NORTHW0OD MEET
A GREAT affair
o. D. Center, Home From
Western Grand Forks
Convention, Enthused.

o. d. Center returned this morning
from Northwood where yesterday he
concluded a four-days' farmers short
course. The course. which was held
under the direction of the Better
Farming association, dealt particular
ly with hog, cattle and horse raising
and the growing of corn and alfalfa.
1T was one of the most enthusiast
Mr.. Center this morning. Despite
the fact that it lasted four complete
days. the interest of the farmers
new waned. They entered into the
demonstration work gladly and will
ingly, and gave us every minute of
the required time. l believe a great
deal of practical good was accom-
plished.
I'VE emphasized particularly the
growing of corn and alfalfa and the
raising Of dairy and beef cattle. Hog
raising ais was given considerable
attention, n We believe we convert
ed many to the cause Many farmers
were convinced that there is great
wealth in hog raising, and l predict
that they will give more attention to
this feature Of farm work.
we gave practical demonstrations
Off fec ratons for dairy and beef cat
tie, and we showed the advantages of
corn and alfalfa. The meeting did
more to work up corn n alfalfa en-
thusiasm than any gathering I have
attended for some time, and I believe
those farmers will do real things
along these lines.
The Northwood meeting was the
last long course we will give in Grand
Forks county this winter. We are
planning several one-day meetings,
however, and cpect to formulate plans
in a very short time" M5a
