310 {Assembly 



The Chairman appointed Charles Henry Hall, Judge Van Wyck. 

 and Josiah Dutcher. 



Dr. Underhill asked as to the model of Jethro Wood — how far it 

 approached the Newbold plough. 



Mr. Sands. — Ahtv many trials, 'Mr. Wood had to return nearly to 

 Newbold's model. 



Dr. Underhill. — It seems to me that something ought to be done 

 tor the widow and daughter of the unfortunate, but ingenious New- 

 bold. Certain it is, that there has never been produced in the world 

 so important an instrument as the plough of iron. The saving of 

 labor and the amount of produce from the iron plough, are beyond 

 all calculation in dollars, for the last thirty years.

 I present to the Club the printed volume and supplement of the pro- 

 ceedings of the State Agricultural Society of South Carolina.
