ton that such POI tion .of the said
budget not necessary for conducting
the business of the Association is to be
returned annually 10 the members in
lrOp0ftlon TO the amount paid in bv
me respective members, thus making
the organization purely cooperative.
lhe foregoing basic principles have
ali proven to oe very valuable in con-
Quoting the business of the organiza-
tlon and to practically eliminate all
friction between the different classes
OF members. These principles should
be carefully studied and be familiar to
every member. SO that.they will in the
years to come be preserved to the As
sOciation.
Five years experience has wrought
some changes in the Bylaws, bat
none IN the basic principles hereinbe-
fore mentioned. We must one and all
realize that the foregoing basic prinei-
pies, together with the loyalty of the
members and those directly in charge
OF the organization has made this co
operative Association more successful
than any of US could at the time it was
organized hoped for, when we take
into account the serious conditions we
were confronted with and have passed
through IN the past five years.

fruit delivered to the Association the
preceding year; the said two systems
of voting being required to be counted
separately and thereby giving a separ
ate expression by the individual mem,
bers of the Association and by the ton
mage of the Association. This creates
system which is absolutely fair be-
tween the large and the small growers.
The election of Directors and the
passing of all important resolutions is

All moneys paid into the said Pur-

least seven per cent per annum and
goodly portion of the said Purchasing
Fund has from time to time earned a
discount at the rate of twenty. four per

This Purchasing Fund has not only
earned high rate of interest, but we
have repeatedly received great benefits
from it in the matter of establishing
our credit. With this Purchasing Fund,
which cannot be distributed az div-

And it also enables US to secure better
prices on all commodities we buy.
This Purchasing Fund and the other
accumulations of the Association give
us standing not only with the parties
from whom we purchase supplies that
is of great financial value to US, but
also is of value to US in assisting us in
securing better prices for our fruit
from the fact that the trade will pay
more for fruit when contracted for

known to be financially responsible for
all contracts it makes than when pur
chased through unreliable organiza-
tiOns.

Weights and Measures
Harris Will Have Inspectors
Make Tests in All Section of
State

Columbia, June 3.-The State de-
partment of agriculture. commerce
and industries is endeavoring to put
a, punch into the enforcement of the
regulations regarding the misuse OF
weights and measures. The snort
measures of all sorts Of comm odities
will be regulated if Commissioners
Harris can perfec- his plans. and he
expects to do SO.
Soon after he came into Office, Mr.
Harris caused to be made an examlna-
ton of the laws of other States and
he has made regulations which will be
enforced strictly. inspectors will go
throughout the State inspecting sales
and weighing devices and other meas
ures.
Capt. H. w, McCreight, chief clerk
of the department, has Just returned
from Washington where he attended
a conference of weights and measures
officials from all States in the Union
which have laws South Carolina, s
interest in the enforcing of such reg
ulations was approved and Captain
McCreight was given much valuable
information which will be used in this
State. Commissioner Harris is now in
Charleston with two inspectors look
ing over the field there.
Following is the report of Captain
McCreight upon the meeting in WASH
Iington to Commissioner Harris:
"As directed by'you, attended the
foregoing mentioned Weights and
Measures convention and beg to sub
NIT the following report. The pro-
gram was prepared by L. A. Fischer
chief, division Of weights and meas
ures of the bureau of standards, who
presided at all sessions of the conven-
ton. Thirty-two delegates were pres
ent representing "a States, several
States having several delegates, and
60 city and county dealers. Also a
number of manufacturers of scales,
measures and liquid pumps were rep
presented, making a. total of about
120 persons, including several officers
of the bureau Of standards.
State delegates reported laws, pro-
gress and conditions in their respec-
tive States, being allowed a maximum
of FIVE minutes each. I am pleased to
report that South Carolina is ahead
Of many States represented and is
behind only a few, namely: New York,
Massachusetts. New, Jersey. Pennsyl-
vania and New Hampshire. The last
mentioned have separate departments
of weights and measures Under COM

ing able to devote their time exclu-
siyely to this work and naturally are

DR.. c. L. >Alsberg, chief of the bu-
reau of chemistry delivered an inter
esting and instructive address on the
Enforcement of Net Weight Amend
ment to the Food and Drugs Act"
Gamers of tomatoes, peas and other
vegetables and fruits mark the net
weight on the cans, but frequently it
is found that the purchaser buys large
quantities of water. In some cases
results have been obtained by prose-
cutting this fraud under the head OF
adulteration or misbranding rather
than short weights. A certain quantity
of liquid preservative must be allow
ed, but this fact is taken advantage
of by fraudulent manufacturers and
should be closely watched.
MANY States are changing the name
of weights and measures to: depart
ment or bureau of standards, which
covers a larger field in this line Of
work.
William C. Redfeld, secretary Of
United States commerce, in an inter-
esting address told the convention that
they were divinely as well as legally
charged with their duties. citing "a
