The nmendment also provided for an Investigation of the contuct of the Warehouse and Grain Depurtment of the Bonrd at Chlengo, amd to report the re- sulb of sueh Investhzation. Marrls, of Hardin, repenting the old objece ton to o travellng investigating committee, and the nbsence of any Specific clinrges against the Commissioners, muved to:table the whole matter.

IN THE OPENING LECTUMNE Prof, Morrow gave u general stutement cf the development of the agriculture of the State, showing Its steady increaso till, at the present time, 1linvis produces one-fifth of all the corn, one-eighth of the wheat, and one-tenth of the hay grown in the Unlted States, In the rapid develovwent of axri- cullure In the West by the vearly settlement of mew lands, tho centre- line of corn and wheat production has already passed to the west of Iinols, aud, so far as these produets are concerned,. Jlinois fs now an Enstern State, Modern civiliza- tion and Improved modes of trunsportation have abolished distances, and the farm- products of 1ilinols are now the food-sup- plies of the world, for which there 1s now nn tetive demand, which, n few years since, did notexist, In the lnst ten years. we. added ten millions to our population, and doubled our agricultural products. AT THE PRESENT RATE OF INCREASE the question of » market Is a serious one, but the census shows that 25 per ceut of our pov- wlation are living in towns of over 10,600 In- habitants. Added to this s the fuimense in- crense In manufactories, railronds, pnd min- ing, calling for the services ot nud giving support to a lnrgo non-agricultural vopula- tlow. The aggregution of people In lurge cltles creates n demand for the best qualhy of cverything, Includlug farm products. lence the 1lnols farmer shomkd seek to turn oft the products of his farm In “MANUFACTURED GOODS,"! it such n term Is admissible, Instead of tho Taw material, converting his grain and lay into pork, beef, mutton, wool, dairy prod- ucts, poultry, ete., alming always to vroduee the best quality, In order that ho mny com- mand tho highest price. The hard thme though causing suffering and loss to di- viduals, has been n beneht fo the State. Where farmers have lost their farms on mortguges, they have been succeeded bymen of more menns, and In better condition o farm successfully; and the samoe is true ot corporations, 'The property hus not been lost to the State. 1t has only changed hands, 1lerctofore the farmer has de- ponded upon the rise in tho valuy of his fand ns one source of his profits, From this time he wiil have todepend mainly upon the products of his farm alone for his profits, and, I¥ OUDER TO SLCCEED, nust farn by better methods than he hos been doing. ¢'he coming farmer, In arder to succeed, must bo better educuted than the present generation. ‘I'he common-school eduention of te-dny was a libernl education u generation ngo, and the next generation will be s much fn advance of the present, Onu thing which tho fariners of 1llinols shouhd make a special bustness is the ralsing of supe- rlor stock for breeding purposes, tosupply the demand in tho newer States, ‘Che thne 15 at fiand when farming will bomore respeetable, and the land-owner will stamd higher in the soctnl senle than ko by In the wast, FLand ownership will confor respectabllity, ns tn England, Tho growth and development in the past has been wonderful, amd In uo country aro the people living In suelt com- fort, 08 well housed, fed, and clothed ns In this country, I'rof.
