acre of waste land in the county;
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, that the
vast agricultural resources, and pos
sibilities of the county, demand that
special effort be made through this
asso ciation, and ali other practical
agencies to advertise the resources,
and advantages of this county, with a
view Of securing permanent settlers,
and that we recommend the publica-

fairly and equitably representative Of
every part of the county: the same to
be for free distribution to prospective
homeseekers.

dorse the idea of a permanent exhibit
of Marshall County agricultural pro-

contemplated by the Immigration
Commission of the Northern Minneso-
ia Development Association, and that
we pledge our financial support to
such an undertaking.
Be It Further Resolved, that we en-
dorse, and encourage more intensive,
and scientific farming, and that we
encourage our farmers to take a more
active interest in exhibiting their pro-
ducts at the different land shows, and
the state and county fairs, such as
has been done by Mr.. A. D. Vansickle
realizing that such efforts are the
best and most effective methods Of ad-
yertising the resources, and produc-
tiveness of our County.
Be It Further Resolved, that where
as, the drainage Of the overlooked
lands is proving to be a potent factor
in bringing new settlers, and develop
| ing the newer parts of the county

GUS drainage projects now under way
in this and the adjoining counties. and
pledge our support to the State Drain
age Board. and the Judicial and
county authorities in these and other
drainage movements; that we endorse
! the appointment of the state Reclama-
ton Board, believing that the expert
mental work that the board is doing
i will be material help in the develop
ment of the newer parss of the coun-
4 ty, and that we favor more liberal
appropriation by the legislature and
an enlargement of the scope of the
boards work.

association heartily approves the Good
Roads movement now under way in

vor of reapportionment, and we fully
realizing that in order to have the
proper development in Northern Min
nesota it is absolutely necessary that
a fair, Just and equal representation
be given us in both the senate and
the house;
j Therefore, Be It Resolved, that this
association use every effort possible
to influence the legislature in passing
such reapportionment bill, and that
