. Better fruit. Fruit-culture. profit, if you need it or can use it in your business, organize an association and get it. If you don't want it or can't use it, be content with your present method and in your idle hours, resulting from a lack of prosperity and progress. The association can buy wholesale in carloads boxes, spray material, paper and many other orchard supplies, which can be sold the growers at wholesale prices plus the actual cost of handling, and the actual saving to the grower by this plan is no small item. Lastly, in speaking of benefits. I want to call your attention to the advantages arising through an association office.

Such are some of the benefits resulting from an association properly managed, which should again impress upon you the value arising from organization, and in addition convey some valuable sug- gestions of what an association should be.
