Report and Resolutions Submitted by the Committee on Public Highways of the National Orange, at Its Annual Meeting, November 12-21, 1907, and Unanimously Adopted. Your Committee on Public Highways has had under consideration, not only the broad question involved in the improvement' of the public highways, but it has given special attention to the plans of the Executive and Legislative Committee to make the Grange campaign, in favor of Federal aid, effective. That plan is approved by the Committee and the large amount of work already accomplished, in preparation of a vigorous campaign in support of the Grange plan, is in the highest degree commendable and reflects great credit on our Executive and Legislative Committee, who have perfected arrangements to bring to the support of the Grange Campaign, to secure the enactment of the necessary legislation by Congress, the aid of the large industrial, commercial and manufacturing interests of the country. In addtion to this, arrangements are perfected to prosecute the campaign vigorously among the farmers in all unorganized sections of the country and through farm organizations not affiliated with the Grange. The plans are so perfect and comprehensive that a vigorous prosecution of the campaign all along the line is assured, and one that we may feel confident will bring early success. Your Committee, therefore, unanimously approve the recommendations of the Worthy Master and the Executive Committee. The resolutions referred to this Committee are in harmony with the plan and are hereby approved and incorporated in the following—which, if approved, will become the platform, as it were, on which the Grange campaign will be fought: Whereas, The improvement of the highways of the country is a matter of general public concern, and should properly receive the attention and as sistance of the National Government, and ,. Whereas, The revenue by taxes paid by the people of the country as a whole should be devoted as faj as possible to purposes which will benefit the greater number of the taxpayers in all sections of the country, and Whereas, No argument can be advanced in favor of the annual appropriations by Congress on behalf of river and harbor improvements that does not apply even more strongly to the improvement of our public roads; therefore, Resolved, That the National Grange favors a general policy of good roads construction by the various municipalities, counties and States, and Resolved, That we favor the imme- PMNWftf SEED Sugar Loaf and King's Improved Cotton, the earliest and most prolific varieties, yielding one to three bales per acre.

At the State Corn and Wheat Show, held 3d and 4th December last in Baltimore, Excelsior won first prize in every class for white corn and won the beautiful Bolgiano Cup as sweepstakes prize for the best corn, any color, in the show. The net winnings of my grains at the above show was $135, which was paid in gold. This corn has never failed to take first prize at all fairs and corn exhibits wherever shown.

Arrangements are made for giving these resolutions wide circulation in the press and in circular form. We therefore ask your unanimous endorsement. Fraternally submitted, COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC • Oliver HIGHWAYS, Wilson, Chairman. Extract from the Address Delivered by Ex-Governor Bachelder, Master of the National Grange, at the Annual Convention of That Body, November 12-21, 1907. Federal Aid to Improvement of Public Highways. At the last annual meeting, you endorsed the recommendation made in my address that the Grange inaugurate a campaign of education, having for its object the enactment of legislation by Congress providing for a Federal appropriation of $50,000,000, to be divided into five annual appropriatons of $10,000,000 each, to be expended for the improvement of the public highways. These recommendations not only received your endorsement, but you instructed your Legislative Committee to take the necessary steps to inaugurate such a campaign. Since the last meeting, your Executive and Legislative Committe have given close attention to the work of preparing for this campaign, and we are confident that the time has now arrived when the movement should be prosecuted vigorously, with the view of securing the necessary legislation at the present session of Congress, if possible. This, your Legislative Committee, has made every preparation to do, and I recommend that you take such action before you adjourn as will show that it has the united support of the order in this important matter. The demands of the Grange are both reasonable and just, and we may expect prompt action on the part of Congress if members of the order generally impress their Senators and Representatives with the fact that they are in earnest. The roads of the United States have too long been a reproach and byword among the nations. The Grange is determined that this must be ended, and we should not cease in our efforts until the Federal, State and Municipal Governments are co-operating in the work of making the American roads the finest in the world. We invite the co-operation and support of every farmers' organization In the South in this campaign for Federal aid in making good roads. Good roads will help more farmers than will be helped by improving the navigable rivers and harbors for which so much 110 VARIETIES r;«|STRAWBERRIES] VlK/V " y°u want Strawberry Plants , ,/,.#,. i the best, strongest, most vigorous and most prolino that can be frown In a good, favored strawberry climate, I am selling? that kind at reasonable prices.
