| 1oyable meetings of the kind which IL

the Farmers National Congress"
many Farmers Institutes and many
other farmers meetings, but have
never attended a farmers meeting so
happily and intelllgently conducted
as this State Farmers Congress

| OF the State Farmers Congress are
that each and every industrial or
ganization of the state could and did
hold during the forenoons their sep
| crate meetings. The swine breed
lers, the dairy men, the sheep growers,
| the horticulturist and truck growers,
| in fact every industrial organization
of the state except the poultry raisers.
which is one OF the leading and most
profitable industries Of the state.
