graduates and former students OF
the North Dakota Agricultural col

back to the farm and are now en-

Of the state and in practicing i'm
proved farming methods. Most of
these graduates are actual farmers;
the others are farmers wives.
These figures which show the

only 1868 have gone into other trades
or industries. The counties included
in the completed list are the follow

Richland, Stutsman and Towner.
Of the SO per cent who are not
engaged in farming, many are teach
ers in the public and high schools,
engineers, architects, pharmacists,

l.. H. Connolly of the Mandan club
delivered "Defense Day" talk in
which he explained the plan for a
demonstration of the ability of the
nation to master it's resources in the
event this should be necessary. Mr..

not militaristic in nature.
N. D. German, county agent lead
err, of Fargo, talked upon the work
of count agent and said there was
a great need for county agent in

1t would be necessary to have about
! 200 acres of land, were the dam
placed at this point, Mr.. Roherty
explained. He said tests had shown
hard clay forms the subsoil at the
point of the proposed dam, and that
it could be built easily. 1t would be
necessary to make it "a feet wide
on top to carry the road, he said.
This project, it is estimated would
cost about 100000.
A dam could be built about one
fourth mile back from this site, at
probably half the cost, he said.
Methods of financing such prof.
ect We're reviewed. They included
building it by private capital and
selling lots along the lake which
would be created, building it as a
city park or as an irrigation project
by the government. A fish hatchery
could be maintained so that the
waters could be stocked with fish, it
was said.
