Grain Growers Convention

Editor Courier Democrat
The four days of the grain growers
convention held ut Fargo last week were
filled with interest from start. to finish.
Unfortunately for myself l had CON
siderable other business to look after
and could not help attending the big
democratic doings held in the Gateway
City at that time. This latter is an Of
fairs Of such interest that l expect your
paper will at this or some time in the
near future devote the space to which it
is properly entitled. Before taking up
the thread of my subject I will say
that business and politics were the
cause Of me missing some of the most
valuable sessions of the grain growers
convention. I was pleased to find that
l was not alone from Cavalier county
and recall having met at the v
ton Dan F. Mcdonald, Ed. D. Stewart,
William Dew,rDr u. w, H. Porter, Dun
can Sillers, Dan Hart, Fred Borousky and
Attorney Cleary, all drawn Ether 9
by the big double attraction-the grain
growers convention and the big state
meeting of democrats. But just think
of it; The finest convention of the state
held for the special benefit of farmers
and only nine to represent Cavalier
county and take advantage of it. We
cannot we'll afford to pass up such
splendid opportunities. Other people
areDnot passing them up as was testified
to by the fact that the halls and OK.
position rooms were crowded all the
time. Two lectures we attended we're
worth along all it costs to attend the
four days of the convention. One O
these lectures was by President Elliot
of the Northern Pacific on Tho Relation
oe. the Railroad to the Farmer and the

There we're three sessions OF the
convention each day. One from nine to
twelve in the forenoon; another from one
to six in the afternoon and the other
from seven to nine in the evening and it
is a satisfaction to note that all the
available rooms both sitting and stand
ing, was taken up at all the sessions
during the four days. Every phase of
farming, both in theory and practice
was talked of by experts and all of the
more important points were brought
out BY: questions from farmers in the
audience. How to start and. grow
alfala and clover?" "Why We should
grow more and better crop Of grasses?"
How to grow more wheat, oats. and
barley to the acre?' "How to improve
our grades?" "WbyDwe should grow
corn?" The killing of weeds and the
conservation Of moisture?' "The cul-
ture of trees?" "How to systemizes u
work and the business OF the farmer?'
In fact everything that an u~p-to.date
farmer ought t o know wa talked, 81. by
men who. have made a deep study of
the subjects. / am sure that a letter on
the convention by Mr.: D.. F Mcdonald
would be of great interest to our farm
ers, especially bearing on the question
of stock raising, as be is known to have
always been deeply interested along
that line.
When the time for holding the grain
growers convention of next year rolls
aronnd I hope that Cavalier county
will be better represented. 1t would
be nice to have that convention know
that Cavalier county is still on the map.
Our county wasrepresented in the corn
exhibit of schools Of the state lby
Robert Mclean, of Hannah, his exhibit
being awarded the fifth premium: in
Flint corn, The corn exhibit was
really fine and I think every variety
that is grown was to be seer there. ]
was'surprised to learn that the acreage
ofcorn in North Dakota in 1911 was 452,
900 acres and the number of corr
harvesters in use 2,40O. 1t must be tina,
they are doing a bigger corn business
in other counties than we are
and they say that we a grow more
wheat by putting %ope-fourth of the
ground into corn than we can by sowing
it all to wheat. Every question tina,
was discussed seemed very important
one. z
Fargo is rapidly becoming known al
the convention city of North Dakots
and the people of Fargo do everything
possible to make it pleasant for visitors
This year they had an industrial show
that was very creditable, and l under
stand represented all the manufact turtles
in the city. 1 hope TO hear through
this paper from some Of those who az
we'll as myself were fortunate enough
to attend the grain growers convention

again. l am sure mother will think we
are able to take care of ourselves when
we tell her about this adventure"
Yes, indeed" answered Rolly.
These old cats are not so hard to fool
as mother tries to make us believe.
Let us run out and get at that bag of
meal, for 1t must be getting near the
time for mother to return"
Neither of these silly little mice
thought of looking out of the hole,
they only thought of the meal. SO
Frisky ran out first and no sooner
had he put his head out than Tabbie
Grey tapped him with her paw and
called her kittens, who soon put an end
to poor Frisky.
Rolly was so close behind his brother
that he did not have time to hide him
self and Tabbie Grey caught him and
held him fast until the kittens took
him in hand, and that was the end of
him.
Now, my dears," said Tahbie Grey
to her children, Il hope you will let
this teach you a lesson. Those silly
little mice thought they were able to
take care of themselves and they did
not mind their mother and stay at
home, as she told them to do. but as
soon as she was away they ran out by
themselves, and you see what happened
to them, so be warned by their fate
and always mind what I tell you, and
do not think you know more than your
