ELEl'ENTH ANNUAL MEETING. 15 



this railroad, which has, practically, a monopoly of the business 

 in our State, is, through its present freight department, in full 

 sympathy with our desire to move the crop where we can get 

 the best market, as the leading manager has told me that they 

 wanted to do ever\^thing they could to serve the growers in a 

 reasonable business way, and the only reason why there was a 

 lack of cars, and a lack of the necessary facilities to move the 

 crop promptly and handily last season, was because they did 

 not know what was coming. None of us had notified them of 

 the situation up to the time I went to see them. 



The total expense, or of money paid out for this work, was

]\Ir. Wadsworth : Mr. President, I move you that the 

 report of the Committee be printed in our proceedings, and that

The President : You have heard the motion of IMr. Wads-

 to include the report of the Committee on Exhibitions. 



Mr. Wadsworth : I will be very glad to accept that amend-

The President : Then as I understand it, the motion is to 

 accept the reports of both Committees with the thanks of the 

 Society, and that the Committee on ^Markets and Transportation 

 be continued. 



Motion seconded and passed. 



Mr. Wadsworth : My object in making this motion to have 

 this report printed in our report is because I believe it will show, 

 not only to our own members that we have such a committee 

 at work for our mutual interests, such as caring for our surplus 

 products, and finding an opening for them in the markets, but 

 those who are not members, understanding this, it seems to me, 

 will be glad to come in where they can have the privilege and 

 the benefit of this work. I think the fact that we have a com- 

 mittee working on such a line as that, and that the Committee 

 is doing work which is of such obvious benefit to us all, if that is
