BLACK RUST IN WHEAT.
Professor w. NJ. Hays Promises a
Remedy--His Opinion.
From SATURDAYS Daily.


81 was inclined to believe" said Pro
fessor Haynes, who is an authority of
state and national reputation on sub
jects of this character, "that the wheat
trade was unduly excited over the con-
dition of the northwest crop so far as
damage by rust was concerned, until I
learned of the findings of Mr.. Jones in
the fields between Minnesota and the
Dakotas Ordinarily when there are dis
crepancies between the reports concern
ing the crops and the deductions which
may be made as to conditions in the
wheat fields, from knowledge of exist
ing weather conditions, I am disposed to
rely on the later evidence. Mr.. Jones,
however, is careful and reliable observ
er, and although climatic conditions are
not particularly favorable to the devel-
opment of rust in such quantities as to
prove serious menace, theories must
always retire before demonstrated facts.
HOnce rust appears it is almost impos-
sible to combat, and its possibilities for
damage are almost unlimited. This is
particularly true, as its study can only
be undertaken by one experienced in the
use of microscope, and botanists have
manifested disposition to avoid the
task, in belief that no preventative can
be found.
''For some years, however, we have
been working with the problem of rust
in connection with our other expert
ments, and 1 think we have found the
method by which it may be avoided.
The whole secret lies in the proper breed
ing of the grain, and as our experiments
in this direction progress, we will Sc
cure variety of plant capable of Of
fering much greater resistance to the
spread of rust than the fife and blue
stem varieties, which now comprise the
bulk of the wheat grown in the north
west.
'We have been working and are still at
work on an exhaustive series of expert
ments to find or develop the plant most
suited to the northwest conditions. This
is slow process, as every plant is sub
jected to actual growing tests in our
fields, but already we have secured varie-
ties more enduring than those now
commonly grown and the finding, or
rather making, of more and better varie
ties is only question of time
"Of course, our broad, general aim is
to secure more value to an acre, and
this involves not only resistance to rust
and other infection but greater yield
as well. 1t may be said that the same
plants which prove least susceptible to
infection also give the largest yields.
Without putting ourselves in boastful
attitude, we expect not only to give the
farmer varieties of wheat more enduring
than the species now chiefly grown, the
fife and bluestem, but also to increase
the yield of Minnesota and the Dakotas
by 100000 bushels"

PLEASED ALARGE AUDIENCE.
eesentation of Engaged" at Manka-
to Theatre Last Night.
From SATURDAYS Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Every conceivable kind of a love
match was made by D. Floyd Eager on
the stage of the opera house last night
in the character OF Cheviot Hill, a young
mon of property, the hero of Gilbert's
farce, Engaged, presented under the
auspices of the ladies of the Presbyteri-
an church. He fitted from one love to
another with as much apparent ease
and naturalness as butterfly glides
from flower to flower. He was happy
with any kind of a pretty lass as long
as no other was present, and it was
only in the presence of two or more
of his lady loves that he ever allowed
his mental serenity to be disturbed.
Mr.. Eager never failed to draw the
general applause from the well filled
house, at every exciting turn of the
play. He deserves high credit, not only
for the professional skill with his he
handled his own role,) but for the ex-
cellent support which was due to his
own personal training and supervision.
During the past two years he has at
tended the Emerson School of Oratory
at Boston and will complete his course
of preparation for the stage in another
year. He was especially well fitted to
present this play to the public, mas
much as he has conducted rehearsals of
the same at Boston.
Mary of the audience centered their
interest on little Maggie Maefarlane, ae-
cording to her own testimony "a vera,
vera guide GIRL" a rustic Scotch lass
represented by NIias Alma Copghlan. She
was one of the many trees on which

was not without touch Of sympathy
that his untutored behavior was observ-
ed amid much mirth, and, without
doubt, the people were glad to see him
finally win Maggie, the inconsistent OBJ
ject of his constant affections.
Miss Clara Gerlich appeared as an
other maiden, whose affections were
readily transferable This was Belinda
Treherne, whose accidental marriage to
"Cheviot HILL" under the Scotch law,
was the subject of much dispute, doubt
and speculation. 1t was finally found
that the chance words that the two let
fall in garden just over the border in
Scotland were binding under the mar
riage laws of that country and the un-
ion had been perfected without the
knowledge of either party. The final dis
covery of the true state of affairs is
like the solution of a picture puzzle. One
relation is determined and the rest readi-

A Setback

Henry James, after an absence Of
many years, has returned to America
Mr.. James has come to be regarded
especially by the younger writer's, as
the greatest American novelist. Pill
grimages are made to his beautiful
English home in Rye, and word Of
praise from the master is esteemed
of greater worth than page of praise
from an ordinary newspaper or re
view. 4
A young American novelist took oc
casion to visit Mr. James during a
European tour that he made in the
summer. This novelist is successful
and prolific. His books sell with as.
tonishing speed and with astonishing
speed he produces them.
After giving a little perfunctory
praise to Mr.. James own work, the
Young man said:
What do you think of my work,
sir?"
Il think you write too much" Mr.
James said candidly. I think you'll
never reach posterity if you carry so
much luggage"
