Bureau presidents in the adjoining
states, outlining the purposes of the
meeting and urging their cooperation
and attendance. County Farm Bureau
presidents and secretaries were asked
to form delegations. Assurances
that delegations would attend have
Heen received from all sections of the
state.
In all the fields, plans to make the
conference the most important ever
held in the Northwest are going for
ward with dispatch. Governor J. A.
0. Preus issued a proclamation,
pointing out the necessity for deter
mining immediate steps which will re-
lieve agriculture from the present de-
preston. The Minnesota Bankers
association is sending out letters to
assure presentation of the viewpoint
of its members. Leaders Of other
business lines are at work along SINH
lar lines.
The widespread interest in the con-
ference was indicated last week when
A. B. Cook, master of the Michigan
State Grange, wrote those directing
organization work, saying that his
organization is heartily in sympathy
with the undertaking and feels GER
tain that results will be obtained.
A long step toward making the con-
ference a success was taken last
week when railroads granted a re-
duced rate of fare and a.31alf from all
points in the Northwest on the GER
tificate plan. Persons attending the
meeting should purchase a one-way
ticket, obtaining a certificate at that
time. When this is validated at the
convention headquarters, it will be
good for half of the return trip fare.
State Commissioners of Agriculture,
to whom N. J. Holmberg sent invi-
tations, have responded, indorsing
the conference and indicating that
many will be present.
"There will be no cut-and-dried So
luton to be offered at the conference"

can be done, and second, the way to
obtain desired results with the least
possible delay. We hope that all in
terested will be present to present
their views. We have not the time
to personally invite all in the North
west who should be on hand We will
welcome anyone who has constructive
ideas.

Collection of

Now Under Way

Grand Forks, Oct. 8-Collection of

according to j. w. Parke, manager
of the federal seed loan office in
Grand Forks.
These government seed loans. he
pointed out, were due October 1, in
this territory.
Although crop yields in some Sec
tions were low this year, the majori-
ty of the farmers, he said, give
prompt attention to their loans and
show their appreciation of the gov
ernmental assistance in supplying
money with which to buy seed. Sew
eral, however, have asked for few
additional weeks in which to arrange
settlement, as they wish to take ad-
vantage Of the present favorable
weather. for the advancement of fall
work on their farms, before mar
keting their produce.
At the present time field men are
employed in the territory to receive
payments from borrowers and in col
lecting evidence to be used later in
cases where it appears that the gov
ernment's rights under its liens and
mortgages have been ignored by the
borrowers, other creditors and grain
buyers.

Is Per Cent of
Dakota Wheat
Grades AS No. 1

Fargo, Oct. 8.-F;fteen percent of
the 1928 wheat crop in North Dakota
has test weight equal to the No. l
grade, 16 percent No. 2, 33 percent
No. 3, Is percent below No. 4, accord
ing to tests of $50 samples made by
one of the largest line elevator con-
Germs operating in the state and re-
ported to c. E. Mangels, cereal
chemist at the North Dakota Agri-
cultural college. Only one percent
of the wheat crop had an average
test weight of GO pounds or more.
The total value Of the North Da-
kota wheat crop at the local elevator
prices for Oct. 3 would be approxi-
mately fifty-two million dollars,
when the prices for the various
grades are applied to the federal es-
timated production of 62,O3s,OOO
bushels of wheat for this state.
The average local price for hard
red spring wheat would be in the
neighborhood of 80 cents per bushel,
all grades considered, and for durum
about rs cents. Durum wheat occu-
pies 38 percent of the spring wheat
acreage of the state, according to
estimates last spring by the U. S.
bureau of crop estimates.
Tests of gluten content made by
number of the large milling and ele-
vator concerns show figures that
correspond very closely to those an
nounced by the North Dakota exper-
iment station several weeks ago, the
average for the state being 1873 per-
cent.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
by Olive Roberts Barton

All day long Farmer Brown had
been out blowing.
"Gee! Haw! Giddap!" the Twins
could hear him saying every now and
then to his horses. Gee! Haw!
Giddap!"
What are they doing?" asked
Nancy.
"They are blowing the field to put
in wheat" answered Mister Dodper.
1T grows some this fall, then it
stays green under the snow all win
ter, and when spring comes it fin
ishes growing. That's what they
call winter wheat"
"Giddap!" came Farmer Browns
voice across the fence again. and
from where they stood, the children
could see Charlie and Bob, the two
nice big farm horses, doing their
best to please their master and earn
the bucket of oats they knew was
waiting for them.
Suddenly there was another
sound. 1t went chug, chug, chug,
Rattle, rattle, rattle, chug!
whats that ?" asked Nick. Really.
the Twins must have thought that
Mister Dodger was the dictionary
from the number of questions they
asked him.
But, as usual, he knew the ans
wer, for he said quickly, That's a
tractor! Farmer Smith, on the next
farm, does not use horses for his
farm work any more. He does all
his blowing and cutting and binding
by an automobile machine caller a
tractor. Come on! Do you want to
see it ?"
OF course, the Twins were eager
to, so all three went over to a fence
corner, where they could watch both
fields.
And whether it was because they
had on magic shoes or because they
had fairyman for company, 1 can
not say, but they soon discovered
that the tractor was talking. Every
"chug" was word, and it was call
ing things to Charlie and Bob, the
nice big brown farm horses. "Good-
ness alive! How slow you are!" it
said. why you started two hours
before l did and I've really done
twice as much as you have! There!
I've been the whole way around the
field again! Why, I'll be through
and home again before you're half
way"
1t went on Boosting and blowing
like that but Charlie and Bob lust
trudged ahead without so much as
word. They were there to work,
not to quarrel, and they tried hard
to please.
"1t's a shame!" declared Nancy.
THAT mean old tractor machine
ought to be taught a lesson"
"Never mind" said Mister Dod-
ger. Pride goeth before fall.
Wait and see."
That evening when Charlie and
Bob were munching their oats, the
Twins heard Farmer Smith call over
to Farmer Brown, "Hey, neighbor,
my. tractor broke down before had
my wheat field finished and it can't
be fixed for a week. Will YOU please
lend me your team tomorrow
"Sure!" said Farmer Brown iblig-
ingly. Mines all finished"
The Twins never could be sure,
but Mister Dodger said it was q fact
that Bob winked solemnly at Charlie
and Charlie winked back just as
solemnly at Bob.
