The following officers were named: | H. P. Shumway, Wakefleld, president; Neil Brennan, O'Nelll, vice president; N. L. Maloney, Essex, Ia, director. The names of these officers were submitted by J. S. Thomas of Lexington, chairman of the com- mittee on nominations, and the report ot the committee was adopted by the unani- mous vote of the convention, At the suggestion of the conference com- | mittee the assoctation decided to employ a secretary, who shall be paid an annual | salary to be agreed upon by the board of directors and shall devote all his time to organizing county and district assoclations for the purpose of bringing implement deal- ers Into more harmonious relations.

The conferemce committee favored the employment of a secretary who shall devote all his time to the affairs of the assoclation, and urged that such an officer could effect an organization which would make it poesible for the assoclation to bring about many reforms It Is seeking. It was suggested that the salary of such an officer be pald by increasing the annual dues of members from $3 tu 5. When these recommendations were brought before the conventlon in open ses- slon many members showed thelr approval of the plan by showering the secretary and treasurer with money. The report of the conference committes was enthusi- astically recelved and was adopted with- out_opposition. The, treasurer's report shows that there 1s a balance of $18.34 {n the treasury.

Now the implement dealers could not handle their accounts with the manufac- turers this way unless the farmers were being equally prompt or more so with them.

However, 1 look for small sales in my line this year, because of the fact that the farmers have mow gone in so beavily for wheat. It is a fact that in many South Platte counties, such as Clay, Adams, Phelps and Fillmore, 75 per cent of the acreage 18 in wheat now, so there canflot be much corn. Of course, if the wheat were unexpectedly killed off it will not then be too late to put in corn, but that is im- probable. “This is not true of the North Platte dis- trict, however.
