The Minneapolis exposition this year
promises to be record breaker. New
and novel features are to be found on
every hand. Not the least among the
novelties will be the brass band tourna-
ment. Entries are already being made
for the event, and it promises to be one
Of the musical features Of the season.
The regular musical program rendered
daily will be furnished by the Thirteenth
Regiment band of New York City under
the leadership Of Fred N. Innes. There

B. s. Russell is gathering specimens
Of grains and grasses for the state ex-
hibit. Last week Professor Bolley,
botan;st of the state Agricultural COL
lege, spent several days here, and gave
parties interested much information
about the selection and preservation of
specimens In short drive in the
country, Prof Bolley pointed out some
eighteen varieties of food grasses
growing on the prairies. He Is certain
that red clover can be made q successful
crop in the state, and is now devoting
considerable attention to that great
family, 80 widely useful as food plants
and fertilizers. Mr.. Russell brought in
today fine sample Of native timothy.
It is very valuable food grass and Prof.
Bolley declares it will prove the future
hay of North Dakota. 1t grows wild on
old breaking and can readily be dis
tingulshed by it's resemblance to timothy,
the heads of the native grass being
shorter than those Of the tame variety.
