the ground that they were obtained

Address BY Gov. Eberhart.
Archbishop Ireland in calling the
congress to order delivered an address
of welcome in which he spoke of the
resources of Minnesota. The first
address in the afternoon was de-
livered by Gov. Eberhart, president
OF the congress, who spoke on Con
servation and Agricultural Develop
ment in Minnesota" In his address
the governor followed the lines of his
proclamation in which he called the
congress to assemble. He spoke of
the era of new and complex develop
ment which has opened in the state
and declared the soil and climate of
Minnesota second to none. He said
there exist within the borders of the
state, great opportunities for the de-
velopment of farms, mines, forests,
waterpowers, reclamation of swamp
lands and construction of country
roads, as we'll as the necessity for
more railroads. Gov. Eberhart sug-
gested the incorporation in the
courses of the rural schools of the ele-
ments of practical and scientific ag-
1icultural education. He said the nee
essary instruction in practical domes-
tic science should be provided for the
girls from Minnesota's farm homes.
The address of Secretary Ballinger
was on the program to follow that of
Gov. Eberhart and then Prof. Albert
