and that the business had probably been con-
Quoted with as little expense as possible, con-
sidering the large increase in the business over
the year 1887, and the fact that the newness of
the association made some extra expense uu-
avoidahle for the purpose OF extending the
business and securing the active interest Of the
farmers. The assessment Of 2S cents an acre
to cover the Losses and expenses of 1885 was
made much larger than it would have been
but for the great damage done the wheat crop
in Northern Dakota, which made it evident
that good many in that section Of the terri
tory would be unable to pay their notes when
due. The cash receipts from assessments,
membership fees, etc, was $lo7.0 .052 e6, which
paid all Losses aud left $2495 still to be paid
on expenses. OF the notes of 1855, there still
remain unpaid (mostly in North Dakota) the
sum Of $Sl. 56e.70, which will. undoubtedly,
be mostly paid in the fall Of 1859. The money
received from this source will be returned the
coming fall to those who have paid the excess
either in cash or by rebate on assessments
This disposition OF the money will meet with
the hearty approval Of all interested. The old
officers were reelected for the ensuing GEAR,
