the feelings of our people toward
him.

Directors last week and is ready to
continue business on good basis. The
outlook is good and there seems to
be no reason why lettuce from this
county should not be marketed sue
cessfully and profitably through the
Association this year.
People who expect to have lettuce

should report their acreage and take

so that the Association will know
how much ice to have stored, crates
to plan for etc, and have money
with which to do this.
