appreciation for the entertainment given at the Tabernacle for the benefit

MR. RIEPE, of Utah: I move the adoption of the resolution. 



The motion was duly seconded, put to a vote and declared carried. 



PROF. CHILCOTT: "RESOLVED, That the thanks of the Trans- 

 Missouri Dry Farming Congress be expressed to its retiring President, 

 Mr. Fisher Harris, of Salt Lake City, for his untiring efforts in behalf 

 of this Congress." (Long applause.) 



MR. RIEPE, of Utah: I move the adoption of the resolution. 



The motion was duly seconded, put to a vote and declared unani- 

 mously carried. 



PROF. CHILCOTT: Now, Mr. President, I have here a resolution 

 that was reported from the Executive Committee to this body and by 

 them reported back to the Committee on Resolutions. The resolution 

 as coming from the Executive Committee is as follows: 



"That an annual fee of One Dollar be charged for affiliated member- 

 ship in the Trans-Missouri Dry Farming Congress, and that a life mem- 

 bership fee of ten dollars be charged, and that for such fee a certificate of 

 membership and all of the literature issued by the Congress, including 

 ■t-he proceedings of the present Congress, be forwarded to each member by 

 the Secretary." 



That was reported to the Committee on Resolutions. Our under- 

 standing was that the purpose of that reference was to have the com- 

 mittee draw up a resolution that would make that consistent with our 

 constitution, or if necessary, draw up a resolution for an amendment to 

 our constitution that would be consistent with this idea.' Was that the 

 understanding of the Chair? 



CHAIRMAN BURRELL: That is right, as the Chair understands it. 



PROF. CHILCOTT: Acting upon that, then, we have prepared the 

 following resolution, which we present to the Congress for its consider- 

 ation. 



"RESOLVED, That Article V of the Constitution of the Trans- 

 Missouri Dry Farming Congress be amended to read as follows: 

 Delegates to this Congress shall be as follows: 



The Governor of each state and territory may appoint ten and not 

 more than twenty delegates;
