CONFERENCES TO BE HELD
ON PROTEIN WHEAT VALUES

A unified program designed. to help
wheat growers obtain the protein val
ues OF their grain is the purpose Of
series of July ard August confer
ences called by Nils A. Olsen, chief
Of the Bureau Of Agricultural Econ
oni.cs, United States Department of
Agriculture.
Representatives of State agricul-
tural colleges, grain growers, and
gram buyers have been asked to par
ticipate in thesa conferences, the
dates of which will be announced To-
ca!ly. The conference will be held at
Bozeman, Mont, Fargo. N. d.; Brook
ings, S. D.; Minneapolis, Mimi; Oma-
ha, Nebr.; Manhattan, Kans., and
Oklahoma City, Okla.
Secretary Pardine of The Depart
ment of Agriculture has been espec-
tally interested in the development of
some system whereby farmers would
receive the premiums for protein con-
tent of their grain. Studies have been
made by the Bureau of Agricultural
Economies with regard to the whole
problem of protein values, particular
ly from the standpoint of inspection,
grading and marketing. The confer
ences have been called to obtain in
formation and suggestions from the
local educational, agricultural and
commercial interests with a view TO
working out jointly some plan of ac-
ton in which all parties concerned
could cooperate.

forty or a fraction; in five more a
quarter section or less; substantially
what is left is all in the northeastern
counties, constituting the cutOver
country and including the mineral
belt.
There were 10000 in the agricul-
tural college grant, reduced to $4,000
in the process of selection, and $4,000
acres in the direct grants to the uni
versity. Those lands have all been
sold but $4,000 acres, lying in four
counties of the cutover district.
The internal improvement grant of
100000 acres was practically all alb
sorbed in the misadventure with the
railroad bonds of 1857; there remains
$50 acres scattered in five counties.
The swamp land grant came to A.
711,OO0 acres after some had been lost
to squatters and some had been brush
ed away by Indian reservations and
some had been picked up in railroad
grants for which the state should
have got lieu lands if there had been
anything left for "lieu;" and lot
were held up by the land office on
the ground that the government sur
vey notes were false and fictitious
the grant still conveyed to the state
more than 4,700,000 acres, of which
the state gave away nearly 100000
acres to railroad companies and 9TH
ers.
Of what was left of the swamp
lands, the state has sold 100000 acres
and has left 100000 acres. There
are some small lots, in two instances
less than an acre. scattered through
eight counties. Substantially the en-
tire remaining lands are in the fiji
teen cutover counties in northeastern
Minnesota.
Originally the constitution directed
that the most valuable lands be sold
first. Practically that meant the
lands that would fetch the best price.
The sales began in the seventeen
counties southeast of the Minnesota
river and in less than ten years they
were all cleaned up. In another ten
years the school lands were practical
ly all sold up the Mississippi Valley
as far as Otter Tail and as far west
as Martin County in the southern
tier.
In the SOS settlement swept into
the Red River Valley and followed up
the Minnesota river on both sides and

ported by Dunn in 1902, had been
phenomenally large for all classes,
and prices far in excess of the aver
age. The sales in 1901 had included
the public building lands in Kandiyohi
county, while sales in the Red River
Valley averaged 1882 an acre COM
pared with an average of $6.32 for
forty years previous.
But in 1902 there were sold 100000
acres in the central and northwestern
counties, "being the least developed
and widest part of the state" at an
average "a cents an acre better than
the forty year average.
Naturally-but southern Minnesota
was undeveloped and wild country
forty years earlier. Sales and prices
kept even with development all the
way along.
Still, Dunn was never tired of COM
pairing the proceeds of these sales in
the rough and wild and "uninhabit-
able" regions with those in the gar
den spot of Minnesota"
Obviously what is left is valuable
mainly for forest and mineral values.
And for the handling of these lands
in such wise as may bring the largest
returns to the children's heritage, new
considerations of policy are in order.
