First to grow corn here, were the
native Indians, especially the Ari-
karas and Mandans, to whom debt
Of gratitude is due, Will said. The
early fur traders, Indian traders and
agents soon saw the possibilities of
corn growing and did all in their
power to improve methods, he stated.
Pho ser farmers, who were scoffed
at for attempting to grow large
acreages of corn in North Dakota in
the '7O's and '8O's but whose work
has now come to fruition also, de-.
serve tribute, Mr.. Will said.
Musical numbers at the luncheon
were give by the Great Northern
male quartet.
If the vision used in starting the
North Dakota State Corn Slow and
tie progress made by the show could
be carried into other lines of ell

Discusses Corn Gro irg
Discussing the growing of corn,
Go ,ernor Sorl said he believed
North Dakota growers should get
good price for their seed corn this
fall because of comparative failures
of corn crops in other states. Need
for cooperation was stressed by the
Governor in his speech.
POpulatio, is the greatest need Of
North Dakota, c. 7. Jaffray told
visitors to the show yes. erday aft
ernoon. In order tx attract settlers
from other midwest states here,
North Dakota must show that it can
grow crops VIII cl. are grown in the
older states farther east, Jaffray
said. BY proving that corn can be
successfully grown here, interest
should be aroused in the corn belt,
he pointed out, adding hat cheap
land and the desi' Of many farm
ing families to have their farms
close together, a thing hard to do
in Iowa, Minnesot Illinois, Indiana
and nearby states where land prices
are so high, should also help bring
people here.
Because North Dakota is far from
the great consuming centers, it is
unlikely that corn will ever be q
shipable commodity here, and it
should therefore be used for feeding
to livestock and poultry, Jaffray
said.
The diversified farmer has money
all the year around, the speaker
averred, while small grain crop to
him is simply additional money in
the bank. With diversified farm
ing, the doubts and the dangers as
ISOLATED with the growing OF small
grains exclusively v.nish, Jaffray
said, while the farmer takes more
| interest in his wo k every day OF
the year, instead Of for . brief Pc
riod.
Benefit ID Statewide
North Dckotans must learn Shat
what benefits the state also benefits
them, Jaffray declared. "What
benefits North Dakota also benefits
Bismarck" he said. "Every new
settler coming into this state bene-
fits the people in communities in al
sections"
Cooperation is the great need. the
speaker said, averring that much
damage is done to North Dakota ~
the acts Of people in the stste. He
urged . greater spirit Of friendship
and the working hand in hand ia
make this state progress rapidly.
