Seeding is now general in all parts
of the county. The ground is in nice
condition for such work. In this sec.
ton feed crops will be more extensive
than last year. The acreage of wheat
will be reduced slightly, if we judge
rightly. The complaint by the mill.
ers against bearded wheat has had
the effect of reducing the acreage in
that line. Some have substituted
durum for the bearded variety, and
some are going back to the Blue Stem
The acreage of corn will be fully as
large, if not in exces of last year.
"A sumptnous production of Sarah
Bernhard ssfamous play, "a Woman
of Mystery with Courtenay Morgan
in the roll of "Ayesha" is underlined
for the opera house on the 18th day
of April. Managers. Walter and Way
have surrounded Miss Morgan with
an especially able company. Specia.
scenery is carried for each and every
act and the costumes are such that
the title, "the best dressed actress or
the American stage" is more fully
deserved than ever before. This should
prove to be one of the dramatic events
of the season and a crowded house is
predicted.
