1<tinq Main Crop in Late.


Wheat growers Of long SeNaM -,
are familiar with the plan of sowing
a decoy strip of wheat early in the
season to entice the heSsian fly. 1t is
a good plan to do this even if there
is no certainty that the enemy may
be waiting for you. A narrow strip
is sown entirely around the field in
tended for wheat. and this is turned
under at the time the main crop is to
be sown. This turning the decoy
strip Of wheat under is better plan
than blowing number of dead fur
rows between this strip and the main
field.
The main crop should be sown as
late as it can be with safety whether
the decoy strip is used or not, for the
later the sowing the less danger from
the hessian fly. Bear in mind also
that aside from the battle with the
hessian fly success in wheat growing
comes from the thorough preparation
of the seed bed. The man who works
on the plan that the seed bed for
wheat cannot be made too good is the
one who gets the profitable crop. At
least this is the result on farms that
have been titled for a number of years.
1t is worth trying this fall-Indianap

To Renew Old Orchards,

Prof. U. P. Hedrick, of Michigan
Agricultural college, gives the follow
ing very good advice as to the treat
ment Of old, neglected orchards. We
don't place quite so much stress on the
cultivation of old orchards; we are
willing that heavy mulching take the
place of much of the cultivating, but
Prof, Hedrick's treatment is good:
Il. Get into the orchard with the
pruning saw. For this work you need
men of experience. Too many so-called
tree primers are tree butchers. Their
zeal is much greater than their knowL
edge. The only absolute rule in prun-
ing that can be laid down is to cut
out all dead wood. Branches that are
badly injured, diseased, crossed or
that from weak crotches should be re-
moved after which some small limbs
may be cut out and if the tree top is
very thick there should be judicious
thinning of large branches. Let the
pruning extend through two CT three
seasons rather than one.

BIjou--.sThe smart set.v

The Smart Set" negro musical | comedy of merit. packed the Bijou | Theatre to its capacity last night and l incidentally scored the biggest success l that has ever been accorded an organ l ization of it's kind in Montgomery. | Without question or fulsome praise l the Smart Set with that clever negro | comedian, s. H. Dudley. as it's star, is | an excellent--a most enjoyable per l formance To those who love music. its vocal expression and pure negro | minstrel comedy-the performance was l a delightful treat and a more enthusi- astic audience never greeted a negro | company in the Bijou Theatre. A company of forty trained voices. some l of wonderful power and sweetness and none of rSoor quality made as grand | harmony Tn the ensembles as any one would care to hear. Just the one song | '"The Stance River" sung by Hattie Hopkins. with chorus. was well worth 1 the price of admission and there were | others that were equally as good. The company would give a highly creditabIe performance without the aid
 of S. H. Dudley, but with him and his irresistible natural negro humor. 1t seems that the performance has reached the acme ot run. Dudley has been seen before in Montgomery with
 
 work Is known and recognized by all who have seen him. He is entirely without affectation or mannerisms and just the plain Southern negro from start to finish. His songs "Satisfac- ton Babe" and Shame on You" made him work overtime by the applause re- ceIved An expression of his face, just a sentence from his big lips brought d roar of laughter from the audience. As G. Washington Bullion. rich American negro from Boiling Green. Ky. in Hawait Tn search of a yellow girl. he was at his best. Prac- tically all of the comedy work Is left to him.
 The cultured soprano voices of Hat tie Hopkins and Marion Start gave tone to the prima donna parts of the piece. Both of these women are strlk- ing types of the Creole or octoroon women. They are pleasing singers. The song Goodnight Lucinda" by Hattie Hopkins, was sung in beautiful expression and received several en- cores on the rendition. Marion Start popularized herself with the audience by her songs with John Bailey. good singer and fair comedian in-1"Alex- ander" and Teasing" Bailey sang Back, Back Back to Baltimore" in a manner that brought down the house In applause. The high tenor voice of Lawrence Chehault, which has been heard before in Montgomery. was heard to good advantage fin sev- eral songs, especially in Lula Lee"
 Although Charles Foster. the basso. and a deep one at that, did not have O. solo, he made up for 1t by his great work fin the chorus. His vciec rum bled in tones as deep as rolling thun- der and he seemed to have no limit fin reaching the bottom. His voice Is g. valuable attribute to the chorus.
