adopted-approving the meteorological re-
| ports now furnished from Washington; urging
| upon Congress the extension of the system, so
| that the farmers could receive daily reports at
all post offices and railway stations; recogniz-
| ing the importance of national system OF
crop reports; indorsing the plan laid down by
| the late Commodore Maury, and providing for
urging these points on the Government.
A motion was made to take from the table
the resolutions relative TO donating public
lands to Agricultural Colleges, bat there was
! a large majority against the motion, and the
| resolutions were undisturbed.
Resolutions were adopted regretting the
death Of Commodore Maury, of Virginia, and
Mr.. McAllister, of Pennsylvania, late members
of the Congress.
The Constitution was amended 80 that each
regularly organized agricultural, horticul
tural, or other kindred association contribut
ing s. or more TO the support OF the Congress
should be entitled TO one representative, and
establishing hereafter standing committee Of
the Congress.
A motion TO indorse the Western and East
erR transportation scheme, being railroad
from Leavenworth, Kansas, TO Port Royal,
South Carolina, was referred TO the Transpor
tation Committee . report TO the next Con-
gress.
General Jackson, Of Tennessee, the new
President, was installed, and, after returning
thanks, said that, after long period of apathy
and criminal neglect Of the most important in
terests of the nation, the cultiyators of the
soil, North and South, East and West, by CO.
operation with each other, had set on foot and
fully organized the National Congress. TWEEN
ty-fye States of the Union were represented at
the meeting They recognized in the Congress
|
its purpose the advancement of agriculture
and the protection of the farmer whether
known as Farmers Clubs, Associations,
Oranges OF Husbandry, Farmers Unions, or
by whatever name they might be designated.
The representatives OF these, including the
National and State Boards of Agriculture and
Agricultural Colleges, would meet in the Con-
gress ON the common ground, to consult upon
subjects Of public import, and compare inter
ests, and for mutual advancement and self
protection. Heretofore they had been
an army at rout, each one for him
self and to himself, oftentimes pull
ing in opposite directions, thereby neutalizing
their strength. Their plan was simple, posi-
BILE, and feasible. By ii the farmers Of this
bread land could exert the influence and power
to which their aggregate numbers about one
half the population of America, their property,
interests, and importance entitled them. They
should work up their States, and the watch
word in all Farmers Unions should be"Or-
ganize and Harmonic" Applause.
The Congress adjourned to meet at Atlanta,
Ca, in May, 1874
