FARMING
EMMER IS A GOOD
VIBRATOR WINTER
Has Proved Drouth Resist
ing and a Most Sue
cessful Crop

Washington, D. C., Nov. 16.-Emmer
Is a sturdy species Of wheat that
has been experimental with for about
Is or 20 years. Now there seems to
be facts enough about its stability
to advise the use OF it in this country.
Almost all varieties OF emmer are
considerably resistant to drouth, and
certain varieties are resistant to rust.
Moreover emmer is a crop adapted to
general conditions more than any
other cereal.
Fan sown varieties are also quite
winter hardy. Emmer viii produce a
fair crop under almost any conditions
Of soil and climate but thrives best
in dry prairie region with hot sum-
yield. Emmer seems to have been
first grown in Switzerland but is now
a universal grain in Europe. An ex-
tenstve series Of trials OF winter en-
mer nave been made at AmaTilio,
Texas, and at Claiming, Texas. Both
OF these tests proved its great adapt
ability TO the region and to dry farm
ing conditions. The average for the
five years was 45-47 bushels to the
acre while the best crop was 1888
bushels to the acre.
Tests Show Up Well.
In reporting these tests it was stated
that the results demonstrated the
greater value OF the winter emmer
over the spring variety, as it is re-
sistant TO cold and drouth. There
seems to be a greater certainty of pro-
dUcing a crop Of emmer than OF bar
ley or oats. and its yield per acre Is
equaled only by wheat. and that is
not so adapted to the semi arid dis
tTicts as is emmer. Emmer IS used
for feeding live stock and IN this is
compared favorably with oats and
barley
It's ability to resist drouth has
been satisfactorily demonstrated and
Its hardness in this section Of the
country has been proved by the tests
at Nephi, Utah. When first intro
duced in America it was thought to
be hardy enough for the extreme north
but now II has been declared a truly
successful crop for the semi arid and
southern lautudes. 1t is also well
adapted to growth under irrigation
and will do well on a small quantity
Of water The hardness and drouth
resistance OF the variety known as
Black Winter" enlmer and its high
yield and excellent feeding qualities
make it a particularly desirable grain
for dry farmers who wish to raise
their own stock feed.

for nine performances II which MIR. Harris
received seventy per cent. or $3.50. -.
One must remember in considering TINS
showing that the attraction was headed by
an important star, Robert Edeson. with a
New York success. What about the less i'm
portant attractions which make up the bulk
OF the road companies;
In this connection one might state here
that in most instances the cost OF producing
the average play is greatly exaggerated tor
advertising purposes. To produce a play
with what Is known as broadway pro-
duction does not run 10 over ten thousand
dollars. and many of them less. But the
great loss comes because if the play Is fail
ure it costs lust as much TO take it of rs II
did to put it on. When the manager fits out
his play, the cost is his plant, his investment.
\ play IS not necessarily either a success or
failure upon first performance; the man
agcr having invested so much money. must
give the play every chance. II has 20 be
worked with, rewritten. all kinds Of changes
made frequent changes in cast become
imperative, and when all this has been
tried and the case is definitely proved hope
less. two weeks notice is due under con-
tract TO the actors, and when the books are
balanced a total loss Of twenty thousand to
twenty-five thousand dollars is shown on q
play that may have cost less than ten thou
sand dollars 10 stage
1t used TO be IN axiom that when man
ayers weekly expense account was over one
thousand TO twelve hundred dollars he was
in great danger, and in a measure this holds
good; but a manager with a New York sue
cess and with a reputation for maintaining
the standard OF his productions seldom gets
below a weekly outlay Of eighteen hundred
TO two thousand dollars. and as the average
road business for a company without a star
is good at thirty-tiyc hundred to four thou
sand dollars for the week, and his share
would be about sixty per cent. Of this, his
profits are not excessive. particularly when
one remembers that the least unusual cir
cumStance of local Importance is likely To
queer his business.
OF course there are smaller companies:
but very few whose weekly expenses may go
rs low rs seven hundred and fifty dollars.
