Farmington.-The farmers short
course which was held at Pennington
was one of the largest in the state this
year. The local committee, working
under the direction of County Agent
r. C. Pollock, attempted to make ar
rangements to accommodate the
crowd, but the corn, live stock and
domestic science rooms were not large
enough to seat one-half the people. On
one day 41O people registered in the
different departments. Ninety-five per
cent Of these people were from the
farms.
The live stock for the short course
was furnished by the farmers of Da-
kota county. The beef cattle were fur.
nished by the farmers farm which
has one Of the best Shorthorn herds
in the state.
The corn show in connection with
the short course was great success.
There were over ;2GL entries. The
farmers clubs furnished all the pre-.
miums. AS a rule the business men
of the different towns furnish the pre-.
miums, but in Pennington they are
not asked for u cent, though they
would gladly give if called upon. The
farmers financed the entire course.
