Mr. Boulter expressed himself as well pleased with the large attend- ance and as year after year rolls by the interest in the association seems to be increasing by leaps and bounds.

Good prices were maintained for reasons the speaker could not explain. l-le thought that something happened in the potato market which kept the price soaring.

With the k-nowisdge of previous years in handling potatoes for its lnemiilers the Association calcul- ated large quantities of- potatoes to move and made contracts not 1n excess of that which were avail- able.
