Convention of Interest

Fort Collins, Nov. 16.-An agri-
cultural congress will be held here
January and I, 1910, for the pur-
pose OF considering the development
of the farming industry of Colorado.
The gathering is called by the state
board of agriculture, and its object
is to bring about cooperation between
that body and the farmers of Colo
RADIO. This lody has hitherto been
little more than a board of regents
for the agricultural school, and the
decision to call this congress marks
decided enlargement of its activi-
ties. 1t will be the means of uniting
the now scattered forces for the de-
velopment of the agricultural indus
try Following is the call for the
congress, which was issued tonight
by President A A. Edwards of the
state board of agriculture:
THE development of the agricul-
tural resources during the past few
years has demonstrated that this IN
dustry is already the most important
in the state and that the future vel
fare of this section must largely de
pend upon intelligent effort of those
engaged in the various branches oI
agriculture 1t is the desire OF the
state board of agriculture to BRING
about concerted and united effor,
in the solution of the many problems

held in the city of Fort Collins or
