FLOWER SHOW CALLED
OFF.

The Ladies of the Civic Club
decided It would not be advis-
able to attempt holding the pro-
posed Sweet Pea Show this year.
This decision was reached after
a very careful investigation of
the prospects for displays of
flowers, and learning that owing
to the unusual season, late plant
ings and dry weather, the flow
ers are not up to the standard
of previous years, and that the
growers are very much dicourag-
ed In attempting to make any
display. The Civic Club deeply
regrets the necessity for calling
off the sweet pea show this year,
but decided IL was better not
to have 1t, than to see 1t fall
below the standard of previous
years.

George Byers, of Camas prairie, was

wheat that will yield 80 bushels to the
acre and he thinks this average will
hold good over the eastern end of the
prairie. The spring grain, however,
must have rain in the near future or
