Dakota will lend their full coopcra-

very few years." he said. So much
progress is being made through new
sources of income. better methods,
more intensive systems, larger pro-
duction at the same overhead ex-
pense, and more efficient equipment
that the gross increase is not realix-
ed. or appreciated, by those not in
step with what is being done.
A Central Agency
During the past few years valu-
able contributions to our agricultural
development have been made by many
institutions. The agricultural com.
mittee of the Greater North Dakota
association was brought into action,
to serve as a central agency for the
numerous private agencies engaged
in this work, and to supplement tho
broad and efficient program of the
agricultural college and tho cxtcn-
sion department. We should all real
