COLLECTIVE BUYING OF
FERTILIZER URGED

In an endeavor to overcome the
present crisis in the fertilizer situation
and to obtain the lowest possible price
on fertilizer, an effort is being made
by the Eastern States Farmers Ex-
change to organize the farmers of
New England into pooling their fer
tilizer requirements and buying col
lectively from the lowest bidder. Such
demonstration, if successful, will be
one of the strongest arguments for
the cooperative movement, especially
so as it will effect direct saving to
each indivual farmer participating in
this pool.
Stancliff Hale, of South Glastonbu-
ry, Connecticut, chairman of the Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Eastern
States Farmers Exchange yesterday
sent letter broadcast to cooperative
organizations and individual farmers
throughout New England, inviting
them to participate in this effort. The
recently elected executive committee
of the Farmers Exchange consists Of
Lawrence G. Dodge, of West New
bury, Mass, a farmer and Director
Farming Association; Edward w.
vertising man and a successful farm
err; Roy D. Hunter, of West Clare
mont, N. H., farmer and President
of the Sullivan County Farm Blu
reau; Mark H. Moody, of Waterbury,
VT, farmer and Director of the
New England Milk Producers Asso-
Mass, President of large paper
manufacturing concern and success
fully operating a large farm: and
Horace w. Tinkham, of Warren, r.
l., farmer and Director of the New
England Milk Producers Association.
In his letter Mr.. Hale said: "The
recently elected executive committee
of the Eastern States Farmers Ex-
change, believe that a reduction in
fertilizer cannot be made available
for the farmers of New England un-
less more concerted action on the part
of their cooperative groups makes
possible the definite pooling of their
requirements. Since it is so vital
that the farmers get their fertilizer
as cheapy as possible, the executive
committee of the Farmers Exchange
offers for your consideration and ac-
ton, the plan of definitely placing
your business in this pool. They are
confident that prices lower than any
so far offered can be secured from re-
liabe manufacturers if they are ap-
preached with specifications covering
an assured tonnage of considerable
size. Let US know your requirements
not later than Monday, February
21st, if you wish to participate in this
pool"
Howard w. Selby, manager of the
Eastern States Farmers Exchange,
located in Springfield, Mass, in com
menting upon this effort, made it
clear that this move was to be in no
way construed as an attempt to break
the market in fertilizer prices. 81
am convinced he said, "that the
manufacturers of fertilizer and fer
tilizer materials will welcome such
pooling of the farmers requirements
for we propose to get bids on our
requirements in the open market and
award the contract to the lowest bid
der. The proposed pool at this late
time of the season, will undoubtedly
induce farmers to purchase the fer
tilizer they require, knowing they will
get it at the lowest possible price and
will perhaps save what at present is
an acute condition in the fertilizer
situation"

basement is the large storage vault
IL by 16 feet provided with an inner
door, also outer door, giving a dead
air space and fire proof. This vault
was built for the storage of trunks
bundles, rugs or any valuable arti-
cles that one desires to- have in safe
keeping and free from destruction by
ire when owners are out of town fol
time. This room will be greatly
appreciated by the public.
No one, who sees the building with
its fine banking rooms and all mod
ern appointments, can doubt for 9
moment the wisdom of the board OF
directors when they took the initial
step towards the erection Of this
splendid home for the bank.
The opening of this bank will b.
held on Wednesday, February %,
to 10 p. M, to which the public i:
invited. Light refreshments will b.
served.
The bank was organized February
1891, then located in the upper story
of the Foster block, where the Phelps
barber shop is now located.
Remaining there only short time
then taking quarters in the Law
renee block on the. present sight OF
the new building. Later the bank
again moved to the exchange block
where it has served the public and
continued to grow until the present
change has been brought about.
The original board of directors
chosen at the time of the organiza-
ton was composed Of C. A. Prouty
president; Benjamin Human, vice
president; J. A. Prouty, C.. S. Ma
COON, and Seymour Lane, directors.
The position of treasurer was held
by p. J. Farrell, until his resignation
in 1899 in favor of F. s. Tinkham.
Only one man, who was connected
with the bank at the time of it's or
ganization, still remains on the board.
All of the others, and many of their
successors have passed on.
The present officers of the bank are
C. A. Prouty, president; j. r. Kirk
patrick, vice president; F. S: Tink-
ham, treasurer, and A. w. Moulton,
assistant treasurer. The directors
are C. "A. Prouty, A. A. Macomber,
j. A. Prouty, J. R. Kirkpatrick, L.
F. Kay, and j. w. Redmond.
