DEMONSTRATION FARM WORK

CBetter Farming Special Service) .
Grand Forks, Sept. with the
growth and development of the work
Of the Better Farming Association the
demonstration work will broaden and
in addition to smaller demonstration
fields and plats, the demonstration
farm will become one of the units of
operation. Secretary Cooper informs
the Better Farming Special Service
Bureau at Grand Forks that while no
demonstration farms are yet in opera
tion in the state, there is every pros
pect that this feature of the work will
be taken up next year. The Associa-
ton proposes to begin with few of
these farms, the farmer agreeing to
follow instructions as to the operation
of his entire farm and as to the feed
ing, care and management of his live
stock: Naturally only a few farmers
can be co-operated with along this line
which represents the most complete
form of demonstration work and will
be only attempted with men who are
ready to accept and put into practice
the instructions given. ss
The requirements are ~ Farm so
located as to be easy Of access. (2)

A RAILROAD ON ICE.

Grand Forks, Sept. 6.--North Da,>
kota will have railroad on ice for a
few months at least if present plans
are carried out in connection with the
extension of the Plaza branch across
the Missouri river into Nick Kenzie coun-
ty and thence into Montana. Grand
Forks railroad men report that the
work of bringing construction mater
ials into Mckenzie county is no small
task. The Missouri river cannot pre-
sent obstacles that cannot be over
come without great expense. So in
stead of attempting to ship overland,
the railroad will build track across
the river on ice this winter and will
use the rails afor the transportation
of all kinds of construction material
even to the locomotives and steam
shovels which will be used on the
other side of the river in Mckenzie
county ~ T. ..5.e,552%: ~
Two big bridges will be constructed
across the Missouri river for the Great
Northern and 500 lines into Mckenzie
county and both will represent a vast
outlay of money. Bridging the Mis-
souri, is no small task as was shown
at Bismarck where engineers were
successful after long efforts in con.
structing a great bridge span that is
one of the most costly on the entire
Northern Pacific line. ~ ~
