question whether it will Alright itself
or not.
The feat has been performed but
three times with the parachute
jumper coming out of it alive. Bags
of sand were used to perfect the feat
and an idea of the squeamishness Of
the stunt can be obtained when it is
seen that 800 bags Of sand were sent
crashing to earth before the aviator
learned to send the load toward the
earth In the correct manner.
Grand Forks is the first place, out
side of st. Louis, in the entire United
States to have the spectacle pre-
sented. The fair management is
paying a high price for the act, feel
ing that North Dakotans want some
thing new n original to see. and
thousands will undoubtedly be at
tracted here to see the parachute
jumper f1irt himself into space, hav-
ing n chance in five of reaching the
ground alive.
No Stranger Here.

Grand Forks. He has been jumping
parachutes for ten years and eight
years ago made two leaps in Grand
Forks. He has also appeared in
other North Dakota. cities and is
known all e the country as one of
the very best in the profession.

and numerous other questions that en-
ter the mind Of the youthful agricul-
turist.
The alfalfa class was followed by a
study OF dairying conducted by Pro-
fessor Martin of the AGRICULTURAL col
iege. Mr.. Martin urged the boys to
select the COW that shows a good con-
%stitution for the dairy animal and not
the "pimp." He suggested the LONG
bodied COW with a large feeding
city and a prominently veined udder
and admonished the bows to select the
dairy type regardless of the breed.
representatives of four prominent
dairy breeds were taken from the ex-
hihition stalls and used as Illustrative
material for the benefit of the class.

campment yesterday was concluded
