Afternoon-A few questions were
asked from the question box, the COM
mittee on resolutions made the fol-
lowing report, which was adopted.
We your committee on resolutions
are grateful with the interest taken
in better farming and realizing the
the great benefit that farmers insti-
tutes are to those who avail them
selves of their influences and benefit.
We recommend that the agricultural
commission continue the farmers in
stitute and thereby bring modern
methods and scientific agriculture as
nearly to the masses of people as
possible. We urge that the people
avail themselves of the opportunity
afforded them.
1t is our judgement that this insti-
tute is one of the best ever held in
Fulton county.
We therefore commend the officers
of this institute for their efforts in
working out the plans, and conduct
ing the sessions.
We especially commend the instruc
tors, D. D. Harsh and G. W. Scott, for
their able and instructive work and all
those who took part in the discussions
of the various subjects. We wish to
thank all those who in any way con-
tributed toward the success of this in
stitute.
We commend Hon. F. H. Reighard
for the stand he has taken in the
legislature on matters affecting the
interests of the ueople.
We respectfully urge that he use his
influence and vote to effect an equal
distribution of the auto license mon
ey among the S8 counties of the state.
We commend the efforts of the
agricultural commission to stamp out
Hog Cholera from our state and ex-
press our appreciation of the efforts
of our u. S. Senators to secure nat
ional appropriation to battle hog
cholera.
On account of the great diversity
of soil in Fulton county we deem it
unwise to establish an experimental
farm in Fulton county.
We respectfully urge the agricul-
tural commission to grant Wauseon
the Agricultural School next winter. |
in the event of our not being able to
land this school we would further re-
quest that the state furnish a lady
speaker for the Wauseon Institute
next winter.
We respectfully urge that parents
whose boys enter the corn contes.
permit the boys to have the proceeds |
of such crop, providing the boy will
invest in an eight weeks term in the
o. S. u.
We are heartily in favor of the i'm
migration bill now before CONGRESS-.
We firmly believe in equality in
taxation and deplore the loud con-
tention for "Tax Free Bonds" we ask
our law makers to enact law pro-
viding for the taxation of bonds at the
place of issue. Respectfully submit
