principle of educating Its sons for the
farm and not off of It. Campbell Rus
sell the big rancher of Indian Territo
ry. aroused much . merriment , by -aa
amendment, which was unanimously
adopted. It read aa follows:
''Resolved, further. That politicians,
lawyers and prominent cltlsans. whose
their having practical knowledga of
tha needs of the agriculturists, and
the knowledge of the science of agri
culture, or practical experience la

otism .by steadfastly declining to accept
and enjoy such honors."

J. B. Lewis president of the Ar

great shoulders, mighty chsst and i

"Arkansas Is a great state. In eplle of

strong In our elate, and It Ie doing a
wonderful work In bettering Iht condl

James Butler, of Topeka. Kane, la

"What pleases me, and demonstrates
with what success the Farmers’ Union

which has marked the sessions of the

It was In this manner that J. G. Eu
