Continued from page !

Wednesday afternoon session was on
organization" The paper was written
by J. j. Ryan, st. Paul, and read by J
p Cain OF Dickinson. Mr.. Ryan in
his article, emphasized the Importance
of conceded action on the part Of
retailers IL they expect to achieve re-
suits that will aid them in business
careers. His paper al full of prac-
ticable suggestions for all delegates
in attendance.
The pure food law of North Dakota
was generally discussed by the asso-
citation. 1t has been discovered that
there are catalogue houses that ship
impure goods into the state who are
exempt from prosecution because the
trade is carried on as interstate COM
MERGE. Necessity for united action in
securing adequate laws in all states
is very manifest.
In one case of flavoring extract
shipped into the state, Prof. E. F.
Fladd discovered poison enough to
kill four people
Regarding the examination of food
stuffs by the pure food department
an instance was cited where three
carloads of certain catsup were ship
ped into Northwestern Mime
sofa. The pure food department de-
clared the catsup was pure. The
North Dakota department decided 1t
was impure Thus it was emphasized
the need of better and more adequate
pure food laws. In this connection
it was asserted by men present from
other states that North Dakota has
the best pure food laws Of any state
in the entire country.
Closer relationship between the
state manufacturer and retailers was
also discussed. Local cooperation
between the manufacturers and retail
ers means the building up of individ-
ual communities and the state in gen.
eral. There was a distinct sentiment
expressed favoring "%patronizing home
industries"
John N. Jackson of st. Paul, vice
president of Lampher Skinner & Co ,
delivered an address upon "The Great
Possibilities of North Dakota as a
Market" Mr.. Jackson first travelled
through North Dakota thirty years
ago. He stated he had watched with
interest the change of Western Da'
kota from a cattle country to a thriv-
ing agriculture community. Cities
that are surrounded with many small
farmers are much more prosperous
than towns where large farms pre-
vail. Within 30 years, Mr.. Jackson
predicted, North Dakota will be as
thickly settled as any state Of Tie
east.
The state of North Dakota and the
entire American northwest, stated
Mr. Jackson, has one Of the greatest
futures, it has more possibilities than
any other section of the United
States. The speaker also stated that
he would not trade his chances as a
manufactures in this section for the
same chances in any other part OF the
nation.
Increasing interest in the doctrines
Of better farming which is being man
ifested in every section of North Da-
kota is a very favorable omen. There
was a time when farmers Of the com.
monwealth were inclined to scoh at
what they designated as the teachings
OF book farmers"
The past two years have taught an
invaluable lesson to many OF them and
the splendid crops this year are due
as much to better farming methods
and the splendid methods en-
ployed in tilling the soil and to
cult 'ating crops as 10 favorable yea
Their and climatic conditions that have
generally prevailed.
Boy Wanted on the Farm.
During the past Is years there has
been a tendency for boys to leave
the farm and 60 to the city. Today
