By-Laws Drafted
Another immediate need is the
drafting of by-laws under which
the Farmers Market Association,
Inc., will operate. By-laws of sim
ilar organizations were read and
it was suggested from the floor
that these could be adapted to fit
requirements of the new organ
ization.
<• Named on the by-law commit
tees for this task are Miss Eby,
Eugene Kirsch and Parker Lester.
By-laws will be offered for vote
at the next meeting.
Many problems were asked in
formally by the interested group.
Among questions and answers
were:
Q—How will we determine
prices?
A—Current price lists will have
to be used. They’ll fluctuate, ac
cording to costs. Will probably
have to be determined each day
in line with market prices.
Q—What about a license?
A—We will have to obtain a
Territorial license, probably. We
have written for information on
what may be necessary. An in
dividual farmer needs no license
but the association will.
Q—How will this apply to our
association as a non-profit organ
ization?
A—Our attorney will advise us
on this.
Q—On the matter of member

ships—some of us have signed up
as permanent members, some as
occasional . . . how will that af
fect our votes and any profit
sharing?
A—That will have to be worked
out in the by-laws on which we
will vote.
Q—Who will be members of the
association?
A—Regular renters of booths.
Q—How many booths will we
have?
A—That will depend upon how
many want space, and how much
space. We plan for 20 booths.
Some of those can be subdivided.
No one who wants space will be
turned away.
Q—What will we sell?
A—'Produce, poultry, eggs,
flowers and so on; not in compe
tition with regular merchants.
Q—How will the public know
about our location?
A—We will use highway signs
so tourists will be directed. We’ll
depend on newspaper and radio
advertising and publicity, and on
word of mouth. If our wares and
produce are the best available,
business will come to us.
Q—We’ll need some standard
for our produce.
A—Naturally, it will have to
be the best.

done to improve the situation
there.”
Some may have read the report
of the exploratory group of agri
culture scientists.
To them we owe our thanks for
the agriculture research labora
tory. Their presentation of their
findings led Congress to make
the necessary appropriations for
the plant and personnel.
