The different departments are
in splendid shape now and

The splendid increase in the

The individual reports of the

show that the advance in

That the pork production con-

one of the most constructive
live stock movements ever
started in the state is the
opinion of O. u. Center, the
expert from Grand Forks coun-
ty. In speaking Of this contest
Mr.. Center said:
1t is a conceded fact that
where livestock has once been
introduced and records kept as
is the plan in this contest, the
grower of stock develops an at
tachment for animals and dis
position to grow greater NUM-
bers Of better quality. This
attachment is no temporary
thing but grows az years pass.

coming generation of North
Dakota citizens is most whole
some.,
There is at the present
times no less than one-half a
hog per acre in the state. If
by this contest the number of
hogs in North Dakota can be
increased to even one hog per
acre, our wealth will he in
creased not less than two mil
lion dollars annually. This in
crease comes without apprecia-
able production in the income of
our revenue from grain, since
these hogs will scarcely con-
sume more than the present
waste.
Aside from the pecuniary
effect, there is the more import
ant educational benefit accru-
ing TO the boys and girls who
are contestants. This effect
extends beyond the contestants
themselves and is felt by every
member of the family. The
simple records that are to be
kept form habits of accuracy,
economy and thrift. These
habits together with an inter.
est in animal kind that cannot
fail to develop means more to-
ward assurance of future ad-
vance and prosperity of North
Dakota than we can now dare
to predict"
