Let me call you attention to the
program of our daily meetings. For

travelled widely not only over the
whole of the State of Minnesota, but
also into other states where he has
been called to address farmer meet
ings, will have charge of these meet
ings. C. E. Brown of Elk River,
Minnesota, one Of the best corn and
potato experts in the country, will
have charge of the corn work on the
program. He is very clear cut,
forceful speaker, and will tell more
in short time about the practical
Improvement of corn, potatoes, and
small grain than any other man we
could have got. In getting Henry
and Brown, we have secured the two
best men the State can hire, to talk
on the problems of the live stock
farmer. Forest Henry sold over 49,
900 worth of hogs off his farm last
year, and his monthly cream check
averaged $3.50.
