Work of County Agriculturist

Three important meetings and the
correspondence connected with the CO.
operative organizations that are in the
process of formation occupied the time
last week. On Wednesday the Rich
mond-Riley Club was attended where
the subject of cooperation was discus
ed. The intense interest in this sub
ject, which now exists in most farming
communities, was found no less acute
with the Richmond Riley people, and
during the day number were met who
were especially interested in a coopera-
tive hay marketing association for
Emmett. Assistance was also given
in the consideration of other farm top
les on the program, and a number of
valued new acquaintance were made.
Thursday was spent with the Union
Farmers Club at the home of Robert
Hsrtwig in Mussey township. Here,
too, the matter of cooperation was
taken up, and after the interesting
discussion which followed, it was decid-
ed to call meeting Tuesday evening
November 18th, at the home of Albert
Tosch to organize a cooperative pur-
chasing association.
The milk producers meeting was an
other cooperative project which claimed
attention on Friday. About thirty of
the leading dairymen of the eastern
part of the county were present and
discussed the benefits that milk
producers organization would bring to
all phases Of the dairy industry. The
following officers were elected to serve
until the first annual meeting: Pres-
dent, NJ. o. Hitohings; Secretary, Chas.
Babcock; Treasurer, Eugene Atkins;
Board of Supervisors: John Glyshaw
Edwin Rankin, Philip Stein, Charles
Simpson and Bion Beach. At the next
meeting Saturday, November 25th, at
p. m. in the Federal Building, commit
ties will also be appointed on market
ing, health and sanitation, cooperative
purchasing, etc. A constitution and
set of bylaws will also be adopted at
that time, and other matters of impor-
lance to the organization will be taken
up. After careful consideration, it
was decided to place the membership
fee at $3.50. and everyone who joined
has blank for the securing of new
members, and the indications are that
a very strong organization will be COM
pleted.

of county agents at East ansing, l will
