The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1915-12-16
BOYS SHORT COURSE IS
Unparalleled SUCCESS
Almost Two Hundred Bottineau Coun-
ty Farm Boys Attend First Annual
Short Course in This City.

Nearly two hundred strong,
the brain and Drawn of Botti-
neau county's young men are
guests of the city this week at
the Bottineau County Boys
Short Course in Agriculture,
given under the auspices of the
county commissioners and the
Bottineau com mercial club.
The attendance so far exceed
ed the most sanguine expecta-
tons that for a time it was
feared that there would be
difficulty in accommodating all
those in attendance. However,
private homes have been
thrown open and the city's
hotels and cafes have provided
extra facilities so that all were
taken care of.
A. p. Henderson, better
farming agent, who has had
the entire management of the
big affair in hand, has worked
untiringly and is to be COM
mended for the capable mannet
in which he handled the situar
ton.
The sessio ms were held in the
spacious assembly room at the
School of Forestry and the
visiting boys, incidentally had
the advantages of the modern
conveniences afforded at the
institution. 1t is the first time
that manv of the boys had had
occasion to visit the state in
stitution and judging from the
many favorable comments, it is
likely that many will return
later for a regular course at the
school.
The Boys Short Course has
been more than an unqualified
success. 1t has been a revela-
ton, and the enormous inter
est shown assures this as an
annual affair for Bottineau.
Every day has been crowded
with instructive work under
| the direction Of Better Farm
| ing Agents A. +. Henderson,
]. NJ. Humphreys, w. A. Peck,
J. w. Haw and DIR. Don Nc
Mahan. State Agent Cooper
also attended the meeting and
assisted in the work.
In point of attendance this is
perhaps the biggest Boys
Short Course ever held in the
state, which speaks volumes
for the progressive spirit OF
| Bottineau .ounty's fu u e
farmers.

of arrivals it has been impossi-
bic to keep a complete record
