. #AGE TWO COUNTY SEED POTATO GROWERS WILL MEET TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 3 Locals Will Make Agreement to Ship Thruogh a Central Exchange The Beltrami county Seed Potato Growers association will hold its an- nual meeting at the court house, Be- midji, on Tuesday, February 3, ac- cording to the Beltrami County Farm Bureau Service Bulletin, published by A. W. Aamodt, South Beltrami county agricultural agent. Outlines of a constitution and by- laws for a state cooperative potato exchange and local cooperative potato associations have been prepared by the temporary board of directors ap- pointed at the recent convention at the Minnesota Potato Growers’ asso- ciation at Moorhead. The outline as prepared calls for: 1. Local.cooperative shipping asso- ciations made up of several members on the stock-share basis, each share to cost $10, and each member to have only one vote; each member, also, to make a contract with his association to supply it a stated amount, acreage, or percentage, of its season’s crop every year, and to give a note for $100, guaranteeing the performance -of contract. 2. A central exchange made up of locals which agree to ship through the exchange, each local to take not less than one share nor more than 10 shares or capital stock at $100 in the exchange, and to give to tLe exchange & guarentee note of $600 to assure performance of contract. 3. The central exchange to be managed by a board of directors of seven or more, elected by delegates from eacn local, officers to be elected from and by the board, and a mana- ger chosen or elected by the board. The fund raised from stock in locals is to create capital out of which local equipment and a share of stock in the central exchanges may be paid for. The $100 notes given by local members, beside guaranteeing performance of contract, may be used as security for money to create a revolving fund with which to do current business. No other use may be made of them. The stock paid in by the locals to the central exchange is to provide capital with which to equip and maintain the central or- ganization. The $500 notes turned in by the locals to the central ex- change are to be used only in man- ner similar to the $100 notes turned in by members to the local associa- tions. Contracts of members of local asso- ciations run indefinitely but may be terminated June 1 any year by giving 30 days notice. A member may be dropped trom any association thru failure to carry out his contract. ——— ) Keep watch of your asters, for “in such an hour as you know not” the maggot may attack them.
