ly aided..in his work IL the breeders
over the state would answer his let
tiers more promptly. Mr.. Wilson said
that in the near future that he
wanted to see the block OF the asso-
citation covered with buildings with
500 cattle here for sale. We are now
just beginning and we now have a
crowd twice as large as can get in the
sale pavilion. With the three lines
of railroads building across the state
a great market for our stock will be
opened up.
A. Il. Chamberlain read the report
OF the committee on resolutions and
the sections relating to the inspec-
tion of stock for the sale brought
forth a great deal OF discussion, the
president and others taking the posi-
tion that the stock should be inspect
ed after it was brought to the sale
but Mr.. Chamberlain and others
maintained that it should be inspect
ed at home while ON the farm and
thus prevent any i'll feeling in case
a man should have his stock thrown
out after he had brought them to
the sale. The majority favored the in
spection at home and the resolutions
as adopted by the association we're
as follows: ...
Whereas, The citizens of Mitchell,
have. from the time of the organiza-
ton of this association up to the
present time, been very generous in
their fayorS shown the association,

ests Of the members of this %associa-
of South Dakota who is engaged to
any degree whatever in the live stock
industry, to have upon our statute
books a strict law designed to eradi-
ate aud to prevent the importation
into the state of tuberculosis in do
nestle animals;
And whereas. This disease more
frequently appears in the cattle kind,
and all of tue neighboring states
have strict laws OF inspection, quar-
antlpe, and for the destruction Of
animals infected herewith:
Therefore, we the Live Stock
Breeders and Poultry Association
of the State OF South Dakota do re-
spectfully request and demand that,
at the next session Of the legislature
of this state, a law shall be enacted
providing That any and all cattle
brought into the stat, either for
feeding or breeding purposes, for a
period of live years. shall be thorough
ly inspected and tested for tuberculo-
sis according to the latest and best
known test. before being admitted
into the state; be it further
Resolved. That this association ex-
tends to the Bureau of Animal In
dustry OF the United States it's
thanks, and hereby expresses its
hearty appreciation Of the work of
said department i'm its endeavors to
stamp out the disease known as
''scabbies." and that it further ex-
tends to the last legislature and
Governor of this state its thanks for
the efforts on their behalf to eradi-
cate. cure and stamp out the said
disease among u flocks and herds.
Whereas, There is a bill before Con-
gress introduced by Congressman
Marshall of North Dakota. for the
removal of duty on alcohol. so that
it can be used for fuel and for man
ufacturing purposes:
Whereas, The passage Of such a
bill would bring crude alcohol made
from grain. potatoes, and similar
products Of tie farm into competi-
tion with gasoline as a fuel .-and for
manufacture, and would also drive
from the market wood alcohol, which
is a danger to health and life;
Whereas, this proposed law would
benefit the farmers as we'll as the
manufacturers Of the country, as this
fuel would be cheaper and better
than either kerosene or gasoline:
and
Whereas. this crude alcohol would
be undrinkable and unfit for use as
beverage, therefore be it
Resolved, That this association,
being the largest organization OF
farmers and stockmen in the state
OF South Dakota, favor the passage
OF the proposed measure and urge the
members Of our delegation in Wash
inRton to do all in their power to se.
cure early and favorable action
thereon. and congress TO press this
