FARM LANDS WILL
Be In BIG DEMAND
More People Seeking for Farms
Than at Any Time Last Year
Railroaders Expect Rush,
PRICES ARE SURE TO GO UP

Railroad men who have to do with i'm
migration, assert that during the COM
ing spring and summer the demand for
farm lands will be the greatest IN years
and that the high prices at which farm
products are selling win stimulate real
estate values

this year when the cheap rates to those

movement was greater than upon any
occasion last year.
out Of Kansas City, according IN
George a. McNutt. district passenger
agent for the Katy road. there were
three trains OF homeseekers destined for
Texas most Of them going into the Gulf

ing.
While the high prices of all kinds OF
farm products have stiffened the prices
for farm lands, there has at yet been no
material advance. An advance is looked
for, however, within the next ninety
days. and lands that now are selling at
from 80 TO $50 per acre are expected to
go up 10 to 26 per cent and perhaps
more. These lands as a rule are with
out any improvements and are said to
be well adapted to general farming and
stock raising.

Music

The recital concert given last evening
at the Temple Israel by Mrs Lena Ellis
worth Dale, Mr.. Vernon c. Bennett, Mrs.
Louise Zabriskie and Mr.. Sigmund Lands
berg drew forth fair attendance OF
friends and music lovers in spite of the
inclemency of the weather Mrs. Dale
assisted by Mr.. Bennett and Mr. Lands
berg has been heard annually for sew
eral seasons, and each year one is again
impressed by the seriousness of her
beautiful quality, is enriched by careful
study, and her singing shows greater
breadth and maturity.
Mrs. Dale's part Of the program was
made up of songs which require much
from the singer. and demand versatility
by their contrast and variety. She opened
the program with the aria Farewell Ye
Hills" by Tsehaikowski, a dramatic mum
Der OF great range and technical diff
Guilty. Her singing OF the Strauss "Sere-
nade7 inrthe. SECOND group, was especially
suited to her voice and was very well
done. The "Fruelingsnacht" by schu-
mann. which closed the German group,
was so popular with the audience that 1t
was repeated. THE Lord Is My Shep-
herd" by Mr.. Thomas ]. Kelly Of Omaha
sung with the organ, proved a most
musical setting Of the Twenty-third
Psalm. breathing fervent religious senti-
ment through its quiet meditative mood.
This was a great contrast to the brilliant
aria II VIII Extol Thee" by Sir Michael
Costa, which followed it, also with organ
accompaniment. In the group OF English
songs the Pastorale by Carey and the
Irish melody, When Love Is Kind" were
especially well received, and the encore
For You" by Mr.. Landsberg. met with
cordial response. The "Elegie" by
Massenet, sung with violin obligato,
closed the program. and was sympathet-
ically interpreted.
Mr.. Bennett PLAYED the "Praeludium
Festlvum" from Sonata by Rene L.
Becker. in brilliant and musicianly man
ner. The full organ at the temple would
be more effective IL II were possessed

is 20 adequate in large building. Mr..
Bennett made the most of his resources.
however, and later In the program pre-
sented a group OF shorter numbers with
varied registration and good taste. He
responded TO an encore.
Mr. Landsberg's Sonata for violin and
piano. played by the composer and Mrs.
Zabrislie. was heard under the most
favorable circumstances, and confirmed
the impression II had previously made
of its musieianly workmanship. Every
movement was interesting, the first one
especially. and the Adagio in the second
followed by the dainty scherzando and
leading back TO tempo one was well
worth the attention. The third movement

tion by the enthusiastic audience. Mrs
zahriskie deserves credit for her share
in the evenings enjoyment. She draws a
firm bow, and plays with breadth and
musical ability Mr.. Landsberg and Mr.
Bennett furnished the accompaniment.

drawer of her writing desk and slipped
TO the second floor, where she found "A

aware OF her presence.
Don't shoot, lady. don't shoot" he
pleaded, drawing the hat over his eyes
and shielding side OF his face with the
coat.
You keep your hands up and get down
those stairs" commanded Mrs. Allen,
keeping the fellow covered with the
wS@osn.
"Re careful. lady, be careful Don't
pull that trigger" begged the intruder.
Don't call the police. I'll go away"
BY this time the pair had reached the

Stable Manure Best For Corn Crops
Too Late to Crop Corp Crop
Stable Be Had for the Asking.
By C. NJ GARREN
AgrOnonist NJ College

Mountain soils are deficient in phos-
phOric acid. 1 advise young WOuld-be
bumper crop corn growers to use at
least 200 pounds per acre Of 10 percent
acid phosphate. The nitrogen must be
supplied literally and in a form that
it be gradually rendered available
throughout the entire growing season.
The usual commercial sources of nitro
gen. cotton seed meal. dried blood and
nitrate Of soda. are too readily avail
able to meet the latter requirements
Besides their cost prohibit their use in
profitable corn growing
One Of the best means Of securing
nitrogen for corn growing is to grow
a crop of one Of the winter legumes
and then turn il under in the spring
as green manure. The annual clOvers
are well suited to this purpose. A
crimson clover crop that has been Of
ficiaIIy measured. yielded 1893 pounds
of hay and 1906 pounds Of air dry mat
ter in the roots per acre The hay ana
roots together furnished 164 pounds OF
nitrOgen-14 pounds more than Is re-
ouired to grow 100 bushels of corn
This air dry matter in tops and roots
DECAYS to make humus and in the pro-
cess Of decay gradually yields up us

son A measured crop of spotted lear
bur clover yielded 6973 pounds Of ar
dry matter in tops and roots and 1bz
pounds of nitrogen

The corn plant is a gross feeder. \

hundred bushels of corn and the three

acid and potash are needed. there is.
but one way of securing them, they
have to be purchased on the market.
Mountain soils are rich in potash
At this time it is all but impossible to
buy any potash, because practically the
