quested to apply to their local station
agents for information on this point.
AS special accommodation for the
crowds the management Of the North
ern Pacific railway has agreed to run
trains at frequent intervals between
Fargo and the demonstration grounds
west Of town. Auto ''taxi" service

Don't Forget Bigness Of Show.
In view of previous publicity it may
be trite again to mention the extensive
and interesting character Of the prep
arations for this first great tractor and
power farming contest ever held here
That between 600 and 1000 acres are
being provided; that probably 100
leading makes and sizes of farm trucks
and tractors will be shown; that every
class of farming machinery is open to
representation and display-all these
facts combine to make this event both
a spectacular and educational one
second to nothing else of it's kind.
Some One Will Get Big Money.
A phase of the exhibit which is
bound to interest foreseeing farmers
is the fact that experienced men who
are provided with first-class draft
teams and good farming equipment
can come to this meeting and find
themselves in line for big cash prizes
irrespective of the question Of whe-
Their or not their work technically
"competes'' with that of the motor
drawn outfits in economy Of cost.
The prizes offered Give for horse
drawn equipment and one for the
best work done by oXen) aggregate a
total of $3.50 and are to be awarded
to the winners in their respective
lines alone. Men winning out in this
competition stand to make anywhere
from $50 to $500 apiece at small cost,
besides seeing a most unusual agri"ul-
tural implement show.
Tractor School Men Will Come.
Tractor school graduates, of whom
there are hundreds in North Dakota
and western Minnesota alone, will be
literally represented in the gathering
of the "clans" intent upon seeing
what the up-to-date tractor manufac-
turing interests now afford. The ar
ray Of self-propelling power machines
here shown offers a chance Of lib
eral education in the outward aspects
of tractor lore, plus the more minute
and intimate details which are always
gladly explained to interested inquir.
ers by the operators and exhibitors in
charge. AS a postgraduate. course for
tractor men,. 1t is generally admitted
that the present opportunity cannot be
excelled.
Hundreds Of Exhibitors Present.
No survey of the importance Of the
event, as local gathering, is at all
comprehensive unless it recognizes
something of the size Of the army Of
skilled tractor and implement men
who will be present either in charge
Of or to aid in the presentation of tho
various exhibits. Interviews with
hotel men indicate that hundreds of
reservations have been arranged for
by this army of workers, each Of
whom is planning to bring some in
formation for the enlightenment of the
public as to the merits of his particu-
lar line. =: a. ~ -%
