council would be of no value in
these communities.

to the welfare of agriculture-was
not being enforced because of some
unknown cause. To call the atten
ton of the state legislature, now in
session, to this situation, the fol
lowing resolution was adopted at the
meeting:
"Inasmuch as there is a state law
on the statute books of oklahoma
providing for the gathering agricul-
tural statistics annually by county
assessors and,
Whereas, These statistics are not
being systematically gathered and
are necessary for community and
county cooperation for the devel-
opment of our agricultural re-
sources, therefore.
BE it Resolved: By the Grady
County Far council in session at
Chikasha, Okla, Tuesday, January
%, that the legislature of O1laho-
ma, now in session, so vitalize this
law as to make it effective and use
full in securing the necessary data
each year"
