I JO AGRICULTURE OF MAINE. 



Mr. Rogers : When the secretary is writing for premiums, 

 he is, in a sense, a beggar. Now, when I have asked a concern 

 to furnish a premium and it has agreed to it, I would not care 

 to write and ask that the money be sent after it had been 

 promised. I should not want to do it ; would you ? 



President Copeland: I should think it would be an ex- 

 cellent plan. 



Mr. Rogers : So would I ; but I should want someone to ask 

 for it. 



President Copeland: I think it should be left to the ex- 

 ecutive committee.
