and also lectures on live stock; c. E..
Brown, Of Elk River, speaks on farm
management and farm crops; Miss
Mary L. Bull, teaches domestic sci

T. A. Erickson, who has charge Of the
Boys and Girls Club work in the
state, was present. His first talk
was on Standardization Of Seed and

tension division is present. He ad-
dressed joint meeting in the court
room this afternoon on farmers clubs
and modern farm conveniences, that
was much appreciated. .....sss
Mr.. Nelson's lectures on livestock
are demonstrated by the blooded ami
mails brought here from the agricul-
tural college for that purpose and by
cattle brought in by local stock rails
ers. Great interest is being taken in
these demonstrations which are be-
ing held at the Warren Auto Com
pany.
The domestic science lectures are
held in the grand jury room at the
court house and are attended by a
large number of interested women
and girls.
Mr.. Brown delivered an instructive
lecture on "Corn" this morning at the
city hall and at the close there was a
general discussion of the subject. The
excellent samples of corn displayed
proved conclusively that this part Of
