FARM CLUB BOYS
DO GREAT WORK
Through the activities Of the Agrf

Through the activities OF the Agrf
cultural Extension Department OF the
West Virginia University, the Boys
Farm Clubs throughout the state have
Increased very materially the volume
OF farm products. In Marion county
the Keystone Club Of boys had keen
competition TO see which boy could
raise the most POTATOES on oneeighth
acre OF Land. The hamper yield was
that Of Joshua MoCog, 1874 pounds
of potatoes from oneeighth acre
Joshua has Cor two years past been
fhe county prize winner with pota-
toes due IN part to his liberal use
OF fertilizer. His profitable use last
year at the rate Of $500 pounds to
the acre has proved notable dem
onstration to the potato growers OF
Marion county. Such competition as
this has urged many a boy to do his
utmost and study the farm problem
in q scientific manner.

To perfect the organization of the
Willistsn Community Club, Colvin
B. Brown, Chief of the Organization
Bureau of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States will ad-
dress a mass meeting of the citizens
of Williston on Wednesday afternoon
March 5. Will E. Holbein, Secre-
tary of the Minot Association of Com
merce will also be present. The meet
ing is called by the board of direc-
tors of the Williston Community
Club.
Previous to the mass meeting Mr..
Brown will be a guest of the directors
at a noon day luncheon. Following
the mass meeting in the afternoon
a dinner will be served by the girls
of the domestic science of the Will
liston High School. The mass meet
ing precedes the dinner on account of
the fact that Mr. Brown is compelled
to return to Minot early in the even
ing.
We regret that we are unable to
make more convenient arrange
ment, said DR.. T. V. David, chairman
of the board of directors, yesterday.
"At first it was our plan to have the
mass meeting follow the dinner, but
Mr.. Browns short stay in the city
makes it impossible for us to do this.
However we believe the citizens of
Williston will be eager to take this
opportunity to hear Mr.. Brown. We
anticipate that every business man
in Williston and many farmers
from the surrounding community,
will be present because they realize
the Importance Of completing an or
ganization that has had so splendid
a start"

national prominence has recently

ladies repeated their farce comedy
which they presented to the public
here at the church about week ago
and it was we'll enjoyed by the au-
dience.
Wednesday the sale of Hereford
and Angus cattle took place. High
prices were paid for these cattle and
the sale progressed rapidly. The
average for the Herefords were 1915
for the COWS and $305 for the bulls
which was considered very good. The
horses brought an exceptionally high
price.
In closing the sale U. L. Burdick,
president of the Missouri Yellowstone
Breeders Association stated: "1n
bringing to a close what I consider
one of the best and most successful
sales ever held here I want to thank
all visiting cattlemen for the interest
they have taken in the sale and If
there is anyone present who does not
belong to the organization / now take
the opportunity Of inviting them to
join with u.s."
"Not long ago, stated Mr.. Burdick,
this country was inhabitated by only
Indians and buffalo but now it is Re
coming populated by White men and
Pure Bred Cattle. 1t will net be
many years before this section will
be one of the greatest cattle raising
sections in the United States and the
sooner the farmer starts on pure
bred cattle the sooner he will reach
success"

the presentations were completed the

Boston, Feb. 24.-President Wilson

Returning to American soil from
his history making mission abroad
the President, accompanied by Mrs.
Wilson, was transferred in the lower
harbor from the George Washington
and escorted by aircraft, submarine
chasers, torpedo boat destroyers and
a f1otilla of committee boats, reached
the landing place on board the naval
cutter, Ossippee.
The President looked as though the
journey had agreed with him. He
appeared vigorous and alert, his step
was brisk and his features showed
rather more than trace of sea tan.
Cheers Greet President
Cheers from the throng assembled
at Commonwealth Pier greeted him
as he stepped ashore. In the great
shed Of the pier built by the state
and taken over by the navy depart
ment during the war as a housing
place for recruits there were assem-

Fifty senior officers of the army,

Farming should be more profitable

What was termed by those in
charge as the best and the largest
Stock Sale ever held in this part of
the country came to a successful close
last evening when the Missouri Yel-
lowstone Pure Breeders Association
and the Missouri Yellowstone Short
Horn Association finished their an
nual sale here at Williston.
Hundreds of stockmen from all
parts of the country were in atten-
dance at the sale and the cattle sold
for a very high and satisfactory fig
ures. All the hotels of the city were
packed to capacity and after Monday
evening it was impossible for any
outsider to get room at any hotel
in the city. Many of the visitors who
arrived at the sale on Tuesday and
Wednesday were compelled to sit up
all night.
The sale opened on Tuesday with
the sale of short horn cattle. Some
very fine specimens of this breed of
cattle were placed on sale and good
price was obtained for all sold. While
the shorthorn cattle did not bring as
high an average in price as some of
the other breeds the sale of them
was very satisfactory. The average
price for the short horn sale was
$193.2O per head.
On Tuesday evening the visiting
cattle men were entertained at the
Armory Auditorium by the Ladies Aid
of the Congregational Church. The

Farming Must Prove Profitable

And in arriving at the cost of pro-
ducts, the farmer and his family
should be granted salary and wages
equal to that paid in other basic
Industries.
If our nation is to continue to pro-
vide food, raiment and shelter for
our own people and help supply the
needs of our fellow men in other
parts of the world, then we must in
crease the efficiency of the workers
now on the farms and make the bus
mess SO profitable and the life so.
livable as to attract men from other
callings.
Then follows economic, scientific
marketing through government ware
houses and agents, this to be done
at actual cost of men, storage insur-
ance, etc.
Farmers Can Market As Easily
AS to Produce
We hear and read much about CO.
operative marketing. This can be
conducted by the farmers themselv-
es, acting through an organization,
or by means of government agencies,
storage warehouses and municipal
markets.
Any civilization that is long to sur
vive must be built upon the sure
foundation of justice without dis
scrimination, and in conformity to
laws without respect of per-
sons? There must be the largest
possible application of mans labor to
storehouse, that the wants
of humanity may be supplied.
