Bozeman. Twenty automobiles from
Lewistown, conveyed the visitors from
this city and scores of teams we're m
ployed to take the farmers and their
families from every part of the Basin
to the experiment station.
During the meeting Superintendent
Stevens of the farm and the attend ants
escorted the visitors about and ex.
planned many things relating to sue.
cessful tillage and cropping. In the
afternoon the people gathered in the
big shed which had been fitted up with
benches and a platform and listened
