; The Farmers , Congress., 1 called by
President W. JI. Wehrung of the State

attention, and,, allpart of tlie state
are making preparations for the gath
ering, .widen w ill W bettT attended

ment is -made 'y the state press: on 4 he
value of uch a congress, and fhere is

is' to beJ organ 1h1 iwrmauently. The
ga tlieritls i to lie held January 8th.
. Thert Is liMle doubt in the minds
of industrial workers that the congress
will be iterinaiieutly organized, and
itrovo a ixtwerful factor in cementing
together tlio different Industries of the
state. The -temporary officers are lo-

coinrress has already lH?en. fnllv ont
linetl in the Telegram. Rriefly. it may
lie stated, the purpose is to place farm
ins utfon the widest ossi1iCo svpe, by
bringing tojrether all tlie diiTerenr inea
so, -tliat -coiniiarisons can 1e made as
well 'as an exchange of exiierienees.
LTlie stock raiser, the horticulturist, the
imtfrniiunst. ti,, dairyman, etc., all
have interests in common which can
lMKt--la 'nerved.. by a general organixd
tion. Each has his separate organiza
tion, but can profit nmeho more by
comoarins notes with his neighbors.
"The saving of exense ami time is
another advantage clahiKd in favor of
the farmers congress. '.-Under the
nreseru svstem each sLtte industrial
oruauization lioId! its meeting separ
ately. Tlie wool growers for instance,
meet at, one time, ajid the: live-stock
nun. or s the fruit meti,'etc meet at
another time. ; Furthermore, these
lneetinsrs are s-:itterel all oven tlie
state, A good many of the industrial
woTfcrs biltong: to all of the different
organizations, and nearly all of the 10
lo more than one. In onh-r 4o attend
the meeting of each onler, therefore.
fihe memliers have to trot all over the
state, paying carfare ami losing valu
able time. The farmers congress pro
mises to hold all of these meetings at
one tin-, and in the same place. The
money thus saved the separate organi
zations vrill 1m spent in preparing a
better program from which all may
lienent. Nor will any separate organi
zation lose It individuality by being
merged; with the others. Each organi
zation will lse given a special day to
itself, and after all have got through
tliore will Ik a general program, con
taining the 1est part of the work f
tach one. r Knelt niemlsT having at
tended hese. various meetings will be
in lKisltion to .take a much broader
view of things pertaining to bis work
and the work of others. .
-It Is Intended that all this shall re
sult In more up-to-date and progressive
method: ;that wience and not blind
iheorv .sluvll guide workers. , and that,
faruilntr shall le raised to the dignity
of something more than that of mere
