OF the PloSEER-ExrREss to see if there
was any prospect of a fall show this sea-
son. Surely Pembina county is not
going to let so important an enterprise
drop after once getting it started. We
should be able to get up splendid fare
in this county. There is fair prospect
ola good sampel of grain this season,
and it would be q step in the right direc-
ton to improve the seed grain of the
country. If the farmers were more parti-
cular in cleaning up their seed grain
there would not be SO much trouble
about the grading system when they
drive ON the market. There is some
good stock and it would be the means of
