FARM NOTES.

There is every prospect that the DO
tato growers of Wisconsin will in the
future be called upon to produce an
even larger proportion of the tubers
needed to supply the demands for Sc
lect seed and choice market stock. AS
the growers recognize the advantage
of growing only few standard varie-
ties. they will realize more and more
from their crops. Nothing has done
more to injure the reputation of Wis
consin's potatoes than the indiscrim-
mate mixing of varieties and types.

The best act that has visited the city in months is holding forth at this playhouse now. having opened for the weeks run last evening. This is in the personages of Miller & Moore, offering a refined singing en-
 tertainment in conjunction with a pianologue The lady member of this clever team is a singing cOmedienne pure and simple. She seems to breathe the spirit of her work, and kept the house in continuous up- roar from the moment of her en- trance. Ragtime is her speciality, and she knows how to put it over. old Pep" has been injected into the act in large quantities and the result is all that could be desired The gen tie man at the piano is a master of that machine" and is largely re- sponsible for the success of the act on their opening. The Milmars. ex
 ponents of physical culture, were very well received, and perform very diffiduIt feats of athletics. into most of which main strength enters to large degree. They are both very clever performers. Billy and Ada White close the bill with a skit which they have termed, The Danc

 dicates, they are dancers, and real ones. Introducing both clog and fancy dancing as well as a nice line of songs, they meet with instant ap
 proval, and received a rousing round of applause at the conclusion of their efforts. The moving picture program is expectionally good, embracing the drama and an intensely interesting educational subject, showing a DOT ton of the steel industry, dealing especially with the forming and weld ing of the product. Taken all in all the offering this week is bound to meet with favor at the hands of the theater- going public, as it is one of the best that has visited the house.

FIGURES TAKEN
 FROM REPORTS
Of Secretary of Agriculture Place Newest State at Top in Crop Conditions, Which Are Generally V Poor This Year

While prospects for crop returns in the United States are generally less ehcOurag ging than the year before, the state Of Arizona is running far ahead of any other commonwealth in the seasons improvement This was dis covered in statement by the depart ment of agriculture, received Ne>ter- day. Briefly. the Arizona crop record compares to that of the next nearest competitor, Wisconsin, as IA to 10S.
 The bulletin is a statistical one. showing in closely computed numbers the relative values of the crop pros poet of the different sections for the season thus far advanced. In the roster of states. Arizona leads by d good margin. The figures are com piled to show the relation of this years crOppage to the average. which is represented by the number 100. Thus Arizona departs fourteen points from the average of it's crops for the last period in this case, ten years Kansas fell far below it's average with 5S.7 or nearly fifty per cent un- der it's record for the last decade California showed a loss represented by the number 15.3
 The figures are extremely cncOur- aging, to say the least. They show that while most Of the states have been falling below their averages for crop conditions on September first Arizona has made a tremendous stride. This does not mean that Ari- Z0na has produced more than any other state of less standing in the column. but it simply means that the newest state has made the greatest progress of all. But thirteen out of the forty eight states showed i'm prOVemcnt.

 That the revenue derived from the school lands on the forest reserves is increasing every year. and that better results are apparent in the state may be seen by a comparison of the fig ures of the past three years From the school lands alone on these forest reserves this year the state received ar income of S36.026.65 For the year preceding and hat was the first year of statehood. the reVenue was S21.7@7-11. while for the year preced- ing ArizOnas admission to the union the income from the same lands was cnlv S2725
 In addition to the above sums which are transmitted directly to the state from the government, the state ii benefited by another sum eXpend- ef in the state by the national gov ernment. This sum is tenth of the whole of the Arizona receipts. and is expended for the benefit of state roads in the national forests at the direction and dictation of the secre- tary of agriculture. with the ultimate aim of supplying to the forest re- serves the best roads in the United States.
