Looking at your badge struck a bell- sometimes I get caught up in a particular area of my collection that I forget some of the other stuff. Anyway, I found I did, indeed, have one of those and another badge which may be related; very similar in design content. Do you have any idea about the organizations these badges represent?

[Greg Collins]

The backs of the badges, both with "MS" although the pin holder has, at some point, been "redone" on the larger badge.

Hallo Greg,

nice badges, from what I can learn

these were made for use by members of the Agricutural

Co-operative Congress (possibly held on an Annual basis)

where they discussed ways of improving the yield of crops,

Animal Husbandry, and nodoubt general ways of improving the

running of the co-operatives.
