One Fifth Of The Crop is Said
to Be Yet Unmarketed

Grand Forks, N. D.. March a.
Carefully complied statistics show
that northwestern farmers are still
holding millions of bushels of last
seasons wheat crop, in the neighbor-
hood of one-fifth of the total yield, in
addition to seed grain, being yet on
the farms. This means that 5O,0OO,OOO
bushels OF wheat are yet available
for the market.
These figures are compiled from re.
ports submitted by the bankers in
the larger cities of the three states
and are considered conservative. The
estimates are as follows:
MinnesOta-1912 crop, 81 ,03S,0 900; per
cent, 25 reserves March 1, 16,759,OOO
bushels.
North Dakota-1912 crop, 143,S20,'
900 bushels; per cent, 10; reserves
March /, 27,325,000 bushels.
South Dakota--1912 crop, so, 1876, 900
bushels; per cent, -: reserves March
Il, 50,346.0O0 bushels.
IL these figures are approximately
correct they mean that nearly twice
as much wheat is now in the farm
ers' hands as a year ago, above the
average compared with government
estimates on farm reserves year
ago, as follows:

Richard Wagner Concert.

The last Of the series of four con-
certs given under the direction of
Miss Jessie Rice was given last
night at the Mankato Theatre by
Richard Wagner, solo cellist of the
st. Paul Symphony orchestra, assist
ed by Miss Rice at the piano. Mr..
Wagner proved himself an artist as
recitalist and gave a delightful
program which in variety of form it
would be difficult to equal The pro.
gram was opened by the charming
"Gavotte" in d major, by Pepper,
which was given a delicate interpre-
tation, and with this the "Adagio,"
by the same composer, which was a
contrast in broad tone study. This
was followed by three movements
| from the Suite by Grieg in antique
style, called after Holberg. the Dan
| ish dramatist of the eighteenth Gen.
fury. This was for piano solo, and
was we'll interpreted by Miss Rice.
Mr.. Wagner then repeated the "Vari.
ations Symphonique," by Boellmann,
which he gave here with the orches-
ira. This is one Of the finest OF
modern compositions and lost moth,
| ing by the change to piano accom-
paniment. Mr. Wagner responded to
an encore with Saint-Saens' "The
Swan" Two smaller numbers fol
lowed this, the Spanish Serenade, .
| by Friml, and a charming 'RO.
nance by Debussy. Miss Rice gave
two numbers by Schumann, "Aufsch-
wung' (Soaring) and "Warum''
tWhy). from the "Phantasiestuecke,' -
Opus II. These were we'll received,
and many expressed an especial liK.
ing for the second of these num-
bers. Mr.. Wagner closed the program
with a brilliant rendition of the con
cert "Polonaise" by Pepper, and in
response to an encore he gave the
"Elegie" by Massanet 1t has been a
long time since a Mankato audience
/ had heard a recital of instrumental
music Of this character and it is to
| be hoped that Mr.. Wagner will re.
turn in the near future. His beau.
| tiful tone and easy technique are
not often to be found combined by
| players of the cello, one of the most
difficult instruments to master. Miss
Rice added much to the success OF
| the recital by her excellent accom-.
parliament.
The music lovers Of MankatO and
vicinity have been treated to four
| fine concerts and Miss Rice deserves
much credit for bringing them here
