Minutes of the previous meeting
were read and approved.
The members who had not re-
ceived their badges were given them,
the copies of the constitution and the
by laws were also distributed. BY
this time County Agent, G. F. Marsh
had arrived and was asked what he
thought of the milk question. He
seemed to think the thing for the
farmer to do was to organize and
then to stick by each other. The
great trouble with the farmer is
they will not stay together. In this
way they could make their demands
for better prices.
Instead of an essay by the host
Prof. Lawsing was introduced and
talked on the farm life in North
Carolina, which was very interesting,
it being so entirely different from
our way of living.
Lunch being announced, q. +.
