We are published below resolutions
as passed by the Farm Bureaus of the
Southwestern district, as passed at the

follows:
eve, the delegates from the various
counties that have organized County
Farm Bureaus, having met in Texar-
kama, this October %, 1870, to work
out plan of better cooperation among
the communities that they have organ
lied Farm Bureaus, submit the fol-
lowing:
Several counties were represented
and reports made from each county,
showing the work done in said county.
Among the things that have beer ac-
complished are several potato dry
houses have been built and are now
handling the farmers potayoes. Some
have provided for bonded warehouses
so that products stored therein may
be used by reason of the bonded ware

Resolved: That we heartily en-
dorse the work being done by the
Bureaus in the community organized.
We recommend this organization to
the farmers of the entire state, as be-
ing a very sane, conservation and
business like organization, organized
to study and work out the farmers
problems. We urge upon all counties
not yet organized to do so at an early
State Bureau we may soon perfect a
State Bureau Federation, realizing that
a state organization can handle some
problems to better advantages that a
county or district bureau.
"Resolved further, that we decry in
the strongest terms possible, spirit
Of lawlessness that seem to be riding
in some section of county. We deem
it disloyal and unpatriotic for any man
or set of men to interfere with the
rights of individuals or property. All
attempts by night riders or others TO
violate the laws of our country in any
way meet with our severest condem-

Eve further recommend, that all
farmers gather their crops as rapidly
as possible, have the same ginned and
put in some warehouse to keep it dry
and prevent it being damaged, If it is
not possible or convenient to use a
warehouse, then some suitable house
on the farm where grown.
Resolved further, that we heartily
endorse the work done by the agri-
cultural extension forces in the state.
] We believe that inestimable good has
been accomplished, and that in reality,
the good to be derived from such work
is just beginning.
Resolved further, that we unani-
mously require the quorum courts in
these counties where said courts have
been yet to meet to make the appro-
priations to carry on the work in

home demonstration agent.
"We realize that the demonstration
agent can never profit financially in

farmers have and will continue to
benefit from the demonstration work.

culture that is coming the county
needs the advice of those experts, and
we feel that it would be great loss
to agricultural interest In any county
where such work might be discontinu-
