To the Farmers and Producer of the State of
Texas
G NTLEMEN-In my letter of Janu-
airy Is, 1892, to G. G. Caldwell, Esq,
secretary of the Farmers Alliance of
the Tenth congressional district in re-
lation to the agricultural exhibits for
this department, how to ship them,
and the cost of transportation, ETC., |
stated that had addressed a letter to
the railway and express companies OF
the State, 10 ascertain if they would
bring such exhibits free of charge to
this office, as no appropriation had
been made to pay for their transporta-
zion.
The following companies have agre-
ed to bring your exhibits free of
charge to this department, viz: The
international and Great Northern, the
st. Louis Southwestern, and the
Houston, East and West Texas.
am very much disappointed i'll
he refusal Of the other companies adj
dressed to comply with nv request to
bring the exhibits free of charge. Had
all consented, the cases and glass jars
tor The purpose would soon be filled
with specimens of the products OF the
state.
confidently believe that the Twen-
ty-Third legislature, which will be
held in January 1893, will make an
appropriation to pay for the trans
portation of such exhibits. And L
hope that each farmer and producer,
who has an exhibit, will find some
way to send it here, so that a colec-
ton of the wonderful productions OF
the state may be placed for permanent
exhibition.
The farmers and producers, who
| live within reach of the international
and Great Northern railroad, will
please notify me when and where
they will deposit their exhibits, SC
that all may be ready for shipment
on given date; as this is the condi'
ton upon which they will be deliver
ed to this department free of charge.
But, until the next regular session
of the legislature. / most earnestly in
vite the cooperation and aid of all the
citizens of the state, who take pride
in showing what imperial Texas car
do in the production of food and sup
plies for all who dwell within hel
borders, and breathe her health.giv
ing breezes.
Please send agricultural exhibits o
the products of the state, such as cot
ton, corn, wheat, oats, etc., and also
sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, sugal
cane, sugar, syrup, fruit and vege
