DRY- FARMING CONGRESS, WICHITA, 1914 



MR. BAINER: 



The motion has been made and seconded that a vote of thanks be ex- 

 tended to R. H. Faxon, the Executive Secretary-Treasurer, for his efforts 

 in behalf of the Congress. 



MR. MANTLE: 



I would like to suggest that we make this by a rising vote. 



MR. BAINER: 



It has been suggested that we make this a rising vote. The motion is 

 unanimously carried. 



MR. DILLON: 



I have one more motion to make, and that is that the Secretary be 

 requested to draw up a resolution, for presentation at the proper time, ex- 

 pressing the thanks of this Congress to the citizens of Wichita in every 

 branch of industry that has contributed to this great meeting and to the 

 press of Wichita, and that about covers the question I believe; but I want 

 those to participate in this resolution — the people and the press. 



MR. BAINER: 



You have heard this motion. Do I hear a second? 



Seconded. 

 MR. BAINER: 



The motion has been made and seconded. Are there any remarks ? 



MR. KNIGHT: 



The motion was to instruct the Secretary, was it not? 



MR. BAINER: 



It was. All in favor of the motion, make it known by saying "Aye." 

 All opposed, "No." The motion is carried. Is there any other business to 

 come before the meeting at this time ? 



Note: The report of the Committee on Resolutions was here presented. 

 The resolutions appear at the close of this volume. 



A DELEGATE: 



Has the meeting place for next year been decided upon? 



MR. BAINER: 



It has not. 

 CHAIRMAN DRUMMOND: 



After we get through with this general session, the Executive Com- 

 mittee will be in open session and the question will be answered then. I 

 will say the matter of locating the next meeting place is largely a matter of 

 contract. We have a number of invitations but before we accept those in- 

 vitations, we want to know what the surroundings are in those places and
