Let each locality, where half a dozen producers or more can get together, organize a nucleus asso- ciation, having in view the improve- ment of the market and the securing of supplies for its members. Each step must be taken with deliberation. None but careful, honest and industri- ous men must be selected to be en- trusted with the interests of their mem- bers.
