Little Falls herald. [volume] (Little Falls, Morrison County, Minn.) 1889-1950, 1920-01-30

The big meeting CAME to close early
Tuesday afternoon and most of the
delegates returned to their homes that
afternoon. The directors remained,
however, and held another meeting at
the Buckman hotel to discuss ways and
means Of carrying out the wishes of
the meeting.
It is the desire of the farmers to get
this organization going by this spr
so that; they may be able to realize
from it this year.
NQfaotion was taken on the location
of headquarters. There were several
bids for the headquarters, including
Little Falls, the twin cities, Duluth, st.
Cloud, Brainerd, Bemidji, Crookston,
good show Of being selected as there
is much in its favor as suitable place
for the headquarters of such an organi-
zation.s This city is located geograph-
ically, almost in the center of the state
and is the center of the potato growing
country. It has good railroad service,
good hotel accommodations. Perhaps
one of the best arguments offered for
locating headquarters in small city
is that the potato buyers like to come
in contact with the potato growers; to
get out into the country and see the
land on which the crop is produced, the
factory' so to speak. Little Falls is
going to make united effort to get
the headquarters here.
On Monday evening, after the busi-
ness session, the delegates and visitors
held what Mr.. Hughes termed "a mul-
igan stew.' At this session a number
of we'll informed men were given op-
portunity to talk on matters of vital
interest to the farmers, particularly
