Young Mems Congress
Boys Showed Keen Interest
When Center Talked
Professor Martin Gave Fine
Talk on Dairying

''The interest shown in the talk OF
o. D. Center of the Better Farming
association, at the farm boys camp at
the state fair grounds this morning,
means $4,000 acres OF alfalfa for
North Dakota next year." declared a
prominent Fargo business man and
farm owner who had listened to Mr..
Center's address. He continued:
'I have never seen a lot Of farm
boys SO deeply interested as they
were in the talk on alfalfa. They
asked many questions and received
just the answers they are looking for.
The present year there are about 81
900 acres OF alfalfa in this state and
know that the boys who were at the
class this morning will go home de-
termined to raise more alfalfa next
year"
The alfalfa class at the farm boys
encampment this morning proved the
most interesting of all the classes
held thus far and the boys showed
that they are keenly interested in this
subject.
Mr.. Center, who is the better farm-
ing expert for Grand Forks county,
was called upon to answer questions
regarding the type OF soil, preparation
of the land, whether to disc or not.
how to handle the alfalfa and hay
and seed. probable length of life Of
field, innoculation and yield per acre.
THE boys were loaded for me"
said Mr.. Center after the lecture.
They knew a whole lot more about
the subject than thought they did,
too. 1t is pleasing me very much to
see the great interest taken by these
boys in all farm subjects. think
more questions were asked on the
ious subjects which have already COW
cred many important phases of farm
life and work"
talk on dairying by Professor Mar
tin of the state agricultural college.
Cows representing four prominent
dairy breeds were taken out of the
barns and exhibited before the boys,
making splendid illustrative material.
The speaker said that the boys must
select the right sort of dairy COW to
make success of the industry. The
type regardless of breed, the expert
said, must be long in body, have a
large feeding capacity, with promi-
nent veined udder and one that shows
a good constitution and not "pimp."
Other better farming experts who
lectured before the boy farmers this
morning were A. r. Borchart OF
Stutsman county, who talked on farm
buildings. and w. A. Peck of Ward
county, who took up the subject of
farm management.
Gov John Burke will address the
boys at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon.

home coming day at the fair and it is
q genuine gathering Of the clans.
From the front gate to the grand
stand little groups of men and women
are gladhanding each other in true
American fashion. In many cases
pioneers from various parts Of north
ern Minnesota and North Dakota, who
have not met up for long time,
are getting right close together at the
state fair today, talking over old time
days when fairs and high dives were
almost unknown and when fighting
Indians was the chief diversion.
Cousins, sisters, uncies and aunts are
those sweet nothings that mean so
much to a relative who has been
separated from his dear ones and has
some home to see North Dakota's
greatest agricultural show. This is
the best homecoming ever and the
cordial welcome being extended to
visitors on all sides comes directly
| from the heart and is passed along
from the ticket taker at the main
entrance to the red capped boys who
sell programmes at the race track.
Practically all Fargo business eon-
Germs Large and small-closed at noon
today and hundreds of employees, rep-
resenting nearly all lines Of industry,
have Joined the merry throng at the
fair grounds this afternoon.
This is certainly one big day at the
fair, q second Fourth of July, to be
topped OFF tonight by the finest pyro-
technic display ever offered in the
northwest.

Swept by cool breezes from the
north and canopied by clear sky, the
state fair grounds today is an ideal
spot for the gathering of thousands Of
North Dakotans who have come to
celebrate Fargo and Moorhead home-
coming day. the old settlers reunion
and the jollihcation Of the fraternal
orders.
The first cars to the fair this morn
ing were packed and the crowds con-
tinue to enter the grounds at lively
rate. The biggest crowd in years was
predicted for today by fair officials
this morning.
Evincing the good fellowship and
boosting spirit that exists between
Grand Forks and Fargo, a big dele
day and viii remain on the show
Grand Forks tonight Many OF the
Forks Commercial club and prominent
business men of that city. They are
being shown about the fair by Off

day had been specially set aside for
the good people of that section of
the state.

PROGRESSIVES OF
IOWA MEETING

Des Molnes, Ia, July 24.-With the
preliminaries disposed OF at the dis
trict caucuses during the forenoon.
the Iowa progressives were ready to
act upon the platform which is ex-
pected to endorse the candidacy Of
Roosevelt for president. When the
first Iowa state convention OF that
party opened this afternoon early in
dications were that almost every
county in the state would have dele
gates present when Temporary Chair
man Frank Randall Of Cedar Rapids
began his keynote speech.
The usual convention procedure was
altered by the provisional officers in
charge, and instead of a morning ses-
sion at which committee announce
ments are made, the temporary chair
mans speech was heard, and adjourn
ment was taken until the committees
can formulate reports. Only one ses-
sion this afternoon was provided for.
Under this arrangement IT was ex-
pected the temporary organization
would be made permanent.
