Some of the topics are treating seed
grain, seed corn selection, cost of
ploughing with tractor, ETC."
The speakers to present these talks
are A. G. Tolaas, A. d. Haedecke, C. D.
Patterson, Ben Cole and two ladies,
Lucy Cordiner and Josephine Cred
man, M. r. Benedict. y
The Mapleton talent will be in the
nature of an entertainment such as
readings by Helen Pomroy, solos,
Lloyd Morrow and readings by Mrs.
James Coggershall. The ladies SEX
tette will also sing on Saturday.
As this is the first time the seed
