OOyS from the Ot0ef counties IN the
state who were receiving special atten-
ti0n and special instruction in Better
Farming methods at the state fair.
Each county was to send at least two
boys and there were almost 100 camped
on the grounds. Lectures were given
every day by the faculty of the A. C..
and the exhibits were thoroughly ex-
planned. The boys enjoyed the trip i'm
mensely besides gaining a great deal of
valuable information.
W. r. Bryan came down Monday
from Belfield on the local, taking the
limited in the afternoon to Wausau,
Wisconsin, where he has a two-story
building used as a wholesale fruit house
that was in the flooded district of q
few days since. The building was
strongly constructed and did not take
any injury. but the II inches of rain
which fell in "a hours washed out por-
tions of the lot and Mr.. Bryan has gone
down to see what repairs are needed.
The gentleman is a large farmer south
west of Belield. having between 900
and 1, 900 acres in crops this year. Two
years ago he sold $40. 600 worth of flax
from 400 acres of land. Last year his
wheat average was not large but this
season it is very good, giving promise:
of large returns.
1t is said that C.. W. Colgrove who
farmed on a large scale in the Halliday
country. has 4, 900 acres of fine flax
crops in the Flasher country this season.
His father, A. L. Colgrove of Mime
apolis, is farming nearly l.. 900 acres in
Dunn county this season. Mr.. Colgrove
was out for " weeks in the spring
and left Henry Weirnaeer in charge of
the help. Manager j. B. Dickson of
the Dakota Development Co. near Hal
liday was in the city two or three days.
the first of the week on account of his.
hail loss on the 18th of July. He had
insurance and was particularly anxious,
to get an adjustment on section 7 so.
that he could pillow the stubble under at
once. There has been a lot of rain in
northern Dunn county this season, al
most too much at times. Mr.. Dickson,
has about 2, 200 acres in crops this year
and the probabilities are that this enor-
nous grain crop will be marketed at
Taylor. The new road from Stanton
comes to the mouth of Goodman creek
about IS miles southeast of this big
farm, but it does not look now as,
though the Northern Pacific would get it
ironed in time to take out the crop, at
least not until late fall.
Attorney T. F. Murtha expects to
leave the first of the week as delegate
to the national convention of the
Knights of Columbus at Colorado
Springs. The other delegate from North
Dakota is John J. Hannaher of Fargo
and the gentlemen are expected to meet
in Minneapolis for the trip. Mrs. Muir
tina had expected to accompany her hus-
band as far as the cities on this trip.
In fact they had both expected to get
away about the middle of the week but
things were somewhat upset by Mr..
Murtha's going to Schafer on Wednes-
day on an important legal matter. The
convention is the annual one of the or
der and promises to be the greatest
gathering of Sir Knights that ever took
place. not eve excepting the great.
gathering in the city of Washington
during the unwilling of the monument
OF Christopher Columbus which took
place early in the spring. 1t begins:
Monday. August 9th. and will continue.
for six days. There have been many
excursions arranged for the delegates;
and among them is one to Pixies peak.
There will be another excursion to Dem
yer. and up the Moffat road to the top
OF the mountains. The people Of Colo
RADIO Springs have spared neither time
nor money to make this the best meet
ing ever held by the Knights. re-
