Wednesday morning witnessed the of the Dry Far--ing congress at Mandan, which has been awaited with interest for the past few weeks. The interest and enthusiasm speaks well for the future of the slope if the farmers put into practice many of the good pieces of advice which are given th-am. "Practicableness" Is the keynote of the convention.

Each speaker tells of what may be done in a practical manner by a practical farmer so that results may be obtained. There were fuly three hundred and fifty people assembled in the opeia house at Mandan when the convention called to order Wednesday morning by C. L. president of tbe North Dakota Dry Far-- ing congress. They were almost all farmers and all evinced a keen Interest In all that said and done.

Timmerman surrendered the gaval to Prof. Hoverstad of the Agricultural college at Fargo, who presided while the various addresses were being delivered. The principal address of the morning was delivered by Col. A. R.

Wilkinson of Lake Ehuo. Min. He chose for his subject "Practical Farming," and he gave his hearers a great deal of practical advice in the course of his address. Col.

He was following by Mr. Martin, representing the Dupont Powder com. pany, who explained in a clear and convincing 'Maniier what was meant by "Explosive Far-iing," and he added interest to his remarks by showing the exact cost of breaking up the ground with light charges of dynamite where it could not be pulverized in any other Banner. The balance of the was devoted to a discussion among those present as to which the better, fall or spring plowing. There were many arguments advanced Jn favor of either side of the question.

Prof. Thomas Shaw summed it up wh-an he said that the principal thing to be considered was the conditions that existed. There were some pieces of land that fall plowing was better for and others that spring plowing would secure tbs best results. Before the convention adjourned at noon Holmboe, the photographer, secured several photographs of the large number present to attend this first dry farming conventiin to be held at Mandan. Today will be the closing day of the convention, and it is that there will be nearly a thousand farmers and Interested citizens in attendance at the meetings.

Glen Ullin Man is After Winner of the Proposed RoekUr-Downa Match Wants to Bet a Hundred. The wrestling game seems in a fair way for being revived in this part of the state and challenges are flowing around like water with all kinds of talk about the money that "will be" put up for certain matches.

As the proposition stands at the present time, as near as the sporting editor can figure it out, Rockier of Fargo wants to meet Downs, formerly of this city, but now in the western part of the state, for a purse and a side bet, and. of course, the receipts, and R. H. Mathvick of Glen I t'llin comes to ihe front with a letter to the Tribune in which he states that he would like to meet thd winner of the proposed Rockier-Downs match "for no less than a side bet of $100." Possibly in the course of time the aspirants for mat honors will get some real coin and put it up, and about that time the Tribune will give some more publicity to the game, but not before. rCUON OKtlFficEIIS TO ff IIEIII IN 10 A FIRST LIEUT.
