ture and domestic science and econo
my in all country schools, and that
our teachers be required to qualify
themselves to teach these things and
to lecture the pupils upon the advan
tages and opportunities of country
life.
“Seventh—That we re-affirm our
position as unalterably opposed to the
immigration into this State and the
United States of undesirables, and
we do insist upon the Mississippi del
egation in Congress taking some act
ive and apparent steps toward a-cur
tailment of the million or more im
migrants into our country yearly.
“Eighth—That we heartily com
mend the State Fair as a great edu
cational institution, and believe that
greater things will yet be done by
it; we favor State aid. The sum to
be whatever, in the judgement of our
legislators, would best advance the
agricultural, horticultural and live
stock interests of our great State. The
gambling features of the midway we
heartily condemn and believe they de
tract from the interest and demoral
ize the people.
rhlrteenth—whereas, Section 43
of the Constitution of the Mississippi
Division of the Farmers’ Educational
and Co-operative Union of America
provides thut the officers of this
Union, local, count or State, shall
not bo permitted to accept a political
otlice, county. State or National, it is
tlie sense of this convention and the
Farmers’ Union in Mississippi, that
it is a violation of the spirit of this
section of our Constitution for any
person to become a candidate for any
political oilice while holding any of
llcial position in the Farmers’ Union,
local, county, State or National.
The discussion of committee re
ports was continued on the third day.
The introduction of an dnsurance
feature into the Union, which was re
commended by President Hightower
was the most important action taken.
