FAIR PROSPEROUS
Wells County Organization Finds
Years Work = Success.

Fessenden, N. d., Dec. 30.-The an
nual netting Of the stockholders OF
the Wells County Fair association was
held in this city with thirty-five per-
sons present. representing a majority
of the stock. The reports Of officers
were read and some routine business
gone over. The report of the secre-
tary showed that during the past year
the disbursements were but slightly in
excess Of the income, a showing some-
what surprising considering that the
last fair was held at a. time when con-
ditions were anything but favorable
from financial standpoint in this sec
ton
The matter of the disputed purse
for the county race held at the last
meet was thoroughly discussed from
every standpoint and handled without
gloves from both those who held to
not allowing Of the claims and
those who thought the payment obi
gatory upon the part of the associa
ton. This and other matters took 4
greater part Of the afternoon, and as Ii
was impossible to finish the business or
the meeting at one session, the men.-
bers present seemed to think it best ts,
adjourn until a later date when every
shareholder should be present The
date agreed upon was the second Tues
day in February.

Liverpool, Dec. S0.-There was ex-
IRENE dizziness at the opening with
prices unchanged. The better demand
from the continent and the strength in
Paris caused some support with an inn
proved demand from millers and these
offset the closing lower trend in Amer
ica yesterday. After the opening there
was pressure on the lower closing at
Buenos Ayres and the continued fine
weather there and prices lost bQA
with the undertone easy. Argentine
shippers are Offering at Az decline
from yesterday with some reports here
that the damage claims from Argen-
tine are exaggerated. Just before the
close there was some little covering
and the decline was checked with holi-
day support owing to the expectation
of light American shipments this week
as shown by Bradstreets and firmer
Manitoba offers. At the close the mar
ket was dull and unchanged to n low
er than yesterday. Corn was nomi-
nally unchanged with the market neg"
Iected. Broomhall.

He must conserve moisture. raise big
ger crops and keep down the high cost
of living.
Millions of Horses Added to Equipment
"All Of this the farmer believes. AS
fast as machinery for doing all These
things has been perfected he has taken
1t and done what he could. Lack OF
power has been his greatest draw
back. He has added at least 5000, 900
horses and mules to his equipment in
the United States in the last ten years
He has increased the weight of the
ordinary farm horse ESQ to 300 pounds
in fifteen or twenty years. But need
for powers has increased far faster
than has the power. For the big farm
er and the ranchman the power needs
are being met to a large extent and
with a fair degree of satisfaction A
tremendous amount of power farming
machinery has been sold into the north
and northwest. 1t has been stated
that $4,500,000 Of power machinery was
sold into the Canadian northwest dur
ing the past year, and 1t is probable
that q greater amount was disposed
of in the United States. The big
farmer and his needs are being rapid
~ and generally cared for. but the
small farmer has not received ade-
quate attention.
MIR. Brandon discussed at length his
idea Of the small farm tractor, in
sisting that the man with 100 acres
had right to demand the manufac-
ture Of an implement light enough for
him to haul grain to town. with a
speed of from ten to twelve miles an
hour, and heavy enough to pillow, run
his saw. feed grinder. and, in fact,
every belt propelled machine consist
emily used by the small farmer at a
moderate cost. He said the machine
should be made so that it could haul
load on its own body without the
necessity of drawing several wagons.

LOSES WAGON ON
OVERLAND TRIP

Linton Record: A letter from Man
uel Elwess to Linton friend shows
that the overland trip of the Elwess
family from Linton to Otter Tail coun-
ty, Mimi, was not without incident.
They went overland with two wagons.
When they got down in Dickey coun-
ty the roads were so bad that they
left one wagon and put double teams
on the other wagon. After reaching
Otter Tail county Mr.. Elwess went
back to Dicley county for the vehicle
but could not find it, and when the
letter had been written nothing was
heard Of it.

CLAY COUNTY
POTATO GROWERS
GENERAL MEETING or THE AS
ISOLATION HELD THIS AFTER
NOON, ORDER or BUSINESS,
AMENDING BYLAWS, DIsTRl-
BUTTON or TRADEMARK SACKS.

Pursuant to call q general meeting
OF the Clay County Potato Growers
association was held in the rooms of
the commercial club this afternoon.
President Huntoon was in the chair
and there was a representative attend
ance and a quorum SO that the BUSH
ness to be transacted could be done.
1t has been found that there is q
slight omission in one of the bylaws
Of the association and that will be
cured by the adoption of a proper
amendment at the annual meeting.
The matter of an equitable distribu
tion OF trademark sacks was discussed
and plan was agreed to.
Action was also taken on the matter
of the commission men of Kansas City.
mixing culls with pure Red River Wall
ley Ohios, and the mixture sold as pure
Red River Valley Ohios. 1t has been
known that the Kansas City potato
men have been buying culls and pure
Ohios on the Clay county fields sep
arate and then mixing them to suit
their own sweet taste on arrival at
Kansas City. 1t is believed that the
cure will be by publicity and putting
seedmen on the alert.
Another matter was the one OF the
proposed permanent exposition of the
products of the several counties In
terested under the auspices OF the
Northern Minnesota Development as
ISOLATION at Minneapolis. according to
suggestions made in a circular letter
sent out by w. r. Mckenzie, the as
sociations commissioner and secretary.
President Huntoon of the potato assoc
citation and the commercial club Of
Moorhead has undertaken to take
charge of the exhibits as they are as
sembled and forward them to the show
room at Minneapolis.

Eusninn Grain Latter.

Chicago, Dec. 3O.-Wheat-Our mar
ket opened today steady to firm and
has ruled very strong in tone through
out the session, the trade being Of
moderate proportions but selling pres
sure being extremely limited. The
Minneapolis market reversed its action
of yesterday and was the strongest of
all the markets. The southwestern
markets ruled firm, receipts at St.
Louis, Omaha and Kansas City being
$4,000 bushels as compared with 49,
900 bushels last year. During the lat
ter part of the session, the December
delivery showed pronounced weakness
on liquidation by scattered longs. The
general undertone to the market seems
to be of rather a firmer nature.

TOO MANY CRITICS
FOR POOR FARMER
PRESENT NEED is FOR MORE
PoWER-LlGHT BUT POWERFUL
MACHINE is NEEDED ON THE
100 ACRE FARM-oTHER NEEDS
or TO- DATE FARMERS.

st. Paul Pioneer Press: With the
election of officers last night following
a banquet at the Hotel Ryan the last
business session Of the American So
ciety of Agricultural Engineers closed
and the delegates today will be the
guests of the local committee on per-
sonally conducted tours to the state
farm school and various points Of
interest in the twin cities.
The following officers were elected:
President H. w. Riley of Cornell uni
versity; first vice president, J. b.
Bartholomew, president of the Avery
Threshing Machine Co. of Peoria, Ill;
second vice president, L. w. Chase,
professor of agriculture of the Uni
versity of Nebraska; secretary, G. o..
Reed of the University of Illinois;

About thirty guests were present at
the banquet. The business meeting,
the reports of officers, tellers, standing
committees and special committees
were made during its progress. The
reports of the committees covered the
work of the last year and showed the
society to be growing and the work
of the agricultural engineer also to be
recognized as a coming factor in the
everyday life and needs OF the up-to-
date farmer.
All Give Farmer Advice.
In discussing the subject, The Small
Farm Tractor, yesterday afternoon, w.
J. Brandon of Peoria, ILL.,, said in part:
About the most insistent demand
that comes from the farms today,
aside from the demand for the scalps
OF the middlemen and the trusts, is
the call for more power. The depart
ment of agriculture. the agricultural
colleges. experiment stations, extern
sion departments, agricultural papers,
James J.. Hill and even President Taft
point out to the farmer at every turn
that he is raising less an acre than
ever before. In scornful tone they tell
him how he is not running his bust
ness as 1t should be run Two-thirds
OF the population of the United States
are admonishing the other third that
it must hustle around and raise big
ger crops for the other two thirds to
eat The bankers and railroad presi-
dents advise the farmers, with a calm
certainty and confidence Of statement
that is inspiring, that he must pillow
deep and deeper, he must pillow early,
that he must fall pillow, disk and har-
row. He must haul lime and fertilizer
