Third Days Session.
There was a mixture of marketing
grain and horticulture at the third
days session of the Tri-State Grain
and Stock Growers convention. The
horticulturalists had the program this
afternoon and succeeded in putting
up, one of the best sessions of the
convention. A discussion of straw
berry culture by Thomas Heath Of
Fargo led to the calculation of lot
of information about what has be-
come a rather important industry in
this state. Great profits were indi.
Gated under proper management.
Celery culture, discussed by L. c..
Johnson, aroused lot Of argument
because of the interest shown in the
crop for the last few years. A. J..
Phillips of West Salem. Wis, spoke
on pioneer horticulture and Prof.
Robertson of Crookston, Mimi, en-
horticulture and the home.
The address of Prof. G. B. Waldron
of the agricultural college OF forestry
and the farmer, brought out some sta
tistics and an Endorsement of the re.
cent statement of President Hill of
the Great Northern that with the
present consumption of timber there
would be none left within fifteen
years. The professor outlined plan
of work to be carried on at the col.
lege in cooperation with the depart.
ment at Washington, by which TWEEN
ty acres is to be planted in the spring.
Attention was also called to the
bounty offered by the stats for tree
cultivation.
During the forenoon session consid.
Grafton of methods of marketing grain
resulted in several fiery addresses and
lively discussions. Speeches were
made by o. G.. Major of Hope, presi,
dent Mcdonald and Secretary Blair
of the Minnesota exchange, and At.
torney Murray of Hope. Denunciary
language was used in reference to the
old line of elevators and the boards of
trade of Minneapolis and Duluth.
Plans were outlined to secure ter.
minal elevators and seats on the
grain exchange.
1t is claimed that it took IS per
cent of the value of crops of the
farmers of this state to pay the com.
missions and freights before the grain
reached terminal houses. Great ill.,
terest was aroused, and many farmers
pledged 500 each to assist in secur.
ing better markets.
Last Days Session.
The tri-state grain and stock grow.
ers' convention was concluded here
tonight after it's most successful an.
nual session. To-night's session was
attended by crowded house. Fol.
lowing concert by the agricultural
college band Prof. G. B. Mcdowell OF
the agricultural college spoke on agri.
cultural education, outlining the diff.
Guilty in securing txet books for agri.
cultural studies and also in securing
teachers for the common schools with
the training to impart the informa
ton.
Prof H. l.. Bolley of the college dis.
cussed the principles involved in con.
trolling plant diseases.
A letter written by President J. J.
Hill of the Great Northern railroad
was read in the convention to-day.

HILLS OFFER OF FUNDS.
It Grows to Enormous Proportions a.
the Story Is Repeated.

the Story Is Repeated.
President James J. Hill of the
Great Northern is being given credit
for making a big offer of money to aid
in draining the Red River valley, and
while his offer was appreciated by
those in charge of the convention, II
was not nearly as large as the stories
now being circulated would indicate.
During his speech here on drainage
he spoke of topographic survey of
the Red River valley, and he and
others estimated that such a survey
would cost in the neighborhood of
100000. He announced that he would
pay one-tnird the cost of the survey.
The scope Of the offer has grown
many times since it left here, and nu.
merous reports nave been published
that President Hill had offered to pay
one-third the cost of draining the Red
River valley. AS this drainage would
cost in the neighborhood of million
dollars, the offer on the face of It
is big one, but Mr.. Hill only offered
to pay one-third of the cost of a sur.
vey land that was regarded as very
liberal. However, four of the valley
counties, including Grand Forks and
Cass, have recently been surveyed.
and Engineer John T. Stewart of the
agricultural department is engaged in
making Topographic surveys of the
several counties. This would lessen
the cost of survey of the entire val.
leyp but az Mr.. Hill did not kroy, +h;a.,
his offer stands as a very liberal one.
bu thas nothing to do with the drain.
age work in the valley.
