marck Corn Show
BIG MEETING is HELD
Farmers and Townspeople
Celebrate Victory at North
Dakota Corn Show

Sargent county is coming after the
corn cup next year.
More than 1900 people of that
county flung their challenge in the
face of the rest of the counties of the
state on Wednesday when Secretary
A. F. Bradley of the first North Da.
kota State Corn Show held in Bis.
marck in January presented to the
county the L. B. Hanna sweepstakes
cup won by Sargent county.
Many, speakers, being Informed
that to retain the cup permanently
a county must win it twice in sue
cession, declared that Sargent coun-
ty exhibitors, would be at Bismarck
next winter with better exhibit of
corn than ever, intent on winning the
cup again.
The celebration held in Sargent
county in connection with the pre-
sentation was declared a huge sue
cess by Mr.. Bradley, Commissioner
of Agriculture J.. A. Kitchen and
Commissioner of immigration j. NJ
Devine who went from here. Prof.
Arvold of the Agricultural College
represented Mr.. Hanna.
A community luncheon was served
at noon and at night there was bf H.
quet at which the visitors from out
side the county and the success sful
corn show exhibitors from Sargent
county, were guests. There were
1000 to 1900 people in Forman, Il
town of 400 people, for the all-day
celebration. In the afternoon a
meeting was held in the town hall
when Mr.. Bradley presented the cup
which was accepted by c. H. Cooper
chairman of the board of county COM

owe discovered an effect of the
corn show we really did not appre ci-
ate," said Mr.. Bradley. |sEhe whole
of Sargent county was brought to-
gether in the first big community
gathering ever held there, and they
plan to work together in the future
for the county's benefit. The same
will be done in other counties, we
believe. 1t is one of the biggest ac-
complishmentss of the corn show"
The big silver cup will be exhibit
ed in the various banks of Sarge mt

achievement for the county anG a
challenge to corn growers to keep

FARM BUREAUS
SCOPE WILL BE
EXTENDED SOON
Business Men and Farmers
Ought to Work Together,
Says A. J. McInnes
POINTS OUT PROGRESS
Says Farm Bureau Has Rem.
dered Real Service in POul-
try and Horse Shipments

The scope of the North Dakota
Farm Bureau Federation will be ex-
tended in the near future. A. ]. Nc
lnnes of Valley City, president, said
here today.
"Thc Farm Bureau is going to be
reorganized along broader lines" he
said. IL do not see why many bust
ness men should not join the bureau
because it's problem is an economic
problem, and the interests of the
farmer and business man are the
same.
"At first the farmers did not want
the business men in it, and the busi-
ness men didn't want to join. But
that spirit is changed with both
now"
A meeting of the executive COM
mittee will be held soon to work out
the plan, he said. A big southwestern
meeting is planned here later.
Mr.. McInnes said the Farm Bureau
had done lot Of good work the peo-
pie know nothing about. The organ
ization, he said, has been leading in
cooperative marketing endeavors. He
pointed out that last fall the Bur-
eau shipped seven carloads of pr ul-
try comparatively at a profit for the
shippers.
The shipments of horses down east
marks not only new method of pro-
fit for the farmer, but may bring
back the horse breeding industry in
the state, he said. This is the third
year Of the horse sales.
"In one year We brought back $780,
600 new money In the state" said
Mr.. McInnes. "This money was for
horses for which there was no local
market. We have been careful to
have all horses shipped east inspect
ed, and we are informed in eastern
markets that North Dakota horses
are the best shipped down there We
intend to keep the shipments Oh a
quality basis"
The quality of North Dakota horses
shipped has resulted in numerous in
quiries from eastern centers, he said
Farm Bureaus in the east are cooper
ating, so that the farmer in North
Dakota gets more for his horses anc
the eastern farmers buy them fol
less than they would otherwise. Many
are sold in industrial centers.
There are scores Of other ways il
which the Farm Bureau. is quietl!
aiding the farmers who are its mem
bers and other farmers as well, hi
said.

Minneapolis, March 14.-The Non

voted to relinquish it's identity an,
become part of the Farmer-Labo,
Federation. The Working People
league sponsored the federation.
Formation of the federation, will
the farmer and labor organizations
joining hands, marked the most ex

has had since its origin.
Met in St. Cloud Yesterday
uTOday the state convention of tn,
party, called by F. A. Pike, chair.
man Of the state central committee
began at st. Cloud. Mr. Pike has
opposed the federation.
With the union of the Nonpartisar
Leaguers and workers, predictions
were made by some of the delegate:
that the st. Cloud convention would
formally approve the federation.
The Nonpartisan League voted to
affiliate with the new federation only
after lengthy fight in which
charges of communistic control o1
the labor end Of the party were made
and denied.
A. c. Welch of Glencoe, chairman
of the state executive committee
Judge Harold Baker of Olivia; O. M
Thomason Of Benson; Mayor Julius
Reiter of Rochester and others spoke
against the move.
They argued that the League had
gained political influence and should
retain its identity, because they de.
clared, it was favorably known to
farmers in all sections of the state
Financial troubles Of the, League
would be overcome, they argued. By
vote Of 94 to 60, the League elected
as Chairman Judge Baker, who op-
posed affiliation, over Thomas Vol.
lpm of Erskine, who favored the
merger.
Meets Stiff Opposition
Speaking against affiliation, Mr.
Thomson set the convention in an
uproar when he announced that the
meeting in St. Paul earlier in the
week which called third party con-
vention for this city June II, had IL
communists in its number, and that
the same bunch (the St. Paul con-
vention) is behind the federation.
Thomson said he had received
kilograms from United States Sen
ator Magnus Johnson, Minnesota
and Lynn J. Frazier, North Dakota
saying they would have nothing to
do with any organization recognizing
communists.
There were cries that the third
party conference had nothing to dc
with the federation. r. H. Walker
of Yucca, N. D., who attended the
conference, said that anybody that
calls me a communist is liar

pigs Is PIGS" BUT
WHEN Is HAMS HAM
Dairy and Food Commissioner Puts
Hard Question Up to Attorney
General of State.

Madison, Wis. - Does "ham" refer
only to the hind legs of a pig or is it
the result of curing process?
When Dairy and Food Commissioners
+. @. Emery wanted to know whether
a certain retailer could be prosecuted
for advertising picnic hams as hams,
Assistant Attorney General Alvin G.
Refs delicately passed the buck back
to Emery.
The question of whether or not
smoked shoulders, or picnic hams, are
de facto hams is question of fact and
not a question of law, Refs told Emery
in an opinion handed down today.
whether shoulders are ham is not
an issue to be determined by judicial
presidents or legal reasoning" Refs
said.
eve lawyers can doubtless obtain
substantial agreement upon the pre-
mise that pigs is pigs but limitations
restrain US from going into further
refinements. Some persons suggest
that ham means the hind legs only,
while others intimate that the term
ham refers to a process, namely, a
curing process, and that the so-called
shoulders or front legs, as we'll as
rear, may become ham if properly
treated.
"This, however, is delicate issue Of
fact which should be adjudicated, in
the first instance, by a tribunal such
as yours"
If smoked shoulders are hams, then
the retailer is not liable to prosecu-
tion, Refs said. If they are not hams,
"and the party has caused the false
advertisement to be published for the
purpose of defrauding, then a very
clear criminal offense exists zunder
the fraudulent advertising statute"
The offender, if he makes sales by
virtue of the advertisements in this
case, may also be guilty of obtaining
money under false pretenses, the as
sistant attorney general asserted.
