The committee on resolutions reported

Your committee. believing the reports
published by Michigan. New York and

the land was dcnudcd Of timber the
supply Of water has wonderfully dimin-
ishcd. las well as the knowledge We
possess Of the shortage we visibly find
existing in our Arkansas river do en-
dorsc the action taken by the forest re-
serve officials in Colorado. And We sug-
gcst that VIC in body sign the petition
sent us. Considering what has been said
by Mcssrs Crowley, Swink and Randall
concerning reservoirs for the storage. Of
supply waters in times Of shortage, we
would suggest that the chair appoint Mr..
G.. w. Swink, Mr.. Crowley and MIR.
Randall as a committee to urge upon
the Scc'y of the Interior the necessity Of
such reservoirs. Also as well the great
er necessity OF supplying more waters to
those bitches now built so that all land
under bitches now built may be irrigated
rather than to try and reclaim land not
yet under any ditch.
The committee further begged leave
to recommend the following resolution:
RESOLVED, That the Farmers lnsti-
tute of Otcro County in convention as
sembcd at Rocky Ford, Colorado, Ian
uary %. 1904, express its high sa,isfac-
tion at the assurance Just given us by
Scc'y of Agriculture Wilson. that the
U. S. Government will shortly undertake

the finishing of Colorado beef cattle in

dound so largely to the pecuniary ad-
vantage of the people Of our stale.
