458 IOWA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 



public agencies as our Department of Agriculture and our state agricul- 

 tural colleges. 



Resolved, That while we demand economic justice for the farmer and 

 stockman, and shall do everything in our power to promote organizations 

 strong enough to secure it, we are not in sympathy with movements which 

 depend mainly for their support on appeals to class prejudice and which 

 are fostered by self-seekers or by men ignorant of economic laws. The 

 hope of the farmer and stockman for a square deal must lie in a better 

 understanding of business laws and conditions, without which he can not 

 hope to secure proper changes in existing laws. 



Resolved, That we commend the fearless and sound editorials m 

 Wallace's Farmer concerning the prices under consideration by the Food 

 Administration. We believe that these editorials were a prime factor in 

 maintaining the prices of hogs and in preventing a reduction of prices 

 below the cost of production. And we further commend the paper for the 

 general advocacy of whatever was for the interest of the producer. 



Resolved, That we commend the work of the officers of this Association, 

 and especially we express our thanks to Mr. A. Sykes, president, and Mr. 

 H. C. Wallace, secretary, for the excellent work done by them for our 

 interests.
