0 CONSERVATION ASSOCIATIONS BEING ORGANIZED IN STATE Volunteor Groups Will Aid in Promoting Control Pro- grams, Ryan Says Formation of volunteer soll conser- vation associations is being advocat- ed by the state planning board to Promote control programs whereby resident farmers would place them- selves in position to cooperate with the federal conservation department. Included among the purposes for which such associations are suggest- ed, M. O. Ryan, secretary of the board ssid, are to acquire and disseminate facts and information concerning the character of soll erosion by wind and water, to bring about widespread adoption of proven erosion control and prevention practices; and, when necessary, to solicit federal and state assistance in erosion projects. Ryan urged local and county plan- ning boards to take the initiative in forming county conservation associa- tions. He sald McIntosh county ts the first to create such a county-wide volunteer agency, with H. D. Jonas as president, and G. A. Bietz, acting secretary. County mass meetings of farmers and land owners are tentatively set, Ryen said, as follows: Rolette coun- ty at Rolla, Nov. 18, chairman, John Stormon; Bottineau, Nov. 19, O, B. Benson; Renville county at Mohall, Noy. 20, 8. A. Sorenson; Burke coun- ty. at Bowbells, Nov. 21, H. F, Mage- danz; and Ward county, Kenmare, Noy. 22, Richard. Costello. All meet= ings will be called at 7:30 p. m., with} officers of county planning boards in charge in most instances. J. G. Hutton, soil specialist, region al soil conservation service, Huron, 8, D., has been invited to address the meetings. One major soil conservation project, involving $200,000, is already under- way in Walsh county, under the di- rection of A. D. McKinnon. Other areas are being re’ mended for like tregtment, Ryan said. Wife Shoots Husband And Commits Suicide Canton, 8. D.

D., Mon- day pleaded with the state pardon board for release of his son, Andrew, 26, who is serving a five to 20 year sentence at the state reformatory on @ robbery charge. The father told the board that af- ter continued prayer he received an answer which instructed him to come before the pardon board. He said he had not asked for len- fency for his son immediately after commitment in December, 1934, be- cause the “message” he received in- dicated that his son deserved some punishment. He declared that the maximum was too high and that the boy should be released and given an opportunity to support his wife and year old baby girl. The wife, with the baby in her arms, also pleaded with the pardon board for her husband’s release. Clouston was committed from Hen- nepin county for the robbery of a fill- ing station. Records before the par- don board state that he admitted nine other robberies, He was married after his arrest. The case was taken under advisement. 'K. C. Head to Attend Muench Installation ©. H.

THE sib nn este ee eaeEsa he Associated Press is today the only exclusively in America. newspaper press association A general definition of one that sells news to adver- tisers, bankers, brokers, sovernmént offices, as well as newspapers is “news agency”. Europe has such news agencies. They were created to serve at profit others than newspapers. Later they served news- papers too. In America the reverse is now true. Certain press services operated here for years exclusively for newspapers as The Associated Press still does. Thus they were properly termed “press associations” Having started services directly or indirectly to ad- vertisers, United States government offices, radio stations, etc., those others are now properly defined as news agencies. The change is regretted. There is something senti- mental to an A.P. man about the “smell of printers’ ink”. There is a glow out of collecting and writing news for whatever use newspapers make of it.. It would bring a strange feeling even in this changing world if the A.P. man’s duty was to try, among other things, to obtain and deliver a good news story that would satisfy a United States government office client or an advertising client in the same way he wants his news reports to satisfy A.P. newspapers. The A.P. man may be wrong about this but he would have a strange feeling in undertaking it. The president of The Associated Press, Mr. Noyes, in a message to the recent meeting of managing edi- tors of Associated Press newspapers said: “I invite you to note that a privately owned news gathering organization has, directly or indirectly, ac- cepted as one customer a very large industrial corpo- ration from which it will (through a broadcasting ar- rangement) be in receipt of large sums of money. “I ask you to consider the peril that would confront you if The Associated Press was in relations to larger financial interests of any kind—banking, public utility, oil companies or any other large interests—that ih- volved the receipt by your organization of large sums of money and made it (possibly unjustly) in the view of the general public subservient to these interests.” There are those who have always believed, and still believe, that The Associated Press, with its co- operative form of organization, controlled alone by the newspapers in its membership and financed alone by them, is the greatest bulwark of a free press that exists in America today. If the newspapers in its mem- bership ever would fail in their support of it or if it now suffers to the point of injury by the competition of news agencies heavily financed by the patronage of United States government offices, advertisers and others than newspapers, it would be a sorry day not alone for the future of the newspapers but for all the people of this country. The employes of The Associated Press serve but one interest—the newspaper, and through its mem- ber newspapers they serve the public interest. The only news service in America operated solely te serve newspapers.
