THIRD ANNUAL SESSIONS 



fake advertising and a motion was made to refer it back to the com- 

 mittee, and another motion was made to put it on the table; if we put 

 it on the table, the inference is we are in favor of fake advertising." 



GOV. BROOKS, (presiding) : "Gentelmen, the motion which you 

 are to vote on is the amendment to the amendment which will place 

 this resolution on the table and that would be equivalent to killing the 

 resolution. The question is on the amendment to the amendment — the 

 'Noes' have it and the amendment to the amendment is lost. We will 

 now vote on the amendment, which is to refer the resolution back to 

 the Resolutions Committee. All in favor of that amendment say 'Aye;' 

 those opposed 'No.' The 'Noes' have it and the amendment is lost. 

 You are now voting on the original motion, that the resolution be adop- 

 ted as read; all in favor of the resolution say 'Aye;' those opposed 'No.' 

 The motion is adopted and the resolution accepted." 



FARM STUDIES IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. 



PROF. GHILCOTT: "The next resolution is as follows: This reso- 

 lution was handed to me by a member of the Resolutions Committee 

 after adjournment of that Committee. I was told by the member that 

 he had submitted it to the several members of that Committee and that 

 there was no objections to it. If the Chair does not object, I will submit 

 this resolution and move its adoption. 



"RESOLVED: That we recognize the fact that one of the most 

 potent factors in the promotion of Dry Farming along scientific lines 

 must come from the education of the youth of our land in that sci< n- 

 tific principles upon which successful agriculture rests, therefore we 

 recommend the establishment of an adequate course of instruction along 

 this line, with provision for practical experimentation and demonstra- 

 tion wherever possible, in all public schools, also that provision be 

 made for the instruction of all teachers along this line." 



Adopted by unanimous vote. , 



STATE EMMIGRATION BUREAU. 



MR. WANTLAND: "Just as a matter of courtesy, as I favored a 

 motion a little while ago concerning advertising and asked to have it 

 referred back in order that it might be amended, I would like to sub- 

 mit this amendment: 



"RESOLVED, That the Dry Farming Congress favors the creation- 

 of State Immigration Bureaus by the Western States in order that 

 official information may be furnished to intending homeseekers." 



GqV. BROOKS, (presiding) : "The Chairman holds that you are 

 out of order. That resolution has passed." 



MR. WANTLAND: "I present this now as an independent resolu- 

 tion." 



GOV.. BROOKS (presiding) : "Notice was given that all resolu- 

 tions must be in by twelve o'clock today, and unless the committee 

 approved them they cannot be presented now."
