Saturday night to take up his new du-

popular official not only among those
connected with the association but
also with growers, buyers and dealers

had before he came here. His resig-

upon. Mr.. Waite will continue to act
with us in his Chicago field so far as
his interests and ours open up field
for such representation and in that
respect will still be identified with us.
No steps have been taken to fill
the position. The vacancy occurring
in mid season would be award under
other conditions but this year there is
not heavy crop and we are suffi
GENTLY strong here in our office force
to be able to handle all business I'M
til the directors are able to make a
suitable selection of successor to
Mr.. Waite, whose departure, natur-
ally is greatly regretted"
