Corn Crop May Be
Feature

Commissioner j. H. Perkins of
the state department of agricul-
ture, believes that corn is to be a
product of this state within a short
time that will rank the equal if not
the superior of alfalfa. notwith-
standing the great advance made in
the production of the latter within
the last few years. To substantiate
his belief, he cites the production
of large yields of corn in the Yaki-
ma valley, where yields of so to
100 bushels an acre are already be-
coming common.
simultaneously with the increased
production Of corn comes also the
production of hogs. thinks Commits
sioner Perkins. the demand for low.
er priced meats being one of the
leading factors IN making the state
turn to the production of corn as
one of the crops to be rotated in
succeeding years by the successful
farmer.
Commissioner Perkins left fol-
North Yakima to attend the corn
show, the first of it's kind ever held
in the Yakima valley. Numerous
fine samples of corn have been re.
ceived at the Office Of the depart.
ment in the state house, and are he.
ing displayed together with all man.
ner of agricultural and garden pro.
ducts.

HARD TEST FOR SINGERS.
Making Talking Machine Records q !
Difficult Task.

= .8f
It is well known that the grand
opera stars make q great deal Of
money singing into the talking ma
chimes Of various concerns, in order
that these companies may manufac-
ture the records for sale, but the
fact that almost without exception
grand opera star would much
rather sing before the most critical
audience than before talking ma
chine is by no means generally
known.
In the first place it is rather un-
canny standing in big empty room
before a mammoth horn protruding
from between curtains, with the
conductor away up high where be
will not interrupt the sound waves,
and the orchestra composed Of
weird looking instruments made
especially for this work.
The singer stands on little
wooden platform at the mouth of
the receiving trumpet.
A red light is flashed, and the
queer little orchestra gets to work.
Then at the. crucial moment the
artist has to sing to this strange
little assembly with the same zest
he would under the inspiration Of
brilliant lights, beautiful clothes,
splendid settings and an applaud
ing audience. It is an ordeal, be-
cause he has to sing with far great
er care in front Of the talking ma
chine than is required when an
audience is pleased. The slightest
variation means start over, a
slight clearing of the throat, deep
breath or slight shuttle of the feet
and the revolving disks record
every one of those faults and the
record is spoiled. But these faults
are all criticised by an experienced
record director, and it is his BUSH
ness to see that nothing short of
the perfect records are produced
because from these first molds are
made all of the thousands of rec
ords that go into so many homes.
When the artist has finished the
record is played over and the inn
PROJECTIONS criticised. The weak
spots are rehearsed and the whole
trying business commenced over
again. @
And so it is acknowledged by
many of the theatrical and musical
hall stars that to produce a record
of pure and distinct tone is far
harder than to make their way sue
cessfully through a whole operate
score. 1t is tremendous task to
get set of the perfect records
from the opera favorites. 1t has
been said that Caruso has been
forced to spend more than four
hours of untiring work before he
was able to perfect his 'sRidi Pagli-
acct in the opera 81 Pagliacci,"
and in that time was forced to
make more than thirty fresh starts
before disk of pure and distinct
tone was obtained. Washington

teen hits were made off Ragon, who
went the distance for Brooklyn. Josh
DeVOre registered four singles, Cut
shaw a triple and two singles and
Tinker and Groh three singles each.
Johnny Bates acted as pinch hitter
in The eighth and smote a homer.
Miller Higgins is in a mood to
kick the family cat. His gang made
twenty-fOUr hits in two games
against Boston, but dropped the pair.
Miller got by with only two pitchers
in the first game, but had to use the
usual three in the second. Hess and
Rudolph pitched for Boston. The
double victory put the Braves ahead
Of st. Louis in the pennant race.
Myers of Boston swatted a homer
and two doubles in the double fray.
Higgins and Whitfield of the Cards
each got triple and three singles.
Here's real hard luck. Pitcher
Timmersman of the Chicago Feds
allowed Kansas City only one hit in
nine innings, but it was a homer in
the first inning following two passes.
Chicago could get only one run.
After much consideration, the
Federal League has decided not to
expand its circuit during the present
season. The promoters of the league
received requests from Detroit and

it would be poor policy to enlarge

that if the organization finished a
successful campaign with it's present
membership it will be in a stronger
position next year when the eight
club plans gets trial.

PANAMA Lecture
Was OF Interest

The lecture by Dr. F. V. Fisher on
the Panama Canal and Exposition last
night was attended by practically all
of the members of the legislature, and
many state officers, business men AMI
ladies. The audience OF over 700 was
intensely interested and many express
sed regret when the lecture closed.
The pictures of the exposition build
ings and grounds, old California mis-.
sions and the moving pictures of the
work on the canal were especially
we'll received.
Dr.. Fisher is a pleasing and enter
tanning speaker and impressed his
audience with the magnitude of the
undertaking which divides two contin-
ents to unite two oceans. He DEM
onstrated the national and interna-
tional scope Of the exposition to be
he'd in San Francisco in 1915, and
brought a spirit of mutual help and
benefit from the metropolis of the Pa
ciic. He assured the people of North
Dakota that The prime object of the
exposition management is to make the
great event of greater benefit to every
participating state than it is to the
exposition. Il:
