PLAN TO ATTEND
The plans for the first annual
meeting of the North Dakota Dry
Farming Congress to be held at
the Dickinson armory, January 81
and February 1. 1911. are develop
ing very we'll indeed. The meet
ing promises to'be much more Of a
success than it's best friends dared
anticipate. The only thing to make
the meeting the most successful,
from the standpoint Of agricul-
ture, ever held in the state is a
heavy representative attendance of
farmers from all over the state,
and especially from the western
portion.
SPEAKERS AT YOUR SERVICE
The farmers should realize that
the best experts and investigators
of North Dakota and Of other
states will be at Dickinson on the
above dates for the benefit of
those engaged in agriculture.
These men are at the services of
the farmer; they are devoting
their best trained efforts in the
study of special farm problems.
In addition they know the farm
from practical standpoint.
DIR. TAYLOR WILL BE PRESENT
The names of g number of speak.
ers have appeared in these COL
umns previously. At the present
time we have the pleasure Of
announcing that DR.. W. e. Tay-
lor, the noted soil expert of Min
neapolis will be here and speak
upon various topics. Among
others he will speak upon various
soil culture. seed selection. how
to conserve moisture in the soil,
and how to retain it, and also how
to prepare the seed bed and main
tain the fertility of the soil.
Mr.. r. F. Flint of Bismarck.
state dairy commissioner, will be
present and will give short talks
upon: the subjects in which he is
expert. Mr.. E. S. Delaney of
Valley City. N. Dak.. committee.
man of the international Dry
Farming congress, will be in at
tendance also.
PLENTY OF SPEAKERS.
Altogether there will be on hand
fourteen or fifteen men. leaders
in agricultural progress and
thought, and our readers may rest
assured that the meeting will
fairly bristle with ideas of value
to the farmer. Hitherto all the
large farming meetings have been
held in the eastern part of the
state. Here is an opportunity of
western North Dakota to show
that this portion of the state is
thoroughly alive and awake.
POSSIBLE RATES.
Efforts are being made with the
Northern Pacific to get reduced
rates for this meeting for at least
portion of the state. Even
without reduced rates there should
be at least three or four hundred
actual farmers in attendance al
the meeting. All the farming
experts of the country might be
gathered together. but if there
were no farmers for them tc
turn their guns on the meeting
would result in little value. Ar
important part Of the meeting will
be the value that the farmers get
in talking with their fellow
farmers.
FARMERS SHOULD ORGANIZE.
This is a day Of organization.
The farmers remain unorganized.
The need Of this is sharply felt
and if the interests Of agriculture
are to advance as they should the
farmes must organize. Meetings
such as these are the starting
points of organized movements
Farmers, come out, attend thil
meeting. and do your duty tt
yourself, to your family and t.
your fellow farmers. No cos
whatever is attached to thi,
meeting except your travelling ant
hotel expenses.
