with the agricultullsts. The board has
particularly in view the permanent estab

branches. 1t has earnestly requested that
all growers OF tobacco become members.
A determined, harmonious co-operativeness
will undoubtedly bring about good results.
Efforts are now being made 10 secure the
locating in Tallahassee of packing house
and cigar factory; the committee on farm
and farm products is collecting statistics,
and the committee on transportation i,
securing favorable freight rates. Messrs.
Schrader, Byrd and Powell are members
OF the committee on membership and will
be glad to enroll members on application
accompanied by the fee OF fifty cents Tor the
current year.
