THE CHAUTlUQUA.

Tuesday was a record-breaker in
the way of attendance. People who
had not been near the ChactaGqua ,e-
fore came out to hear the Innes Band,
and they brought their neighbors
along. The hitch rack was early TAX
en- up with teams, and new wires for
tying were an early necessity. With
al it was an orderly crowd, such as
naturally visits place where the ten
dency is towards the betterment of
life. Everybody was intent on get
ting all possible out of the program.
Tuesday Afternoon.
The program opened with the Welsh
Jubilee Singers, who seem to have
found a warm corner in peoples
hearts and who receive hearty
greeting each number Then came
Col. Bob Seeds in his lecture, How
God Made the Earth Fertile" 1t was
the talk of a practical farmer to prac-
tical farmers. Mr.. Seeds is a man
who some fourteen years ago was told
by his doctors he must get out OF
town if he wished to live. He bought
a farm in Chester county, Pennsylva'
mia, an old, worn out farm, and set
tied down to make a good one of it.
1t was long struggle, but by a ser.
les of crops plowed under to make a
new soil, he succeeded. Cow-horu
turnips was one of his chief dependen
cies and he talked likewise of sweet
clover as fertilizer. He believes in
natures remedies for the soil rather
than in artificial fertilizers. The tab
ernacle was so crowded during Mr.
Seeds address, ana there was SO much
restlessness on the part of those who
were not interested that he could not
be well heard.
