The ordinary cameras are Of little use

GOVERNOR ASKS
FOR FRIENDLY
COOPERATION
Asks Farmer. to Sell Portion
Of Crop Withheld to
Relieve Situation h

Relieve Situation ~
The Governor has issued an ap-
peal to the citizens Of North Dako-
ia asking for the friendly coopera-
tion of all citizens, at this time, and
recommending that the farmer dis
pose ola portion Of his produce,
now held, an ss to help relieved the
present financial condition. Copies
Of this appeal were sent to all news
papers. It is as follows:
To the Citizens Of North Dakota:
The present conditions are serious
enough to deserve the thoughtful
consideration Of all people. The
deplorably low prices Of all farm
products for the past three or four
months and which still exist, have
caused the farmers to withhold 4
large portion Of their crops from the
market. This action is Justly COM
mendable, for no fair minded. indi-
vidual can blame the farmer for en-.
deavoring to get for his products at
least the cost Of production. New
theless it has brought about results
that are we'll nigh disastrous in, ev.
cry agricultural section Of our ma
tion. 3;,
Every other line Of business ID
practically marking time waiting
for the farmers to sell their pro-
ducts. This demonstrates more con-
vincingiy than than ever before that
every other industry depends on the
tillers Of the coil and that farming
is the sbaaic industry fsan indus
tries.
9 But present conditions are bad
and we must face them az they are.
The friendly cot operation Of all our
citizens is needed This, is no time
for prejudice OF spite work, but ra-
ther a time for charity and brother
~ love. No foreclosures should
be made. unless absolutely necessary
to protect the property, and Ionthe
other hand obligations should be
met if possible, and past due paper
renewed or equitable adjustments
made. In localities where there: ID
= surplus Of farm products, some
portion should be put on the mar
ket to help relieve the financial sit
uation. I would suggest that the
county agents lend their assistance
BY ascertaining Just what products
could be most advantageously dis
posed Of from time to time IN the
various communities. q
By calm and thoughtful iugdment
and friendly cooperation. I am
confident that what might be Z ser.
ipus panic can be .averted. North
Dakota is in great deal better cir
cumstances than many other states
and her future welfare can be as-
sured BY all placing our shoulder 70
the wheel and trusting in an al
. wise Providence.
Respectfully,
