Mr. President. I do not care to go into the statistics. and I do not propose to do so. as to the condition of certain interests in this country at the present time. I have read statements that the agricultural interests in the State of Vermont were not in a flourishing condition. that there were abandoned farms there. and that people were engaged now in an attempt to introduce immigrants for the purpose of takinu up their abandoned agricultural lands. Speaking for my own section of countryand it is as prosperous as any other agricultural State in the UnionI simply desire to say that within my personal observation the agricultural interests of Missouri are today depressed out of all proportion to the other interests of the country.
