IRISH FARMERS LEADER
PROMISES SPEECH HERE
Sir Horace Plunkett, Who Ranched
Ten Years, to Attend Board
Convention.

Sir Horace Plunkett of Dublin,
Ireland, has cabied that he will be
present to address the convention of
the National Board of Farm Or
ganfzations to be held in this city
February II. II, IS and IA. Sir
Horace, a world leader in the agri-
cultural movement. sailed Wednesday
on the Adriatic, according to his
message.
The success of the Irish agricultural
movement has made him we'll known
to Americans, according to Charles
Lyman. secretary of the National
Board of Farm Organizations Sir
Horace is credited with being the one
man responsible for this success.
American conditions are also well
known to him. said Mr.. Lyman yes
terday, for he ranched for ten years
in America in the heyday of the cow
boy life. He left America for his
home in Ireland in 1881, but has re-
turned each year for a visit.
THE Wisconsin cooperative law of
1911. which has been the model of
many state laws for protecting farm
ers' interests, was also, in part the
product of Sir Horace's brain and ex
perience," said Mr.. Lyman.
