210 MISSOURI AGRICULTURAL REPORT. 



Mr. Ziegler : What you want to do now is to see that your 

 Agricultural College has a good appropriation. Prof. Mumford has 

 given us much good information and he will do much for the people 

 of this State if you will just give him half a chance. I have seen 

 enough of him here to know what I am talking about. If you want 

 good results, support him. You have the right man to do the work. 



RESOLUTIONS. 



Mr. Ellis : I desire to offer the following resolutions : 



I. Resolved, that a vote of thanks be given by this Association 

 to the members of the press who have taken such interest in pub- 

 lishing the proceedings of this meeting, and to the Springfield Club 

 for the courtesies they have extended, and especially to Mr. Geo. F. 

 Reed, President of the Missouri State Road Association, for the in- 

 terest that he has taken in the meeting and the untiring efforts he 

 has exerted to make it a success. 



2. Resolved, that we extend the thanks of this Association to 

 the gentlemen visiting from other states, for the very able assistance 

 they Rave rendered in the proceedings of this meeting. 



We have a gentleman here from Iowa and one from Illinois, and 

 I want to say in support of that resolution that very complimentary 

 remarks have been made about the part that these gentlemen have 

 taken on the program, certainly a compliment to the gentlemen and 

 a compliment to the states from wdiich they come ; and as Missourians 

 we are proud to welcome them to this State and we are glad that 

 they are here for the purpose of helping to arouse an interest in im- 

 proved methods of stock breeding and feeding and also to teach us 

 what they have learned by experience in our sister states. 



Resolutions adopted as read.
