MANY TO ATTEND
FARM CONVENTION
GREAT FAILS WILL BE MECCA
OF FARMERS WHO BELIEVE
IN COOPERATION.
Representative Farmers From Every
Section of the State Will Exchange
Views as to How to Increase Acre.
age and Improve Conditions of
Marketing Produce.

The largest farmers meeting eve
staged anywhere in the state will b,
held in Great Falls during the weel
beginning February 4, according tt
Herbert M. Peet, editor of the Euuit,
News, who is one OF the leading spir
its in arranging for this farm con
gress
The object of the congress is t(
bring together representative farmers
from every county in the state, anc
give them an opportunity to exchange
views on such subjects as how to in.
crease the farm production for nex1
year, how to improve the marketing
of farm product, how to bring the
city consumer and the farm producer
closer together, and how to secure
just and fair legislation for the farm
business
Farm Organizations.
Though the congress was original
ed by the American ociety of Equity
whose headquarters are in Great
Falls, it is an event in which the
Grange, the Farmers Union, the Ma
tional Nonpartisan league, the Ma
tional Administration, the tate Agri-
cultural college, and the Great Falls
Commercial Club will participate.
Mr.. Peet says that the committee
on arrangements has been promised a
speaker to represent the National Ad-
min1stration. This speaker may be
Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary of
agriculture, or it may be Herbert
Quick, chairman of the federal land
board. There will be at least one
governor present, and it is more than
probable that there will be two-and
both here on the same night. During
the week three prominent college
presidents will address the congress,
as well as half dozen other men
whose names are almost household
words in the northwest.
Hoover May Come.
An effort is being made to secure
Herbert Hoover, the National Food
administrator, but the possibility of
his presence here depends entirely on
whether he accepts a like invitation
to speak before the Idaho farmers at
their meeting the last week in Jan
uary. Mr.. Hoover is too busy to give
lectures in person throughout the ma
ton, but it is thought inasmuch as
he has two invitations from the
northwest, the dates SO close together
that he will avail himself of. this op-
portunity to "kill two birds with one
stone" If Mr.. Hoover does not come,
he will designate his substitute as the
National Food Administration will
surely be represented on the pro-
gram.
