would be impracticable to attempt definite county organization fer pooling their capital stock and interests under one head. It was thought that it would be much better. for the individual ex- changes to remain as they are at the present time and work out; as has been mentioned a definite means of coopera- tien between them. 4
 Considerable interest fas shown in the proposition which has been submit- ted by one of the local faed dealers to the Lebanon, Norwich. Ireston ex- changes. It was felt by the men present that definite policy should be estab- lished. for all the exchanges of the coun- ty. No exchange can afford to be tied up to one firm or to give firm from whom they purchase supplies an advan- tage over any other firm. The following
 motion was made by MT. Graham and seconded: S"At meeting of the officers managers | London county, it was the sense of this put upon exactly the same footing as any
 changes do business"
 | This means that If local grain con cerns in New London county wish to d
 business with the cooperative exchange they will be asked to submit their quota tions at regular intervals in exactly tn same way that wholesalers outside of tn county submit them The local ex
 change managers will then proceed
 do business with the firms that offer tn
 best price, quality considered.

COOPERATIVE EXCHANGES TO :.
 POOL ON THEIR FERTILIZER

A very, interesting meeting of CO., operative exchange managers. officers and directors was held Monday at the farm bureau office. Twenty-Five men
 representing the cooperative exchanges
 of Lebanon, Norwich, Jewett City, Preston and, Waterford were present. The meeting was called to order at about. Il % a. m. William Service was
 elected chairman of the meeting. The
 first question brought out for discussion
 was How Many Cooperative Exchang s of''New London County work together?" The, chairman called on the various CO., operative exchange managers and it was finally decided that it would be a good plan for the exchanges of this county to pool their fertilizer, seed and lime order under one buying head for this year. A brief. recess was called and the manag- erss of the various exchanges were in-
 strueted by the meeting to get together | and select some one of their nunbeh to
 handle the fertilizer pool for the county l for this year. After lunch the managers | reported that they had chosen MT. -Shedd of the Preston exchange to handle this proposition.
 The question of cooperating together
 on seeds and lime was discussed. MT. l Shedd said that during the past year five cars of fertilizer were handled by the l Preston exchange, one car of seed pota- l toes, one car of lime and from $2,5ooS to 5000 worth of farm seeds As the other exchanges have been in operation
 less than six months the managers of
 these exchanges could not tell even ap-
 proxinately how much of any of these 1 commodities they could use this year
 It was potedj that MT. Shedd in addition .i to being the buying head for fertilizers
 for; the county should also handle the
 seed potatoes and lime. There are indi-
 cations that there would be three or four carloads of certified seed potatoes needed and perhaps one-half dozen cari
 of lime. MT. Kenyon, manager of the
 Waterford exchange was selected tt
 look after the pooling of orders fol grass seed. . .-4 During. the meeting rather interest !; ing discussion. took place as to tn. , means in which the exchanges migh work together. It was brought out tha in their present state of organization 1
