amendments to the said bylaws to
| make them substantially the same as
the bylaws of the Vaudeville Asso-
citation. The writer is guilty Of no
vanity in urging to attention the JUS
tlce and wisdom of the provisions in
the Vaudeville bylaws concerning
the marketing of growers products,
for he did not dictate one single
word in those bylaws. He was I'M
able to attend the meeting Of the
framing committee, but is informed
that the committee of five spent sew
eral hours drafting said bylaws with
the aid of model form obtained
from the State officials at Baton
Rouge and followed same almost
verbatim in the matter of market
ing methods and contracts with
growers. The same consideration
has not been given to the draft OF
bylaws for the Parish Association,
and it has almost wholly neglected
the counsel of 0. B. Jesness, Special
list in Cooperative Organization for
u. S. Dept. of Agriculture in F. B.
liza: bylaws are very important.

to local conditions. Discuss them
