GOOD CROP BY DRY FARMING
Prof. Thomas Shaw Makes Interesting
and Instructive Talk on Con-
servatlon Of Moisture.

Prof. Thomas Shaw, who gave a
very interesting and instructive talk
on dry farming at the Minot Farmers
institute, has had charge of AZ de-
nomination farms in Montana the past
season. 1t was very dry there so the
results that he got are significant. Be-
low are some OF his statements:
I feel sure that If the land had been
farmed as it should and as it could in
1909 and 1910 that the crop in 1910
would have been at least twice what
It was. From the experience that I
have had I am sure that 1t Is possible
to grow good crop in North Dakota
every year II the moisture is saved.

Ing system. OF the farms that l had
charge of last summer the result was
failure in every case where the land
did not have the right preparation the
year before. Where it had there was
crop. Not as large as can be raised,
but a crop that will go long way
toward paying expenses and great
deal larger than was raised here with
a much larger rainfall. At Chester
the rainfall was 7 inches from Sep
TENDER, 1909, to September, 1910, and
31a inches during the growing season,
and the yields were 10 to IS bushela.

PLUMES AND FLOWERS RIVALS.
Big Hats Lovely With Either &C Trim
mings.

The big hats of the season are when
at their best extraordinarily lovely.
and though one finds some freakishness
among them they are on the whole
picturesque and becoming without be-
ing sensational. says the New York Sun.
Plumes play a somewhat more impor-
tant role than they usually do upon
the summer hat. but as the season ad-
vances flowers assert themselves more
and more and surely never were artifi-
cial flowers so lovely as they are now.
Roses of all kinds are initiated so won
derfully that except where size is ex-
aggerated or unnatural one could al
most believe them to be fresh flowers.
and there are other artificial roses that
do not hold the mirror up to nature but
are charming in their own unnatural
way-flowers and foliage of very sheer
muslin, for example. in white or pink or
other tint, quite unshaded of texture
and altogether unlike flower petals.
but soft and airy and dainty and eff
fective when cleverly used.
other flowers are made in this ma
terial too. lilies with wide flaring petals
being especially good in white. In one
shop whose owner is noted for the or
igipality of his models there was seen
a big hat wreathed in lilies made of
dotted muslin. the dots of the smallest
possible size and thickly scattered. and
though in the telling the thing sounds
bizarre. in reality it was charming.
Apropos of finely dotted muslin there
are some very attractive summary look
ing models of Leghorn or other fine
braid whose crowns are covered
smoothly with dotted muslin and whose
brims are covered with the muslin on
the outside to within a few inches of
the edge. This edge is OF straw. as is
the under side of the brim.
Other hats are entirely Of the muslin
but differ from the traditional lingerie
hat in that they are smoothly stretched
and shaped instead Of being shirred
and puffed. OF course the latter type
of lingerie model is shown too and will
be more in evidence as summer adj
vances. but IL is very likely to take
some picturesque bonnet form this year
instead of being built on Tapping bebe
lines
1t is safe to assert that three fOurths
of the large hats are variations upon
the idea of the shape with vide brim

THE Girl from Reotors" at the Opera
House Saturday Evening

THE Girl from Rectors' which had
a run of over three hundred nights at
Weber's Music hall, New York. will
be seen at the Bennington opera
house on Saturday evening, March
If.
Paul NJ Potter is the author of the
work, and despite the fact his past
has been identified with plays Of
serious nature, he hit upon a vein Of
humor in "The Girl which astonish-
ed even his most ardent admirers. II
is long step from play OF the ma
ure OF "Trilby" of which he was the
author to an offering like that OF his
latest creation. The New York crit
les declare that he has made a name
for himself in the field OF comedy
which will survive his former reputa-
ton.
There isn't dull line throuhout
"The Girl from Rectors' and not a sit
uation that cannot be understood and
appreciated by any one. The sue
cess Of the piece may be judged from
the fact that its earning capacity at
Weber's was many times greater than
that of the same house when the Web
or and Fields offerings there were the
sole topic of New York's theatrego-
| ing public
