The culture of the soil is the most indie.
pendent and enobling of callings. 'Tis
true in Tennessee we have had our
troubles, but when we look at our past
and at the present we have cause for
hope in the future. Since grim visaged
war smoothed his wrinkled front We
have been gradually developing and
progressing. We have been, during
all this time, oppressed by debt and
torn into factions, and embarrassed by
unregulated labor. Yet, since the first
few years of desponding, our State has
been advancing and progressing until
where on yesterday desolation was visi-
pie today is seen thrift and progress.
This has been done without extrinsic
aid, and grows out of the energy of our
peop's and the vast and varied resources
of the State. With a climate moder-
ate, not too severe for southern growth
and not too soft and warm for northern,
with adaptation of climate and soil for
full development of nearly all the
cereals, also for the greatest variety of
grasses, perennials, and for all that grow
out of these. Among her staples the
choisest tobacco grows, alike in the
hill lands of the East, IN the middle
and western portions of the State, and
cotton develops to that perfection in
the West as to command premiums
even when in competition with cotton
States. With these natural advan>
tages, our Tennessee cannot be kept
back With but the proper direction
of our energy, her development will
be greater and our progress more rapid,
her attractions are now more than ever
being sought after. The European en-
igrant, as he is borne along to fill his
contract with railroad agents to settle
in the West casts longing look to our
congenial climate. The northwestern
settler is growing wearied of the long
and severe winters which necessitates
the consumption of the products of his
rich prairie leaving him but little profit
His eye is directed to our southern
homes. Scarcely day passed last spring
without visitors from that quarter call
ing on me in this capitol and praising
alike our climate, soil and people.
| Added to these. the mineral re-
sources are also inviting capital, enter
prise and population, all of which pre-
sent bright promise for the future.
Let us then, as Tennesseas, and es-
pecially the farmers of the State, forget
the disasters and misfortunes of the
past and look with high hopes TO the
future. Our climate, our soil, our peo'
pie, all encourage the prospect and
hoping that your organization will con-
tribute to this end and with emphasis
upon the cordial greetings and warm
welcome extended. l take leave oI
you.

Col. Cockrill was then introduced,
and on taking the chair, said that as a
part of his education, public speaking
had been sadly neglected. He had
been educated in the fields; that while
he did not shrink from duty imposed
upon him, he would have much prefer
ed some other would have been chosen
to fill the place. The time had come
for organization, The farming interests
of Tennessee demand it. He urged at
some length the Importance of co.opera-

The best interests required systemat-
ic and thorough organization. Show
me a nation strong in agriculture, and

railroads and manufacturers cannot
succeed. This, it is true, is no political
movement, but, representing as we do,
