Mulch Paper. Glens Falls, NY. 1930. In the summer of 1930 several stimulation tests were carried out

effect on crop output with the except of when the soil was of lower fertility and had less natural
moisture retention, where the mulch did help. This item includes the 24 page typed report, 40 black

10. [gentleman's club][ society club][ social club][ politics][ president] The Alfalfa Club of Washington
D. C., 45th Anniversary Dinner, Printed Seating Chart. Byron S Adams. Washington, DC. 1958.
Accordion fold, double-sided, large, seating chart. Jokingly referred to as the nation's most ineffective
political party, the Alfalfa Club is an exclusive social club based in Washington DC, that typically
only meets once a year on the last Saturday of January for an elaborate banquet. A new member was
added only after a current member died. The club's membership was made up of some of the 200
“richest and most powerful people in the world” and does not just include people from the political
sphere of influence. Several past Presidents, such as Truman, Eisenhower, and Clinton have been
members.
With every banquet a large seating chart is printed and given out to members in order to facilitate a
maximum amount of networking. On the front side of the 1958 banquet's seating chart is a depiction
of the twelve tables at the event, with sometimes up to 45 people at each table. On the front side
members are just listed by their names or titles, such as Mr. Sharp or the Vice President of the United
States. On the back side of the chart is a list, in alphabetical order, of every person at the dinner
featuring their full name and title. Members of note are bolded on both sides for emphasis. Printed in
black with green accents. Measures 13" x 5 1/4" (folded), 40" x 13" (unfolded). Age toning. Minor
water stain on edge of one section. (#27016104) $55.00
The club was started in 1913, and originally designed as a way to celebrate the birthday of Confederate General, Robert
E. Lee. Its name comes from the alfalfa plant's supposed willingness to "do anything for a drink." Even with its rather
dubious beginnings, the club continues to thrive, and move away from its dark roots. They first started admitting
blacks in 1974 and woman 1994 (though only after the President Clinton boycotted the banquet). The annual banquet
serves as political roast, with the highlight of the night being the club's satirical nomination of a presidential candidate.
Ironically, some of these joke nominations would eventually become the US President (Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan,
George H W Bush and George W Bush). Additionally, the current US President is also normally invited and gives a
speech.
e-list 45 11 [email protected]
In 1958 Representative Charles A. Halleck (R-Ind) was nominated by the club. In his acceptance speech he jokingly
stated that he would run on the platform of a promise to build a rocket to the big dipper and a parking space for every
car. While President Dwight D. Eisenhower was unable to attend the event, he fully supported the nomination stating
that Halleck's campaign promises "stamp him as the kind of bold campaigner that we want to represent Alfalfa."

Poverty parties were apparently held across the nation as a form of entertainment chiefly in the flush times between the
Panic of 1893 and the Stock Market Crash of 1929. Although the definition of “Poverty Party― has changed over
time, it would seem in the era of this invitation it was an event held by members of the emerging urban middle class.
They would show up dressed in rags and consume food associated with the poor. Promotional materials were spelled in
awful and phonetic ways.
