Next Attraction at Royal Hall.

1.-The Governors Pardon" which is
to be presented Tuesday evening, Sept.
oath, at Royal hall, is one of the most
human and dramatic stories that has
ever been offered on the stage. The
story of this great soul-stirring Ameri-
can play is laid in little eastern town
where oil wells of great value are plen-
tiful. 1t is truly one of the most
sparkling sessions of drama ever Of
fered to the play-goer of the small
cities. Every line is fresh to the over
flowing with both pathos and humor
that help to keep the audience on the
qui vive. A notable cast has been en-
gagged, thereby assuring those who
spend good money to see good per-
formances clean-cut, absolutely per-
feet performance. The management
has equipped this company with four
complete sets of beautiful scenery, not
a piece of house scenery being used in
the production. The specialties con-
tributed during the course of the play
are both funny and musical. Success
of the most pronounced sort and loyal
support of the public is the record of
this delightful drama and water-tight
and hole-proof guarantee is given to
every person who attends.

TOBACCO MARKETS
Continued From Page ~

quently we get frost in the middle of
September, but the chances must be
taken this year as the bulk of the crop
is not nearly ripe. A lot of backward
tobacco has been picking up lately and
making towards maturity, but there is
much tobacco SO very backward that it
is hard to see how it can amount to
anything before frost comes, even if
this should be very late this year.
With the movement of the 1911 pack
ing happier times are doubtless ahead
for the packers, who certainly deserve
some good future Detailing them, after
months and months of waiting because
nobody was doing much buying. The
1910 tobacco really appears now to be
pretty we'll cleaned out, taking the To-
cal market as a whole, though as a
matter of fact there is still a good deal
belonging to outside packers and man
ufacturers stored in Lancaster ware
houses. This is not in the market here
of course, and with this our packers
are not concerned. With the 1911 pack
ing it is different, and in it they are
very much interested indeed. In
quiet, unobtrusive way a lot of these
goods has been sold, good deal from
Tie warehouses O1 LdIlcdSCer pdChcIS,
but good deal more from country
warehouses. The prices named on some
of the sales indicate that very decent
profits are being received from this to-
bacco. Not big profits, but what the
packers should have. There is no dis
position to squeeze" on the presump-
ton that the trade must have the
goods. And the sales that have been
made, and are being made daily with
the numerous inquiries now coming in,
indicate that it is tobacco that the
trade wants. 1t is desirable packing
in spite of the black rot that is found
little too Astounding in most packings.
It burns we'll and has a fine aroma. For
filler goods it is 'tall there" and there
is quite good deal of wrappers to be
found in most packings.

RYE IN THE POTATO ROTATION
Rye Better Than Wheat in Potato Ro-
tation-No More Care Than Wheat
or Barley.
BY r. n. Demaree, Agronomist, J. !.
Case PIoW Works.

National Crop Improvement Service.]
There is a decided tendency among
potato growers to substitute rye il the
potato rotation in the place of wheat.
The original Terry rotation was wheat,
clover and potatoes. This rotation is
theoretically and practically correct
for potato growers and is widely used
throughout the whole country. Since
wheat is more uncertain than rye,
however, many growers are using the
last named crop as they cannot afford
to lose one crop out of three, especially
since that crop is the one that nurses
up the young clover.
Many uses can be made OF the rye
crop. Statistics show that the yield of
grain in the United States has been
somewhat higher per acre than wheat
and practically Of the same farm
value 1t is nc more trouble to care
for than bearded wheat or barley.
The crop can be pastured early and
is especially good for brood sows.
The grain may also be allowed to
ripen and then be hogged down in
stead of cut and threshed. For the
potato grower, however, perhaps the
best method would be to cut and
thresh the crop.

COST OF POWER.
A Wide Difference in the Cost o
Horses and Mechanical Power
on the Farm.
BY Raymond OIney, M. Rumley Co.,
La Porte, Ind.

National Crop Improvement Service
The first cost of a tractor as COM
pared to that of horses necessary to
supply an equal amount Of power
must always be considered in the
growing of crops. An engine which
will do the work of Is good horses
sells for $1,7OO. Fifteen horses at
$3.50 each (Which is a low price,
would cost $2,250. In this case the
advantage of the tractor is that it can
be worked to the limit of it's capacity,
and not be materially injured in so
doing, which is not possible with
horses.
According to Government figures, in
southeastern Minnesota, taken some
time ago, the cost of feeding horse
for one year is $3.50, and for Is
horses it would be, in round numbers,
S1,10O00. These horses average 94S
work hours per year. A Is H. P. trac-
tor working for 1000 hours will burn
about 5000 gallons of kerosene, which
will cost about cents per gallon. This
gives a fuel bill of $4,000. Oil, grease
and minor items would not exceed
$4,000. This shows large balance
on the tractor side.

Crop Improvement
Mix brains with sweat and your

A LARGER YIELD OF BETTER RYE
fRy Prof. /. c. Rurnett.l

National Crop Improvement Service.1
It would seem advisable to first con-
slider just what purpose we are en-
deavoring to raise rye.
Rye is now being used largely for
feeding as well as distilling purposes.
For the farmer who feeds his crop, the
yield per acre is of first Importance.
If on the other hand the crop is to be
sold, attention to a few usually
neglected items will make several dol
lars difference in the value of every
acre.
What is desired of the rye crop?
The interest of everybody concerned
in the rye crop is in the production
of high yield of uniform grain. Let
me repeat, high yield and uniform
grain" more bushels of one type OF
kernel, one size of kernel, one color
of grain.
How to Start Rye Center.
Any man interested in obtaining the
best results in rye should circulate
the following agreement and get
hundred or more sigrers.
Whereas. The rye of the United States
having become badly mixed, and

To attend a called meeting Of all the
signers hereto, and to agree one with
the other to SOW the number of acres set
opposite to our names for the season OF
1912, of the kind, type and variety of rye
best adapted to the soil and climate OF
this county.
To keep this grain pure and unmixed,
and when harvested to demand a grad
uated price at the elevator, according to
the quality of the grain when delivered.
That we will apply to the agronomy de-
pariment of our state college, for 1nfor-
nation as to where the best available
seed may be obtained.
That we will do everything in our pow

same variety so that eventually all the
rye shipped from this station will be
Uniform and free from mixture.

Ira U. Fisher Dies.

Ira u. Fisher, sheriff of Rock county
in 1907 and 1908 and one of its best
known and most highly esteemed citi-
zens, died at $50 O'Clock Wednesday
morning at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. VIM. Dixon, in the town of Cen
ter. The news of his death was receiv-
ed with surprise by many of his friends
who had been encouraged by reports of
an improvement in his, condition, and
brought forth EXPLANATIONS of poignant
regret and sorrow from all it's hearers.
Mr.. Fisher was surrounded by all the
members of his family at the time of
death. His friend, Chief of Police Ap-
pleby, was able to reach his bedside
Just half an hour before he passed
away.
For the last four weeks Mr.. Fisher
had been i'll and confined to his bed
with cerebral thrombosis, an obstruc-
ton of a blood vessel in the head by a
clot. He had not been able to be up
for more than a few minutes at time.
Four or five days ago he appeared to
be improving, and his physician enter
tanned hopes for his recovery, but heart
complications set in and he suffered
sinking spells, through which he grad
ually became weaker. He was par
TALLY conscious short time before his
death. Last winter Mr.. Fisher was
troubled with an affiiction in his head
but became very much better, being
able to work on his farm during the
early summer.
Funeral services were held at the
home in GAINESVILLE at 2:30 o'clock Fri
