pure bred hog business.
There is n thing that the Nom
partisan league has not wrecked in
North Dakota, and that is the hog
business" said H. p. Gregg of Mound,
MINI, who judged the animals.
Every herd exhibited here is high
class stun and the exhibitors could
lake them n so into the Interna-
err exhibitors a hard run for their
money The big feature of the show
is the number Of outstanding indi-
viduals in almost every class"
Mr.. Gregg is manager Of the Wood
End farm of Mound. Mimi, located at
tho head OF Lake Minnetonka. The
best herd, OF Berkshires in the west,
ON h Wood End farm, and 1t is a
herd bred and developed by Mr..
Gregg.
Eighteen years ago Mr.. Gregg went
into the pure bred hog business. He
bred Berkshires and by going into
state fairs in various commonwealth
and getting in touch with people and

the greatest hog raising businesses In
the country. In those eighteen years
he has sold over 100000 worth OF
pure bred Berkshires. r
Work Does It.
What 7 accomplished in those
eighteen years any young North Da-
kota. breeder can accomplish, If he
will only work and stick to it through
thick and thin. In that time I've had
more champions and more first prizes
than any breeder in the central west,
and there is no reason why others
should not do the same.
III the North Dakota farmer will
take the SIG he pays to A. c. Townley
and put another SIG with it, he can
buy q pure bred pig right at this show
and take it home. If he will stick to
his pure bred hog breeding, he'll for
get all about the Nonpartisan league
and will be a lot happier and much
more prosperous.
I've been over 16 states in the las
eight weeks, investigating the hog
business, and I've found that there is
a. vast scarcity of pigs. Now is the
time to go into the business, and If the
young North Dakotan only takes ad-
vantage Of his opportunity, he'll never
regret it."

They won over the senior yeariing
boar owned by Paul Trelstad Of New
Ellington, S. D. The fight in THU
class was unusually close, the judges
said. Investors Colonel showed prac-
Hcally as smooth as a spring pig.
F. A Green & Son Of Stephen had

Der OF prizes in the futurity. F. c.
Rector Of Lisbon was another heavy
winner in the futurity.

Frank Krafka and Sons of Havana,
N. D., won. practically all frsts in the
Chester Whites. They were heavy
winners in he futurity, too.
Poland Chinas.
There was a well balanced Poland
China show. Only four herds were
entered, but they made an excellent
showing. The state futurity in this
class was held at the Fargo fair last
year, which accounts for the small
number of herds entered. The quality
OF animals exhibited is exceptionally
good, however.
Exhibitors worked under some Diff
fculty in the judging pens Tuesday
because Of the extreme heat. Judges
and exhibitors said that next year the
fair association ought to provide
shade for the Judging pens.
