completed their organization and the
other counties will follow immediate
ly.
At these county meetings the sweet
corn growers are touching upon some
questions that ere certainly progress
sive. The matter Of working witt.
the Gamers association for the home
production of all sweet corn used for
seed purposes was discussed at the
Cumberland county meeting on Sept.
l. 1t was thought that by using the
various local associations the very
best corn growers could be selected to
carry on this work. and thus the seed
corn would be grown under condi-
tons which would produce an early
variety and of desirable type
Other questions discussed have beer
the establishment of a standard
method Of sampling and selling the
corn throughout the State, and SO NO
matter where the growers may be
located, when he contracts for his
corn he will understand just how the
sample will be taken and under what
conditions the payments for the same
are to be made.
The meeting for the State associa
ton will be held at Wateryille within
few weeks.
