Interest In Train IL Keen.
That the farm institute special will
do a world of good in North Dakota
is unquestioned. Yesterday farmer
and his wife were approaching the
exhibit car. On one was the sign
Horses, Cattle, Sheep, Swine"
"There's the car I'm interested in,"
said Mr.. Farmer, then turning to his
wife, he asked, want to come
along?"
"IIl go with you if you won't be in
too big hurry when you come to
the things I want to see," said his
frau.
"what car is that" queried her
husband?
"The Home economics car and
poultry"
That was the way the people came
to the train. Their minds were made
up as to what departments they
wanted to CLEAN knowledge from.
When they had satisfied themselves
there, they would proceed during the
remaining time through the rest OF
the train.
"Come on, bunch" yelled a husky,
sunburnt tiller Of the soil to five or
six more of his companions. "We1l
start at one end and 60 clear through
the train."
That was the way they did, and as
they made the trip to the various
exhibits and listened to the lectures,
demonstrations and talks by farming
experts they picked up ideas that
will be put into practical use and add
materially to the future prosperity of
the Missouri Slope and the state OF
North Dakota.
