Due to lack of local lead- ership and to the fact that the coun- |ty agent and county superintendent of "schools, because of other duties, were unable to supervise the work. The local clubs organized in various parts of the county and the individ- ual clubs were not as great a suc- cess as interest taken in the spring promised. Bread-making, garment-making and other domestic science work can be carried on and finished during the gchool year while teachers are pre- sent to lend encouragement.

Although it will*be difficult to esti- mate the volume of business in farm produce which was transacted at the roadside this summer and fall, bank- ers throughout the state are being asked to confer with farmers and give approximate figures. It is known, however, that thousands of pounds of Minnesota butter and large quantities of vegetables, fruits, eggs and \poultry, were purchased by tour- ists. Sales on the better known highways were heavier than on the state roads. Business of this kind has become so heavy that the Jefferson highway —especially between Minneapolis, Osseo and Anoka—has literally been lined with farmers booths, on Sun- days. A few drivers have complained to local authorities. It hus%een cus- tomary for. the farmers to establish their booths just off the road and offer a variety of products for sale. A preliminary investigation is said to have disclosed that the booths are not dangerous to the great majority of automobile travelers but that they may have worried a few reckless drivers. The past week brought practically complete reports on crops. Latest adviers did not alter the essential anouncements, or forecasts, carried in previous reports issued by the Merchants National bank. Oats and. corn yield abundantly; clover brought wealth to many farmers; sugar beets were very good in spots and fairly good in some districts; there were a few satisfactory wheat yields but the crop as & whole was small; flax, bar- ley and other small grains were ir- regular but many big yields were reported. Numerous farmers report- ed tremendous potato crops but the price slump.proved a disappointment to growers. Raising of tobacco and cane was successfully accomplished in some sections. Warm October weather has kept hens on the job and shipments of egps have been heavier than a year ago. It is possible that every county in the state may be included in the declaration that the pure bred cattle industry is developing along such broad lines that Minnesota will rank as a top notch state within a year or two. Scores of farmers from Iowa, Nebrask, ‘Wisconsin, Illinols, Kan- sas and other states have, urged Minnesota breeders to exhibit more freely at shows of national interest. Every county fair, with less than a half dozen exceptions, was featured by record high grade stock exhibits and numerous farmers shipped their cattle to the fairs in their own trucks. STATE NORMAL BOARD MEETS AT MOORHEAD Will Hold Adjourned Meeting Soon to Complete Budget s for Six Schools (By United Press) Moorhead, Oct. 13.—The dtate normal school board in session in Moorhead yesterday will hold an ad- journed meeting in about ten days, at the call of the secretary, to com- plete the work of planning a budget for the six normal schools of the state.
