l. Howe, after the commercial club
meeting adjourned. eve are going to
do what we can, in q moderate way, TO

Former Gov. e. Y. sarles. n J.
Weiser and r r. Kingman OF TraflI
county had an informal conference at
the Radisson after the meeting. Mr..
Sarles said that the movement is going
forward rapidly In North Dakota and
that 1t will undoubtedly be the great
est agricultural Improvement plan that
has ever been developed in this part of
the United States. North Dakota ap-
preciates the cooperation Of Minnea-
polls. St. Paul and Duluth, and 1t will
be a great help said MFR. Sarles. 1T
is the purpose to divorce the plan alb
solutely from politics, and to arrange
1t so that the North Dakota ARricul-
turai college shall be prominent, but
shall not dominate. that the depart
ment OF agriculture shall participate,
but shall not dominate, and that all in
terests shall work together for the
cOmmongood."
Mr.. Weiser said that as yet the plans
have not reached the detailed stage
but that. when the first regular meet
ing Of the directors takes place In
Fargo, which will probably be next
week, the Minneapolis gathering be-
Ing preliminary, more definite plans
will be announced.
Efficient Men Needed.
my idea ID that the frst thinge we
want to do is 70 set the best man that
ne can find In the United States" Mr..
Weiser said. "of course the directors
will decide what we shall do, but 1t is
the general opinion that we ought TO
gtart this great plan for results, and
we can set them and get them soon.
When the next agricultural year opens
we will be ready. and agriculture in
North Dakota will receive such inn
pttus as 1t never had before. With
demonstration farms right at the
doors we will be able 10 &C
compIish what we want"
