The fall convention dates are an
innovation which will prove popular
and likewise is the program, which
this year, for the first time is arranged
as an Institute" or Conference"
which allows of the greatest possible
freedom for the discussion of all

agent. Great Northern RailsUay.

Mr.. Bass formerly lived In North Da-
kota, and as assistant to Territorial
Commissioners OF Emigration Mcclure
and Haggerty, became familiar with the
advantage Of the state, which have been
of such help to him in an emigration
work east which he has handi-
ed in practical and com
mon sense way and which
has resulted in the settlement of thous-
ands Of people Id the state. On being
asked BY The Forum to say something
about the state, he replied as follows
Surprising changes have taken place
in North Dakota since the day / reach
ed Bel6eld, far out beyond the Mis-
souri, id 4 country, where it was said
aat the time. there were mo ten com
nlandments II wasn't quite that bad,

Dakota was my home for a long time,
until T came east to promote IFS set
tlenent, In which work I have been
engaged for over a decade. My early
belief was the common one Of that day,
that agricultural settlement would BE
limited at the best to the eastern half
Of the state but North Dakota is maxi
ing history. She IS correcting some of
the errors and false impressions that
have prevailed concerning her capabiIi-
ties. After seeing fields of wheat away
out in the western part of the state
where only bunch grass grew to- feed
the occasional herds Of cattle, 7 am al
most won over to the optimistic claim
that aridity Is thing Of the past,
hope il is sol Maybe the planting of
trees, the breaking Of tlle sod covering
q soil retentive Of moisture. and fiac
cultivation of crops adapted to small
Ell rainfall than in the Mississippi valley,
has something to do with, Ii. North
Dakota farmers have been learning the
theory of crop rotation and the diversity
and adaptation Of crops. The state ag-
ricultural college, the three experiment
stations and the farmers institutes are
doing d great work. in which they are
ably seconded BY responsible and i7l-

NOTICE TO FAR MERS AND
FARMER ELEVATOR cos.

All farmers and members of farmer
elevator companies are hereby notified
that there will be a meeting held at
Fargo on the eighteenth day Of Jam
t1ary, 1000, at the rooms OF the Com
filercial club, in the evening, the time
being during the Grain Growers con-
vention, for the purpose of trying to
strengthen and encourage farmer ele-5
vator organizations all over the north
west, as / think there should be one
in every town in the grain growing
states. We further wish to see what
can be done toward helping on the
good work Of the Minnesota Farmers
Exchange, in which many Dakota
farmers and elevators are already inter-
ested. 1t is probably generally known
that this is a farmers cooperative
grain and commission corporation, or
ganized under the laws of Minnesota,
engaged in business at Minneapolis
and Duluth for the purpose of handling
farmers products direct on the terfni-
nal markets. The chambers of COM
merce both ait MMinneapolis and Du-
iluth have persistently rejected our ap-;
plicatiorl for membership, and Duluth
has served notice that no member of
the board Of trade there will be even
permitted to- handle grain shipped by
the Exchange. Farmers of the north
west Is it not time to determine
whether we have the right to ship and
handle our own grain2 Are we going
to retreat In the face of this unlawful
and tyrannical conspiracy to crush
this great cooperative company that is
struggling for existence and for our
own welfare and Independence? Now
1 want all farmers organizations and
farmers interested ia shipping thcir
own grain, TO call local meetings be-
fore the meeting at Fargo, and send
delegates with power to act, and see
III we can not help the movement to-
ward handling our own grain in the
terminal markets. The Minnesota
Farmers Exchange IS just as good ain
organization as we can get tip all iii good
running order, and can do ais well by;
us as any other commission house, and
all that we want is the support of the
farmers, who have the power 10 adj
minister the death blow to the siiiis-
ter combinations that endeavor to
harass our efforts. Farmers must
come to Our rescue and stand together,
or we can not carry on the fight against
this monster wheat combine. earn
estly urge large attendance upon this
meeting. Note the time and place.
