The recent cattle congress held IN
Valley City last Thursday, Friday and
Saturday has resulted in bringing very
forcibly to mind that the pure bred
stock industry in this and other states
is growing very rapidly and is source
Of profit to those who are in the bust
ness of stock raising. There were en-
hibits of stock from other states as
we'll as from North Dakota and. at the
auction sales held the stock brought
good prices. The show and sales were
visited by large numbers of farmers
and stock raisers from various parts
of the state and most of them have
gone back home we'll pleased at the
success of this cattle congress. This
is the first attempt at having such a
show at Valley City and we must hand
C., S. Brown and County Agent 7. X.
Calnan bouquet for the very excel
lent work they have done in having
the details of the affair to look after:
It has been a decided success and
proves that the farmers are interest
ed and we hear that every year now a
similar cattle congress will be pulled
off at Valley City. This first attempt
was an experiment and the working
out of details of it have been coupled
with much time and labor on the part
of those who have had to put it
through, but they say that next time
it will be easier to pull off and things
will come along much more easily.
The barn men Of Valley City, Messrs.
C. A. Anderson and Maresh, have a
great deal to their credit for the sue
cess Of this congress because without
their splendid help in turning over
their large barns for this purpose we
could not have had the cattle congress
here at that time Of the year. To them
is entitled the thanks of all those who
have the welfare of the farmers and
stock raisers of the state at heart.
This is a step in the right direction,
let US keep it moving and come back
year from now bigger and stronger
than ever. These stock congresses
have a tendency to awaken competi-
ton in raising fine stock among stock
growers and from this on there will
! be more competition and friendly rlv-
airy along these lines. You know a
man feels mighty proud to receive a
fine silver cup or championship
ribbon for his exhibit-and he would
be dead one if he did not get chesty
under these circumstances. We are
, glad the promoters pulled this off so
successfully and hope their future ef-
forts in this direction will result IN
better and bigger gatherings of like
! character in the years to come.

GEO. YOUNG LUCKY

Geo. Young, popular Congressman
Of the Second district is a lucky man.
J. W. Brinton is going to make the
race for congress to oppose Mr..
Young. That of course means that
Mr.. Young will again be congressman
Of the Second district Of North Dakota
and will as ably as in the past serve
the people of this good state at Wash
ington. The Morton County Frmers
Press believes that the Nonpartisan
League will support and with all it's
effect at that, Mr.. Brinton. The Nom
partisan league should support Mr..
Brinton. Mr.. Brinton is a Townley
man from the inception Of the league
and all the success Of the Consumers
stores, the League Exchange, the Bank
Deals, the Sisal Trust and last but
not least the Newspaper Grab Mon
opoly are Mr.. Brinton's personal
achievements in the Nonpartisan
league "side lines. He has done more
to coax the money from the league
members than any leader Of the Non
partisan League and is every way a
qualified Townleyite. Therefore he
should have Mr.. Townley's support.
Mr.. Young has never been guilty
of creating a newspaper monopoly, es-
tablishing Consumers Stores, or any
other medium to slice the dollars from
the farmers that we know of. The
farmers of <eood old North Dakota
should bear these facts in mind and
be thankful that Mr.. Young is again
going to be candidate although the
Farmers Press has no authority to say
that he will be. Mr.. Young will find
that Brinton will seek the support OF
the Second district through the med
ium of the League, but will also find
that the support this league gave two
years ago is much shorter poiltlcal
'"push" and will find Brinton not SO
hard to beat as might be expected

GRAIN MEN MEET AT WASHING
TON

Washington, D. c., March 10, 1920.
"A delegation Of Northwestern men
interested in securing modification OF
the Federal Grain Grades, represent
ing Minnesota, North Dakota, and
South Dakota, called by appointment
upon Mr.. Meredith, the new Secreta-
nv of Agriculture, to urge changes IN
the present law AS upon former oc-
casions, the Northwestern men called
attention to the highly technical char
acter of the grades, which result IN
great losses to the producers, either
upon account Of ignorance on the part
of the buyers, or lack Of sufficient ell
evator bins. The present system was
said to lendl itself to abuses along
both of these lines. Congressman
George NJ. Young of North Dakota
furnished absolute proof that five cars
of No. Northern could be MIXED and
from them get FIVE cars OF No.
Northern. This was, he claimed, on
account of the present system which
marks down the wheat on technlcall-
ties, upon grounds which do not have
any practical weight when the wheat
is run through terminal elevators mill
ed into -four. Congressman Young
characterized the National grading
system as unjust, and unavoidable.
The figures demonstrating how the
results from five cars of No. 3 North
ern wheat could be mixed and pro-
duce five cars of No. Northern, were
tabulated and filed with the Secretary
of Agriculture by Congressman Young
as follows:

as though somebody was terribly
afraid of the cars or this rushing into
print would not have happened. But
blaming it on to the daily seems to be
a popular pastime across the way
right or wrong. The Daily simply
gave report of that convention as it
transpired and we fail to see where
anybody was misrepresented by the
daily. The Misrepresentation comes
from across the way.
The peace treaty is dead one so far
as the United States senate is con-

ious candidates running for the pres
ldency. The treaty ratification with
reservations lost out yesterday by
seven votes of receiving the necessary
