HERE THIS EVENING;
T0URDRAWING 1000
n Farmers Are Not Forced to
Work by Weather, Special
Will Prolong Rounds

The 500 Line. special seed cars will
be here from 7:30 to midnight to-
night. Farmers and citizens caring
to take q peak into the clean seed
and anti-smut campaign can do so
by going to the 500 yards, back Of
the station, during the stay Of the
cars here, and view the exhibits and
the demonstrations.
The cars carry both seed cleaning
and smut sterlizing devices and DEM
onstrations are made Of both, wher-
ever the car stops. The cars are
operated by the agricultural depart
ment Of the 500 Line.
In spite Of the fact that the recent
thawing weather has put all roads in
an almost impossible condition. farm
ers continue to find means Of getting
to the towns at which the special ex-
hibit cars are scheduled to make
stops. Demonstrations were given the
past week at Lidgerwood, Fredonia,
Lehr. Wishek, Ashley and Danzig. The
lowest attendance at any one point
for the week was 105, the highest 400.
The total attendance for the ten days
the cars have been in operation has
reached $500 and shows every indi-
cation Of going to 10000 before the
schedule is completed.
This week stops will be made at
Burnstad, Napoleon, Kintyre, Under
wood and Garrison. The week Of
March Is, the cars will be at Max,
Sanish, Parshall, Ryder. Drake and
Anamoose. Advance reports from all
Of these towns indicate an unusual
amount Of enthusiasm for the meet
ings and demonstrations. At many
points arrangements are being made
for special market days, luncheons,
night meetings, for the farmers Of the
locality for the day the demonstra-
lions are scheduled.
H. A. McNutt and Jens Uhrenholdt,
Of the 500 agricultural department,
are in charge Of the cars at present.
They report that highest interest is
shown in recommended varieties and
treatments for the control Of smut,
while the baggage car, which is
equipped with the various makes and
sizes Of seed cleaning machinery,
seems to hold the greatest interest
for the farmers.
At present consideration is being
given to the operation Of these cars
on into April If seeding has not start
ed at that time. If this Is done IL
towns between Drake and Fordville
and Fordville and Kenmare will be
included in the itinerary.
r. p. Woodwork, chairman Of the
Northwest Crop Improvement associ-
alton, and q group Of grain men from
the Twin Cities are planning to at
