#001 The Worlds Congress Auxiliary Scrapbook, p. 0733
Investigation and Experimentation in Agriculture; the Applications of
Science; the work of Governmental and Private Experiment Stations,
etc.
Agricultural Education, in Public and in Special Agricultural Schools and
Colleges, and by means of Books and Periodicals, Societies, Conven-
tions and Exhibitions.
Agricultural Organizations, including the Work and Methods of Increasing
the Efficiency of National, State and District Associations in the Interests
of any Branch of Agriculture.
The Home Life and Social Position of the Rural Populations, and the
means whereby Needed Reforms may be Secured.
It is confidently believed these Agricultural Congresses will be of the
highest interest and value. In these times in which--coupled with a notice-
able increase of intelligence; with wonderful inventions for the aid of farmers;
with a marvelous increase in the agricultural products of many countries, and
an equal development of means for distribution of these products--there is a
wide-spread feeling of dissatisfaction and unrest among those engaged in
agriculture, the thoughtful discussion of such topics as have been named, by
leaders in thought and practice from many lands, cannot fail to set in clearer
light the real and the mistaken causes for discontent and its remedy; and to
point out what may most wisely be done to further lighten the labors and
increase the rewards of those who feed the world.
Particular attention is called to the fact that the great Department of
Agriculture as above defined, will be divided into appropriate Divisions,
Chapters and Sections, for the purpose of affording to each important interest
involved, an appropriate opportunity for the consideration and promotion of
the measures which those engaged in it may deem most deserving. Each
subdivision of the Department will, in due time, be intrusted to the charge of
a Special Committee, whose duty it will be to arrange for the Convention or
Congress in which the particular interest involved will be considered.
The active committees in charge of the arrangements for the various
meetings contemplated, must necessarily be composed of persons resident in
Chicago, or near enough to the city to enable them conveniently to attend
Committee Meetings. But to give the Auxiliary the benefit of the advice of
