RESOLUTIONS OF
GRAIN GROWERS

The following resolutions were
adopted by the Tri- State Grain Grow
ers today:
Whereas, 1t is common knowledge
that the system Of agriculture in vogue
in the United States does not meet the
requirements of the times, and is not
calculated to build up permanent
agriculture, restore and maintain the
fertility Of the SOIL which is the ma
tons greatest asset; and
Whereas, The states and the federal
government have expended large sums
IN accommodating vast funds of knowl-
edge that should be applied in practice
upon our farms and that experience
shows that the most direct and ef-
fectiye way OF doing so is by the rnsth-
od OF extension work known as field
demonstration; and
Whereas, The National Soil Fertility
League and the executive committee 81
the American colleges of agriculture
and experiment stations have prepared
bill looking to the cooperation 81
the federal government and the several
states to make increased appropria-
tons to the agricultural colleges tc
enable them to undertake and carry

WHAT WORST WANTS
FOR A MONUMENT

In accepting the presidency OF
the Tri- State Corn Growers asso-
citation again this afternoon, Pres
ident Worst said that he regarded
the office as one of the highest
honors that could be given him.
Al monument that would mean
more to him than the costliest
and most beautiful work in granite
or marble would be two long rows
of trees extending across the state
OF North Dakota, the noted agri-
culturalist declared.
Then he related the story Of
the twenty two boys of the A. G..
who enlisted in the Spanish
American war and before leaving
| home planted twenty two trees at
their beloved college. TThese
trees" President Worst said, have
thrived and today stand as a grand
| reminder OF the day when, amid
tears Of mothers and fathers and
cheers of patriotic Fargoans, the
A. c. boys marched away to meet
! their country's, foe
| President Worst declared that
the next ten years will see far
| greater strides made in agriculture
| than have been made in a similar
length of time in the past.

the last day of the great four days
convention. The house was well filled
both upstairs and down, which showed
the great interest the farmers have
taken in the meetings and the in
structive papers that have been heard
this year.
ct is indeed something unusual" :"
said President Worst, '.to see such a
large audience on the closing dsy of
four day convention, and we are all
nightly pleased with the attendance
as it proves that the programme Is OF
such interest and benefit that everyone
has concluded to remain over and not
lose a single paper. =
The big programme went off this
! morning according to schedule begin
ming with an instructive talk on Fix
ing Land Values, e. s. Delaney
Of Valley City. Mr.. Delaney spoke
for As minutes and in that time told
some very excellent things as to how
to increase the land values Of North
4 Dakota. Mr.. Delaney is in the seed
business at Valley city and is well
acquainted with the conditions of
North Dakota and in this section Of
the state in particular
He said there was nothing that
tended toward fixing the land values
/ quicker than the planting Of trees. An
other method was the Improvement of
rural schools and that every locality
| in the state should have better
schools. This was one. Of his chief
Il points.
A third point he made was in regard

BURKE AS
CANDIDATE
VIII Use Every Method to Get
Burke Nominated
Many Clever Speeches Made
Last Night
Walsh, Jones, Burke and
Others Made Addresses

Gov. John Burke of North Dakota
was endorsed by the fIickertar demo-
Gratis for president Of the United
States last night at meeting at old
Stones hall in a set of resolutions that
was drawn ana presented by the reso-
lutions committee. The resolutions
stipulate that all honorable means
shall be exerted to secure the presi-
Dental nomination at the Baltimore
convention for Governor Burke, and IL
1T is found that it is impossible to land
the place for the North Dakota exc
cutive, the delegates are instructed to
vote for candidate who will repre-
sent the progressive policies OF Will
liam Jennings Bryan.
The resolutions of last night also
express the demand that all candi-
dates for national committeeman and
delegates to the national convention
shall announce themselves publicly in
written statement that will embody
principles on which they expect to be
elected to be filed with the chairman
of the state committee not later than
Feb. is, 1912.
The session last night at old Stones
hall was in large measure a continu-
alton of the great banquet that was
held yesterday afternoon at Prizes
hall, as some of the speakers who were
to have been on the programme at
the latter place were not called upon
until after 3 O'clock last night The
meeting last evening was presided over
by Rep. S. ]. Doyle OF Darlington. who
called on Senator Purcell to speak on
the Abolition of the Commerce. Court.
It was understood early in the even
| ing that there were some jarring
| spirits among the democrats in regard
| to the resolutions that were to be
brought in and fight was anticipated.
In the hotel lobbies 1t was rumored
that there would be contest among
the Wilson and anti Wilson, Burke and
anti Burke and Harmon and anti -Har-
mon forces. But when the resolutions
| came all was serene. There will be
three delegates from each congression-
