No. 4.] FARMERS' NATIONAL CONGRESS. 525 



These resolutions can be consulted in full in the printed 

 reports of the Congress . 



The character of the proceedings of the Congress, the 

 papers read before it and the resolutions passed stamp it as 

 not behind that of any of the annual meetings of the body. 

 The success of the meeting was largely due to the efforts of 

 the executive committee, the committee appointed by the 

 Massachusetts Board of Agriculture, Hon. George A. Stock- 

 well of Providence, R. I., the generous appropriation by the 

 State of Massachusetts of one thousand dollars in aid of the 

 expense incurred, and to the officers of the Congress working 

 in harmony for that end. 



Respectfully submitted, 



R. G. F. CANDAGE, 



For the Delegates. 

 Boston, Dec. 22, 1899.
