ferent breeds were discussed, not only
by Mr.. White but also by the farmers.
Wednesday morning there was n
session owing to the fact that a great
many of the farmers could not get in
town early enough, but at half past
one in the afternoon the convention
opened with a talk on beef cattle by
MIR. White. Three animals were
brought into the Judging ring and dis
cussed from the standpoint Of breed
ing, feeding and profits. In addition
to the live stock, the subject of corn
was taken up by MIR. Center, and it
was shown how valuable corn is and
that it could be grown very p%rofitably
in North Dakota. Sheep were also
discussed from the standpoint of
breeding. etc.
Thursday. horses and sheep were
considered a second time. This day
four good horses were brought in and
talked on as to weight, looks and
strength by Mr.. levitt. Next alfalfa
was discussed by MIR. Merrill. a form
er government expert. The farmers
took a great deal Of interest in this
talk because Of their interest in cat
tie and they found that alfalfa was an
ideal feed for cattle. The soil, fer
ttlizer. time for sowing and harvest
ing and the grade Of seed was all dis
cussed thoroughly. Aside from al
falfa there was a short talk on sheep
again. A great part Of this time was
given to the experienced men Of the
farmers in thai business.
Friday. dairy cattle, silos, siloage
Vas considered by Mr.. Merrill who
was Very good on this subject and
made his discussion very interesting
to all.
Dairy cattle We're discussed from
the standpoint Of breeding. etc. There
We're a great many questions and facts
given by the farmers present, which
proved to be a help to all who heard
them. In addition to dairy cattle,
siios and silage was talked on by Mr..
peterson. a silo and cement building
constructor. He had a small silo built
on the floor. before the farmers. as an
illustration. and this was a great help
to all. Silage was also discussed by
farmers and this was inter-
esting. Mr.. Peterson passed around
pictures of his work. not only silos,
u also homes. barns and other
buildings. These subjects closed the
convention and every one who heard
the talks and lectures on the different
topics We're we'll pleased and went
away satisfied. they had learned
something of benefit to themselves.
h results Of the convention were
good as far as expense and attendance
We're concerned. Tuesday the number
of farmers or others that attended
amounted to siNty-fve: Wednesday.
seNentN-three: Thursday, seventy.six
and Friday ninety-three.
The expense was borne by the farm
ers. except the hall which was fur.
nished by the business men of Lari-
more. Plans are now on foot for an.
other session next year.

NO PERIL FOR
RURAL RETAILER
New Plan Of Providing For
Editorial Management of
Student" Turned Down

Some excellent advice to the rural
retailer with reference to the parcel
post was given by Anderson Pace, the
Chicago business expert at a meeting
Of the Minnesota Retail Grocers' and
General Merchants association held
yesterday. Danger to the rural re-
taller from the parcel post Is imagin-
AIRY according to the expert.
"a lot of men are sitting around
wearing crepe because they foresee
the demise of their businesses now
that the parcel post is here" declar-
ed Mr.. Pace, but for the mar whose
thoughts are not easily led in the d.
rection Of crepe there is no danger in
the parcel post.
Short.Livcd Ventures.
Because so many have broken into
the mail order business in the belief
that the parcel post spells success for
their ventures the appearance of dan
ger to the small retailer has been
stirred up, but it is the expectation
of the veterans in the business that
their new competitors will have but a
short life.
THE old houses are. I am informed
by sources close to the hearts Of
these concerns. finding the parcel post
q disadvantage. They are finding
that it is costing them more to do
business than before. Their overhead
expenses are increasing on account of
the new system.
Why System Costs More.
"IIow the parcel post is making it
costlier for the big houses to do BUSH
ness is plain. when it is understood
that IL pounds is the limit that may
be sent by it. 1t has been recently
found that the weight of the average
parcel sent through the Chicago post
office is II ounces. It is the necessity
the houses are under of breaking up
into small packages the goods which
they have been sending in large ship
ments that is largely responsible for
the increase in their overhead expens-
es. 1t has been the habit of the
houses to encourage their patrons to
combine their orders for shipping pur-
poses"
Mr.. Pace said the mail order hous-
es were finding it increasingly diff
cult to obtain patronage largely be-
cause of a growing tendency Of con-
sumers to buy at home and do their
shopping in person. In the past few
years the big Chicago houses. he said,
had seen the cost Of securing requests
for catalogues increase from IL to S.
cents. and had seen a decrease in the
returns for each catalogue sent out.
They were under the handicap, too,
said the speaker, of losing 80 per cent
of their customers every two years.
Each Can Improve His Trade.
'The mail order houses are making
a show of being pleased with the par
Gel post" added Mr.. Pace. because
they wish to have 1t appear that they
are impregnable."
Mr.. Pace advised his auditors that
they could retain and increase their
trade by intelligent attention to BUSH
ness. He advised attractive stores,
variety to stock. buying small quaint
tiles Of each line carried. discrimina-
ton in the preparation of advertising
matter. attention to the patronage Of
children with a view to their training
as home shoppers. and battle with the
charge, circulated by interests oppos.
ed to them. that they are unnecessary
factors in trade and are trade para.
sites.

Prize Story on the Recent
Larim0re Farmers Meeting
Mrs. William ]. Bryan.

The following story which was
awarded first prize in a contest con-
Quoted by the Larimore Pioneer was
written by Ray Tice a member of the
agricultural class of the .Larimore
schools. Editor Richter Of the
Pioneer offered a prize of IS for the
best news story on the recent four
days session in that city conducted
for the benefit of the farmers of that
community.
Under the caption THE Larimore
Farmers Hold Big Convention" the
youthful Journalist writes as follows:
The Larimore farmers live stock
convention and short course under
the direction of O. D. Center, district
supervisor Of the Better Farming as
The convention was planned by the
Farmers club of Larimore, which has
been organized several weeks. They
planned, under the direction Of Mr..
Center, to conduct classes in horses.
cattle, both of dairy and beef breeds,
hogs and sheep. And brought into the
hall each kind of live stock to be dis
cussed. In addition to the live stock
subjects there We're discussions on po-
tatoes and potato diseases, clover and
alfalfa, corn. silos and silage.
The first day was given over to
horses. potatoes and potato diseases
and hogs. The subject of horses and
hogs was discussed by F. w. White,
the better farming expert from Barnes
county. Three horses We're brought
scrub. the other two were high grade
horses brought in sixteen miles by
Thos. +. Mooney. The horses We're
used for the illustration of the lee
lures and for the purpose of poiting
out the defects and their causes.
There were a number Of questions
asked by the farmers present and
these We're answered by Mr.. White
who was in charge Of the class.
But the questions were not always
asked of the expert. for often the ex-
pert would ask some farmer to give
his view of the point and his reason
and success with it.
In the forenoon of the first day a
discussion on potatoes and potato
diseases was delivered by MIR. Center.
talked briefly on the different types
OF potatoes and their value and also
on their quality and the things which
influence their quality. The greatest
amount Of time was given to potato
diseases. methods of prevention and
how to combat the common ones that
arc found in the potatoes.
Some Of the diseases taken up and
discussed were Early Blight. Tip Burn,
Stem Rot, Sun Scald, Late Blight and
insect injuries. A good prevention
for injuries done by the potato beetle
was found to be bordeaux mixture and
paris green. Mr.. Center gave the full
for making bordeaux mix
ture. how to apply and the things to
avoid in the use of it.
After the talk on potatoes Mr..
White again took the floor and spoke
the question of raising more hogs
in North Dakota.
For Judging and demonstration the
animals were brought in the ring be-
fore the farmers. Selection and dit
