576 TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART VII 



I think we are exceedingly fortunate that we have had these gentle- 

 men with us to give us these splendid addresses to fill in in this 

 emergency. 



Mr. Ingham referred to a matter here that I want to call special 

 attention to. You who listened to the reading of my address this 

 morning will recall that I touched on this same question myself, and 

 I was surprised to sit here tonight and listen to Mr. Ingham voice 

 that warning to the farmers of this country — the danger under these 

 conditions of creating a farmer peasantry in this country such as 

 exists in practically all of the European countries today. It seems 

 to me this is one of the greatest dangers that we are confronting 

 here in this great United States of America if these conditions are 

 not corrected, and it certainly behooves the sober, steady-going farm- 

 ers of this country to see to it that this condition is not allowed to 

 be brought about through the moneyed interests of this country. 



After making several announcements, the meeting adjourned to 

 meet on Wednesday morning at 9 :00 o'clock. 



WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1921. 



Morning Session. 

 The President : Now, gentlemen, Mr. Gainn does not need any 

 introduction, to you Corn Belt people especially. He has been vice 

 president of this organization for a great many years and I don't 

 think he has ever missed a meeting, unless it was one when he was 

 in the south one winter, to mingle with us. He is one of our repre- 

 sentative farmers and stockmen over at Buckingham, and he is 

 going to talk to us today on the subject of "Cattle Feeding Experi- 

 ences," so that without further delay I will introduce to you Mr. 

 R. A. Gunn. (Applause.) 



CATTLE FEEDING EXPERIENCES 



By R. A. Gunn. 



Mr, President and Members: If you folks think I am going to tell you 

 anything about making money in feeding cattle, I think you will soon dis- 

 cover that in these sandbagging days it is impossible to do so. I believe 

 that the cards have been stacked against us, and not only the cards right 

 upon the table, but they are Bret Harte's "Heathen Chinee,"
