FARMERS IN VALLEY
TOLD ABOUT FEEDING
Armour Man Says They Can
Make Money While lowans
Go Broke

Fargo, N. D., Nov. 13.-(F-Farmers
OF the Red River Valley can feed
lambs and other livestock with profit
while farmers Of Iowa, Illinois, and
Indiana are ''going broke" trying to
feed for the same markets.
That was the response Thursday Of
G. L. Ashley. manager Of the Armour
and Company plant at West Fargo,
speaking before approximately $50
farmers from all parts of the Red
River Valley, to criticism that con-
tinued expansion Of the livestock
feeding business here may bring
about an production of fat cat
tie and lambs.
They can't produce the feeds that
make fat livestock as cheaply as you
can," Ashley told the farmers. This
overhead will eat them up while YOU
are making profits. You have other
advantages
"You are in between the great live
stock feeder producing areas, the
ranges of Montana, Idaho and Ore
gon. and the great livestock markets.

Forkers suffered two tie games which
gave them the same percentage as
Minot and Bismarck, both of whom
suffered one defeat in four conference
engagements. Grand Forks won two
circuit contests.
Seven teams won or lost this year
by an average Of approximately one
or less touchdowns, Elstad pointed
out, while a year ago four teams had
this record and two years ago only
two teams.
"The conference race has been get
ting closer every year. In 1929 the
high-Scoring team collected 22O
points. This score has come down to
so points this year, while the low
team score has been reduced from 1874
to 81 points. Further figuring shows
that in 1929 the average number of
points difference between the winner
and loser in each game was 43.7 while
in 1890 it was 1877 and this year r."
