Fifteen directors of the CONNER
cial club will sit down to banquet
served in the high school by the do
nestle science girls to the directors
and the men and women who are
coming here with the 500 line agri-
cultural special on Saturday after
noon. Following the banquet an I'M
formal smoker for all of the bust
ness men of Bemidji will be held in
the Commercial club rooms.
- This plan of entertainment for
the visiting specialists was decided
upon at a Commercial club meeting
Tuesday evening after an hour OF
discussion as to the best means at
the command of the club. A formal
banquet was proposed but it was be-
lieved that a meal prepared by the
domestic science girls would carry
more appeal. Each one of the direc-
tors is to have one of the visitors: as
his guest.
In order to thoroughly advertise
the special and to get personal IN
vitations to each farmer, Secretary
Baer was instructed to have 500
postal card announcements printed
and mailed to all farmers in, this sec
ton of the country. In addition to
the cards mailed out by the CONNER
eial club, A. E. Nelson, instructor in
agriculture in the high school,. has
sent out post cards to list OF farm
.ers and to the teachers of every rural
school. :...'.
AS the special train will be open
in Bemidji from 3<=to p. m. Satur-
day, it is believed that every farmer
within a radius of ten miles will
come to the city to see this model
farm on wheels. The 500 train was
prepared by professors in the state
University who are not only expert
farmers but also expert extension
workers. The cars are being fur
nished by the 500 line but the ex-
hibits are taken mainly from the
state University. The train is COM
plete farm from the barn to the kit
chen.
The train consists of eleven cars
nine of which are filled with exhibits
One car is used as a sleeper for the
travellers, one is used for forage and
one is fitted up as lecture car. Be-
tween twelve and fifteen experts are
with the train and during the two
hours on Saturday that it will be
open these men will demonstrate the
new farm methods and tell of better
ways to work Beltrami county soils
President Vincent and Dean Wood:

been urged to come Friday and Sat

day in Bemidji..
The train will be the most com
plete travelling farm that has eve
visited Bemidji and the Commercial
