 Cooperation, then, to be successful must have, loyalty of members; a con- siderable quantity of the commodity to be handled; simple but thorough or gantzation; paid, efficient manage ment; cash business. and a single pur- pose, that is, the same association should not attempt to handle all the organizations should handle the buy ing, and the selling of the community. Cooperative associations should be in- corporated under the laws of the state.
 Those interested in cooperation should read the Bulletin on The Farm ers' Cooperative Exchange. by Dr. AL exander E. Canoe, of the Massachu- sets Agricultural college. Copies of this may be obtained through County Agent w. c. Kennedy, by writing to him at Putnam.
 The tent caterpillar is out in all his glory. Farmers should take the time and trouble ito rid themselves of this pest. Spray with 3 pounds of ;arsenate of lead to 50 gallons of water. Do not attempt to burn the nests. Injury to the tree will result and the cater pillar when he feels the heat will drop to the ground, usually before he is se- verely injured Another way to get them is to wind the end of a pole with a small bundle of rags. Soak this in kerosene and swab the nests off the trees. A little kerosene coming in contact with the caterpillar will fix him, even if he is not crushed when the nest is wiped out.
 The secretary of the state board of agriculture, L. B. Healey, has issued a notice that the brown tail moth has appeared in this county. This must be checked at once, or it will not only har9n0a Sario11c al and plants, but will endanger the health of the people. Just a few of the brown heirs from the insect com ing in contact with the skin will, in many cases, set up an inflammation that may require medical attendance. Let us destroy these pests before they become established in Windham coun- ty.
 MT. Kennedy will be in his office, as usual, Saturday, May 1st, and will be glad to get in touch with anyone whom he may help in any way.
