a history of agriculture in the United
States and told of the establishment
OF the first agricultural college in
Michigan in 1850 and of the land
grant" bill introduced in 1862.
Henry VII. of England passed a
statute in 14SS to prevent the acquisi-
ton of large land holdings, in order
to prevent land formerly titled from
becoming idle and unproductive. Half
q century later the English law shows
a quaint statute providing a penalty
to be imposed on all who kept more
than 1000 sheep. This trust-busting
attempt apparently did not work, for
in 1897, it was necessary to enact a
new statute"
President Elliott predicted a won
derful growth for Minnesota and the
two Dakotas in the next 10 years.
ITO build a greater and more pro-
ductive agricultural state is your task
or the demands of the next generation
cannot be met" said he.
The awards for the corn show were
made and $1,000 cash, the first prize,
was given to Noel Thorpe, 10 years
old, of Mayville, N. D., who was given
the grand champion sweepstakes for
the state out of more than 700 ex-
hibits.

TO MEET AT FARGO
Norwegian Lutherans to Hold Annual
Convention.

SSbVStISIOus
Fargo.-Fargo gets another v
ton. The United Norwegian Luth-
eran Church of America will hold it's
annual convention here, either begin
ming June 6 or June 10. This will
be one of the most important gather
ings of the year in North Dakota and
will bring from 1000 to 1900 people
here from every section of the United
States.
1t was largely through the efforts
of Secretary Slime and President
Hardy of the Commercial club that
this meeting was secured. They have
been in touch with the leaders of the
church for some time, impressing on
them the good points of Fargo as a
convention city.
The final decision was made at a
meeting of the committee in charge
at Minneapolis. Pres. T. H. Dahl of
the church association sen the in.
formation today that Fargo had been
finally accepted as the convention
city.
The convention could not have come
to Fargo had it not been for the fact
that this city will have at that time
. building large enough to take care
of their great crowds. This building
will be the Sunday tabernacle, which
will also be used for the Saengerfest.
