TAE SPARTAMlURG FESTIVAL.
THE SECOND NIGHTS PRO-
CRANE CHARMED EVERYONE.
Eugene Onegin, TschaikOwski's Great
opera Produced by Company of
Great Artist--Damrosch's Orchestra
Was Beyond Criticism.

special to The DALI Item.
Spartanburg, April 22.-The second
concert OF the festival was heard to-
night. The most brilliant success
crowned the efforts of the artists and
the chorus under the training Of Mr..
Arthur L. Manchester, attained the
highest perfection in the history of
converse. During the rehearsal this
morning Mr.. Damrosch made such re-
marks as the following: Dear singers
and people Of the South, what could
De better than the work you've done ?"
And speaking to the men he said.
You leave nothing to be desired"
from such a conservative man, these
words are most eloquent.
Between the first and second acts
OF Eugene Onegin," Mr.. Damrosch
presented beautiful baton as a gift
OF the gentlemen of the chorus to Mr..
Manchester, as a token of their esteem
ano symbol Of his skill. This act
was heartily applauded and clearly
cvinced with what appreciation and
in what esteem Mr.. Manchester is held
in Spartanburg. The evening was de-
voted to the wonderfully dramatic
opera, Eugene pnegin," by Tschai-
kowski. In this work the author has
run the gamut of woman's emotions,
and with consummate genius fit the
spirit OF the music to the meaning and
mood Of the plays action. II the plot
OF the opera had not been read, the
music would have given an intelli-
gent idea Of the opera without doubt
The artists were Mrs. Corinne Rid
er-Kelsey, Mrs. Helen Sherman Cue,
Miss Nevada Van Der veer. Mr.. Reed
Miller, Mr.. Frederick Weld and Mr..
Gustaf Holmquist. Especially fine was
the work Of Mr.. Miller who is a
South Carolina boy. His voice was in
rare shape, and especially did the au-
dience enjoy his love song to Olga,
impersonated by Miss Van Der veer
to whom Mr.. Miller is engaged to be
married shortly. This delightful in
cident seemed to add ardor and depth
to Mr.. Miller's Interpretation. Mrs.
Rider-Kelsey Of Covent Gardens. Lon
don, charmed her hearers as " Tat
yana." Her high soprano voice was
the medium Of deepest feeling and her
difficult task was accomplished with
seemingly perfect ease. Mr.. Weld in
the title role was great. He has not
been heard before in Spartanburg. but
he created such splendid impression
that the festival managers will GER
tainly welcome him for future engage
ments. Mr.. Damrosch and his or
chestra are beyond criticism. The au-
ditorium seats $500 people. Tonight
about 600 seats were not taken. How
ever on Friday evening, artists night.
il is expected the house will be filled.

will approximate 81 bushels per
acre. The total oats will be
about 54,871, 900 bushels for
this state, against 32,738,000 in
1908.
Barley also shows a gain. The
barley acreage of 1908 in North
Dakota was 94O, 900 acres. This
year $4,000 acres have been
sown to the grain. Acre yield
this year if the reports hold
true, will be about 1915 bushels
as compared to 1875 bushels in
1908, while the total yield will in
crease from $4,000 900 in the
state in 1908 to about 32,176,9 900
bushels in accordance with the
present prospects.
The flax acreage does not
show much increase in total
acres sown, about 100000 acres
in North Dakota each year. The
prospects for 1909, however, for
acre yield and total, are good,
with an estimated acre yield of
1879 this year against 9 bushels
per acre in 1908, or a total yield
of 21,267,OOO bushels in 1909,
against 10, 100000 bushels in
1909, against 10, 600 bushels
in 1908.
It is generally true and this
year bears out the statement so
far, that the ordinary change in
crop conditions for the ordinary
change in crop conditions for the
northwest during the last month
of maturity, is for the worse,
sometimes caused by heavy rain,
heat, rust, hail or other weather
conditions, or insects. and it is
probable that the results this
year will be less than those
figures stated above. However,
allowing for an average change
of conditions there will still be
left a much larger harvest of all
small grains, wheat, fax, oats,
barley and rye. than was har-
vested in 1908, and this will
bring a vast amount of money to
all the farmers at the present
market price.

During the long run of "A
Knight for a Day" in Chicago
solid year-the young women of
the chorus came to be know as

because of the unusual personal
charm of its members. It is
seldom that the management of
a compelling attraction lays spe-
cial stress upon the hard-work-
ing girls who form the animated
background of a musical play,
but those having in charge the
publicity work for "A Knight
for a Day" evidently wish it to
be known that the young ladies
with the organization which comes

commonly good to look upon.

Above his own signature, Bis
mop Mann of the Protestant
Episcopal church, North Dako-
ia, expresses the following
sincere tribute to the late Bishop
Stanley in the August issue of
The North Dakota Sheaf.
The death of the Rt. Rev.
John Stanley, D. D., Roman
Catholic bishop of Fargo, de-
mands sorrowful mention from
every paper devoted to the in
terests of North Dakota.
For some twenty years he
held his high position, not sim
ply with jealous and skil1ful toll
for the advancement of his own
church, but with a large and
loyal service to the state.
In the onward and upward
movements for material and
moral improvement he has been
a leading fgure-notablY, in the
overthrow of the shameless
facilities for divorce, once in
our statutes.
It is a pleasure for me to say
that my personal relations with
Bishop Stanley were ever most
agreeable. He was one of the
first citizens of Fargo to call up
on me, and extend hearty greet
ings, when I arrived in North
Dakota. During the last seven
years we have met frequently
on railway trains and elsewhere
and always for cordial converse
ton. His "reminiscences of the
early days of his residence in
North Dakota were amusing
and instructive, and his conf
dence as to the future of the
state was inspiring:
With deep regret I recognize

VAST INCREASE IN
1909 GRAIN CROPS

From present indications the
increase in the yield of grain
this year in the three great wheat
raising states of the northwest.
North Dakota, South Dakota and
Minnesota. will be a tremendous
advance over the yield for 1908.
Although it is difficult to esti-
mate the yield with accuracy, the
acreage can be estimated with
certainty and from carefully
gathered reports 1t is now known
that it is far greater than that of
last year.
The Market Record of Mime
apolis sent out $500 letters to all
sections of the three states named
and the replies show his big in
crease in acreage and also in.
dictate a big increase in the yield.
The total amount of wheat in
the three states from the govern
ment report of 1908 amounted to
Il, 213 900 acres against 15,297,-
600 in 1909, an increase of 1885,
900 acres. The wheat acreage
in North Dakota in 1908 was S.
$780, 900 while in 1909 the acreage
approximates 6,371,OOO acres
sown to wheat. North Dakota
leads this year in total acreage,
having approximately 6,371,O00
acres in wheat. Minnesota has
5,731,OOO, and South Dakota, g.
10000.
The prospective yealdthis year
is still greater per acre in proper
ton. The yield in North Dako-
ia is shown by the correspon-
dent to be approximately 1872
bushels this year compared to
11.6 bushels in 1908. The wheat
yield for 1900 inaccordance with
these figures will be nearly 49,
952,O 600 bushels. The total yield
of wheat in 1908 for North Dako-
ia was 68,428,OOO bushels.
In North Dakota the increase
in oats both to acreage and yield
is also marked. The total oats
acreage for this state in 1908
was 1,1339,O00 bushels. In 1909
the estimated acreage is 1885,
600. The yield per acre for
1908 for North Dakota was 1874
