For with crops this meeting will mainly concern itself. Even though | the state will not produce a normal grain harvest this summer, there will be millions on millions of bushels of wheat and flax to move to market. Minnesota, Montana and South Da- kota prospects must be considered, too, as they are in the district. ‘Then there is a problem of alloca- | tion of empty cars to elevators to | come up, and this probably will be the main feature of the meeting to’ adjust. It has been proposed by the | railroads to ignore the prior alloca- | tion on a basis of the ration of bu: ness done. The farmers elevator have handled the major portion the elevator business and would to retain the old ratio basis, othcr- wise their corporate rivals wil advanjage to the detriment farmers, the latter assert. 77 { EA SERVIER INE.

A change in rules governing car distribution when clevators are blocked will be on the docket for dis- cussion and be approved or disap- proved.” The program of the meeting will include some nationally-known speak- ers, among them Governor George F.

Gutti has a new special racer that is miles faster than his 1928 en- try. However, he will not be without competition according to F. G R. Schultze of the Western Auto com- pany, in charge of the auto races. A E. Marcotte, Dickinson speed demon, is one of the entries. Marcotte is the lad who gripped his stecring whell so tightly in one of the 1928 races that ithe wheel broke off and he drove 314 miles, the rest of a five mile heat, steering by a single spoke of the quadrant. M. C. Schow and John Osterhouse, Stanton, N. D.,; Dewey Baumgart, Fargo; Miles Parmentor, Hickson; Roland Speckman, who took second money in 1928, Frank Sands and Don Cameron of Grand Forks; E. T. Swensrud, Dunn Center; M. Klemes- rud, Fargo; Edward Schneider, Min- neapolis, are a few of the other en- tries. Big prize money is being offered and the entry list will probably be greatly increased. The Missouri Slope fair has absolutely refused to sign up with any of a number of racing syndi- cates which operate by selling for so much cash and a percentage of gatc receipts, an auto show, thus exclud- ing gencral entries. Any of the racers fro mthese syndicates are welcome to enter the Slope fair races. Under present plans, Tuesday, July 23, will be given over to classifica- tion of all the auto racers. Races on the next two days will be between var- fous classes, while the final day will see capital prizes and free for all events. Some of the fastest running horses in the northwest will also provide en- tertainment each afternoon, in addi- tion to six big time free attractions.

Oakes Lions joined with the local business men and ered kegs = evening program that drew per- sons. The train was at Oakes from 7:30 to 10:30. The special is making its way to- ward Bismarck, over the Missouri River division. and will be here ™1- day evening. Big crowds are meeting the exhibit at every town where stops are being made, the attendance for three of the six weeks exceeding 12,- 000 persons, last Saturday night. Today the cars are at Lehr and Wishex. Thursday, stops will be made at Fredonia and Napoleon. Fri- day finds the cars at Braddock from noon to 3 p. m. and et Bismarck from 1:30 to 10:30 p. m. County Agent Miesen will be on hand to assist with the program et Bismarck, where another large crowd is anticipated. Saturday the cars are at Washburn from 9 to 11 and Wilton from 2:30 to 4:30. At Oakes, the exhibit cars were opened an hour ahead of schedule and kept open until late at night that all might study the charts and displays. ‘The two farm scenes, the one repre- senting the home and farm of the typical grain farmer, the other his brother farmer who believes in cows and sheep, attracted continuous at- tention. Soo Line Sam, the “wisest goat in the world,” held the crowd spellbound and baffled the most de- termined investigations as to how he operates. 8. J. Sanders, livestock agent for the Soo Line, opened the program and in- troduced E. F. Johnson, general agri- cultural agent, who emphasized the thought that the present campagn of the Soo agrcultural department for Placing additional bands of sheep was in no way to be considered as being opposed to the continuous dairy cam- paign. Mr. Johnson said: “We still feel that the dairy busi- ness is the best business for the aver- age North Dakota farmer to engage in. We know, however, that there are many farmers living in the commun- cows. We know that it is a mistake to encourage a farmer who does not have a natural liking for dairy cows, to start in the dairy business. To those men we earnestly recommend sheep, for no farm can operate effi- ciently and profitably today, or con- trol the weeds that are fast gaining supremacy of our grain fields, without some livestock. Sweet clover is one of the best smother crops known to aid in eliminating weeds, but no farm- er can afford to grow sweet clover un- less he has some livestock to which ities around Oakes that will not milk | the [___ Married in Lavish Setting __| COLLEGE IS FACING MANY CHANGES FR SEASON IN FACULTY, Some of Members Are Going to Other Fields; New Talent Is Booked; Some Promotions Fargo, N.
