Commerce, discussing the "Value of California's Harbors to 

 its Agriculture," pointed out the fact that, as the farmer is 

 the foundation of our country's prosperity, so is the farmer 

 concerned in all matters that concern this country's greatness, 

 and harbors are one of those. He also declared that insep-

At the conclusion of the reading of the resolution, com- 

 prising the report of the Committee on Resolutions, Marsden

Mr. Akerman then presented a supplementary report in
