BE HELD AT DICKINSON
JAN. 81 AND FEB. /.

JAN. 81 AND FEB. /.
| Dickinson, N. D., Jan. 2s.--Arrange-
ments have been practically completed
for the North Dakota Dry Farming
congress, which meets next Tuesday
and Wednesday at the armory in this
| city The morning sessions begin at
10 o'clock. All that is desired now is
reasonable weather and an excellent
attendance of farmers and those in
terested in farming. This invitation,
of course includes the ladies, as their
cooperation will help greatly in the
interest Of the meeting.
These two day sessions have been
well advertised and those who read at
all have heard about the meeting. 1t is
not the purpose of the speakers to
lay down hard and fast rules for the
guidance of farming, but rather to
stimulate and enthuse.
| Agriculture is a noble calling, and
on the whole there is none more
pleasant if those participating have
an enthusiasm for their work But
1t is difficult to keep UP this enthusi-
asm when working alone, and a
meeting of this sort should so fill the
husbandmen with zest and ideals that
his labors will be lightened for the
rest Of the year.
The programme that follows, as far
as the committee knows, will be car
ried out to the letter All Of those
whose names appear will be on hand
ready to take their assigned places
1t is certainly a peculiar former that
will not be able to gain some benefit
and knowledge from this varied and
