opportunities on the farm than there is any other industry. Stick 

 to your farm, and you will have the best kind of fun it it. The 

 next time you come here bring your best girl and bring the other 

 fellows's girl along, and we will have a rousing old meeting; a much 

 better meeting than this time. 



MR. YOUNGS. — Our association pays the man at the head of 

 the co-operative association twelve hundred dollars, and his assis- 

 tant, five hundred dollars, for six months, and pays stenographers. 

 We don't expect something for nothing, because we know we won't 

 get it. 



MR. BROWN. — The failure of one Fruit Exchange in Delaware, 

 was because they would not submit to an inspection of their fruit; 

 that was the cause of the Delawaie Fruit Exchangestarting. I was 

 the second Secretar}- there when the first one went into operation. 

 The success of the Potato Exchange in Virginia is the outgrowth, 

 but what he says is very true in interfering with their success, be- 

 cause you have no more power over you products than that chair has, 

 and it is for that reason they have made a greater success of the 

 Potato Exchange of Virginia than any exchange in America.

 mitted the following report.
