Valuable Work.

Farmers, millers and grain trade men
generally will be interested in the
announcement of the production Of a
new hard spring wheat type by the
state experimental farm at St. An
thony Park. Eleven years have been
given to the experiment. This station
produced the two well-known varieties
of spring wheat, styled Minnesota No.
163, and Minnesota No. 1859. These
have been among the best producers
wherever used, but the new variety
promises even better results, for the
records of a period of years show an
average yield Of $3.50 bushels an acre
for No. 169, 2757 bushels for No. 1913
and 2S.97 bushels for the new No. 1873.
The station has given the time and
attention Of it's best men especially
to the study Of the wheat plant, and
surely nothing could be more important
in this northwest, where in the states
Of Minnesota, North and South Dakota,
some 2OO,OO0,000 bushels Of wheat is
produced in a good year. Wheat is the
and whatever can be learned about it,
and all that can be done to increase the
return to the farmers who produce it,
benefits everyone directly or indi-
rectly.
The station carries on work in many
other departments likewise very i'm
portant, but nothing so excites the gen.
eral interest or meets with such general
commentator as the work of increas-
ing the yields and improving the quail
ity of the wheat. ... 3d.
The station is splendid institution.
President Northrop once said he con-
sidered it one Of the most useful
branches of the. university. la T..
- While the work Of the station is
seen every day, and good results are
apparent in every county in Minnesota
there are great benefits to the state
that never can be accurately traced in
mates be made covering them. For in,
stance, there is the bulletin with refer.
ence to smut in wheat and treatment
for it. There is no possible way Of
following up. the effects, but it is
certain that farmers everywhere have
read and profted- by the directions, and
not the least doubt that smut has beer
checked and millions of bushels of bet
. ter wheat produced as result. in this
way the station works, occasionally
presenting something openly as in the
present announcement of a new wheat
type, but more often doing it's work
quietly and without publicity, salts
fed if good results follow.
There is the opportunity here t,
build up an institution. that, already
known far and wide in this country
may become in time the most notet
agricultural school in the world.

ADJUSTMENTS
Observation-Disclosures"

The story of Parsifal is one of the most
beautiful legends Of history, and it's les
sons are those that will last as long as
the race exists. The play presented at
the Metropolitan last evening is an ar
rangement of the legend in dramatic
form by William Lynch Roberts, in which
the author makes no claim to originality
other than an attempt to retell the old
tale in a fresh and attractive form. Mr..
Roberts has drawn from the same
sources of inspiration that Wagner used
in the opera, and pays his acknowledge
ments to the poems Of Eschenbach and
Troyes, for. their assistance in the under
taking.
AS Is fitting with such a theme, en-
bodying the sacred and legendary, Mr..
Roberts has made a beautiful and digni-
fled use of the formal style of diction.
He has given in his play the full story
of the legend, including ParsifaPs part
ing with his mother and the story of
his birth; the fall Of Amfortas, the loss
of the golden spear and the inf1iction OF
the wound that will not heal. The wiles
Of Kundry and her destinations exerted
toward the guileless fool, are given a
wider exploitation in the play than in the
opera, but in the main the play follows
the same lines altho naturally it is much
more ample.
The presentation Of the play last even
Ing was exceedingly interesting, and il
was put on with a lavish tastefuIness Of
accessories that framed every scene in 6

There is rivalry on between two tele-
phone companies in New York, which
has already resulted in the reduction Of
the rate from 10 cents: to 5 cents call.
The Great Eastern Telephone company,
which is fighting to get a foothold in
New York, claims that 1t will force the
call rate down to Q cents before it is
thru. In Chicago the Tribune has been
demanding a reduction of the call rate
and has exposed the fact that the tele-
phone compa mics, instead of reducing the
rates, attempted to smother the public
demand by putting large ads in the
newspapers which they control. It must
make the Minneapolis Tribune pretty
sick to think of these page ads which it
does not get because it is not published
in Chicago.

out legislative control Of election Of
senators as easily as they snuffed out
the electoral college. It was put in the
constitution to prevent direct vote
upon president, but it has not had that
effect. Without changing the consti-
tuition the people got around the col
lege. If they cannot get around the
legislative selection Of senators by
law, they will get around it by GUS
tom, for it is the one fixed idea in the
minds Of the people today that the
selection Of senator belongs to them
and not to the legislators, who are
chosen primarily for the enactment Of
local laws.

The most logical answer to the query,
why the musical show "Piff, Paff, Pouff,"
which comes to the Metropolitan Sunday
night, had an uninterrupted run of eight
solid months at the Casino theater, New
York, is that B. c. Whitney has given to
the public the form of entertainment that
it wants. The performance is as lively
as a three-ring circus, as full Of music
as a military band and as brimming with
wit and up-to-date travesty as any per-
Torrance that has come off Broadway in
years. Another powerful adjunct to the
success of "Piff, Paff, Pouff," is that the
best company obtainable has been fur
nished to interpret the comedy the music
and the dancing.
"The Wizard of Or rejuvenated by
new songs and dances, enlivened by fresh

the tin woodman is hilarious and rollick-
ing to degree, and interpreted by Mont
gomery and Stone, who still appear in
their original character creations, it is
likewise clean and wholesome.
