CO-OPERATION. 



A Member : Could the gentleman tell me where to get some good 

 Timothy seed? 



President White: Professor Webber could tell you. 



A Member : I would like to know what is thought of the Charles- 

 ton Wakefield cabbage. 



Mr. Fullerton: It is bigger and later. 



Professor W^itts : Charleston Wakefield is a week or ten days

A Member: We have found it larger, but not much later. Five

 crate, the Charleston would be worth more to you. 



President White: For our great commercial crops up here, 

 we pay no attention to pointed head varieties. After ten days or 

 » so we intend to get to the larger. 



Mr. Waid : The kraut trade is our great domestic trade up here.

 best for both grower and association that he remains a non-member. 



A great many growers need to be educated to the fact that "in 

 union there is strength." But this union cannot be attained or
