LIBEL ON n. D.
IS ANSWERED
BY. M. DEVINE
Tells Illinois Speaker This
State Can Recover Quick
or Than Illinois
RECEIVES AN APOLOGY
Speaker Declares North Da.
kOta Farms Could Not BE
Sold For Debt on Them

What he terms libel on the state
of North Dakota has been called"
by Commissioner of Immigration j.
M. Devine, and the result has been
an apology from an Illinois college
president who told large audience
that ''if North Dakota were to sell
out today they couldn't sell out for
the total amount of their public debt,
mortgage and bonds. Is this not an
economical problem for one of the
greatest agricultural states in the
country?"
An Illinois man, who heard the ad-
dress and was informed that $4,000
copies would be distributed among
the farmers of that state, informed
Commissioner Devine of the state
ments, and the speaker has assured
Mr.. Devine that the statement will
be excepted from the address as
printed and distributed.
The attention of the immigration
department has been called to four
such glaring mis-statements DUR
the past five months, according to
Mr.. Devine. In two of these there
was a prompt and satisfactory reply
when the facts were told, but in 9TH
ers no reply was received.
"May say" said Mr.. Devine in
writing to the speaker who said
North Dakota could not be sold out
with profit on the auction block, eff
it was conceivable to bring about
such an impossible procedure as to
attempt to sell all North Dakota
lands at a given time, place and hour
under the auction block, the result
might and probably would be hurtful
to the other people who live in this
state. A like procedure for the state
of Illinois or any other state would
be equally hurtful to the people who
live in those states. In either case
am inclined to the belief that the
buyer of North Dakota land under
the above stated condition, within a
much shorter length of time, would
secure a far greater profit when he
cashed in upon our rich, level
priced lands than would the buyer of
the highly inflated level priced lands
of Illinois.
"North Dakota is very young
state as compared with Illinois-just
thirty-four years since statehood,
yet am risking the statement that
it is wholly within the possibilities
that within thirty years North Dako-
tn may equal and even surpass Iili-
nois in those agricultural produc-
tions, which have made that great
state famous, namely, corn, hogs and
beefstock. Illinois is practically at
the peak of its agricultural produc-
tion. North Dakota is just in the
early morning of its agricultural his
tory and development and is just
now swinging rapidly into those

Will Make Contributions To-
ward Carrying Out Diver
sification Aid Urged From
the White House-tO Loan
Money to Farmers to Pur-
chase Livestock - May be
More Later

Minneapolis, April 15-Directors
of the Agricultural Credit Corpdt-
alton. at a conference here, voted
Sl,OOO,0O0 to promote diversified
farming in the northwest.
Their action was taken at the re-
quest of President Coolidge who is
anxious that farmers of the spring
wheat area obtain some of the aid
provided in the Norbeck- Burtness
bin. which was killed in the senate.
{. I. Jaffray, chairman of the board,
announced that any additional help
will depend upon the manner with
which the first appropriation is re-
ccived.
"W@a are going to start with mil
lion dollars, Mr.. Jaffray said. we
want to see how this will work out
before we make any other plans
Program Not Complete
Details of the new farm relief pro-
gram are not yet complete. Presi-
dents of the agricultural colleges of
the spring wheat states probably will
be called to conference with Off
GERS of the corporation to discuss the
problem, Mr.. Jaffray said. 1t is ex-
pccted that the first loans will not
be made until after that meeting. In
any case it is probable that investi-
cation of the needs of individuals and
communities will be necessary before
advancing funds.
Eventually the ALLEGATION of the
money will be determined by the
amount of livestock feed that will be
available from the acreage once de-
voted to wheat, according to Mr.. Jaf-
fray. Government reports show
there is reduction this year in the
spring wheat acreage amounting to
Ia percent of 100000 acres. The
reduction in North Oak ota is set at
16 percent of 100000 acres
Follow Wishes
Plans for extending this help to
farmers who wish to diversity had
been considered at the headquarter RS
.of the corporation for several weeks
before Mr.. Jaffray conferred with
the president. His report of the
wishes of the administration in the
matter added impetus in the work
and the unanimous vote of the di.
rectors yesterday gave the official
order for all possible speed in the
matter.
Immediate response to the pro.
gram is assured where the corpora
tions bank relief service has been
most intensive, according to the d.
rectors. The bankers in these dis
trlcts report that the farmers are in
responsive mood to do their share

MINE FIRE
CONTINUES
Reported Efforts to Exiting
uish Blaze Abandoned

Hope of trying to save the Stewart
coal mine, afire three miles south of
Beulah, has been abandoned, accord
ing to the Beulah Independent.
Government men, the report says,
discovered that the fire had reached
into "rooms" of the mine operated
by Mr.. Stuhr, and was beyond con-
troll. If the fire is allowed to burn
itself out, thousands Of acres of good
coal land are doomed to destruc-
ton.
1t is possible that efforts to iso-
late the fires, by tunneling around
them, will be made later.
