In call recently issued for the fourth
session of the National Agricultural Col
lege, to be held at Cincinnati on the 22d,
23d and 24th of September, it is specified
that {" the congress is in no sense a sec
tional or partisan organization. Its OBJ
iect is the discussion of questions in
which the agricultural class in all sec
tions of the country are interested, dis
cussing them with view to securing the
best permanent prosperity of the agricult-
ural interest in all its phases, and hence
the prosperity of the nation. In accord
ance with this design the approaching
session will mainly be devoted to ad-
dresses and discussions on political
economy in its special relations to
agriculture--the production and dis
tribution of agricultural products
education, organization, cooperation and
legislation for, by, or concerning farmers
and agriculture; transportation, finance
and taxation as affecting agricultural pros
perity." II is urged that all organizations
laboring for the good of agriculture be
represented by delegates. agricultural
