ton of railroad passes in Kansas e1-
cept for railroad employees and ram
lilies and for persons subjects OF char-
ity, and for shippers of live stock to
return to their homes after accom-
panying stock to market

ton peopling and natural genius nee
essarily engaged in producing grasses,
clovers and grain with her greatesl
source of wealth in her live animals,
her horses, cattle, swine, sheep ana
poultry and
'sWhereas. so create and maintain
in producing the best OF
horses cattle and other live STOCK, II
is essential that Kansas farmers nave
high and correct ideals, which they
can get only by knowing what other
men have done so that fam1narlty
with the best work of other breeders
is the first requisite of success to the
kansas grower of live animals, and |
whereas; the medium of the state fair |
is the best easiest and cheapest means |
of presenting to our people these
splendid examples of what the best |
breeders of the world nave acnleVeo' |
and
"Whereas. the use of a rightly or
ganized and conducted state fair |
brings great pleasure, as well as in
struction and profit to the country |
peopIe of a state, being only second in |

tural college, and
whereas, we do not believe that
the farmers and stockmen of Kansas
can soon attain to the degree of great
ness and success that is by right of
nature and inheritance theirs without
the aid Of a live, clean, progressive
state fair, we the Aberdeen Angus
Breeders association do hereby
"Resolve that we most respectfully
but earnestly petition our representa-
lives and senator's in legislature as
sernbled that they give the matter the
that its Importance de-
serves and that they enact such laws
and make such appropriations as will
naugurate and maintain fair worthy

ing stockmen thereof /

kansas represent such an enormous rel

1ary science at the college; therefore,
be it
Resolved, That the members of this.
the Kansas Improved Stock Breeders
individually work for an

Win be commensurate with the live
stock interests and that such an ap-
oropriation be not less than one hum
ired thousand dollars"
