are sure to come up when the peo-

the Richfield farmers are not un

to be the beginning of wider and

that districts and county officials
will offer sufficient local prizes to g

Few were surprised when, at the
republican primaries held in Rich
field Saturday. an outspoken Roose-
velt delegation was selected to at
tend the county convention at Ru-
pert, on Friday of this week, March
22d. Only one ballot was cast Civ
ingbTaft first choice, and only two
for second choice Out of the 80
ballots cast Roosevelt got "a firsts,
LaFollette 8, Cummins 1 and one
did not express presidential pref

exclusively of Roosevelt men--neces-
sarily, becase no one was able tc

had been wished for a delegate. 1t
is a fair CESS that, while no other
precinct in the state will be able to

date, te Richfield vote may be taken
as indicative of the farm vote of the
state.
The delegates are: Chas. J. Lisle,

Public instruction has been work
ing to encourage vocation work, es-
pecially elementary agriculture, in
the rural schools Of the state. At
last, with the aid of the Agricul-
tural College scheme was devised
which is meeting with hearty ap-
proval and support throughout the
state. 1t has been decided to have
potato clubs throughout the state.
1t is hoped in every district Of the
state. The boys and the girls form
ing these clubs are to raise 500 hills
Of potatoes; the prize winning pota-
toes in each district to be sent to
the county fair; the first four prize
winners to be sent to the state fair
for the sweep stakes prize.
Professor Olin, director of the ex-
tension department of the Agricult-
ural College, has been working
on bulletin, giving full directions
as to the formation of the clubs, the
preparation of the seed bed, prepar-
alton of the seed, the cultivation of
the plant, and the care Of the crop.
