Sheep Entries Will Be New
Glass for Competition
This Year
RURAL SCHOOLS ARE
TAKING KEEN INTEREST
Parents Are Asked to Encour-
age Their Children in
This Crop Display

Various schools in the county have
already entered contestants for the
Bows and Girls club work for 1920
and Harry J. Olin, instructor in agri-
culture at the Bemidji High school
and leader in the county club work,
urges that other schools send in their
entries as soon as possible. A great
deal more work in this line is being
done this year than ever before, and
it is specially urged that even more
be done in the future. Parents are
requested to have their children sign
for the contests. Efforts are being
made to put on a sheep contest this
wear. About 20 pupils have already
signed up for this work. AS a spe-
cial inducement, the Beltrami County
Fair association has offered about $50
in prizes for those pupils who exhibit
sheep at the fair.
Two Lucky Boys.
AS a result of last years contests,
two boys from this county are going
to make trip to the Minnesota state
fair this year, to the farm boys camp,
with all expenses paid. The lucky
bows to make the trip are Byron
Benson of Bemidji, who won out in
the gardening and canning contest,
and Fred Webster Of Nebish, who
was the winner in the county potato
contest. Such a trip should be a
great incentive to the boys and girls
in the schools Of the county and
should urge them to join in the club
work.
