know, although I have been a farmer all my life—one of the low, 
clocl-hopping kind—but I have come up to Madison, and now I can 
see just where I have missed it, where I have lost a good deal of money, 
and I am satisfied that address should be in the hands of every 
farmer in Wisconsin. 
President Stilson. The state issues 5000 copies of this address 
printed in the annual report, and where the next volume is published 
you will be able to get copies. Gentlemen of the convention, I 
have one single word in regard to the address, that if it had been 
possible for the President to have written it since the discussion in 
the room below this afternoon, where one of the professors was 
handled somewhat roughly, I should have thought, perhaps, that he 
had applied it particularly to that case; but as it was written some 
time before, I think he has fully" squared off with us. 
Adjourned until 9 A. M., Thursday.

On motion of Secretary Field, it was ordered that no member of 
the convention be allowed to speak more than five minutes on any 
subject, and not more than once without permission of the conven¬ 
tion. 
THE NEED OF ORGANIZATION AMONG PRODUCERS. 
BY HON. M. K. YOUNG, GLEN HAVEN. 
This paper, allow me to say at the outset, is intended as sugges¬ 
tive of thought, rather than the record of opinion. 
In speaking of the need of organization among producers, I would 
be understood to allude only to the producers of material values. 
The producers of intellectual values, whether in literature, the 
professions, or science, being surrounded with the critical observa¬ 
tion and scrutiny, of minds alike engaged, are mutually aided by 
each others failures, as well as triumphs, and with them, organiza¬ 
tion for high achievement, or mutual welfare is not an absolute 
necessity; still they organize, to aggregate their wisdom to be 
drawn upon for further individual or general effort.
