AsoRN OPERA COMPANY MONDAY
"The Bohemian Grip to Be Presented
by Capable Cast at the Odeon.

Realism has been carried to such eX-
tremes in recent years that stage
directors have eXerted great ingenuity
in evolving new ideas. One Of the fore
EIost of these theatrical inventors is
Edward P. Temple. the wizard OF
s:agecraft" who conceived the New
York Hippodrome and who directed
the famous New York revival of THE
Bohemian Girl" made by the Aborn
Opera Company. There were rich OPP
portunities in the dramatic, romantic
story of this opera OF which former
directors had never taken advant-
age, all OF which Mr.. Temple utilized
to the full, with the result that THE
Bohemian Girl" in her new dress is
ike totally different opera from her
appearance as presented by other
opera companies. So successful was
this revival that the Aborn presenta-
ZION of THE Bohemian Girl has been
attracting large audiences for six sue

TO RECLAIM AN OLD PASTURE

A pasture that is failing can be
made to yield good grazing by drilling
into it in the early spring a mixture OF
two pounds of red clover, three lbs. o:
timothy and one lb., ofalsike to the
acre. If you have no disk drill with
which to sow the mixture, run over the
land with a disk, broadcast the seed
and then harrow.
The clover from this mixture will
stimulate the blue grass in an old pas
ture for two or three years, by adding
nitrogen to the soil.
By feeding hay over old pasture
land, through the winter, some seed
will be shattered out and will help "a
reseed the pasture. And the manure
will do some good. One man says
he applies manure with a spreader to
the thin spots in his pasture, in winter
and enough seed and fertility is there
by applied to the land to make it al
most as good as new.

WHEAT CROP
BADLY DAMAGED

That the wheat crop in this section
Of North Dakota, and probably the en-
tire state over has been badly dam
aged by hot weather and rust, there
can be no doubt. After a careful in
s:pection of the fields over this section
tributary to Devils Lake we find that
many fields of wheat will not. nav to
cut, and at best no field will yield over
one-half a crop. It now begins to
look as though many fields in this Sec
ton would not be harvested at all. but
will be burned off. Oats and barley
promise a fair yield and Just what
max will do can hardly be determined
at this time. Never in the history Of
this part Of the state has the promise
OF a bumper crop gone to pieces so
pad as it has this year. Three weeks
ago we were promised a bumper cron.
put at this time the outlook is that tho
lake Region will not produce more
than a third of a crop at the best.
