THE FARMER AND his CONGRESS-
J. r Rabeok

h Is an astonishing fact that in
this great state there are yet many
fairly intelligent and progressive
farmers who have never attended a
session of the Congress at College
station,
Such men have the Idea that this
annual reunion Is in fact only a grand
IunketiuK expedition for recreation
and pleasure Il Is a rest and re-
creation. but Il is much more,
II has been fixed at date when
all engaged IN agriculture or It's al
lied Industries can best spare tho
time necessary TO attend Il is locat-
ed at a central point in the state, and
the place OF all othere where the far
mer can feel AT home for those vast
buildings and grounds are as much
his own, and as entirely for his bene-
fit as Is the vine clad cottage on his
60 acres Every organization in the
state from heekeepers TO cotton far
mers have their great annual meeting
here, and these many organizations
constitute the Congress.
Each Of these have fine hail as
signed them in which to meet during
the day. and at night they all gather
at the great auditorium where all
matters Of general interest are dis
cussed and passed upon.
The rooms. beds. and dining hall
OF the college are cheerfully placed
at our service by the faculty and
other arrangements 10 meet the need
of the vast crowds expected to attend
| this year, are being made. The trans
portation companies have for years
made a rate so low, that, as the show
| man says. 1T is cheaper to go than TO
stay at home
! Now, brother farmers, just consid
er Here will be gathered from ev-
cry part of the state, the most pro-
gressive, ambitious and successful
men in every line of agriculture, and
| they will discuss every profitable
subject in which they are interested,
| from every possible standpoint. If
| you don't know it all, come TO the
| Congress, and if you do,be sur to
come, you are the man we need.
| Last spring l heard one truck
grower ovation of Fictoria) ask an
other if he was going to attend the
| association meeting at Palacios. He
| replied that he was so busy shipping
| his stuff that he could not afford to
go. Mr. Walton replied: Il am just
as busy as you are, but cannot af-
| ford to stay away"

AMERICAS ROADS.


There is nothing which bears more
directly upon the development of
country or upon the general intelli-
gence of a community than good pub
lie highway. The growth and excellence
of the transportation system of the
United States mark its development,
as it is to that system it is most due.
However the science Of production may
be advanced. it is the giving of efficient
and low priced means of distribution
which is the most efficient agent in in
/ ereasing production whether of factory,
| teld or mine.
True as this is, ii is remarkable that
in this rapidly growing country of ours
we have long neglected the proper de-
| velopment Of our highway system, says
a writer i'll the Boston Herald, We
have, in fact. developed our transpor
tation system in an unnatural way
The proper development should have
been first the public highways, seconC
the railroad and waterways

with which began the cOuutry's won

Further along in his speech Sena-
tor Warren said in reply TO the state
ment by Senator Carter, that If the
inspection fees are placed on the
packers, the consumer and the cat
tie raisers both will have TO pay them.
The senator from Montana, in de-
scribing what may happen with the
charge for all the inspectors expen-
ses, reminds me of the old story of
the miller IN ancient times when
every grist OF grain was tolled at the
neighboring grist mill. The miller
had nine sons, and. on reaching the
mill when the grist was grinding, he
would say, Sam, did you toll Deacon
Browns wheat Yes, father. A
little later, Robert, did you toll that
grist?' Yes. sir Dan, did you toll
that grists' Yes, sir And so on
down through the line until all nine
sons had said they had tolled the
grist Then the old man would say,
You are all a pack of - liars. |
will toll IL myself. That is probably
what the packers would do if you col
lect fees from them. We would all
pay"
