DIR. SPILLMAN TO LECTURE
AT FARM BUREAU MEETING

Dr. w. J. Spillman from Washing
ton, D. c., will lecture at Minot5 on
January 26th, at 1880 p. m.
DR.. Spillman is recognized as an au-
thority on agricultural subjects thru
out the world. He has edited and pub
lished a great number Of scientific
educational bulletins relating to plants
and plant breeding, American grasses
and other topics which are used as
authoritative references in all coun-
tries.
He also has memberships in the
leading agricultural and scientific So
cieties of America. Has been agricul-
turist in the U. S. Department Of Agri-
culture at Washington, D. c., since
1905, and Chief of the Bureau Of Farm
Management since 1915. He is now a
member of the editorial staff of the
Farm Journal Of Philadelphia, one Of
the best and fairest farm journals in
the United States.
Under his direction experts have
been studying farm problems includ-
ing farm credit, farmer control Of
farm prices, and cost of production,
results Of which studies are being pub
lished by the U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture from time to time. These
will be the topics he will discuss at
this meeting. 1t is seldom we get an
opportunity to hear discussion Of
these live subjects by man of DR..
Spillman's ability and no one who has
the slightest interest in successful
farming can afford to miss this.
The meeting will be held under the
auspices of the Farmers Institute,
State Department of Agriculture, in
cooperation with the Ward County
Farm Bureau, and will be free to all.
Do not miss it and don't forget the
date, January 26th, at 1880 p. m.

DIR. LADD TO BE GIVEN BIG
RECEPTION IN WARD co.
DR.. Spillman and Other Speakers to
he HOnOred by Banquet

The Ward County Farm Bureau has
made plans to cooperate with the Mi.
not Association Of Commerce in giving
a banquet in honor of DR.. Ladd and the
other speakers at the Farm Bureau
convention and institute to be held in
the Minot High school auditorium Jan.
26th.
Detailed plans are being worked out
to make Jan. 26th one of the biggest
Farmers days Ward county has ever
had. At 900 o'clock in the morning,
the Ward county moving pictures, also
the state pictures from the State
immigration department will be shown
houses.
The program will start promptly at
1:30 p. m. and during the afternoon
a short business session will be held
during which time the new Executive
board members should be present and
take an actcve part in nominating the
new Executive board.
DR.. Ladd will speak in the afternoon
on marketing conditions, discussion
which will be of vital Importance to
every farmer. In view Of the fact that
DR.. I4add is member of the Commit
| tee OF Seventeen, now working on
plans for marketing wheat, which is
hoped will eliminate speculation and
furnish more stable market, for that
product.
The banquet will be served in the
Association Of Commerce rooms at
600 p. m. at which few short talks
will be made by DR.. Ladd and DR..
Spillman. DR.. Spillman will be the
main speaker of the evening with G.
w. Randlett, superintendent Of the
Extension department, and U. l.. Bur-
dick, president of the State Farm Blu
reau federation, also on the program.
! Every Farm Bureau member and
every farmer of Ward county should
make their plans early and endeavor
to be at this meeting, as Dr.. Ladd goes
to the Senate in Washington on March
4th and the farmers will probably not
have an opportunity to hear him speak
for some time.
