1t is greatly to be de-
sired that as many farmers as pos
sible become identified with the new
association. The sole motive for the
general distribution Of the fair asso-
citation stock and the reorganization
of the association is to give to Blu

OF the committee to see all. II you
have not subscribed, do SO now. The
single share subscribers are the ones
wanted, to the end that the stock be
as widely distributed as possible
