The Northwest Farmstead says:
The greatest agricultural meeting of
the year in the northwest was held
! at Fargo, N. d., January 1920. The
| The Tri-State Grain and Stock Grow
| ers convention just completed one of
the most successful efforts since it was
| organized. All sessions We're held in
| the operahouse and presided over by
| President Worst of the Agricultural
| college. He said: 1.-THE Tri-state
Grain and Stock Breeders convention
! is the greatest of it's kind in the United
| States. The association is unique in
| that there is not another in the country
| organized on the same plan. Our as
| sociation does not even have consti-
! tuition or bylaws, and every man who
attends is member and can say what
/ ever he pleases as long as the other
| members do not kick him out. The
| grain growers and stock growers Of
| Minnesota, North Dakota South Da-
kota have met annually in Fargo for
the last twelve years and there has
never been the least friction among
| those in attendance.
| No man who attends the Tri- State
|
that delegates are not in earnest. They
know what they come for, and the ma
| jority mean business. However there
are few that come for recreation and
| others for a good time. Whether they
come to get information, to rest or to
celebrate does not matter. 1t is good
to get away from home for few days
and see new faces, to meet strangers
as well as to greet old acquaintance
and exchange experiences of the past
season. Those who attend seeking in
| formation, and those who are in the
| majority, are the ones who will derive
the most benefit. All are not interest
ed in the same line, for many have
some particular hobby. They are able
to gain much interesting information
and secure facts that might assist in
making more advances in the future.
Speakers are Practical.
| The speakers all talked of long, sue
| cessful and practical experiences. Many
are farmers, and others are making ag-
riculture life study. Some epitomized
| experiments and the experiences of a
| lifetime along certain lines of investi-
cation. Others illumined dark spots
| and added to the store of knowledge
gained by them.
The continued success of the Tri-
State convention is monument to the
enterprise of the promoters and the
| progressive spirit of the farmers and
stockmen of the three great states.
The fact that they attend year after
year indicates that there must be
some inspiring motive, some great adj
vantage to be gained. One of the lead
ing members in the convention said, Il
have attended every session and do not
| feel that could afford to miss single
day." President Worst is to be con-
graduated, because it is largely
through his enthusiastic support and
hard work from year to year that these
conventions are successful. He has
been ably supported by the faculty of
the college of which he is president
In order that this force may keep its
shoulder to the wheel the continued
cooperation of the farmers of this
section is called for.
A Big Scheme.
No better educational scheme could
be devised, whereby farmers of the
three states could so easily keep pace
with scientific and practical ideas on
agriculture. Every year they gather for
the exchange of ideas and views, and
to listen to the findings of those who
have made life study of some specific
subject. The wide range of subjects
is also a valuable collaboration of d.
versified interests and gives some in
sight into the amount of study and
