GOVERNMENT EXPERIMENT STATIONS. 



"WHEREAS, The need of information of the farmer in the arid 

 region is essential and necessary, therefore, be it resolved that we urge 

 the Federal Government to establish at least twenty experimental and 

 demonstration farms, in each of the so-called arid and semi-arid states, 

 the purposes of which will be to develop and introduce varieties of 

 grain best adapted to each locality and to demonstrate methods of 

 cultivation, improving and caring for the same." 



Adopted by unanimous vote. 



COUNTY EXPERIMENT STATIONS. 



WHEREAS, After the State and Federal Governments and fore- 

 runners in the dry farming movement have worked out the principles 

 of dry farming in a general way, the practicability thereof, must be dem- 

 onstrated to the farmers in their respective communities, before they 

 will be adopted in general practice, and, 



"WHEREAS, Such demonstrations can best be made, by some capa- 

 ble, enterprising farmer in each county, and, 



"WHEREAS, The farmer best qualified to perform the task is 

 often unable to bear so great an expense, therefore, be it 



"RESOLVED, That the individual members of this Congress be 

 urged to use their utmost efforts to obtain such legislation in their 

 respective states as will enable the Board of County Commissioners of 

 each county to make appropriations from the funds thereof, to assist 

 in the work of demonstrating the practicability of dry farming in their 

 midst."
