that the manufacture of cotton bags
for guano will promote the interest of
our farmers; and whereas, 1t is believed
that these cotton bags for guano will
prove as serviceable and useful to the
guano manufacturers and factors as
the material now used and that the
adoption of this covering for guano
will prove of less cost to the manufact-
urers than the material now used; and
whereas. it is to the interest of the
guano manufacturer to aid and sup
port such Southern industry; therefore
be it
Resolved, That we recommend the
adoption of cotton bags as a suitable
and proper covering for guano.
Reso!ved, That the manufacturers of
guano throughout the country, be and
are hereby earnestly requested to adopt
cotton bags as covering, for the guano
as sold by them for the most part to
the farmers Of the South.
Resolved, That cotton bags be and
are hereby recommend as suitable
covering for all kinds of grain and
ship stuffs, adopted.

WHEREAS, Unrestricted immigra-
ton to this from foreign countries is
fraught with danger to our institu-
tons and is inimical to our best in
terest.
Be it resolved by this body, that we
the representatives of the order
throughout the country do most en-
phatically urge and instruct our Sena-
tors and representatives in Congress
to pass whatever laws may be neces-
sary to exclude all emigrants who can
not give proof of having been law
abiding citizens in the countries from
which they immigrated, and who can
not give assurance of honest purpose
of becoming citizens of this country;
and whereas, our organization will find
its strongest safe guard in the intelli-
gence of it's members; and whereas,
the education of farmers is one of it's
chief aims; be it
Resolved, That our best interest as a
class and the future welfare of the or
der demand for the common schools
OF the country a system that will pro-
mote the practical education in them,
that will best qualify for the actual
duty of the farm.
RESOLVED, That a committee of three
be appointed by this body, the duty of
which shall be to outline a system of
education for farmers children, who
are limited to the common schools, to
this body at it's next annual meeting

found worthy. The prime object be-
ing to secure such systems as will best
develop through and promote the
practical education, the progress of the
