1t should be the duty Of every farmer
to insure with the state. If this were
done the state viii next year be able
to- pay 100 cents on the dollar and In
addition thereto will undoubtedly pro-
vide a sinking fund to be used in the
future, If the Society Of Equity has
not done anything but boost state hail
insurance it's value to the farmers
would be worth many times its cost.
I'm order to market the grain to
the best advantage, farmers should
own and control the marketing ma
chinery. They should have elevators
in local markets and also in the great
terminal markets. In this way they
will be able to reclaim control Of the
grain while 1t passes from the farms
to the mills. You all know what farm
ers' elevators car do in the local mar
ket. 1t is the farmers elevator that
has destroyed the tyranny of the line
houses. 1t is true that sometimes ele-
vators have failed, just as banks, rail-
road companies and other commercial
and industrial institutions nave failed.
The reason of the failure of farmers
elevator companies can usually be at
tributed to, lack OF bookkeeping. Real
izing the necessity of a form in this
line our organization has now provided
a system of uniform bookkeeping,
whereby the books Of the different cor
porations can be kept and audited by
expert accountants. This makes the
business absolutely safe, both TO the

PwROGRESSIVES
MUCH AT ODDS
MEETING HERE TUESDAY WAS
ANYTHING BUT HARMONIOUS
SPLITS CAME ON A NUMBER or
PROPOSITIONS HANLEY AND
auRDlcK CAUSE FRICTION.


Some of those present at the caucus
Of progressives in this city on Tuesday
afternoon and evening report that II
was far from a harmonious gathering.
Among the other topics which brought
about much discussion and made i'll
feeling afterward was that of endors-
ing Senator LaFollette.
The president of the league, Hon. r.
M. Pollock of Fargo. Captain Hanley
of Mandan, the speaker OF the lower
house, together with quite q number OF
other delegates were decidedly opposed
to the endorsement Of the senator as
the presidential candidate of the pro-
gressiye wing of the republican party.
They favored Colonel Roosevelt. or at
least 10 have the delegation SO the
members could be used tor the colonel
if the situation seemed best, but it APP
reared that some of the leaders OF the
~progressiyes had promised the man
ager Of the senator's campaign that he
should have the unqualified support OF
their faction in North Dakota and they
demanded that the conference ratify
the promises which they had. made.

gresstves there was a large and in

huencial element decidedly in favor OF
the nomination OF Colonel Roosevelt,
but they were in the minority and
those who had made the promises svon
out in securing the adoption OF a reso-
luton in favor Of the senator as tbs
standard bearer of the nation.
This contest, however, made some
sore spots and did not alter the iudg-
ment OF those opposed to this course.
Another u of friction was the
endorsement Of Burdick for renomina-
ton as lieutenant governor after Can
tain Hanley had been in reality pledg-
ed to this position and it was claimed
that even Mr.. Burdick had offered him
his hearty support. These were only
few of the incidents which came M
in the conference showing that ali was
not harmony.
There were also some delegates
present who doubted the a~dvisability
OF a conference endorsing any citizen
in Office, although they found them
selves SO much in the minority that
they did NO care to take strenuous
opposition. They felt that the spirit
OF the primary election law was abused
and thwarted by any such action, as

ANDERSON ON
TERMINAL MARKET

President Anderson of the Equity
Cooperative exchange. was the next
speaker heard. His subject was The
Terminal Grain Markets.
Mr.. Anderson depressed a little from
his subject The Terminal Grain Mar
kets, in the beginning, to give a short
review Of what the Society Of Equity
has done for the grain growers of the
ciety was a business organization en-
deavoring to give the farmers the bus
mess training that necessary in their
vocation of farming. He showed. also,
that the society was the first to begin
the dollar wheat campaign which has
done so much towards the mainte-
Inc Of good prices in wheat. He
showed how the organization had
maintained representatives to work be-
fore legislative bodies in behalf Of leg
i~slation for farmers, and that the ini-
tiative and referendum, semi-annual
payment of taxes, unit rule for cor
po%rations, state hail insurance and
terminal elevator laws passed by the
last state legislature were the result
largely of the work Of the society. In
part he said:
State hail insurance is proving a
splendid success. In spite of the lack
of confidence manifest by the farmers
when the measure was first passed,
and throughout the summer months,
the state will this year be able to pay
20 per cent of the total of all policies
issued. This makes state hail insur-
ance 81 per cent better than old line
insurance. To illustrate: Suppose you
have $65 that you want to invest in
hail insurance. An old line company
will give you, for that amount a ST.
900 policy. The state will give you
a $4,000 policy. In case of total loss
the old line company will return to you
$1,000. S~ubtracting therefrom the $65
which the policy has cost you. you will
receive al a net gain by virtue of
having made the investment, 1886. On
a policy issued by the state you will
according to this years settlement
receive in case of a total loss, the sum
of $3.50. ~Subtracting therefrom the
SEQ which the insurance has cost you
your net gain will be SIZES. From the
old line company you received $685.
from the state you received $1,755
The cost of the insurance was the
same. Is there anyone now who will
say that the state insurance is too
cheap, that it is not worth the cost?

WALDRON ON
WINDBREAKS

Prof. c. B. Waldron of the A. @.
was the first speaker of the morning
and spoke on the subject of WING
breaks. His discussion was particu-
larly bright, and when he concluded he
was asked many questions from the
audience.
Prof. C. B. Waldron of the agricul-
tural college was the next speaker and
told some very interesting things about
windbreaks which was hts subject.
Professor Waidron, always an inter-
esting speaker, cited a number Of his
observations during the past year over
the state in order to determine the
difference windbreaks made in the CROP
yield. He gave a number of instances
and showed their good and increase
In the yield in certain instances.
He told how to plant and recon-
mended the bull pine as the only pine
tree native to North Dakota. For the
valley Professor Waldron recommends
the soft maple, white willow, the ma
tive ash and the Russian wild olive.
And for the territory outside the val
ley he recommended all these with the
possible exception of the soft maple.
Mr.. Waldron stated that he had
found bull pine in the southwestern
part Of the state that were seventy feet
tall and two feet in diameter.
C. A.. chinbere.
The second speaker was G. Al Chin
berg of Hankinson, a we'll known nur-
seryman from that city, who has com
plete charge of the horticultural booth
at the corn show. Mr.. Chinberg's re-
marks were purely impromptu, as he
had but a few moments notice Of the
fact that he had been requested TO
speak.
His subject was Care of Trees Be
fore and After Planting. He brought
with him to the theatre a number OF
small saplings which he used to IL
lustrate the various points he made,
His talk, all in all, was one of the
best that has been delivered at the
convention. Giving a number of has
experiences as a nurseryman, he inn
parted to the farmers interested IN
horticulture a great deal of informa-
ton that will be valuable in the care
of both private and commercial or
chards and other kinds of trees
A. A. DeSmidt.
Following Mr.. Chinberg, A. A. De-
Smidt was introduced by Superintend-
ent Hoverstad, who was n of the
regular speakers on the programme,
Mr.. DeSmidt is from Battle Lake,
Mimi, and is Of the best known
horticulturists in the gopher state.
He is the vice president Of the Minne-
sofa State horticultural society for
the Ninth Congressional district of
that state and has done a great deal
toward furthering the cause Of hortl-
culture in the northwest. In discuss
ing his subject, he said:
