this respect the farm h-incomparabiv above Ihe town and city. 1 here are not tho temptations to evil In the country that are present ln tho city. Prohibition would have carried In Ohio, but for the influence of the large cities. Tho great sober second thought Of this Nation ia in the rural dls- makes an excellent mulch In winter.when allowed to grow to some length. Itlchard Waters, of Kentucky, states that orchard grass graces more stock to the ncre than any other kind, and makes more pounds of meal; lt grows more ln a week In July than any other kind docs in the whols month. W. V. Talent, of Virginia, finds that In a drouth it affords more pasture on ono aero than clover and timothy on two. Mr. Kennedy himself had found these statements correct, but cautioned his audience on one point; 1. e., that orchard grass seed will not germinate after it is two years of ago. Mr. K. mentioned another grass not very well known. It Is tho flat stemmed or Knglish bluo grass. It remains green and succulent In tbo longest drouths and retains its vitality in winter. It is solid, like broom corn, and weighs heavy; makes superior hay and contains more nutrition than other grasses. Objections to it aro that it can't be killed out and that it stops growth for the season when cnt off. A good mixture for pasturing* could bo mado of orchard grass nnd English and common bluo grass. English grazers mako a profit of $20 per acre, while wo make but ffl. Thoy understand tho valuo of variety. Woof Indiana can pro. duce grass of all kinds as well as anybody. We can pasture, In some sections, 75 head of cattle por acre whilo Kentucky can ac- commodato only from 30 to 50. Our main wants are varieties of grasses and experience in treating them. REMAKES. 8.
