United States Will
Cooperate With N. D.
Better Farming Assn.
Sec Thomas Cooper and His Assistants Will Now Have the
Assistance Of Federal Government Thing for
North Dakota Says President Weiser
The United States department

The United States department of
agriculture will cooperate with the
North Dakota Better Farming asso-
citation, and this will be pleasing news
to the people of this state.
This was brought about through the
efforts of Thomas P. Cooper the Sec
retary of the state association, who
accomplished much during his recent
visit to Washington, and it means a
great deal to the state.
Under the terms of the agreement
the Better Farming association acts
Jointly with the federal department of
agriculture in carrying on the various
lines of field and demonstration work
developed by the association. Thomas
Cooper. the director in charge of the
work in the state, becomes the joint
leader representing the department of
agriculture while the various field men
associated with him Jointly represent
the u. S. department and the Better
Farming association.
This agreement does not in any way
affect the method of organization. the
form of work that is carried on, or the
method of financing and county Co
operation that has been adopted. 1t
brings together more closely the agri-
cultural forces of the northwest and
to a large extent guarantees the per-
manency of the work of the Better
Farming association.
While the Better Farming associa-
