BIG THREE-RING WILD ANIMAL
SHOW COMING

Contracting agent, William X. Peck,
arrived in town Wednesday arranging
for the appearance of AL G. Barnes
Wild Animal Circus that will give two
performances here Tuesday, June "a.
In answe to e questions by
the reporter of the Register he said:
1T is with great pleasure and pride
that / offer the following remarks in
connection with our appearance in
your city. It is not my purpose to IN
large upon the manifold features that
We present in the Barnes Show, but
rather to emphasize the belief that it's
maintenance in public favor is due
very largely to the support accredited
us by the more discriminating element
in society, the element hat Is partial
to good clean amusement. The best
years of Barnes life have been devoted
to the education of wild and domestic
animals from all parts of the known
world. ! think l may say his efforts
have been attended with a fair amount
of success, as today he has the great
est and most sensational animal show
in America. Early in his career he
became convinced that a tented show
of high class animal acts presented
in a way to please refined audiences
would be given liberal financial SID
port-an entertainment that was clean,
wholesome and devoid Of reprehensible
features. The Barnes Show LIS a west
ern organization, and aims to establish
itself in the minds of the public in so
favorable a manner that it's annual
visit may be regarded as a welcome
event. Everybody should see our novel
street parade that takes place at 1890
a. ma decided novelty in street
parades."

WHY WHEAT Is BETTER AFTER
CORN

In taking soil moisture samples at
the South Dakota Experiment Station
this spring some striking differences
were found in the amount Of water in
the land which grew corn in 1912 as
compared with the land which grew
wheat. For example, n plot which
grew IL bushels Of wheat in 1912 con-
tains IL per cent OF water now, while
the plot adjoining, only separated by a
road twenty feet wide which grew 4s
bushels Of corn in 1912 now contains
"a per cent Of water, just twice as
much. This is due to conservation of
moisture by ~culdvating and by catch
ing snow which lodged in the corr
stalks. This shows one reason why
wheat yields better after corn.-By

mist, State College.
