Bro. Terrill, being called on, gave
an instructive and entertaining talk
on cooperation, followed by Bros
Gill, of Oxford. and Barry, ofNew
Orleans, on the same subject.
Bro. Afford offered the following
from the Committee on Agricul-
ture, which was adopted:
The short time allowed your
committee preclude an EXTENDED
report.
Your committee are of the opln'
ion that the agriculture of the State
has been vastly benefited and In
creased by the efforts of the State
Grange and the teachings OF ouI
Subordinate Oranges.
In those portions of the STATE
where the Grange has been in the
most f1ourishing condition our fai'
ners are in better circumstances
having learned to diversity tnell
crops and thereby render them
selves independent.
When we contemplate the vAs'
and wonderful agricultural Proouc'
tons of our State, furnished by inc
Census of 1880, we are amazeu
that the aggregate of these V va
millions are controlled by middle.
men, and that the producers OF tnls
vast wealth get so small a propolf
ton for their support. In we" u
these considerations and the tact Oi
the oppression under existing Jaws
your committee believe that INC
lime for more advanced action anu
aggressive efforts has arrived anu
therefore, recommend that our Leg
stature be most earnestly urged any
solicited to carry out the various
measures recommended by 'ni
,ody of representative farmers fO =
he entire State of Mississippi ~

We endorse the report OF w
