PLAN TO ERECT EXHIBIT
BUILDING AT CROOkSTON

During the past few weeks there has
been inaugurated in this section of rhe
state a big movement which will do
much toward stimulating greater pro-
duction of livestock in the Red River
Valley. Representatives of the Red
River Valley Livestock Breeders As
ISOLATION, Northern Minnesota Poultry
Association. Red River Valley Develop
ment Association. and County Farm
Bureaus, held meeting last week. to
discuss plans for the erection of per-
manent livestock exhibit building in
Crookston and for holding a big winter
livestock sale during the Farm Crops
Show Week. .---z
Such a building will do much to de-
velop in this section an added interest
in livestock production as the Red Ri
yer Valley is destined to be a great
livestock section. 1t is expected the
movement for the erection Of this
building will meet with the support OF
all the organizations in the Valley.
The committee which is to secure
plans and to ascertain the cost of land,
ETC., will report at the summer meet
ing Of the Livestock Breeders and
Development Associations to be held in
Warren, June 20 and II. A building
similar to that in which the Winter
Live Stock Show at Brandon is held
will meet the needs Of Northwestern
Minnesota.

CROPS AND THE WEATHER.

Generous showers fell in this locality
last Sunday and Sunday night. The
rain appeared to be general. Supplied
with plenty Of moisture the crops
await warmer weather to produce
rapid growth. The COOL weather,
nevertheless, has the advantage Of
causing the wheat to root firmly, thus
insuring a strong and vigorous plant.
Never since farming began in the Red
River Valley have crops looked better
at this time of the season.
