The opening days at the Devils Lake
Chautauqua this season are full to
Overlooking with good things. The
opening day itself Is worth the cost 1of
an entire season. In addition to the
formal opening exercises and the re-
newal Of old acQuaintances which al.
ways form q large part Of the pleas.
IRE OF the average Chautauqua. one
OF the best programs possible has been
arranged for that day. The Nightin.
gale colored quartet will furnish the
music for the day, other than the
splendid band concerts, and they will
render the old-time melodies Of the
Southern plantations as they were
sung by the negroes In the days Of
slavery and the early days Of the
freedmen. These singers are not min
strels nor jubilee, singers, and are the
only musical organization in the coun-
try rendering these melodies with all
their native pathos and Quaintness.
John T. White, the celebrated single
taxer Of Chicago, will deliver lee.
ture on some one of the following sub.
jects: ''The Dignity Of Labor" "The
Right to Work." Henry George and
His Doctrines" "The Public Owner
ship of Public Utilities, "The Sources
of Municipal Corruption Mr.. White
Is one Of the greatest orators in the
country. and the fact that he has lee.
tured on an average Of six times each
week for more than a year and is then
able to I'LL only about one.fourth of his
offers proves that he Is one Of the
ablest advocates Of the doctrines Of
Henry George. Mr.. White quit the
practice Of law IN which he had al
ready won high place, and returned
to the printers case, preferring to fol.
low calling at labor with meager re-
muneration rather than profession
with all its honors and emoluments.
No single taxer can afford to miss
hearing this great exponent of the
equal rights of all men.
For the lovers Of the national game
there has been arranged contest at
the Chautauqua baseball park between
two of the best teams in the state.
The game will be as good as the av.
erage minor league game.
In the evening there will be one OF
given before the public. A balloon as
cension will be made, and at height
of 5000 feet trained dog will be
dropped in parachute, and by his
own management will descend to the
earth. It is the only trained dog aero
naut in the world. and the wonderful
feat has attracted thousands at Coney
Island and Brighton. The aeronaut
will descend by means of parachute
drop from an elevation of 1000 feet, a
feat in itself worth travelling miles to
see. This feature Is the most sensa-
tional and costly one ever offered the
pleasure seeking public of the state.

tits not often, of late years that reg
nlarf seeding operations in the North
west run we'll into June. This year
would have been an exception and the
seeding Of late grains would have gone
on until the month was at least ten
days old had 1t not been for one thing.
The weather has put stop to work,
and apparently for good. Since
Wednesday there has been more or
less rain in different parts Of the state,
and Friday the valley was literally be-
sprinkled. Enough rain has fallen to
stop seeding operations for the time
being, and in many cases they will not
be resumed. OF course. there will be
still some grain sown, but this will cut
little figure in the general result.
The condition of the early grain is
all that could be asked. aThe weather
has favored it In every way, and, as
was stated some time ago, by the mid
die OF this month it will be as far adj
vanced as in any ordinary year, de.
spite OF the lateness of the opening of
the season. Late grain has not made
such good Roadway. In many cases
the ground On which it was sown was
baked before 1t could be reached, and
the wetter the ground was early in the
spring the dryer it is now. On the
low fields 1t has been impossible to
bring the soil to the proper condition
for seeding, and in many cases the
seed has simply lain an inch or two
beneath the surface, surrounded by
dry pellets Of earth instead Of by mel
low soil. In these cases there has
been no termination.
For these reasons the rain has been
an excellent thing for all sorts of
grain. That on dry ground has re-
ceived an additional stimulus, and that
on ground where the soil was baked
will have chance to sprout. The
fields where grain was sown in fair
time present magnificent appear
ance. The grain has good growth
and the plant is sturdy and strong.
The leaves are broad, and the color
the dark green which is SO pleasing
to the eye of the farmer. The same
story comes from all over the state of
good growth of early grain and excel.
lent prospects for an early and abun.
daIt crop from it.
The work of estimating the acreage
will be much more difficult this year
than usual, as the conditions are spot.
ted. In the west there Is a fair degree
Of uniformity, but in the valley there
Is nothing of the sort. On one little
area Of two or three miles square
wheat may have been sown early on
every foot Of land intended for it, and
on another near b ythere will be com.
paratively none sown. One casual OBJ
server who happens to see the first
named section and who bases his judg
ment on its appearance will say that
there will be as many acres of wheat
In the valley as last year, or more
Another, who happens to run across q
few localities such as the second
named, will feel sure that the wheat
area in the valley will fall off at least
50 per cent. Only close figuring by ex
perts who look over the entire district
is worth anything, and even experts
will have to do a good deal Of guess.
