the room. escorted by the reception
committee. and he was greeted with
"A universal burst of applause. Mr.
Deets promptly presented the COVER.
nor. whoa he said. would speak OH
a topic of his own choosing.
The governor spoke of the great
ness that Minnesota had been achiev,
ing as corn state. He called 10
mind that not many years ago il
was thought impossible To- raise any
considerable quantity OF corn in this
state, even in the southern part,
but the corn belt had been gradually
going farther and farther north, until
now II extended away to the Canadian
boundary. He told how he had seen
some fine samples OF corn from
Kittson county I'm corn show al
Crookston. He said that this state
with all its fame for the growing OF
wheat, was now growing twice as
many bushels of corn as wheat. He
said that in 1914 the value of the
corn crop of this state was greater
than the value of the wheat crop.
Speaking further of the richness
Of Minnesota, the governor said that
during recent visit he made 10
flour and he was told that 81 cents
sack more was wanted for Min
nesota flour than for the other
brands, because the Minnesota flour
was the best. The governor also
spoke at length of the growing great
ness of Minnesota as a butter state
and the millions on millions of dol
lars that were coming into the state
every year from the sale of Mime
sofa butter.
Discussed Potatoes.
The speaker dwclt ut Somc length
on the subject OF potatoes and told
how Maine potatoes were know1i
throughout the east. II was true that
Maine was great potato state. but
Minnesota really raised more pota
toes than did the state of Maine.
Recent statistics show Minnesota
to be the third state In the union
in the raising of wheat, the third In
oats and the first in barley. In
Minnesota more barley was raised
in this state, just few years ago
than I'm the whole of the Dominion
of Canada. Minnesota could well
claim to be the foremost agricultural
state in the Union.
But i'm speaking of the resources
(, OF the state of Minnesota there
was no need of stopping right there
In the northern part of this state
there. were the greatest iron ore
deposits i'm the world Nor was
this all. Minnesota was a rich lum
Der state. II was the greatest lum
bering state east of the Rocky
mountains.
The governor went on To speak
of the population of Minnesota. and
laid stress on the fact that It was
drawn from the best that Europ,
had to give. He went back TO colon
jal times and spoke on the element:
from which the populations Of the
(, various colonies were drawn. liz
said with all these blessings and with
the virile character of tile people
there was no reason why great things
should not be accomplished Sucl
advantages brought with them cor
responding responsibilities.
Ability Of country's Founders.

wonderful ability of the men whit
founded this republic, men who seem
ed 10 be divinely appointed TO The
