No. 216.] 765 



Ira B. Undeihill, of Burlington, N. J. I have received theTuikey 

 Corn, Moscow Beans and Rice. 



A. H. Washburn. I have received the Beans, Turkey Corn, and 

 some White Corn of Tennessee. 



Judge Livingston. I have received the Cotton, Yarn, Beans and 

 Sweet Potato. 



Mr Maurice, of Long Island. I have received the Hice, Cotton, 

 Beans, Turkey Corn, and White Oak Acorns. 



Other members, who had received some of these seeds, had left 

 the Club before they had been asked the question as to their divid- 

 ends. The plan of recording the receipts, was, however, unanimous- 

 ly approved. 



Judge Van Wyck moved for a committee to attend, in Albany, to 

 the progress of the memorial for the Agricultural School. 



Mr. Wakeman. Yes; I seocnd the motion for a committee of 

 three or four members of this Club — one, at least, to remain in Albany 

 as long as may be necessary. 



The motion was unanimously adopted, and Judge Van Wyck, Dr. 

 Underbill, Charles Henry Hall, and Colonel Clark, were appointed 

 unanimously. 



Mr. Hall spoke of the high value of the rice on the table — hither- 

 to grown in only peculiar watered situations — there is no grain 

 equal to it. I ask Mr. Williamson how this rice has been raised? 



Mr. W^illiamson. The poor old Bull-tongued plough was used to 

 plough the land, some three inches deep or less. The rice was sow- 

 ed in drills, about one foot apart. I gathered the sample, before 

 you, in the field, and assisted in measuring a part of the field, and it 

 was found that the yield per acre was about 250 bushels of the grain. 

 The straw of this rice was preferred by the cattle to green food. 



Mr. Hall, Here we have fine black seed cotton grown on high 

 ground. 



Mr. Williamson. Yes, sir.
