western Part of State Can
Easily be Prevented

part Of the state, in session here all
day yesterday, concluded their dis

southwestern part Of the state to pre-.
vent recurrence Of. the shortage Of

StEsagents that .,estimates of losses of
cattle in the southwestern part Of the
state have been exaggerated, but
hold that by planting forage crops 1t
can be avoided almost entirely.
The agents reported that diversi-
fication Of crops is gradually being
accomplished in the western part, Of
the state. The change is not abrupt,
it was stated More corn. is being
planted, sweet clover and other crops
are being put in.
Farmers are going into potato grow
ing by leaps and bounds 1t was said.
County agents, will devote their time
this year to pointing out the proper
methods of grading potatoes, SO that
they will bring a better price on the
market. Many important problems re-
lating to the potato industry will be
discussed at conference to be held
at Grand Forks soon.
The agents heard Mr.. Warburton OK
plain the plan of distribution Of seed
loan money, and planned their demon
strations for the year. They will, in
cooperation with progressive farmers,
demonstrate scientific methods of
raising potatoes, corn, sweet clover
and other products.
John Haw, of the Agricultural col
lege, nounty agent leader in the state,
presided at the meetings. The con-
ference was held in the Mckenzie
hotel. The agents were guests of e.

His final announcement came as a
complete surprise to the convention
and after the first moment of blank
surprise supporters OF Mr.. Townley
jumped to their feet with prOtesta-
tions. of their belief in him. The
speaker, however, did not wait to hear
these but hurried from the hall to his
hotel.

proaching his climax. 1t came.
with reference to the "balance
of power"
II believe in it," he declared. II
believe in the balance of power
plan and I'll prove that am right
in this belief in America yet"
In the early part of his speech Mr..
Townley laid the basis for the cleo
tion of a new state executive COM
mittee by showing that the National
articles of association of the league
called for the holding of office of the
present executive committee until the
convening of called delegate conven-
tio" such as is in session here. From
this convention on the term of the
executive committee would be two
years, he said.
Questioned From Floor
Mr.. Townley found himself con-
tronted with many questionerso when
he began his defense against the
charges made against him in the re-
port of the chairman of the executive
committee yesterday. His opponents
had appropriated the front seats and
he looked into circle of hostile faces
with his friends taking up the rear
OF the space reserved for delegates.
He commenced his defense by say
ing that from year before last No
vember heahad taken little part in the
affairs Of North Dakota and that the
executive committee must be held re-
spons1ble for the conduct of the af-
fairs OF the league for the last IS
months.
Selling Out Charge.
In answer to question from the
floor he charged that he had never
made the statement that if the bal.
ance of power plan were adopted he
would finance also the notes of the
league without also explaining how the
financing would be accomplished.
Referring to the charge that he
would sell out the league to pay the in
debtedness Mr. Townley remarked how
foolish such action would be.
ANY time l attempt to sell out the
league" said 'Mr. Townley l will go
with it.
IF l were going to sell out, however,
l would have sold out before when the
prices were higher and the market
better"
In explaining the charge that
Fred Miller auditor Of the national
committee had removed $4,000
worth Of checks from the North
| Dakota office Mr.. TownIey pro-
duced the articles OF the National
association to show that these
checks in payment of dues were
the property Of that organization.
He explained that they we're old
checks that had been turned over
to the North Dakota headquarters
for collection upon 20 cent basis,
the same being true Of the post
dated checks from all the other 13
states holding membership in the
league.
Power Plan Not Old.
When asked why they were again re.
turned to the North Dakota commit
tee Mr.. Townley stated that this was
