VOL. XXIV. INDIANAPOLIS, IND., DEO. 14,1889. NO. 50 STATE AOEICDLTTJSAL IHBTITUTES. The following circular has been issued by the secretary of the State Board of Agriculture: General Information regarding the State agricultural and [industrial associations. The gradual inorease in attendance on these educational meetings, nnder the auspices of tho Board of Agriculture, and interest manifested, proves the great Dane-it arising therefrom. The lecture hall is the choice room in the new State-house. It b on the first and main floor, No. 12; side entrance, No. 13, During the past season the rooms have at times filled to overflowing. Here one meets with the successful men in their specialties, and an old rule says, "Always consult and advise with successful men." We doubt if any farmer, young or old, with ambition to keep pace with the enterprising portion of the community, oan read these programs without feeling it a duty to attend some of the meetings, and if he does not "catch on" to some new ideas he may be able to impart knowledge to others. The published proceedings in the annnal reports of the Board of Agrioulture are claimed to be the most useful literature of the kind to the agricultural community, and almost indispensable to the proper and thorough prosecution of the manifold labors connected with the business of farming. ''These circular programs are issued by the Board of Agriculture, each association named as branches of the Board receiving a portion Ior their use, thus mutually assisting to advertise the meetings. Ejoh association will have the use of the lecture room of the State Board the afternoon and evening of dates named, and forenoon of the seoond day. BAILBOAD RATES. To secure reduced rates, delegates mnst pay full fare coming and take a receipt for same from ticket agent. All railroad tioket agents are furnished with blank receipts or certificates for this purpose, whioh ars known as "Central Traffic Association Certificates." However, should any tioket agent be without these certificates, the applicant should take a receipt for full amount of fare, naming the station where ticket is purohased and the road or roads over whioh delegates will come. All who seoure suoh certificates and have them endorsed by the seoretary of such meeting, can get a return ticket at one cent per mile, making one and one-third fare for the round trip.

At the meetings of the several state organizations among farmers held in St. Louis last week, the following outline of union was agre%d upon among all present. It was also agreed that the farmers should appoint a legislative committee of two to act in conjunction with the legislative oommittee of Knights at Washington to seoure legislation in accordance with the views of both bodies. A oommon platform was agreed upon on land, money and transportation reform, and an understanding was arrived at by whioh eaoh organization will actively assist the other in every way possible. The executive officers of the two organiz .tions will form a central oounoil to consult from time to time upon all matters of j lint interest. The various farmers' bodies have agreed upon a plan of consolidation which will, as soon as the ncosssary references oan be had to the various State organizations, result in brining about an absolute union in one body. It is probable that ln time the Knights will also join the farmers in actual union. In the meantime the leaders of both bodies are entirely satisfied with the practical federation nowconsum mated • ■The National Farmers' Alliance has adopted a long series of resolutions favoring woman suffrage; favoring the reservation of publio land for aotual settlers, and against the acquisition of lands in the States and Territories by aliens; forthe rigid enforcement of the law against railroad corporations that were not complying with their contracts as to the disposition of lands; calling for the free coinage of gold and silver, and an amendment to the law whioh permitted loans to banks on bonded security of money at one per cent while the farmer waa obliged to pay eight and 10 per cent; favoring the payment of the public debt as rapidly as possible; opposing bonds as the basis for loans, and reiterating tho argument against theNa- ional banking system and in favor of the greenback dootrine. Taxes on real estate mortgages and a graded income tax were demanded.

The liquor trofflo was opposed in all its forms. The Hennepin canal proj sot was indorsed, as was also that of a deep harbor on tha gulf coast. Another resolution was pissed recommending Congress to take some aotion to compel the Union Pacifio and Central Pacifio railroads to pay their debts, and obj acting to any further extension of time. The Australian system of voting was enthusiastically indorsed. The resolution on the tariff was as follows: That we favor suoh revision and reduotion of the tariff that the taxes may rest as lightly as possible upon productive labor, and that its burdens may be imposed upon the luxuries and removed from the necessities of life, and in a manner which will prevent continued accumulation of the United States Treasury surplus. The foregoing resolutions were then capped by one declaring that the members of the convention would support no candidate who did not subscribe to the principles enumerated therein.
