evening was one of the very best
entertainments ever given in the
city and was enjoyed by a large
crowd, all of whom were very
flattering in their compliments
on the work of Prof. Price in the

ton. Every number on the pro-
gram was good and all are entitled
to special mention, but the cOrnet
solos by MesSrs. E. E. Epperson
Fand R. A. Charles, and the from
bone duet by Earl Riley and Jack
Bullock, were especially good.

part in a highly creditable man.

by the agricultural department
today.
The value of field crops is Civ

siderably more than twice as
much as 1913, and $52,O0O,OOO in
excess Of 1912. the best preceding
year. The value of field crops
averages more than 'Sl,500 for
each of the states l77,S41 farms.
Wheat alone this year was worth
more than all combined farm pro-
ducts in 1887, and the value Of
wheat, corn and oats exceeds the

The value of their products is
less, also, and the decrease in the

though the number of milk cows
has decreased, the value Of butter
