The Devils Lake world., 1922-11-29
EXCHANGE DAY
'e ENDORSED
BY STOCK men

While the exchange and sale day
put on by the Ramsey County Farm
Bureau on Tuesday and Wednesday
of last week did not prove to be any
huge success on account of the bad
roads and inclement weather, the
committee in charge Of the affair as
well as all of the contributors are far
from being discouraged, and have al
ready decided to put on a like event
next year on the second Tuesday in
October. It was decided. to advertise
this extensively, and make it even
bigger than the county fair if pos
sible.
Among the contributors to the event
here were A. j. Kratchovil of Brock
ct, who brought Shorthorn cattle
and Chester White hogs. His bull
topped the sale at SITS, and was sold
to Tom McBriety of Starkweather.
Mr.. Kratchovil has always taken a
greatapride in his live stock, and
always raises exceptionally good
CotIIC hugs.
Another contributor was Frank
Zbytovski Of Doyon, who brought
some very good specimens of big type
||Duroc Jersey hogs. Six of the boars
from the same litter were sold. The
pig which won the first premium at
the Lake Region Fair last summer
was sold to John w. Maher for 500.
A. ]. McLarty brought Holstein
cattle, and these seemed to be more
in demand among the bidders than
were any of the other breeds. The
top price paid for four-year-old
COW was 1892. Mr.. McLarty was ex-
ceptionally we'll satisfied with the
way his stock sold.
Atherton & Devier and Frank
Reading of Penn brought some fine
specimens Of Shorthorn cows and
bulls, but there seemed to be very
little demand for this breed and they
sold for much less than they were
worth.
Other contributors were Frank Zyb
Of Doyon, who brought Duroc Jersey
hogs, Leo Ryart> of Starkweather
who brought Poland China hogs, D.
:McAllister, who brought two fine
Duroc Jersey boars and l. M. Ras-
mussen, who brought six fine boars
of the same breed. Ole Erickstad
was here with some Shorthorn cat
tie and Poland China hogs, and The
lin Bros, of Hamar brought a fine
speciman of Duroc Jersey sow. James
Ryan of Devils Lake brought Short
horn bull, Chas. Frank Of near this
city, Holstein bull, and Elias Erick-
stad four-year-old bull of the same
breed. Tom McBriety brought a
five-year-old Shorthorn bull.
[ Wednesday evening after the affair
was over the stockmen held a meet
ing for the purpose Of talking over
the event of the day. A talk was made
by F. w. Reinohl of Larimore, presi.
dent of the Grand Forks County Farm
Bureau, and also by John w. Maher

ed to say few words. All present
