the MORTON COUNTY FAIR
STARTS SEPTEMBER Il

The Morton county fair opens on
September 14th. continuing for three
days. The following is taken from one
of the Mandan papers:
The directors m planning to handle
the biggest crowds that ever attended a
Morton county exhibition and from
present indications they will not be
disappointed. 1t is a fact that nowhere
in the state this year at any fair will
the farmers of North Dakota have the
opportunity of seeing the displays of
farm products that will be put on exhihi
ton here this year, Coming in the fall
after the harvest is over it gives the
farmers opportunity to show this years
products of garden and field.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE OPENS

The A. C. will open for the fall term
the 10th of this month. Its aim is to
train men who shall be able to meet the
changing conditions in agricultural and
industrial life.
1t gives full courses in Agricultural.
Civil and steam engineering. General
science and domestic science.
There is a strong and increasing de-
mand for men trained in agriculture.
This demand comes in part from the
United States government service. in
part from schools seeking teachers. and
in large and increasing part for farmers
owning lands which they wish run at
the lowest possible profit, while keeping
up the fertility of their land. The pay
for this line of work is better than for
ordinary lines of teaching, and much
better than for most professional SER
vice.
The courses in engineering. fit men
for surveying. and like lines or for
steam and gas engine work. Its grad
yates are in constant demand and at
good wages. 1t is a good course for a
man with a mechanical turn of mind, or
for one who likes the open. The future
for one following either of the engineer
ing courses is very good.
The general science course gives one
a general college training. It is a good
and strong course. but we recommend
that a man or m take one of the
specialized lines Of study, as they lead
directly TO a money making goal.
