HOWARD GLEE CLUB
 HAS ITS PREMIERE
Chorus Numbers and Solos by Robert Lawrence
 Feature Concert

The chorus numbers and the selections of Robert Lawrence featured the premiere of the Howard College Glee club at the Jefferson theatre last night.
 The Howard college vocallsts, about 40 in number, gave a concert that made a distinctly favorable impression with the dei ed, and the chorus seemed to be splen- didy trained.
 Robert Lawrence, baritone soloist and director, was given an ovation when he sang three selections and encores Danny Deever," by Walter Damrosch, was rendered in a superb manner, and Since You Went Away and Keys ot Heaven" were followed by rounds of ap- plause MT. Lawrence has a baritone voice that is rich in tonal qualities and unusual in range. His singing featured the concert.
 The chorus numbers of the programme were very pleasing. The members of the Glee club showed evidence of practice and no little natural ability. Roney Hilliard and the triple quartet offered a novelty that made hit with the audience, when during "A Rose That Grows In Dreamland," he distributed roses among the audience. The pro- gramme was of a dignified character, though there were few of the lighter selections

TELLS ON THE KIDNEYS

Prescott People Have Found This To
 Be True.
 The strain of oyerwork tells on weakened kidneys The hurry and worry of business men, the heavy lifting and stopping of workmen, the woman household cares, tend to wear, weaken and injure the kidneys until they can no longer filter the poison from the blood and the whole body sui fers from the waste matter that aCCG- mulates Weakened kidneys need quick assistance Doans Kidney Pills aresprepared especially for weakened kidueys tired, worn. out backs have proven their merit in thousands of such cases. Convincing proof of their worth in a Prescott citizens statement.
 W M. Weeks, blacksmith, Prescott, says: About year ago, l had to stop work for time, owing to weak kidneys. My back pained me and on stopping to shoe horses. l had sharp pains across my loins Often my an kles became swollen and the flesh un- der my eyen puffed up. My kidneys acted lrregularly and the kidney secre- tions were scanty. l couldn't sleep we'll and was very nervous, After using a box of Doan 5 Kidney Pills, procured at Hesteriy's Drug Store, l was able to work without pain in my back.

show that crop conditions were better in the month of June seven years out of ten, and that 1 the crop conditions got worse in- stead ot be ter in every single Tn nine of taa ten years the crop condition was worse III July than June, in August and Sep temter there was st;I more fa . ing off. This report has refer ence to cottcn, but it also applies in a measure to corn and some of the other crops. Just now many farmers are laying by their corn crops. Most of them l should have one or " two IT. ore cultivations. Cultivate shallow and lay by shallow. sDon't ridge up the corn. If youl. have cultivated l. properly it will stand up without a ridge and surely 1t will stand drouth bet ter. The late cultivations pay best. When you raise a calf to be a yearlinR you don't turn him out and expect him to make a living for himself the balance of his life. Treat your corn crop like you would a yearling. Don't turn it loose to take care of itself and fight the weeds and grass and dry weather just at the most important stage of it's l life, when it is just getting ready to make the grain. It needs plant food, moisture and protection from the weeds and grass for the next thirty days more than any other time. If you don't believe what say. just try it on a few rows of good corn and then let me know in the fall after you gatherl the corn.
 Those who can shouldE'get some crimson clover, winter vetch and winter rye and SOW at the last blowing. This will make you a winter pasture and cover crop, and when.you blow under in the spring. will. make your soil better. This will beat buying so much fertilizer. Let the land make some oflits own fertilizer. This system will beat cowpeas. Every farmerinwho has pea patch should blow un- der part of it, just to see the difference it will make ina the land next year. Tryss this, if
 nly on a small strip. You will
 earn something from it. When the peas put on their full bloom and before any peas are mature, .ake the disk harrow and disk, lhen cross disk, and then blow

serious proposition, and yet it can be
just as surely managed as the small
patch if only thorough enough methods
are employed. Great persistence is re-
quired in keeping right after the pest
until it is gone for good.
TO rid large fields of quack grass two
things are essential-frst, the ready
prevention of all green leaf growth;
second, bringing the roots out of the
ground by some means easier and
quicker than hand digging. Summer
following is regarded by many as the
best way to accomplish this.
Some have smothered the weeds by
means Of a thick heavy growth of some
crop like hemp, rye or clover AS a
rule, however, when quack grass has
once taken full possession Of field no
other crop, no matter how thickly
sown, can be relied upon to control or
eradicate it. !.

ABOUT SMALL FRUITS.

Hurry the picked berries into a cool
place out of the sun
Keep your eye on the currant and
gooseberry bushes; often there is sec
ond brood of the currant worm pest.
Don't pick wet berries for market.
Wait until they dry off. Wet berries
are soft and do not ship well.
Light one inch mesh fish netting
makes an excellent covering for ripen-
ing berries that attract the birds.
Scarecrows and strings often fail; net
ting is sure and not expensive for
small areas.
Spray the grapevines with the Dor
deaux-arsenate Of lead mixture, the
first application soon after the fruit
sets, the second about ten days later
and the third about two weeks after
ward. This helps to prevent rot,
wormy grapes and other troubles. A
further help is to put paper bags on
the grape clusters when the berries are
the size Of small shot and leave them
there until harvest time.

Great Persistence ls Required In Get
ting Rid Of tho Pest.
Prepared by Wisconsin station.l
There is no sleight Of hand way of
getting rid of quack grass.
A Douglas county farmer who has
had successful experience along this
line was right when he wrote, "Any
one who starts out to exterminate
quack grass must begin with the. un-
Outstanding that his undertaking will
exact of him an unlimited amount of
grit, determination, back ache and ell
bow grease
The method to be used depends,
among other things, upon the nature of
the field and upon how thick the weed
is growing. On small areas Of not over
two or three rods square it is perhaps
most easily and effectively killed by
smothering. Tar paper or some like ma
terial has been used with good results.
To make smothering successful, ac-
cording to A. L. Stone, state weed In
spector, the material must be extended
well over the edges Of the patch. Sue
cess depends almost entirely on shut,
ting out all the light from all the weeds.
If they do not get the light the plants
cannot grow and will soon die.
On large areas smothering is hardly
practicable. An acre or a whole field
overgrown with quack grass is more

Tomato Worm Control.

The proper method of tomato worm
control in small patches is hand pick
ing and in larger gardens or fields use
of lead arsenate spray or paris green,
according to George A. Dean, professor
of entomologyfin the Kansas State Ag-
ricultural college.
When spraying with arsenate Of
lead use two and one-half pounds Of
dry material to fifty gallons Of water"
advises Professor Dean. One pound Of
fresh stone lime should be used with
every pound of paris green to prevent
burning of the foliage The paris green
spray should be used with care.
