Many Burleigh county farmers were Guests of the club'at the meeting, Dr. Coulter is a practical an well ® theoretical farmer, ‘having heen Taised on a farm and now jing sev- eral large farms, and he ‘how the scientific principles of farming were epplied in the farming orerations conducted at the college. The coll farms, he said, bring in from $78, to $78,000 annually in erops raised. heir evel ing lege farms is Sold. Continuing his talk on agricultural conditions of today, Dr. Coulter told ‘suffered vaised on the col- how the wheat farmer his first real setback during the war, when the price level was not consist- ent with that of other enterprises, and said that agricultore not been on an equal basis with other in- dustries since that time. He attrib- uted this .to the fact that the farm- ers are not organized to look after their own: bi as are the rail- roads, labor, sake Mast Cont: “Those farmers in areas producin; surplus crops suffered first and suf- fered most,” said Dr. Coulter. “So long as any section of the country is producing crops which are consumed at home, the growers will get the bencfit of a domestic market, but if e cine crop is being produced, then the growers must either contro! that surplus or else have the same @tandard of living as the ducers in foreign countries with whom they mast compete in disposing of surplus. In many areas farmers sre not suffering and have no complefnts. in. creased, land values are increasing, and all the nation is not at war so far as agriculture is eoncerned. Con- sequently all states are not going to join in our struggle in determining ow to dispose of our surplus st a profit. The dissatisfaction is most generally found in the north central, Oy the cattle and small grain produc- ing states, “Any nation will make a great er- ror if it permits any lange area to have such difficulties without making ‘gn attempt to solve its problems,” \baid Dr. Coulter, citing Great Brit- pero' agriculture must be able tain. as high a standard of ving: bt other lines of endeavor,” the said. “It behooves any nation or stute’to have an eye out when there ‘are periods of difficult problems to solve... It is not enough for a si to'‘provide scientific knowledge to the farmer, but it must have state: rmenwho will see the defects in agri- cultural life and aid in a solution of its problems. “The nation should assist its peo- ple to organize in a systematic man- ner, so that they can dispose of their surplus products in other cpuntries in an orderly fashion,” he sdid. Dr. Coulter suggested that this be accomplished by, reducing the production of wheat, which is now an export crop, and increasing the production of woo! and flax, which are import crops. Larger production of butter afid alfalfa in this state were also mentioned. County Agent Needed 1s closing on ee te aris Coulter a e le of Burleigh county to ‘seeure tho secdida of a@com| nt jcultural agent, commonly known ‘county agent,” as soom as pos- sible. “I would like to see the pro- gressive farmers and business men of the gounty take vigorous steps to- watdes securing snd supporting such @ man,” Dr. Coulter said. “The peo- pe ‘vf this county can be tremendous- ly more prosperous than at the pres- ent time, and I would like to see Bur- leigh county come to the front. To do so it should provide an expert in agriculture to live among the farm- ers and to advise and counsel with them regarding their crops, livestock, and other farm problem: Dr. iter closéd by saying that “A nation cannot long survive, great ‘as it may be, which fails to provide of the scientific, hnical and nomic assistance necessary to its basic industry, so that its people may prosper.” Following the eel bg and preced- ig Dr. Coulter’s address, Geo. Due- meland discussed the news of the day, J.P. Jackson “viewed with +{/alarm” the fact that Bismarck does not provide a market for all kinds of grains, T. R. Atkinson gave a brief talk on- Washington, and H. J. Due- meland played a couple of saw solos, Group singing was enjoyed between the courses, and the G. P. orchestra furnished music during the meal. Nomination Made on Second Ballot (Continued from page one) don such Socialistic program, take our state out of business and return to a program of sound and sane prog- ress and development. __ The question’ is one which vitally affects every citizen of North Dakota regardless of party affiliation or ference. Partisanship has no place today in state politics. Our oppon- ents are not affected nor controlled by party consideration. They mar- shal their forces whether Democrats, Republicans, Socialists, Farm-Labor- ites, or Communists in the Republi- can party primaries in support of.

Colors, Gun metal, Rose taupe, Blush, Grain, Blond, and French te | his standin, their candidates placed on the Re- Publican ballot. The nature of the great issue con- fronting us in‘ this state campaign and the manner in which the opposi- tion conducts its campai gives complete warrant and j ication for the declaration that every voter in this state who is,opposed to a continuation of this Socialistic pro- m regardiess of his belief or af- fitiation in national politics, should participate in the Republican primar- jes and support our ticket which will eReer A seg the Republican primary ‘ballot. By adopting such coyrse, no person, whether participating ‘as voter or candidate, will affect or endanger as a party adherent, but will make ‘his vote really effective at the time when it is most needed. If all the forces opposed to Radicalism can be united behind our candidates appearing upon the Republican ballot at the primary on June 30th, success is assured, Be Jt Further Resolved The state should not be in business, it never should have gone into busi- ness, but it did so to the extent of millions of dollars and the taxpayers are now footing the dill. Every en- terprise the offspring of the Non- partisan dengue has led to the logs of money of the taxpayers und people of the state. The mill and elevator, «| the bank of North Dakota, the home builders’. association, the consumers’ stores, the publishers’ bureau, the Werner state creamery, the Drake mill, and other enterprises have all been losing ventures. ‘They were all given a fair and just trial and have roved to be failures, and all have een abandoned by their advocates except the Bank of North Dakota and the mill and elevator. Tt has ‘been ven since 1919 that the Bank of North Dakota has not served, will not serve, and cannot serve any useful purpose, except as it_may function as a rural credits bank. Functioning as it now does, it will continue to be, as it has in the past, a constant expense to the tax- Payers of the state. We therefore, declare for such changes in the con- stitution and statutes as will require it to abandon its other activities and function only in the useful field of rural credits. The mill and elevator has contin- uously lost money since it was stai ed. It will continue’ to lose money long as it is operated as a state insti- tution. No one can point to a single result that shows that this institution has been of any value or benefit to the producer or cansumer, The present governor was elected two years by upon his promise to make the mill and clevator pay. The management of the institution was turned over to ‘him, and he was given all the money ‘he asked for, but he has failed to make it pay and on the contrary, the operating losses during the past year have been $188,000, or over five hund dollars per busi- ness day. He now declares, as a can- didate for re-election, that it does not make any difference whether it pays or not, but that it will be a bene- fit and an advantage to the people without regard to the question of profit, but fails to point out wherein the benefits will be realized. It thas already lost in the aggregate $856,000, id there are outstanding $4,500,000 in interest bearing bonds which must be paid. The time has come to cal a halt on this wasting of the taxpay- ers’ money. We, therefore, pledge ourselves and our candidates to the Policy of discontinuing the operation of the mill and elevator by the state ag soon as feasible; and to a policy of placing its future operation un- der other management upon the best biege. “ | terms possible consistent with redac- ing the state’s losses to a minimum, and increasing the Leer igen of the institution serving a useful purpose. Be It Further Resolved, We be- lieve that the prosperity - the great northwest would be greatly increased by the establishment of the proposed St. Lawrence Deep Waterway, an that this great agricultural section is of right enttiled to the establishment thereof; and we condemn as selfish and unpatriotic the.efforts of certain arts of the east to smother the pro- ject for the furtherance of their sec- tional interests, Be It Further Resolved, We com. mend the congress of the Unfted States for its $300,000,000 reduction in the 1926 national taxes, and we pledge our candidates for ‘state and legisla ffices to @ rigidly econ- inistration of the affairs government to the end that the gi burden of taxation now borne by our people shall be sub- stantially reduced, Be It Farther Resolved, ‘That we recommend the amendment of ‘the immigration law in such manner. as and children of citizens of the United States irrespective of quota. Be It Further Besolved, We pro- test against any increase in freight rates upon agricultural products, and assert thet the Interstate Commerce Commission and other rate making bodies should frown upon alt appli- cations tending to increase the rates upon such products. : {Toa} a eee (Continued from page one) wedding might not be gloomy. Pro- hibitionists say he changed the water into grape juice, with tess than one half of one per cent alcohol. That may be, but the Bible doesn’t say so. Passing the terrible fact that ‘he drank beer, and the undemocratic fact that ihe stood at receptions with his hands behind his back, to avoid shaking hands with his dear fellow Americans, what is the greatest thing in Washington's character? It was unbreakable, persistent cour- age, the greatest thing in any cha er except philosophical or inven- tive genius. Washington was great and he won, because he would not be discouraged. Defeated time after time, retresting and retreating, abandoned by many of his brave Americans, Washington went on. * He was made of iron, the majority of men are made of mush. To ask, “Are you interested in this universe in which your solar system is an atom?” seems a strange ques- tion, almost like asking a cosmopoli- tan whether anything interests him except his own little front yard in South Brooklyn. But among the sixteen hundred million ‘human heings on the earth, more than fifteen hundred millions are decidedly not interested in the universe, and at least fourteen hun- dred and fifty millions do not know that there is any such thing as a universe. : They think this earth is all, with heaven above, hell below, the shn, moon and stars, created to light us on our way, or help astrologers to tell our fortunes. | "98 If the universe does interest you, with its millions of suns and planets .
