More than $500 North Dakota bus
mess and professional men and farm
ers will start out in their respective
communities Monday morning to
raise Sl50,O00 in cash for 1926 and
pledges for similar amounts each
year for the next four years to carry
out the five-year development pro-
gram proposed for North Dakota by
the Greater North Dakota Associa-
tion. Not since the Liberty Loan
campaign has North Dakota been so
thoroughly organized for such an ef
fort. Many community or sectional
development organizations have been
started in North Dakota in the past
but the present campaign of the
Greater North Dakota Association is
the first concerted action of all
North Dakotans to form /. state wide
development body dedicated to the
agricultural and industrial Develop
ment of the state as whole.
Three Bodies Combined
The new state wide development
body is composed of leading North
Dakotans from all sections of the
state brought together through the
amalg lgamation Of three state develop
ment organizations, the Greater
North Dakota Association, the North
Dakota Automobile Association and
the Roosevelt National Park Assocla-
ton. Its program is extensive in
scope and contemplates the coor-
dination of all practical state devel-
opment methods into one intensive
campaign extending over period of
at least five years.
The principal plank in the plat
form of the organization is that of
advertising and publicity concerning
the many advantages, both agricul-
tural and industrial, inherent in

states and will later be extended to
include an advertising and publicity
campaign in certain northern Europ-
can countries from which the better

Plans Of the organization contem-
plate the sending of qualified repre-
sentatves to the Scandinavian coun-
tries, southern Russia, Germany, Ilol-
land and Belgium, at a later date
when conditions appear opportune, to
bring colonies of farm immigrants to
North Dakota, settling them on tracts
in communities populated largely by
people of their own nationality.
Advertising concerning the state
will be of many diverse forms. News
paper and magazine advertising will
form part Of the program and this
type Of advertising will be strength
encd and supported by the showing
of state exhibits, by the distribution
of direct mail follow-up literature,
by newspaper and magazine publ
city, by the broadcasting of state
radio programs, and by every practi-
cal advertising and publicity med
