crops, will form a combination suited to a continued, permanent agriculture for the dry lands, and at the same time protect the farmer and his family from the effects of occasional droughts. ''
 Concerning the enlargement of the plans for future work the ideas suggest. ed by Secretary Burns give in most concise form the policy of the congress By resolution, the congress adopted plans for carrying out the suggestions that were given in the seeretary's 's an nual report, as follows:
 During the past year very impor tant developments have demanded rec ognitnon of the necessity for larger plans in considering future work. Ev- cry state in the west and many states east of the proposed line of demarka- tion between the semi-ar and the rain belt districts, has given evidence of lively interest in the congress and it's work Editorial utterances in leading newspapers in New Hampshire, Tennes see, New York and other eastern states. indicate that the success of the con gross means untold wealth in adQ Ii agricultural production in sections of the east where drouth is an element to be combatted by the farmer. Official communications from officers of the az ricultural departments of many nations indicate that the successful working out of the problems before this congress will permanently affect the prosperity of these nations and that it is the duty of this great organization to spread its educational work into every part of the world.
 "The organization of the Texas Dry Farming congress through the untir- ing work of Committeeman Martin of the general congress was triumph which shows plainly the advancement made by this movement and the possi- bility of organizing local state organi- cations for the purpose of arousing lo- cal interest among farmers in their own behalf in the greater study of the world problem. Your secretary suggests that while there should be no cessation Of the work along the lines already fixed by the past experience and by the con stitution of the congress-theTe should be greater effort to establish the NtIh .luipuSn lONdi NhiNh should cooperate officially under the constitutions with the parent organi- zation, and to push the membership into every section where dry farming may be considered helpful in advanc ing agricultural interests.
 "A As a means of fixing official federal interest in the congress in every nation it would be we'll to organize "Divi- sions,, for the various nations or um pires throughout the world. The Diyi- sion of the British Empire for instance, should contain "Seetions" for the Do- minion of Canada, the commonwealtbs of Australia, the Dominion of New Zea. land, the union of South Africa, India and Egypt. This plan can be followed with the nations of the earth. No con stitutional lines can be fixed at the fourth congress but sanction should be given to the administrative officers for the working out of the suggestions and the preliminary establishment of the work during the year, the final de- tailed plans to be submitted and results of correspondence and international work to be reported to the fifth con gress.'
