Among the more important resolutions

lowing:
PARIS GRAIN EXHIBITION.
Whereas, Nearly every interest and in
dustry, except agriculture, receives am
pie and generous aid from the govern
ment
whereas, There has been an appropria-
tlon made by congress for the purpose Of
making an exhibit Of agricultural prod
ucts at the worlds fair this year;
Whereas, We believe that the sum thus
make an exhibit of such size and char
acter as BELTS the dignity Of this nation
and the Importance of the industry SO
represented;
Whereas We heI;eva +bo+ M ovbih,+ ~
at least the two staple crops of this ma
t1on-corn and wheat-and the many and
important uses that those two products
can be used, would do much to Increase
the consumption of same and find new
markets and customers for same, that
would be OF great advantage to the
american farmer in finding sale for this
immense crop Of 1000, 100000 bushels Of
corn Of value Of $3.50, 900, 900, and 675, 0OO,-
$780,, COO 600.
Whereas. Other nations have made gen.
erous appropriations for the exhibits of
their respective agricultural products and
VIII snow up at great advantage in
comparison to our meager and unsatis-
factory exhibit; therefore, be 1t
Resolved, That we, the National Grain
Growers association, In convention as
sembled. do most earnestly and respect
fully urge congress to set aside at least
s200,UO to make a respectable and COM
plete exhibit Of the products Of corn and
wheat;
Resolved, That we believe that an ex-
hibit as the one contemplated now by the
United States worlds fair commissioners
with the amount set aside for agrtcul-
tural exhibits would be Of more damage
than good for the American farmer.
WAR TAX.
Whereas. Recognizing the burdens that
lay so heavily on the industry of agri-
culture and as all such taxes levied on
farm products or the necesaries of life
fall on the producer and = consumer;
therefore. be 1t
Resolved, That we favor the repeal Of
the war tax on tea and on agricultural
products.
