The Northern Rutabaga Growers
Association meeting in the D. B. S.
hall Friday evening drew a capacity
audience. There was much discus
sion on how to proceed with the con-
troll of marketing and the meeting
was quite closely divided on two diff
ferent authorized buyer agreements.
After much discussion the original
plan was adopted by the meeting
with less than hundred voting for
it out of an audience of about 300.
The original authorized buyer or
dealer plan prohibits such buyer from
buying from anyone except members
of the association. 1t was left to the
board to secure such authorized buy
ers and if such could not be secured
then to set up the necessary ma
chinery for the association to handle
| their own product rather difficult
task to hand the board with the ruta-
baga season almost ready to get into
| full swing.
In accordance with a recent new
arrangement the annual meeting of
the local Farmers Holiday unit was
held in the d. B. S. hall Monday eve
ming, but was not as we'll attended
as an annual meeting ought to be,
due, perhaps, to lack of sufficient adj
vertising. The main event at the
meeting Monday evening was the cleo
tion of officers for the local unit
which resulted as follows: Chris Fred
eriksen refused reelection as presi-
dent and in his place ]. P. Madsen
was chosen; Julius Slot refused re-
election as secretary and in his place
Owe Hermansen was elected; HOlger
DiXen was reelected treasurer; Carl
Madsen refused reelection as direc-
tor; Wilhelm Nielsen, present director,
was not present; and the third di-
rector having already been elected to
another office, resulted in the selection
of three new directors: Fred Olesen,
Christopher Nielsen, and Evan Ham
mer. Holger DiXen gave a very COM
plete and interesting report from the
national convention of the United
Farmers League held in Minneapolis
sent by the local Holiday unit as fra
ternal delegate. DrOuth relief and
cattle buying were also discussed
briefly.
