III Whereas, the County of Marshall, is
one Of theslargast counties in the state
in area, and also contains. larger
percentages Of arabic, and highly pro-
duetive lana, than any other county
in the state, there being scarcely an
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
association, and all 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-
ton, by this association, of pam
phlet, descriptive of the county, and
fairly and euuitably representative of
every part of the county; the same to
be for free distribution to prospective
homeseekers
Be 1t Further Resolved, that we en-
dorse the idea of permanent exhibit
of Marshall County agricultural pro-
ducts in the city OF Minneapolis, as
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 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-
vertising 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 potent factor
in bringing new settlers, and develop
ing the newer parts of the county
that we heartily commend the vari-
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
will be material help in the develop
ment Of the newer parts Of the coun-
ty, and that we favor more liberal
appropriation by the legislature and
an enlargement of the scope Of the
boards work.
Be It Further Resolved, that this
association heartily approves the Good
Roads movement now under way in
this county and that we endorse the
one mill tax for good roads.
| Be It Further Resolved, that we ap
prove of the consolidation of rural
schools, and that we urge it's adoption
in Marshall county.
+. Be It Further Resolved, that where
as this association has at various
! times expressed itself as being in ia
vor of reapportionment, and We fully
realizing that in order to have the
proper development in Northern Min
nesota it is absolutely necessary that
fair, Just and equal representation
be given us in both the senate and
the house;
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, that this
association use every effort possible
to influence the legislature in passing
such a reapportionment bill, and thai
we are in favor of calling an extra
session of the present legislature t.
consider such a measure.
Be It Further Resolved, that the
unanimous thanks of this convention
be extended to the citizens of Ste
phen, and the Stephen Commercial
Club for the hospitable and courteou:
treatment accorded the delegates t.
this convention.
