VANCOUVER CYCLIST
VISITS IN BISMARCK
Has to Abandon Bike After
Crossing Railroad Trestle
in Flood Section

Pedaling his way 1900 miles across
the continent to take part in a series
of bicycle races at Toronto. July /,
Gilbert Crippen, Vancouver, B.. c..
was one OF the most interested of
hundreds of e~ye-witnesses to the de-
stcuction dealt to WlbauX. Mont. by
the Beaver Creek flood last weekend.
Crippcn spent part of Saturday at
Wibaux. and rode Sunday, Monday.
and Tuesday between the Montana
city and ST. Paul. Mimi. having cov-
cred more than half his journey In
81 days.
The bicyclist came through Bis
marck Sunday and was in Fargo late
Monday.
His trip was not without difficult
ties. including IS feet of SNOW in the
Rockies which forced him to push his
bicycle through the abandoned Cas-
cade tunnel and then pedal for miles
on the railroad ties.
The bumps over the ties all but
ruined his wheel. but he managed to
get as far as Billings, Mont. Because
his wheel was of Canadian make and
no tires were available he stored his
bike at Billings and beat" his way
to Winnipeg where he purchased four
tires.
His trip to Winnipeg took five days.
but he vas more fortunate on the re-
turn journey. making it in a halt day
less. Then he resumed his way. He
passed through Bismarck and Fargo,
and reached st. Paul about Z p. m.
last night.
From st, Paul Crippen will 60 to
Milwaukee, thence to Detroit and
across the river to Windsor. Ont. He
expects to reach Toronto about June
20. After competing in the races
there he plans a trip to Me-. York.
How he will return to the Pacific
coast has not been decided, but 1t
probably won't be by bike.
His trip has cost about $25 this far,
Crippen said. He generally works tor
his meals. He is supplied with blank
cts and sleeps out most of the time.

LIVESTOCK OUTLOOK
never BETTER SAYS
HEAD OF EXCHANGE
Stock Raisers and Dairy Farm
ers Not Interested I'm Farm
Relief Legislation

Chicago. June l3.-fP)-Presidcnt
z. G. Brown 0. the Chicago livestock
exchange said today that livestock
and dairy farmers are not interested
in farm relief legislation. Prospects
for this branch OF agriculture were
never better, he added.
Livestock farmers are now iii a
position to help the grain farmer
President Brown said. They can buy
corn at 65 to IS cents throughout the
belt. convert 1t into beet and pork
and on a short turnover can market
the grain that goes into the animal,
netting thereby so to 100 per cent
profit.
Such discomfort as hog growers
have voiced has been due to price
control By the country o.ying device.
which is the only weak spot in the
livestock production structure.
"A notable instance Of the efficacy
Of livestock production in remedyiilg
grain or One-crop farming ills is to
be seen in the Dakotas where lamb
raising has gained such momentum
in recent years. Application of the
same diversifiCation principle will be
equally effective elsewhere.
All the livestock industry asks is
secure possession Of its domestic mar
ket. which is essential if the herds
and flocks of this country are to be
protected from foot and mouth dis
ease. This can be accomplished only
by rigid exclusion of meats from in
tccted South American areas.
"Visualization OF Chicago's daily
livestock market quotations Will fur
nish convincing and irrefutable evil
dence that the livestock farmer &C.
cupies a position as strong as that of
the grain Or any other one crop
farmer is weak"

JUNIOR CLOTHING

Some Are Training Teams to

Work: 20 Last Year

Junior All clothing clubs in al
parts of North Dakota arc part!cu-
larly interested in demonstration work
at this time and many are training
teams to compete at the county and
district fairs later in the summer.
Demonstration work is encouraged
in all All club activities on the theory
that the club members will learn
much more from seeing and doing
things than from hearing talks Or
ceading literature says Edna SOM
merfeld, field agent in clothing for
he North Dakota Agricultural col
lege.
Naturally each club wishes to win
IN the county fair and represent the
county az tfs Gi,tric. far, and tic
result is that some very keen compe-
tition is shown and the club teams
work out some remarkably good dem
onStrations.
Any line Of clothing work may be
used for the demonstration. although
the topic usually pertains to some
work taken up in the club during the
year. Some OF the topics chosen in
clude selection of shoes. the making
of a child's dress. care of a wool dress
selection and use of color and care OF
shoes.
In 1923 there were 20 clothing
demonstration teams in the following
counties: Stutsman. Barnes. kidder

Other North Dakota farmers say as
much in favor of the silo. according
to Prof. r. C. Miller. head Of the ag-

lege.
A cheap way to provide for a silo
On the farm is to construct the simple
trench silo. That there is practically
no cost except the labor in the con-
struction Of the earth wall trench silo.
is shown by statements gathered by
Mr.. Miller from men who have built
trench silos. Schultz Brothers found
that it cost them approximately $50
to construct their silo. while ]. G.
Calderwood g. Sons Of Crary found
the cost to be $35.
The most practical size Of trench
silo for the average farm measures II
feet across the top and s across the
bottom. The pit is dug s feet deep
and from 80 TO 40 feet long. depend
ing on the number Of cattle to be fed
