of Minnesota, etc. Even among the eastern
states, New York and Pennsylvania, each have
nearly eight times the area of the two states in
question, while in the far southwest Texas could
furnish more than fifty times the of the
two states combined and probably has actual
grain lands more than thirty times the size of

But another interesting comparison is posi-
Bile. In the year 1906 the total cereal crops of
the American people were follows:
Corn-2 1927, 416O91 bushels.
Wheat-735, 26O,9O7 bushels.
Oats-964, 904, 522 bushels.
Rye-33, 1893 bushels.
Barley-17S, 9164s4 bushels.
Buckwheat-14,641 1927 bushels.
The yield of corn as already indicated, was
303 bushels per acre. the yield of wheat 1875;
the yield of oats 31.2; rye 1877; barley 1873;
buckwheat 1856
Dividing each Of the crop totals by the yield
per acre we may fnd( may take the acre
age directly from the Statistical Abstract), that
the cereal crops of the United States in the year
1906 covered 1s4,117047 acres, or, dividing this
by 64O the number of acres in a square mile,
we find the total of the grain fields of the
American people in the year 1906 to have been
2s7, $50 square miles.

"Faust" Saturday, May 2.

The play of Faust which is to be
presented at the Opera House on Sat
urday, matinee and night is 4 master
piece, and one that everybody ought to
see. 1t is the best lesson one can have
from moral standpoint. The Broken
scene alone is marvel, showing as it
does the revels and orgies of the de
mons, fiends, imps, COLLINS and the
WithceS on the summit of Mt Broken,
the highest peak in the famous Hartz
Mountains on Walpurgis night, under
command of the arch king of all evil,
Mephisto. Words fail to describe the
grandeur of the awe-inspiring and ma
jestic scene with it's marvellous cleo
trical effects, including the fire flies,
floating visions, flaming swords, NOV
ing owls, dazzling balls of real light
ming and the gorgeous, terrifying
shower of electric fire. The most ter
rife and grandest results of modern

a fun statement if it would in any way
allay excitement, but he considered the
rumors from Europe hardly worth at

1t is conceded among the fnanciers OF

are entirely due to two causes-over-
expenditure for the army, the ANY and
the naturalization of railroads, which
is now considered to have been a vital
error in national finance.
