Fergus Power at GracevilIe.

Wheaton Gazette Reporter Grace
vile held a special election last week
and by nearly unanimous vote de-
cided to sell the city's electric light
plant to the Fergus Falls power COM
pany. the latter to supply Graceville
with electric current hereafter. The
company expects to take up the same
proposition with the citizens of
Wheaton next season. it being their
plan to build and maintain a circuit
running from Fergus Falls to Herman
and Morris, then along the Brown
Valley branch to Graceville. turning
north from there to Wheaton and
Wahpeton and back to the central
plant at Fergus. This plan insures
uninterrupted service as if anything
goes wrong on one line the current
can be sent around on the other. Our
neighbors to the south having decided
to install the new service, their ex.
perience during the next year will be
followed with interest by the people
here, as conditions in the two towns
are much the same. When the pro.
position comes up here next simmer
our Graceville friends will be in
position to give US facts CLEANED from
actual experience that will prove q
great help in determining what is best
for all concerned.

EDITOR HOARD's IDEA.
Montevideo Man First to Start
Farmers Institutes.

Dispatch Near the very edge OF
the speakers platform at each session
of the West Central Minnesota De-
velopment association at Montevideo
several weeks ago sat an old, gray
haired man, his hand cupped to his
ear, listening intently to every ad .
dress and discussion. He had no part
to play on the program. Unobserved
by nearly everyone and known only to
a few, he came only to listen.
BRILLIANT ADDRESSES GIVEN.
Brilliant addresses on different
phases of scientific agriculture were
given by specialists of national reput-
alton. There were discussions of far
reaching Importance. not only to the
state but to the nation. The meeting
represented elimination of the epoch
al movement for better farming now
surging over the land from coast to
coast, movement unprecedented in
the history of agri culture.
"Who is that gray haired old man
who sits so cloAe to the platform each
day." was asked of prominent man.
"That old man?" was the reply.
"Oh, he's an editor of one of the To-
cal papers. -

He was more than that. In his early
days he probably had done as much
as any living man to advance the
cause of scientific agriculture. Un-
known to PERSONS present this old
man had drafted the first bill ever
presented to a state legislature grant
ing government aid to travelling insti-
tututes or short courses in farming.
1t was the seed which he had sown
thirty years before that at least part
tally eliminated in the meeting he
was attending. Had the honor he de-
served been done him he would have
been given a permanent seat on the
platform.
The old man was H. E. Hoard,
editor of the Montevideo Leader, and
brother of ex governor Hoard of Wis
consin. Ever interested in agricul-
ture, Mr.. Hoard attended the annual
meeting of the Northwestern Dairy
men, s association at Mankato, MINI.
in 1883. He was then living al
Montevideo. With him as delegates
to the convention were P. R. Nettle'

Agricultural society, and Captain A.

SIMILAR MEETING PLANNED.

heCOfn1nR 60 MOnGeVIQ0O from the
convention, these three men deter
mined to hold similar meeting at
Montevideo, although on a smaller
scale: meeting where the farmers
could gather and listen to specialists
in farming for two or three days.
Similar meetings had been held for
teachers, which were called "teachers
Institutes" yet since this meeting
was to be for farmers the suggestion
was made that they be called "farm-
ers Institutes. - Seventy five dollars
was raised by local subscription, and
the institute was held several months
later.
AS result of this first institute
$50 farmers were called together for
two days to attend the meeting. A..

agent of the st. Paul railroad furnish

Next year the institute was repeated.
So valuable were the results that
Mr.. Hoard determined to agitate their
extension thru state aid. He sub
mitted bill to the legislature of
1885, through a Chippewa county re-
preventative. The bill called or the
appointment of a state farmers insti-
tute board, and an annual appropria.
