FARGO, n. D., Jan. 21-This was
the second day of the Tri-state Grain
and Stock Growers convention. The
chief incident of the morning session
was a discussion over the location of
the North Dakota state fair at Fargo
instead of Mandan. The matter was
brought up by Hon. Charles McKissick,
of Mayville, and a committee was ap-
pointed, of which he was made chair
man, to appear before the legislature
and ask that change be made. There
We're many interesting discussions,
among which We're Prof HoverStad, of
the Crookston experiment station, on
horses; Charles McKissick, of May
Vile, on Swine Raising on the Farm
for Profit" G. S. Barnes, of Fargo, on
Farm Industry" M. F. Greedy, Of
Aberdeen, on Economical Meat Pro-
duction.
Live Stock Association Organized.
The chief incident of the afternoon
session was the organization of the
North Dakota Live Stock association,
which will cooperate with the grain
growers for the advancement of the
farmers of the state. While it is es-
pecially urged that all breeders of
blOoded cattle, hogs, sheep and horses
in the state become members, the lists
are open to every resident of the state
ran up to several hundred this after
noon in less than an hour after organi-
cation. The officers Of the organiZa-
ton are: President, ]. H. Sheppard,
of Fargo; first vice president, c. H.
McKissick, Mayvile: second vice pres
ident, A. c. McGilliVray, Dickinson;
secretary, ]. A. Power, Tower; treas
urer, G. S. Barnes, Fargo.
The constitution and bylaws pro-
vide for an annual meeting and show
and sale days.
At the evening session additional in
terest was added by an hours concert,
given by the Cadet band, Mandolin
club and Glee club of North Dakota
agricultural college. Among the par
Elephants in the programme were Prof.
Shepperd, of Fargo; NJ S. Mayo, Of
Walhalla: E. F. Laad, of Fargo, and J.
G. Halland, of Hillsboro. A special
committee was appointed to investi-
gate the requirements of the agricul-
tural college. This afternoon the at
tendance was 700, and tonight LOO.
Wisconsin, Bismarck Inspection.
Messrs. Crumpton and Schmidt, Of
Superior, who have been to Bismarck
interviewing legislators on the pro-
posed Wisconsin, Bismarck grain in
spoction, are here, comforting with
delegates. Representatives from Su-
periOr were at once promised a place
on the programme, which was later
denied them on the ground that the as
ISOLATION did not care to mix up in the
matter officially. It is probable that
the failure to get place viii result in
some delegates presenting resolutions
faVOring a new inspection, and the
convention may place itself on record
in the matter.
The election resulted in several
changes in the board of managers of
the association. Of last years board,
NJ. Sacen, Edward Smith, Pendennis
White, NJ E. Rittonhouse and T. f.
Madden were not reelected. In their
places the following were chosen:
Capt r. Q. Britain, Charles Foster, c.
7. Williams, Capt. w. D. Hamilton
and George Nestor.
AT this afternoons session the queS-
ton of carrying rates was the principal
subject discussed. 1t is improbable
that q rate will be established this sea-
son. The question of pooling all the
vessels in the association and having a
central chartering office was referred
to the board of managers.
The board of managers met a dele
cation from the Masters and Pilots
assOcia ton, who presented a schedule
for next year. 1t called for an advance
over last years salaries and was re-
fused by the board.
