an address to agricultural students
that there was "not a single county,
not a parish, in Ireland where the
farmers are. not completely revolution­

Introducing co-operative methods.” And
it might be added that there is scarce­
ly a farming district in the United
States where more benefits canont be
realized by a closer co-operation of the
farmers. The farmers are understand­
ing each other better each year and
are coming closer together In all mat­

bilities ahead. Describing the 900 co­

education which extended Into every

combined to consign in bulk and dis­

combined to raise working capital for
