There are seventy applications for

SPEAKERS OF REPUTE TO
SPEAK At CoURTY FAIR
Thursday, September 18th, Is Farm
ers' Day" at the BeItrami County
Annual Fair.

nat the r Ourth Annual Far OF
the Beltrami County Agricultural
association (to be held Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday of next
week) will result in bringing out
much valuable information as TO
the proper methods to pursue in
dairying and farming on the cut.
over lands of Northern Minnesota,
is certainty, as many of the best
dairying and farming experts in
Wisconsin as we'll as Minnesota
will be present at the fair and
deliver addresses on timely sub
jects that will undoubtedly be
intensely interesting to the crowds
of Beltrami county farmers who
will be in attendance at the fair.
September IS (the second day
of the fair) has been designated as
Farmers Day." and an especially
attractive program has been
arranged for that day..
Ransom A. Moore, professor of
agronomy in the University of Wis
consin, has been engaged to speak
on that day. Mr.. Moore is an &C.
copied authority on agronomy and
he is so recognized by agricultural
authorities all over the country. Mr..
Moore was given special mention by
J. J. Hill in the famous address
which the railroad magnate de-
livered before the Minnesota legis-
lature last winter, at which time Mr..
Hill called particular attention to
the development of the agricultural
sources of the northwest. Mr..
Moore's speech will TEEN with valu-
able information on agronomy.
Professor ~. Mcclure of Grand
Rapids, superintendent of the North
east Experimental farm, has also
been engaged to speak. No man in
the state of Minnesota is better
qualified to tell the farmers what are
the proper methods to pursue in
profitable dairying and farming in
northern Minnesota. Mr.. Mcclure
has achieved phenomenal success at
the experimental farm and he has
given valuable assistance in develop
ing this section of the state.
Prof. Thomas A. Cooper, professor
agricultural at the University of
Minnesota, and A. D. Wilson, super
intendent of Minnesota Farmers
Institutes, have been engaged to be
present on Farmers Day." and will
deliver speeches on farming, enrich
ing soil, animal husbandry, etc..
While these two gentlemen are,
personally, very little known in this
section, they are thoroughly con-
versant with farm conditions here
abouts and will have something good
to give fair attendants.
All of these speakers will welcome
questioning on farm pursuits, and
have readily consented to come to
Bemidji and assist in making the
fair of 'O9 big success.
