1t would be impossible to find q
prouder company OF. boys than were
seen on the race track this afternoon
when the boys from the farm boys
camp led the prize winners in the
great stock parade. Because Of their
great interest in live stock the fair
oficials chose the boys for this honor
and their. appreciation was evidenced
in no small degree by the care taken
by each boy to show his animal OF
to the best advantage. While one
Of the results Of the parade indirect
ly showed to the great crowds the
number and character Of the boys
attending the camp it also showed
quite vividly what can be done in
North Dakota in the raising Of stock
1t is more than probable that the
lesson learned here will influence the
members Of the camp to raise stock
seemed possible. '''sr+-r5 .-er-
