Parker and A. II. Warren for their
constant and untiring cooperation.
A vote OF thanks was also taken for

PRESIDENT HYER'S TALK.
President flyer made only few re-
marks in regard to the work of the
association, saying that the rerSrt Of
the secretary covered it completely.
The association, he said, has done a
good work for the city and is now in
better position to carry on the work
than it was a year ago.
AGRICULTURAL WORK.
Secretary Waterman said that the
work done and the good results OBJ
tanned from the funds expended for
agricultural development. in his opin-
ion, had been the best work Of the
association. for comparatively small
amount of money was spent for this
work and the good result would be
felt for many years to come.
County Agricultural Agent McQuar-
RE made a short talk to the associa-
ton, in which he thanked the menu
bers for their cooperation in the agri-
cultural work and in the Boys Corn
club work. Last year those making
requests for selected seeds were tfir-
ty-seven. while this year, he said.
there would be more than one hundred
and thirty-seven to be supplied. The
ccncensus of the meeting was that
the county agricultural agent would
be cooperated with in furthering agri-
cultural developments IN this county
and that he would be given as much
T. not more assistance this year than
he was last.
Under the supervision OF Mr. Nc
Quarrie the crops Of cotton and corn
were doubled in nearly all cases and
sometimes three times as much was
grown on one acre as had formerly
been done.
President Dobson responded to a
call for a speech and made a short
speech promising faithful prosecution
OF the work for the coming year. Mr..
SuIlman also spoke briefly of the work
in hand and said that the organiza-
tion has bright future If the work is
well planned and all respond when
called upon.
NEED or COOPERATION.
In expressing his good wishes for
the prosperity of the organization Mr..
flyer urged that the members give
the new president and the board of
directors and secretary all OF the co..
operation that could be asked. Unless
the members attend the regular month
" meetings and the board of direc-
tors attend the semi-monthly meet
ings the organization win fail to do
what some people expect it to do, he
said. 1t Is a hard matter to get some
thing out of the association without
putting something into it, he said. and
he asked each member to take a per-
sonal interest in the work
