OTHER STATES WILL
FOLLOW NORTH
DAKOTA
Minnesota and Kentucky
) Farm Boys Camp at
Respective Fairs.

The Farm Boys encampment held
under the auspices Of the Better
Farming association and the North
Dakota agricultural college at the re-
cent state fair has attracted attention
not only in this state but throughout
the country. So great was the sue
cess Of the enterprise that the plan
will be duplicated at two big state
fairs, those held in Minnesota and
Kentucky.
Minnesota is 10Y arranging to take
care of two boys from each county
OF the state. They will camp at the
state fair grounds at Hamline in the
SAM manner that the North Dakota
farm lads camped at the Fargo fair.
hi following from the Louisville
Courier-Journal shows the plans
which are being made in that state.
hi idea for both came from the
North Dakota encampment.
1T is to be hoped the farmer boys
of Kentucky will be interested in the
proposition for a farm boys encamp-
ment at the coming state fair in Sep
TENDER.
1T is planned to have a boy pres
ent from every county in the state,
100 in all, and these boys are to be
given a free trip to the fair and to be
supplied with tents and meals free
during the encampment. The object
o&~the assemblage is that the boys
ma have opportunity to attend a
school of instruction in agricultural
matters.
1.-THE boys are to be between the
ages of IL and II and superintend-
ents of county schools are to hold
competitive examinations in order to
make the selection of representatives.
The boy who makes the highest grade
will be entitled to attend the fair.
The examination papers are to be ap-
proved by a member Of the state
board of agriculture and a professor
from the state university"

Replies to letters of inquiry sent to
$50 North Dakota bankers relative to
the probable crop yield in their re-

T%hreshing is not as yet we'll under way,

the harvest fields has beer retarded by
the rain and from these comes the
prediction that threshing will not be
we'll under way until the middle of
September.
Highest Wheat Yield.
The reports show that oats have
panned out as high as se%venty-five
bushels to the acre in a few places,
and the highest wheat estimate comes
from Velva where it is declared some
farmers will harvest as high as forty
bushels to the acre.
More Warm Weather for Corn.
The report on corn is not so opti-
mistic, though it is conceded that more
hot weather from now on would work
wonders.

the railroads will fight the measure ID
