It is a deplor- able fact that some of the counties within the territorial limitg of this asgociation, and among them some which have received the greatest benefits from the things accomplish- ed by this association, are not now and for some time have not contrib- uted a dollar towards its support. There are instances where this is partially due to narrowmindedness on the part of certain county com- missioners, but in such counties there ought to be sufficient enterprise in the farmers and business men to raise by subscription the amount of money the county is expected to con- tribute. In two or three instances this has been done, but in too many of the counties apparently no effort has been made to raise the money for the support of this association. This is not fair nor just to the coun- ties which always do contribute and something must be done to remedy the situation. The officers and ex- spent and no development associa- tion can hope to accomplish much un- les it has the financial support of the people who are either directly or in- directly benefitted by the work which it performs.” The entire morning session of the association was taken up by reports by Secretary George D. McCarthy of Duluth, Senator P. H. McGarry as chairman of the Amendment No. 1 campaign committee and Otto I Bergh, superintendent of the North Central Experiment station at Grand Rapids, as chairman of the agricul- tural committee. The resolutions by the agricul- tural committee are asi follows: Potate Growing Contest. Be it resolved, that we commend the action of the executive commit- tee of the Northern Minnesota De- velopment .association for its sup- port of the boys’ and girls’ potato growing contest, and respectively suggest that its support be con- tinued. Potato Standardization and Potato Inspection. Be it resolved by this association that the standardization of the type and variety of the potato as outlined by the Minnesota Potato Growers’ association and the Minnesota Crop Improvement association be recom- mended for adoption by all potato growers of Minnesota. This associa- tion further recommends that a sys- tem of state potato inspection be es- tablished. Federa! Market Repnorts. Be it resolved, that we recommend the action of the Federal government through its department of agricul- ture in the issuing of fair and un- biased market reports on potatoes and fruits, and earnestly recommend that such reportsi be made to include all périshable farm products as rap- idly as possible. County Agent Work. Be it resolved, that we realize the value of the work already accom- plished by the state agricultural ex- tension division and the county agri- cultural agents and recommend that the coming legislature increase ap- their county agent work. Peat and Swamp Lands. Be it resolved, that in view of the fact that large sums of money have been spent and are being spent for the reclamation of peat and swamp lands, and the state is further being urged to drain its own swamp lands, we recommend that a liberal fund be appropriated .by the next legislature to be used for investigation and dem- onstration purposes, to show what thousands of acres already reclaimed can be made to produce. Drainage Law. Be it resolved, that the present state drainage laws providing for ju- dicial ditches constructed through the issuing of county bonds is too lax in its present form, and should be amended so as to make the és- tablishment of such ditches possible only where warranted. Federal Dams for Power. Be it resolved, that in view of the fact that the Federal government has established dams under the direction of the war department for controlling THE ¢ U]i REPORTEF propriations for this work, and auth-)§ orize larger appropriations by coun- \ ties desiring to enlarge the scope of | § be passed which provides that taxes on lands should not be increased by virtue of it being cleared and put under cultivation, for the following reasons: . First—The clearing of land by the siattler increases the value of the ad- joining lands owned by the state and by non-résident freeholders. Second—To increase the tax on account of such improvements is vir- tully a fine placed upon industry. Third—The state legislature of 1913 has already established pro- ceedings by passing a law pertain- ing to tree planting in the prairie sections, whereby the state is to pay a bounty of $2.50 per acre for six successive years to any person who shall plant one or more acres of for- est trees of any kind, other than black locust, when such planting be properly cared for. South Dakota provides a county bounty for tree planting. Nebraska provides both in her constitution and in her statutes that in the assessment of lands, which have been planted with fruit or forest trees, such trees may not be taken into consideration in mak- ing assessment of the land. We hold that such provisions would be equal- 1y just when applied to clearing land in our stump land region. Amendment Discussed. Amendment No. 1 was discussed at length. + A plan submitted by Senator McGarry provided for a com- mission to have charge of the amend- ment. Five acres should be cleared on each quarter section and after the first year’s crop the siettler would pay one-fourth of the cost with four per cent interest. It is estimated that it will cost $250 to clear five acres. The plan also encourages community interest by securing homesteaders to do the clearing in a certain commu- nity. Fred D. Sherman, state immigra- tion commissioner, M. N. Koll of Casg Lake and John Doran of Two Harbors took part in the amendment discussion. This afternoon’s session was given over to good roads. Senator Bald- win of Frazee discussed convict la- bor on roads. E. O. Hathaway of the office of public roads at Wash- ington, disicussed the Shackleford- Bankhead bill for appropriating fed- eral funds for aid in building high- ways. At the session Friday it will be decided if the association is to con- tinue and if so, officers will be elected for the ensuing year. Brainerd citizens, headed by Fred Lincoln, secretary of the Brainerd Commercial club, are present to se- cure the next winter meeting for that city. 3 An entertainment will be given by the Bemidji Commercial club for the delegates tonight. The delegates will be entertained at the Grand theater at 7:30 o'clock, and at nine o’clock a program has been prepared for an elnt‘:artainment at the Commercial club. LT Advertis- ing a Sale! OU don’t leave your rig in the middle of the road and go to a fence- post to read a sale bill do you? Then don't expect the other fel- low to do it. Putan ad in this paper.then, regardless of the weather, the fellow you want to reachreads yourannounce- ments while seated at his fireside. If he is a pradpective buyer you'll have himat yoursale. One extra buyer often pays the entire expense of the ad, and it’s a poor ad that ‘won't pull that buyer. An ad in this paper reaches the people you are after. Bills may be a necessity, but thead is the thing that does the business. Don't think of having specisl sale without using flood waters at the head of rivers in this' state, we recommend that the thousands of horsepower now going to waste over these dams be utilized to furnish light and power for rural communities and municipalities. Loan Associations. Be it resolved, that this association recommend and encourage the for- mation of local farm loan associa- tions, under the Federal farm loan act. Dynamite at Cost.
