FINISHES PUREBRED SALES IN BISMARCK DISTRICT cise Closing Sales Set This Week for Max, Sanish, Parshall and Ryder Attention of the Greater North Da- kota association’s purebred sire sale in the state this week is turned to the area north of Bismarck. _ ‘The week’s schedule is: Max, April 9; Sanish, April 10; Parshall, April 11; and Ryder, April 12. ‘With this week’s work completed, sire sales in the Bismarck district, be- gun in December, will have been fin- ished and the scene of the sire work probably will swing into northwestern North Dakota. Cooperation Is Helpful County agents, stock breeders, rail- 1oad development workers and local committees of business men and farmers have aided in the project at all points. At each sale local breeders were encouraged to bring their own animals in and offer them for private sale, at no cost for entering their stock, Since the saleS‘in the Morton- Burleigh area were first launched 171 head of purebred stock, mostly young sires, were secured by the association, including the number offered by local breeders. To secure the needed number of high-grade animals association stock buyers, Martin Apland and John Husby, were compelled to go outside North Dakota because the’ demands were for a type of animals which were not available in the state. Three car- loads, or 51 head, were bought from Minnesota dairy herds. One car of 15 head was purchased from the F. M. Rothrock beef shorthorn stocks at Spokane, Wash. The remainder, or approximately two-thirds of the num- ber placed, were from North Dakota breeders. Breeders in this state whose herds were represented with three or more ‘animals each include: Hartley stock farm, Page; New Salem Hol- stein circuit; Challey farms at Lis- bon; Clara Cooper farms, Courtena: Ww. W. Brown, Amenia; Otto Tew, Wahpeton; W. C. Byram, Casselton; Wildwood farms, Osnabrock; John ‘Wild estate, Milton; Aron Legg Forest River; Lorne Hewitt, Minto; J. D. Black, Grandin. Purchases made in anticipation of the current sales in- cluded six milking shorthorns from the Lewis Berg herd at Cooperstown and four from the Matt Rorvig herd at Binford. Prices Are Reasonable Selling prices for cattle ranged from $90 to $350 during the winter, with most sales ranging between $150 and $175. From the cattle offered more than 20 head were selected to head purebred herds, and the prices for these choice animals ranged from $200 to $300. Farmers with grade herds, seeking to raise their standard breed, were principal buyers. Paul C. C. Wagner, development agent for the Great Northern, and B. E. Groom of the association are spending some time in the northwest- ern part of the state, preparing for several months of sales activities, running till June. Among late individual requests for help in locating purebred sires is that of J. 8. Sanders, Enderlin, develop- ment agent for the Soo Line, who asks that from some early car of cattle a quantity be stopped and ex- hibited at Drake, many farmers in that area being desirous of finding a young sire to head their herds. WASHBURN NAMED AFTER A SENATOR ‘Washburn, N. Dak., was named af- ter Senator W. D. Washburn and not Carroll Washburn, aged 80, who lives in Bryantsville, Mass.’ ‘This statement was made by John Batterlund, founder of the town. ‘Washburn was named after the sen- ator, he said, who built the railroad, at that time the Bismarck, Wash- burn, and Great Falls railway, from Bismarck to Washburn. A letter recently received by Miss Agnes Peterson, Washburn postmis- tress, from William P. Washburn, Attleboro, Mass., prompted Satter- lund’s statement. 4 Part of the letter f : “lam writing to you because I thought it \would be of interest to you as well the citizens of your town to know ‘that the man (Hat your town is named after is still living at Bryant- ville, Mass.
