tions of the auditorium they viii oc-
cupy. Because Of the transfer of the

the balcony seats win be used. as the
main floor has a seating capacity Of

the season.
\ difference of four or five inches
in the amount Of water stored in the
soil may mean very great difference
in the yield. There has to be put in
to the soil we will say nine inches Of
water before the soil gets all it takes
for it's own use. Ii twelve inches are

for the use OF the CROP. Ii SIXTEEN
inches are stored there is more than
twice the moisture available than
there is in the case where twelve

IA larger yield. In the spring Of 1905,

of moisture in the upper six feet of
