Mr.. Hanna, in addition to winding up

mas been Swing careful consideration
to the legislation he will urge upon
the state. legislature, which meets AT

T'eforc he left Washington Govern
or.elect Hanna had outlined these rec.
concentrations and policies. which, II
they are followed out, wiz result In
the marked advancement OF North
Dakota, both as an agricultural and a
manufacturing state.
Manufactures Can Be Developed.
north Dakota Is essentially an az
ricultural state" said Mr.. Hanna, but
] believe that manufactures can DC
developed there, and the products
now wasted can be utilized so that the
wealth of the stae a be greatly IN
creased.
Take one product--faX straw-as
an instance. For years the farmers
have thrown this straw away or burn
ed it as q useless %byproduct OF fax
and faxseed. The aggregate destruc'
tim of this product is 100000 tons.
The federal government a made
some tests in the manufacture OF pa
per from this straw, which ! believe
will result in the discovery OF a CHEAP
process for the utilization OF this pro
duct for this purpose. Professor Dol
lev of the state agricultural college
estimates that the straw which is now
burnt will be worth $40 per ton for
paper making, and want the day
FASTENED when this waste product
will be turned into paper. With that
end in view | shall ask the legislature
to make an appropriation for cooper
alive work In Investigating and expcr'
imenting in the manufacture of paper
from fax straw.
State Business Agent Needed.
II want North Dakota to develop
along commercial lines, with a view
TO pointing out to manufacturers and
other commercial interests in other
states the possibilities of our state, ]
shall ask the legislature to create the
office OF business agent for North Ia
kota. / would have this officer pait
a good salary, In order that we may
be able to get a good man for the
place. 1t would be his duty to go t
other states and show the maaufac
turers the possibilities OF North Da
kota in their line. For instance
among the natural resources 0, thu
state are the finest kinds OF pottery
