Harry Young's negro mins- trels have been with us all the week, showing nightly to large and well pleased audiences. Com. posed as it is of a race of people that are known for their quaint ways and natural love of music. they give an entertainment re plete with the pathos of their na. ture. Quaint sayings and queer antics furnish amusement throughout the performance. An old joke is clothed with a new vestment. and you lose sight of it's age in the telling. The sing ing is good, of the honey kind, and the dancing is of the kind that only the negro can portray. Clean-cut and free from any suggestions. it is show that can be enjoyed b.y all. They will be here the balance of the week, closing the engagement Satur day night.

Wheat

Great Plains Area.-The wheat
crop Of 1916 in the spring-wheat
States Of the upper Mississippi
Valley was very badly injured by
rust and other diseases. Not only-
was the yield much reduced, but
the quality Of the grain was gen.
orally very poor. Much Of the
grain is light weight, shrunken,
and doubtless contains many dis
eased kernels. Such grain is not
good for seed purposes. Although
plants may be produced from such
seed, they are not likely to be
vigorous, and many Of them may
be diseased, and these diseases will
either cause their death before
maturity or be spread 10 other
plants, or both.
II is advisable, therefore, for
farmers in this region to make
sure promptly Of a sufficient sup
ply Of good plump seed Of adapted
varieties, which will grow when
sown. If plump. healthy seed can
not be obtained, the seed that is
available should be edfefully
