resolutions:

merchantable wheat. which will test
SO lbs. per bushel. should hold for
one dollar per bushel.
2. Resolved, That owners of
wheat Of understandable quality
should be allowed to exercise their
own judgment and discretion in
marketing same.
Resolved, That. Whereas. the
marketing Of our surplus grain has
always been upon a very ruinous
basis for the farmers, we recon-
mend and urge the organization of a
Grain Growers Association. to fix a
fair and equitable price for same,
and make permanent arrangements
for marketing same upon an equit-
able basis and that our delegates to
the next State Unien be instructed
to do what they may deem proper
for the promotion Of such an organ

The report was received and on
motion it was taken up by Sec
tons for adoption or rejection.
1T was known that the delegates
were considerably divided upon the
best course to persue upon the
wheat question and the resolutions
were listened to with intense inter-
est.
Upon being called upon, President
Moreland gave his views in a well
timed speech, which was appreciat-
ed by the delegates. He took the
position that, as the great wheat
sections were unorganized and SELL
ing the entire crop, it would be un-
wise for Ohio county with her
drop in the bucket" to undertake
to control the market. After sever
al speeches on each side of the ques-
ton, a motion was made and carried
limiting all speeches to five minutes.
After more than an hours warm and
interesting discussion by such men
as Alney Tichenor, John p. Foster,
Albert Cox, E. G. Austin, L. G. Well
Ter and others, the first section was
adopted by vote of 81 to 81. The
other sections of the report being
adopted practically unanimously.
Vice-President Alney Tichenor
then presented the following resolu-
tioa, which was adopted by large
majority:
Resolved, That we demand our
millers and merchants to use the
surplus of the Socities' wheat in
