discussion followed and then Maj Anderson of Florence read a paper on smut rust and insects in wheat giving the results of his experience in attempting to protect the crop from damage from such sources A valuable and interesting paper on grain inspection was nest read by Mr 'John McCann The paper was contributed by John Williams grain inspector at Nashville and fully ex plained the system by which he grades or classifies the wheat Damon and John McCann were appointed a committee to semi greetings to the wheat convention now in session at Philadelphia The following resolutions were adopted: Whereas the holding of the Centennial Exposition in this city during the autumn of 1896 makes Nashville the most appropriate city in which to hold all kinds of conventions and Whereas at the meeting of the Farmers' National Congress to be held in the city of Atlanta on Oct 10 1891 a place will be selected for the meeting of said body in 1898 therefore' be it Resolved that a committee of five be appointed to draft a formal invitation to the Farmers' National Congress to hold its 1896 meeting iN Nashville Resolved that said committee be requested to be present at the said meeting at Atlanta and present the Invitation in person to emphasize the advantages offered by Nashville as a place of meeting and to urge the congress to acDept the invitation In accordance the following committee was appointed: It Rankin Jasper John Morton Nashville James -Aydelott Tullahoma John McCann Nashville John Trice Henderson Maj Thomas President of the Nashville Chattanooga St Louis hallway then addresssed the meeting on "The railroads as a factor in wheat culture" Maj Thomas said appreciate most highly the invitation of Commissioner Allison to be with you to-clay and give my views as to railroads being a factor in wheat culture Too frequently railroad ntricials are considered exclusive and unapproachable but I like to be thought of as from the people of the people and for the people and am pleased that the invitation of Commissioner Allison implies that we are co-laborers together engaged in developing the resources and enhancing the prOsperity of our common country A few years ago in passing over the road on a business trip in our official rar I stopped at a station where a man and It boy were loading tan bark The boy said: "Dad what kind of a car is that?" and the man replied: "That's the kind of a car men ride in that don't do any work" Little did he appreciate the responsibility and anxiety of filling a position which requires $5000 a day to pay wages and $5000 a day to pay interest and taxes and that we are de pendent upon the farmers the merchants and the manufactdrers for the business from which to secure this large amount Of revenue A friend who recently returned from Europe advises me that a few days ago in walking along the streets of Liver rool he saw a bot with a sack on his shoulder d1tcl it was branded "Nashville Tenn" When a sack of 'lions manufactured in Nashville a city Vit) miles from the coast and 4000 miles from Liverpool can compete with flour made in other countries it shows con clusively that transportation facilities ate an important factor in wheat cub tuns Prior to the (lays of railroads in this State wheitt tiaj was a luxury enoyed by the massts only once or twice a yeekt and the man who when a boy has not ri111)1 on

the output for the part year has been 44- 93 tons The question of building brunches to these mines has been con- sidered and various surveys made "In October last the company Purchased all the stock

available distant markets Wnd open up new territory adapted to the production 'of wheat In 1850 there wertronly 6021 miles of railroad in the United States and the Wheat crop was 100485944 bushels In 1860 there were 80626 miles of railroad and the wheat crop was 173104- 924 bushels an inoreame in railroad mileage of 21605 miles and an increaxe In the wheat crop of 72618084 bushels In 1870 we had 62622 miles of railroad and a yield of 287745572 bushels of wheat an Increase of 22296 miles of railroad and 114640648 bushels of wheat I In 1880 there was 93296 miles of railroad and the wheat crop was 459483137 bushels an increase of 40374 miles of railroad and an increase of 171737565 bushels of wheat In 1891 there was 170795 miles of railroad and a wheat crop of 611780000 bushels an inereame of 77499 miles of railroad and 152296863 bushels of wheat During this period' 1850 to 1891' the railroad mileage increased 1600 per cent the production of wheat 500 -Der cent and population increased 170 per cent In other words atimulated by increased transportation facilities the wheat crop increased more than twice as rapidly as increase in population In 1850 the wheat crop was four and one-third bushels-per capita while in 1881 it was nine and a half bushels In Tennessee during this same period the population increased 76 per cent while the wheat crop increased 412 per cent and during the same period the entire railroad system of the State 2800 miles leas constricted and has been an important factor in reducing the cost of transportation and rendering distant markets available Products whose value is small in proportion to their weight cannot be transported long distances by wagon Wheat worth 60 cents per bushel in a market 150 miles distant cannot be delivered by wagon except at a cost equal to the value of the wheat while even at local rates by railroads the farmer would net 50 cents per bushel Restricted markets diminish the price to the producer and increase the cost to the consumer Railroads equalize prices by rendering available markets for the surplus products of one section and supplying the demand in other sections and hence are a benefit to both the pro ducer and the consumer While railroads have been an important factor in wheat culture in this as well as other countries there are other causes which added to the industry and energy of our farmers has increased our wheat crop from 100000- 000 to 600000000 bushels per annum The first great stimulus given to the production of wheat and increase of railway mileage in the United States was the repeEd of the corn laws of England under the administration of Sir Robert Peel By the repeal of these laws the farmers of England suffered the greatest reverses Previous to that time agriculture had increased immensely by the policy of foreign exclusion of grain and domestic encouragement Millions were levested in the cultivation of grain and these investments were exceedingly profitable The quantlty of grain produced under this fostering system raised England almost to a state of independence of foreign supplies but after the repeal of the corn laws the Inundation of foreign wheat reduced the price from $278 a bushel in June 1847 to 1156 per bushel in September The barriers raised by legislation were torn down and the ItiNVB of supply and demand were permitted to exercise their influence The old' and rich countries can undersell the young and poor (M(14 manufactures bet are undersold by the latter in agricultural porducts The result was agriculture decayed manufactures flourished Ireland was ruined because its great market for wheat was destroyed England from being almost sell-supporting had to import 80000000 bushels of one-fifth of the national consumption Emigration to the United States increased from year to year and in four years Enkland lost 1000000 of her population and Ireland 200000 This condition In England gave a fresh growth to the United States and to this vast exodus is due in part the rapid de-'elopement of the railway system of the United States the cultivation of new lands and the increase in our wheat production the exportation of which now far exceeds the total amount produced hi 1KO Returning to our own State the largest crop of wheat eve harvested was in 1875 when 13130exi bushels were grown on 1Fe14o5 acres The largest yield was in IsIol which has been estimated at from ten to thirteen bushels per acre The greatest money value was the crop if 1872 when 10298000 bushels were valeee at $144172e0 The highest average price received by the farmers in Tennessee was MA pee bushel In PoIS I do not think railroads alone should be credited with the increase of wheat Production in Tenilessee find In the United States but they have been an Important fan or of incaieufable benefit to the farmers to the millers and to the consumers and our Interests are mutual The farmer the miller and the eonsurner should be willing to pay reasonable rates and the railroads g4 hiuuhi expect no more but they should see that the markets of the world arc rendereI to the farmers and ntillers of this State upon at favorable terms LIS front any ether competitive section They should not permit the crop to rot in the fields or the mills to stand idle s) long as home or foreign markets will take the product at anything like reasanable prices The farmers the nillers and the railroads should lie and their interests are mutual the prosperity of the one is the welfare of the others and an injury to on is a loss to the others The recent discovery if large deposits of phosphate rock in Iliokman eounty offers another opportunity for the railroads to be of great Jienetit to the farmers by giving such boV l'ait'S
