ent world. stand for religious in
struction now and forever Enclosed

high marks for monthly production.
During the year two large power
plants have been built in the heart Of
the coal fields and power produced
at the mouth Of mines is carried to
more than third of the state. The
development Of power from Ignite,
long the dream of those who could
vision the future of North Dakota,
has been one Of the outstanding fea-
lures of the year just closing. The
year has also witnessed the manu-
facture of dyes from Ignite on 4
commercial scale and these products
are today finding their way to every
state in the union.
Land Movement Starts
The most encouraging and well
coined sign in North Dakota during
the year, the association states, has
been the starting of a land movement.
This movement was general over the
entire state the forepart of the year
and has continued in number of dis
tritts throughout the entire year.
1t is>estimated that the total volume
of land sales during the year will run
into several millions, one group of
eight counties revealing total land
sales of more than S2,OOO,OOO when a
check was made there during the frs.
| six months of the year. For the most
part the buyers have been local farm
ers and their sons, but some new set
tiers have located here.

\ In conclusion the review draws at
tention to the fact that in the Greater
North Dakota association, which has
just concluded its first year of SER
vice to the state, North Dakota has
| built an aggressive statewide organ
ization to sponsor a systematic pro-
/ gram Of development and that it's

dlcates that it is being adequately
financed to continue its work and
that during the coming year it will

and correlating agricultural develop
ment work SO as to speed up North
Dakota's swing to diversified farm
ing. Other efforts toward state
development will become routine
part Of its operation.
North Dakota enters 1927 with
genuine optimism," the review adds.
THE past year has demonstrated
that we can no longer be classed as
"A one-crop state. We have witnessed
tremendous development along vel
coined lines. There is a new spirit OF
cooperation and harmony that in
dicates constructive thinking. We are
successfully meeting the problems
common to all younger states and
the task is made lighter by a gen
eral recognition of the fact that
North Dakota's future as one of the
leading agricultural states of the
union is assured"

A decided increase in the school

Other features Of the recent sur
vcy follow:
Births in the city since 1870 cx-

The number of domestic water
users showed an increase of $40 be-
tween the close of 1919 and the close

There were 1907 pupils enrolled

and i.1i2 at the close of 1870, an
increase Of 40.
An increase Of 1GS was shown in
