. Bulletin. Agriculture -- New Hampshire. 6 N. H. Agri. Experiment Station [Bui. 300 has always been operated in the interests of its members and has made cash rebates to them. However, beginning December 14, 1937, the organization will start business as a full-fledged cooperative. Membership in the Auction Membership has been open to any poultryman in the State for an initial fee of $ and payment of $ per year thereafter. When a producer ships a case to the auction, he automatically becomes a mem- ber since his dues are deducted unless such membership has previously been paid. The active membership in different months ranged from 42 in July, 1934, to 594 in December, 1936. Total cumulative membership had reached about 870 by the latter date. The highest number of active members has occurred in December of each year. The largest number of new members occurs in November and December of each year. This is due to the heavy production of pullet floeks and declining egg prices. (See Fig. 1).
