AT MAJESTIC
Knute Ericsson and Charlie

Producers on Program

Comedy rules on the Majestic bill

with Knute Erickson and Charlie
Ahearn getting the best results. The
entire program is a good one, includ-
ing an acrobatic turn, two songsters
and comedy sketch.

are showing increased interest in this
serial. Last night, after the first pro-
gram, scores of late arrivals stayed
to see the pictures. an unusual occur
renee. The episode shown this week
is only a repetition of the usual re-
volver duels and other melodramatic
scenes.
persons coming for the second
show failed to see the entire opening
offering in this act. because OF the
large crowd who left the theater after
the pictures. In the evening a delay
of a minute or two after the MIN Is
shown the second time would help the
situation.
Dorothy Toye and Sisters. - The
song program by this pair is an en-
joyable one Some of the numbers
are: "One For All and All For One"
Laughing Eyes and the Mlserere,
from Verdi's I'll Trovatore.' the duai
voice numbers are both unusual and
entertaining.
Milloy. Keough and Company'-t Inc
sketch is good and seems TO please the
crowds. but the presentation OF II Is
bit drasgy. A little more ginger
would put the audience on edge ana
make this act a big success
Knute Ericsson. = Knute needed no
introduction last evening. His appear
ance before the footlights erought
him applause. and as he continued ms
comic ramblings and foolish ditties ne
won many new admirers. He is as
sisted by Fiavia Arcaro.
Charlie Ahearn. Tramp comedian
offerings usually make hit. rms
one is no exception, carrying the au-
dience away in a storm of hilarity.
Charlie and his company have some
original ideas to make the folks
laugh. and there isn't letup until
the orchestra starts the closing num-
ber. .

CHANGE WHEAT
RAISING PLAN
State Expert Advocates New
Rotation in Fields Which
Have Not Raised Wheat

Some interesting suggestions have
been made by DIR. John n. Rosen-
berger, one of the experts of the
State Department of Agriculture, re-
garding the raising of wheat, and
urges that serious thought be given
to grain at once.
There are thousands of acres of
land farmed under a three-year ro-
tation of corn, oats and clover. Much
of this land could be turned to a
four-year rotation, having wheat fol-
low the oat crop and then to grass,
says he. so long as farmers can
operate the former rotation with
more profit they are not likely to
change to a four-year rotation I'M
less wheat pays pretty well on these
less favorable wheat soils. The big
gest problem before us is to make a
price high enough. so that men op-
Grating these less favorable soils
may do so without undue risk OF
loss.
Pennsylvania has her share of
these less favorable wheat soils
throughout the northern tier coun-
ties. The writer just returned from
an extended tour through these
counties. While not much wheat is
grown. here and there could be OBJ
served a fine field of wheat. These
fields show what might be done by
growing wheat in these counties if
proper care be given to acclimated
varieties and early seeding on good
seed beds. Our big problem right
now is to find acclimated seed.
These farmers, assisted by use G.
farm tractors. with preparation Of
good seed beds for early seeding. To-
eating good northern grown accli-
mated varieties of seed wheat, test
ing same with the state Bureau of
Markets. are bound to increase pro-
duction in Pennsylvania the coming
year"
