TioNs ASK $4,000 FOR
SOIL SURVEY.
CAMPAIGN rs OUTLINED.
One Mill Road Tax Amendment TO
Constitution is Also Urged at
Conference Held at
st. Paul.

st. Paula resolution petitioning
the legislature to appropriate $4,000
for soil survey of the state was
adopted at a conference at TIE st.
Paul Commercial club, attended by
representatives of many of the COM
mercial and development associations
of the state.
Those present regarded soil sur
vey as of the highest Importance to
the agricultural interests of the state,
especially as no considerable data of
this nature is now available The sur
vey, if approved by the legislature, is
proposed to be under the direction of
the University of Minnesota through
the college of agriculture. The work
will involve the surveying of over 65,-
900 sections of land in the approx
mately 1900 townships of the state
At least three years will be required
for the work, it was thought.
Other resolutions were adopted on
matters of statewide interest, among
them one favoring cooperation in the
good roads movement. 1t was decided
to wage an active campaign on behalf
of the one-mill road tax amendment to
the state constitution which is to be
voted upon next November
Another resolution recommended
that the state investment board dis
pose of the Virginia and other outside
bonds held by the state, in order to
have more money available for loans
to counties and school districts which
now pay what they regard as unneces-
sarily high interest on loans.
