MANY LOCAL BOYS
TO AID FARMERS

II every city in the state is sending
as large a quota Of men into the fields
as Grand Forks Is. farmers in North
Dakota will not be without assistance
during the summer months. 1t is re-
ported that at least 900 boys will leave
Grand Forks during the coming week,
and a number already have gone.
The announcement that men en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits would
not be subject to call. evidently ac-
counts for the sudden liking for farm
life that has been developed among
city men, since the passage of the on.
scription bill. From the North Dako-
ia university a big delegation will go
into the rural sections OF the state,
over so already having given permits
sion to take their departure, while as
many more are willing to accept full
credit In their subjects and follow the
pillow.
