WILL COMPLETE
FOR BIG CASH PRIZES GIVEN AT
EXPOSITION. OPEN TO NORTH
DAKOTA FARMERS

Exposition Will be held at Madison
Square Garden, New York City, Nov
ember to 12,1911, and it is intend
ed to be held annually thereafter.
The purpose of the exposition is to
provide space to exhibit the products
of American soil; to give the people
of the farm and country, as well as
town and city dwellers, thorough
demonstration of the agricultural op-
portunities in America and to depict
the progress of agricultural indus
try up to it's present high point Of
achievement.
A demonstration of the various
products of the soil of the northwest
in New York City is a new thing,
and the advertising value of splen-
did agricultural and horticultural ex-
hibit from the territory between the
Great Lakes and the Pacific Ocean
will give great impetus to coloniza-
ton, and will tend to increase land
values. This will be the first op-
portunity ever offered to farmers of
the Atlantic seaboard to learn about
the soil and soil products of our
northwestern country, without max
ing a preliminary transcontinental
journey to do so.
For the first time in the history of
America, at this New York Land
Show, there will be songs of the
soil and the prize irrigation ode rem
dered daily by chorus of 200 voices
one of the finest choral organtza-
tions of America.
What Part Will the Northwest Have?
Every man who makes his home
in the territory between the Great
Lakes and the North Pacific Coast
should have keen and active inter-
est in seeing that our great north
western section is adequately and
properly represented. The northwest
must take as many of the prizes to
be offered as it possibly can, for just
to the extent that the northwest fig
ures prominently among the exhibi-
tors and comes out with honors, to
just that extent will the people Of the
world look to this section with ad-
miring eyes and with disposition to
locate here.
This is a great opportunity to ad-
vertise the northwest in the heart
of the over-crowded east, and at the
very gateway to our country. Let us
tell the people, not only in the Unit
ed States, but of Canada and the en-
tire world, what magnificent pro-
ducts can be raised in our great sis
terhood of states from the Great
Lakes and Upper Mississippi Valley
to the Coast.
The winning of these prizes will
benefit not only the northwest as a
whole, but each prize taken will be
a great benefit to the locality which
earns the prize. It will mean the
boosting of land values. 1t will mean
the directing of special attention to
your section. It cannot be too strong
ly emphasized what this opportuni-
ty means to you and your commune
ty. If you secure prize at this ex-
position it will stamp you as the big
man in your community, and it will
also stamp your community as fav-
ored one in the northwest, and last
ly, will direct attention and arouse in
terest in the entire northwestern
United States.
