Flax Campaign, Pure Seed and Sire Program Will Be Ex- panded This Year Fargo, Jan. 8—Determination to add greater momentum during 1930 to the progress already made in over- coming North Dakota's excess rented + land problem was the keynote of the quarterly meeting of the board of di- vectors of the Greater North Dakota association here Tuesday. There is to be no particular change in the; series of farm development campaigns | being sponsored by the association, the directors decided, but greater re- sources will permit expansion of the orgahization’s work to speed up land by local tenants, continu- ation of the association’s advertising campaign in older states for new | settlers, and more intensive effort to bring about better management of rented land owned by non-residents. , _ Reports submitted by F. A. Irish, Fargo, treasurer of the association, ; revealed resources during 1929 of | 1928, The association concluded the year in strong financial condition, Mr. Irish reported. Land Problem Reviewed ‘The board received a report on the recent land owners conference held by the association at which more than 2,000,000 acres of North Dakota farm lands were represented. In connec- tion with its decision to add greater momentum to progress already made in overcoming the state's excess rented land problem, the board an- nounced definite work to be under- taken as follows: Holding meetings of tenant farm- ers in every county in the state where Jand sales are below a normal volume, these meetings to bring to tenants the ~ $108,012 as compared with $101,099 in| UTRNANT FARMERS | reasons why the association urges | them to buy land now and to permit | a discussion of the new land sales | contract recommended by the asso-/ ciation to owners and purchas¢ 2 Greater N.

Another .section of the law per- mits the registrar to authorize the operation of cars without the current years’ licenses for a period to be des- ignated by him. Still another section fixes May 15 as the date by which licensed the previous year must have new licenses. Appli- cations for the licensing of old cars, received after that time, carry a pen- alty of 10 cents a day for the first 15 days and $2 a month or fraction of a month thereafter. Most persons think they have until the penalty date to make application foranew license,the registrar said,but this is not the fact, since the law 1e- quires that all vehicles have licenses upon January 1 and gives the regis- trar discretion in extending the time. Seek Out-State Violators Although the bureau has no date upon which application for license must be received if the motorist is to escape the possibility of prosecution for failure to have a current year’s license, the bureau has notified reg- istrars of other states that North Da- kota cars operating outside the state must have 1930 licenses by February 15. Virtually all of them have ac- knowledged that notification and have in turn notified sheriffs and police officials that North Dakota cars car- rying old licenses are not complying with this state’s law. ‘The bureau plans to appoint special agents who will take to the road as soon as uninterrupted travel is as- sured., One of their duties will be to enforce the law regarding applica- tions for licenses and the time in which such applications shall be made. Cramped to Get Them Out On the other hand, the bureau faces a problem of its own. As or- ganized at present, the office can is- sue approximately 1,500 licenses a day or 39,000 a month. Special machines are needed to make proper records and the addition of machines and help to handle a rush-season business doesn’t strike him as sound economy. | Besides the office is cramped for room in the present quraters with the ma- chines and help already quattered there.
