The Colorado State Commercial
association abandoning the customary
whoop and hurrah business that has
heretofore marked the conventions
of that body came down to the
most practical meeting in the history
of the organization in Greeley the
past two days Practical topics of
vital interest to the state have been
discussed by men fitted through long
and many years of servi"e in their
respective lines of business. The re-
suit will be a policy of conservative
and honest pushing and developing
of the resources of the state, the
bringing in of more capital, more
labor and more farmers and business
men, and the establishing Of bet

better acquainted with Greeley and
its people and favorably impressed
with the high state of development
of the country hereabout and with
warm praises Of the beauty and
prosperity Of the city.
Quite as beneficial as the actual
program of the convention was the
informal gatherings of groups of men
from different parts OF the state to
discuss privately what was being
done, what had been done and what
it was hoped to do to better condi-
tions in their respective localities.
In an agricultural way, compare

Greeley district, could not be avoided
by the delegates and in this respect
Greeley was all to the good.

of the regular program, opened the
ewes of many to the advantages of
the Greeley district as a Is. money
maker and will doubtless result In
much good.
The other entertainment features
of the meeting we're also we'll looked
after. Cartoonist Finch of Denver
gave his entertainment Tuesday
afternoon and in the evening a band
concert and open air meeting in the
Greeley park was well enjoyed. The
Greeley business men were strenuous
in their efforts to show the visitors
the best time possible. Last even
ing the day was wound up with an
informal reception and a ball in
Elks' hall.
The first business meeting of the
convention was held in Elks' hall

PROPOSED NEW
STATE ROAD TAX
rlANY IMPORTANT CHANGES ARE
RECOMMENDED.
State Highway Commission Would
Have Road Taxes Paid i'm Cash
and Would Raise State Road
Tax-Every County Should be
Compelled to Keep Its Roads in
Good Order.

The next legislature may be asked
to revolutionize the good roads move
ment in Minnesota during the next
two years.
First, to abolish the Office of county
surveyor and provides for the ap-
pointment by the county board of
commissioner of highways under
salary to be fixed by the board, whose
duties shall be to provide plans and
specifications for and superintend the
expenditure of all the county road
and bridge funds and to supervise,
also, the work of town commissioners
of highways.
Second, to abolish the Office of road
overseer and provide for the appoint
ment by the town board of one town
commissioner of highways, under a
salary to be fixed by the board, whose
duties shall be to supervise the ex-
penditure of all town road and bridge
funds, under the instruction of the
county commissioner of highways.
Third, to abolish the statute labor
tax and pay all road taxes in cash.
Other changes proposed are, that
the state highway commission have
full power to construct and repair and
that the commission shall not be OBJ
liged to pay even the minimum
amount of $500 under the present law
to counties that refuse to keep their
roads in good repair.
If the bill increasing the good roads
apportionment from $4,000 to $780,
600 is passed, the minimum amount
allowed each county would be about
81 200, and if the sum is not to be ex-
pended on improving country roads,
the highway commissioners feel that
it should not be apportioned. The
commission also holds that the pres
ent laws of Minnesota are against the
construction of good roads and that it
should be compulsory for each county
to keep it's roads in good repair.
Another recommendation was that
the state aid for good roads work be
increased to one mill, which would
bring the total apportionment to
$500, 900. The commissions further
wish is the privilege of fixing the
salaries of its employees and do not
consider that the legislature can rate
the ability of men who have yet to
appear.
The salary paid the present state
engineer is considered far from ade-
quate.

GRAIN GROWING CONTEST
It's Importance at Agricultural Society
Meeting.

i 4 81 * f ~ e Il 1 < s f. L f. i Il
The annual meeting of the Mime
sofa State Agricultural Society was
held in the court house in Minneapolis
on the 9th, eth and 10th of this month.
At this meeting were exhibited all
the samples of grain grown by the
school children of Minnesota to COM
pete for the prize.
The grain and milling interests of
Minneapolis as represented by the
Minneapolis chamber of commerce
offered prizes aggregating $4,000 to be
distributed over period of three
years, al 900 each year.
The contestants were to grow the
grain themselves, care for it, harvest
it, then exhibit at the county fair.
The winners at the county fair then
exhibit at the annual meeting of the
state agricultural society, held each
January.
There were about 20 exhibits of corn
alone. Some of the cora was of the
best and all of it was worthy of notice.
The entrees were chiefly of yellow
dent.
Aside from this there were num-
Der of entries in the wheat classes.
Among the latter the writer noticed
that there were two entries Of Stew
ems county girl-Miss Barbara Sauter.
Miss Sauter carried off both first and
second premiums at our county fair
and was competitor for the prizes at
this meeting.
The first prize amounting to 5000
went to boy from Hutchinson.
But what we want to lay special en-
phasis on is this: We want more Ste
vens county young people to compete
for this prize next year. With the
soil we have in this county and with
an ordinary year there is no reason
why some of our boys and girls should
not have these prizes Or some of them.
1t is time to begin preparing for
this contest now. Make all your
plans. Find out first from your father
what plot of ground you can have.
Then select your seed, test it, of
course as there is no use in trying to
do anything unless the seed is good.
In testing make sure that not only a
goodly percentage of seeds sprout, but
that they give strong, vigorous shoots
that can develop into healthy plants.
This is probably enough for the time
being, but we shall have more to say
in the matter after little. We do
hope that more of your young people
will follow Miss Sauter's lead and we
also wish that the teachers in our ru-
raj schools would do more to get their
pupils interested in this contest.
