The meeting was called to order by Presi dent George L. Flanders, who delivered his annual address. He said In part: "The granaries of tho world are being filled until today we are confronted with, the fact that In the United State five and two-thirds millions of farms arc pro ducing one and one-half billion dollars' worth of agricultural products, a sum said to be much In excess of the total Income of the farmers at any other time in their history In this country. Thjs year wc are raising In the United Statta as much corn as was raised In the world last year. "The education that has been going on In the Interest of the agriculturist during the last SO years has produced wonderful results, but all, or nearly so, are upon one side of this two-sided question, viz., upon the side of production, without touching the question of distribution or the question of the relation of the agri culturist to the government or govern ments under which he lives, and by vlr tuo of which he is protected. We are living in an ago of combinations an age when corporations and corporate Inter ests unite for purposes which to them seem w!oe and Just; an age when the la bor clement Is organized for purposes which to it seems just and right; an age in which capita), generally speaking, Is organized and combined for reasons which to It seem Just and right, so that when any problem arises, from the question of distribution to the question of legislation, they are prepared at short notice to eay what action should be taken and then act as a unit "What Js true of them Is not true of the agricultural population, and yet that pop ulation la 10-23ths of the entire number engaged In the Industrial pursuits of this country. The scope of our education's work should now bo such that It will ex tend to thlEKclass of our population. The theories and fundamental principles of constitutional law should be taught along side the fundamental principles underly ing the production of agricultural prod ucts. Those principles are stable, under going few changes. Every agricultural citizen should understand that the Gov ernment, of the United States under which ho Uvea 13 a government of derived pow ers, that It ha3 no powers except those that have been conferred upon It. and that the conferring was done by the sovereign 3tates of the Union and that the matter conferred Is enumerated In that document known as the Constitution of the United States, and that when he desires the Na tional Government to do anything In his Interest, he must first know whether the power to do that thing has been given that Government In that Instrument. If the power has been conferred, then It Is plausible and feasible to petition the Con gress of the United States to do tho thing desired. "I believe that no better work can now be taken up along educational lines in ad dition to the work already being done than to put the agricultural population of this country in possession of such knowl edge relative to the Government and Its workings as will qualify or equip each and everyone to at any time step Into the leg islative halls of any state In the Union or the Congress of the United States and speak with intelligence ,upoa the ques tions that will be placed before them.."
