STEVE COLLINS ON CROPS.
Disasrees With Professor Shaw in HE
Wheat Sick Theory.

ItSa9FeeS w TN 8FFOtSSSoTe0 AtaSN ~ ~
Wheat Sick Theory.
Steve Collins of Grand Forks Is not
a believer in the doctrine recently
promulgated by Professor Shaw that
the reason there are no longer any
big crops Of wheat raised in this part
of the state is because the land from
continual cropping has become wheat
sick. Mr. Collins was one of the first
settlers in that part of the state and
has been careful observer of the de-
velopment of hard wheat raising from
its first inception to the present time.
He knows more about the conditions
than Professor Shaw because he has
studied them at close range.
His idea is that the wheat crop is
just like any other crop--that there
must be suitable weather conditions
during the growing season to properly
develop the grain. Unless these com
ditions are present there viii be a
shortage of the. crop. In proof Of his
contention he cited the-case of a piece
of new land on the Thompson farm
near Inkster which has its first wheat
crop this year. The crop was thresh-
ed Thursday of this week and yielded
about five bushel to the acre. The
land was in good condition but the
weather conditions were such that the
grain was injured at the very time 1t
most needed perfect weather.

THE Y. N. c. A. BUILDING
Slight Changes Made in the Main En-
trance-Some Facts About the
New Building.

Architect Beebe has specified some
slight changes in the main entrance to
the Z. M. g. A. building which the
building committee think will enhance
the beauty OF the northside of the
structure. Mr.. Rusk has been wait
ing for specification of this change
and will how complete the cornice
work within few days. The exter-
Tor of the. building will soon be nm
ished.
The new home Of the Y. M. c. A. is
"a distinct addition to the public build
ings of Fargo. If isHplanned to ac-
commodate a large, varied and con-
tinuous work. The spacious lobby on
the first floor will be the great social
meeting place for the young men OF
the city. This is connected by double
doors with the boys department lobby,
and thus the two may be thrown into
one lobby for special social functions.
The physical department Is modelled
upon the most scientific plan while the
equipment for religious and education
al work is planned with a view to the
efficiency of the departments and the
economy of administration.
That the association in Fargo will
be able to organize large numbers in
to various activities for their own and
the city's good is evidenced by the
numbers who have taken part in the
canvass for funds with which to erect
the building. So far one hundred and
sixty different persons have taken
active part in the canvass and secur-
aH cs1h cR rin IN
very large number of subscriptions Sc
cured, nearly 1000, is due in a signi-
|ficant measure to this extensive or
ganization of volunteer workers, AM
other factor that has made large con-
tribution to the success of the project
is the very loyal support of the local
press 1t is doubtful if any public
enterprise anywhere was ever given
more generous support by the press
than has been given the Fargo Y, M.
c, A. building project by our local pa
pers.
The fact that the association has
been able through the support of the
press and the organization of so large
number of public spirited citizens, to
build up a constituency of 1000 con-
tributors, and this with no record of
efficient work done in the city as is
the case in many cities where build
ing enterprises are conducted, is evil
dence of it's further success. Fargo
citizens have responded in great num-
bers to the appeal of an institution
whose work they have never seen
demonstrated. However, with the evil
dence of its efficiency in organizing

.-
An intelligent dramatization of Ber-
tina M. Clay's novel, Dora Thorne,
will be the offering at the Fargo OPP
erahouse this evening. The story of
Dora Thorne is fraught with heart in
terest The situations are strong, and
the climaXes effective. The play is
splendidly staged and a superb scenic
display adds to the attractiveness of
the performance. Miss Maud Brandon
will be seen in the title role.
Checkers, Henry M. Blossom, jr.'
popular racing comedy, is a typical
example and perhaps the best one that
is working at present, of a popular
American play. Only a deaf and blind
man could possibly be bored by it's
performance, and anyone who could
watch it without becoming absorbed
by it's keen, breezy story, amused by
its varied wealth of comedy and NOV
ed by it's sentiments, should give up
theatregoing altogether.
