than poetry in that statement One eX-
ample will suffice A young farmer in
New York owned forty fine Holstein
Friesian cows. Because he could not
hire men to help milk himself and
wife MIXED those forty COWS for two
months. Then the farmer sold his
forty COWS for 500 q piece Look at
the loss to the country. The milk was
only a part Of the loss. The loss OF
forty fine large HOlstein Frlesian
calves every year is a greater loss TO
the country than the milk, and irri-
cation in the west helped TO take away
the men from the east. The farmers
help pay for irrigation in the west
and in the east in taxes. Therefore,
Resolved That we respectfully request
the National Grange to petition to
congress to stop irrigation for the
present for the benefit of the whole
United States"
This resolution represents a feeling
in the grange many years ago, but the
grange now stands strongly for irriga
tion. Il was referred to the committee
on agriculture.
