DOVER. Del.. Feb. 33.—With over 300 shares subscribed at |3 a share, and Do­ver Orance Hall full to overflowing with farmers from all over the State, the Dela­ware Produce Exchange's temporary or­ganization decided to form a permanent organization, and appointed a committee of five to file articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of Stale. James T. 8ha.II- cro»s. of Middletown, presented at to­day's big meeting and Professor Wesley Webb was the secretary.

The committee on charter consists of James T. Shallcross, Middletown: Gilbert J. Meredith, Felton: Samuel M. Harring­ton, Dover: David Pennewlll, Greenwood: H. P. Quattlander. Mlllsboro.

As many farmers present declared that they would double their stock subscrip­tions If necessary to form a powerful Slate organization, and would Interest their neighbors, a permanent committee to solicit stock was appointed. President Shallcross appointed the following stock-

I holders as this soliciting committee:

C. P. Wainwrtght. Greenwood: John Heyd, Felton: M. N. Wlllltts. Middle- town; Joseph I. Phillips, Delmar; H. W. Marvin, Wyoming; J. E. Roland. Viola; Dr. H. N. Marvin. Dover; Oliver A Newton, Brldgeville; Burton Oosden. Wy­oming; H. P. Quattlander, Mlllsboro; J. H. Raughley. Harrington: Jacob E.Rosa, Milford; Edward A. Evans, Ches- wold; Harry V. I.yons, Lewe»; J. Frank Dukes, Selbyvlllo: F. J. Prettyman. Far­mington; C. H. Sackett, Lincoln. S. W. Darby, Jr., Frederica.

The enthusiasm that prevailed grew from the general belief that the farmers of Delaware, by thus combining, could reach out and deal with the best markets In the world, that gluts could he ro- venled. that failures In returns could be obviated, and that by protecting the pur­chaser agalns dishonest and Irregular packages and packing of fruits, higher prices would be realized on every pro- duct.

The charter will be applied for probably on Friday, and on Tuesdayl the stock­holders will again meet.
