NO DEFICIT IS
LOADED ON STATE

PUT
STAMP ON CLAIMS
Show That Organization
Was Promoted for Better
ment of Farm Conditions


Denying that a deficit had been
turned over to the state at the time
that the Better Farming association
was merged with the agricultural col
lege, and affirming that the association
was formed solely for the purpose Of
lettering farming conditions in the
state, the directors Of the organization
today issued a signed statement, CIV
ing their side of the controversy. It
follows:
In the fall of 1911 an organization
called the Better Farming association
Of North Dakota was started for the
purpose Of cooperating with the
farmers Of the state to improve agri-
cultural conditions.
""This association appreciated that
the work they wished to do should
eminent or h state. that n or both
of them could do this work. Neither
yer prepared at hat time to do 1t be-
cause of a lack Of sufficient available
resources to properly conduct it. With
that in mind the association decided
to assist counties in carrying on dem
o%nstrations which would be along
lines approved by the department Of
agriculture. The association financed
their share of the expense of the coun-
ties by private subscription.
after the work had been continued
for two years the board of trustees
of the agricultural college proposed
that the Better Farming association
discontinue It's work on Jan. I, 1914,
as the time had come when the board
of trustees felt that it could, with
available state funds, the assistance
Of the federal government. and funds
turned over by the Better Farming
association, carry on the work. It was
understood that the board of trustees
should continue the work along such
lines as they deemed advisable.
ION Jan. 1, 1914, the Better Farm
ing association was in possession Of
$13,216.52 In cash and cash assets and
also personal property valued at
$4,000, together with an agreement
with the federal government for the
payment Of $1,000 to assist in carry
ing on this work; a total Of $23,316.52.
