value of the work already accom-
plished by the state agricultural ex.
tension division and the county agri-
cultural agents and recommend that
the coming legislature increase ap-
preparations for this work, and author
ize larger appropriations by counties
desiring to enlarge the scope of their
county agent work.
Commencing the efficient and ef-
fective work of the state immigration
department and believing that such
department is proving a great factor
in state development, we sincerely
urge communities and individuals to
continue to cooperate with it by fur
nishing information with reference to
their communities as to its resources
and what it may have to offer and do
urge that the legislature of the state
4 be liberal in the granting of it's appro-
priation toward the maintenance OF
this department and the furtherance
of it's work.
Believing the conservation of game
fish will be better handled by the es-
tablishment of small fish hatcheries
throughout the state, we urge the
adoption of legislation along this line.
Be it resolved that in view of the
fact that the federal government has
established dams under the direction
of the war department for controlling
flood waters at the heads of rivers in
this state, we recommend that the
thousands of horse power now going
to waste over these dams be utilized
to furnish light and power for rural
communities and municipalities.
Be it resolved, that we reiterate
the resolutions heretofore adopted by
the association calling upon the state
to furnish dynamite at cost for land
clearing and road building.
Be it resolved, that this association
, again recommends that law be pas
sed which provides that taxes on lands
should not be increased by virtue OF
it being cleared and put under cult
walton, for the reason that the clear
ing of the land by the settler increases
the value of the adjoining lands owned
by the state and by nonresident free
holders.
, We greatly appreciate the co-opera
ton of the All-Minnesota Development
!. association with this and other sim
liar associations in the state and
pledge our further cooperation with

ISOLATION to appoint three delegates to
the annual meeting of the All Mime
sofa Development association, which
is to be held in st. Paul on Jan. 5th
and 9Th, 1917.
This association favors liberal ap-
preparation by the next legislature tor
the investigation and demonstration
of peat and swamp lands to the end
that the state may be able to give pur-
chasers of such lands definite advice
and instructions as to the uses and
treatment of the same.
Resolved that legislature be asked
to make appropriation for the pur-
pose of paying adequate bounties for
the destruction of wolves whose ra-
wages are menace in many localities.
We urge the legislature to investi-
gate the land clearing demonstrations
which the state of Wisconsin makes
for the benefit of those desiring to
learn the best and cheapest methods
of clearing stump land and if found
practicable to enact legislation along
similar lines for the benefit of Mime.

adopted:
Whereas Amendment Number One

Election, by the qualified voters of
this state, providing for Revolving
Fund of $250,000.0O to be provided

and purpose of said Constitutional
Amendment and be it further
Resolved, that this association places
itself on record most emphatically in
favor of some provision being made
by the state for an early and thor
ough soil survey. We urge upon the
legislature the necessity for provid-
ing at once such a soil survey to be
made of the lands of this state, this
work to be done by men selected by
reason of their special fitness and
qualifications in such work, by agrt,
cultural training and practical exper
fence, a.. ...-...
Whereas, the adoption of Amend

l.- H,-nlas JOURNAL srse,.t LEASED w'ssn

Paris, April l9.-Paris received
with great enthusiasm the news of
the fall of Trebizond. The event was
looked for but it was not thought
the Russians would be able to cap
ture the city so quickly. The politi-
cal as well az the military conse-
quences are expected to be most inn
portant, particularly in view of the
fact that Turkey has loss one of tho
most valuable parts of Asia Minor at
a time when, according to reports
reaching Paris, Germany is weaken
ing her forces in the Balkans to
carry on attacks on the western front
French military writer's state that
the plan CT campaign OF Grand Duke
Nicholas, the Russian commander,
was a daring one which at first was
looked unon as foolhardy but now is
fully justified. The grand duke de-
clded to advance boldly to the at
tack on this front, where maneuVers
OF warfare were possible while the
other fronts were still held in dead
lock.
Excluding the operations on the
Persian front, Grand Duke Nicholas,
in this campaign against an expert
enced and stubborn foe, has to his
credit the storming of ten cities in
less than two months.
