FEED THE PRAIRIE CHICKENS

Prairie chickens are probably~th
most important of the bird life Of
North Dakota. Birds are the best
friend of the farmer. they eat many
times their, weight in insects in a
year. We're it not for birds. human
life would not be possible "n the
earth. They destroy more insects
than all other agencies combined.
70 Stewart Lockwood of the North
Dakota Agricultural College sug-
gests that during the winter it is a
good plan to feed the prairie chick.
ems. One way of doing this is to
keep a place free from snow and on
this scatter table crumbs, screen
ings or. grain every day. If there
are no cats or dogs on the farm, the
chickens will come closer to the
house than otherwise. = Feeding
the prairie chickens in this way
will also make them more apt. to
stay on that particular farm than if
they are allowed to shift entirely
for themselves. ...

n. P. CONVENTION
/. At CROSBY MARCH Il |

The delegates to the Nonpartisan
convention to be held for the pur-
pose of endorsing candidates for
public Office received their notices
last week announcing that the
meeting would be held at Crosby on
March II, at the court house, and
that same would be called to order
at ten o'clock iii the morning This
convention will be held for both
Burke and Divide counties, which
compromise, this legislative district.
Three candidates for the Office Of
representative will be endorsed by
the farmers at this meeting to be
voted on at the June primaries.
The senator holds for four years,
and none will be elected this year.
The PRECINCT committeeman also re-
ceived NOTICES to appear at the same
time and place to perfect county
organization. lay plans for the COM
ing campaign. and decide whether
Or not a county manager be em-
ployed.
After the convention for the en-
dorsing of candidates for the office
Of representative is over. the Burke
and Divide county delegates will
separate, and convene in separate
halls for the purpose of deciding
whether or not the league should
enter county politics this year. In
case it is decided for the best inter-
ests of the farmers that a county
ticket also be endorsed, such en-
dorsement will be made before the
meeting adjourns. 1t is doubtful
;f All the business can be completed
in time so the delegates can return
to their homes in Burke county on
the branch train the same evening,
and it may be necessary for them
to stay over until the following day.
It has been suggested that the work
can be completed II a night session
be- held, so the Burke county farm
ers might return on the Great
Northern and get off at Lignite,
Woburn or Coteau and drive home
Many people will wonder why the
Burke county convention should De
held at Crosby. outside the county,
but the reason for this is to save
the farmers as much expense as
possible. 1t is necessary for the
two counties to hold a joint session
IN order to endorse the candidates
FOR representative. and as the same
delegates act at the district conven-s&
lion as what act at the county con-
vention it saves much time and ex>
pense to get the whole thing over !
with at one time. The holding of
two conventions would cause the
delegates a double expense, which
would be unnecessary. --
