Through the courtesy OF he Inter
national Harvester Company OF Am
erica, the second annual North Da-
kota Industril Exposition will present
the widely known lecture, "The Ro.
nance Of the Reaper" the first week
of the Exposition, October / to 5,
inclusive.
The lecture tells the story Of the
progress of agriculture from the earl.
lest times down to the present day,
and it traces the development Of
farm implements and machines from
the reaping hook to the modern grain
binder. The lecture is illustrated
with colored views and motion pic
lures. The pictures show the ma
chimes in operation in the field, and
the audience Is taken on a tour
through the l. H. C. system of plants
where the machines are made. When
We consider the millions of farms in
the United States, to say nothing of
those in other countries of the world,
and the big crops raised on these
farms, we realize thta abe making OF
farm machines is a large and import
ant industry.
The world was never 81 deeply
Interested in agriculture as it is today.
This is true no only of those who
live in the counry-farmers, dairy
men, fruit growers, and stOckmen-
but of hose who live in the cities.
To place before the public a true,
vivid and interesting picture of agri-
cultural development is the aim Of the
International Harvester Company OF
America in Offering the Romance Of
the Reaper"
Much time and money have been
spent in he preparation of specially
colored views and motion pictures.
The tour is both entertaining and
instructive. 1t takes the spectator on
a trip that is delightful, pauses him
with a word Of information, and re-
turns him more deeply interested in
the farm and enthusiastic for the fu-
ture Of farming.

parts, each part about thirty minutes
long and complete in itself. "The Ro-
nance of the Reaper'-three little
