The attention of the postoffice de-

the fact that practically all mailable
parcels that are carefully wrapped
and securely tied for mailing reach
their destination in good condition,

An Almost Perfect Field Of kafir-

been years when the acre value of
corn was little greater than that of
Kaf1r, but In a out Of IS years the
difference in favor Of Kafir was
from so cents to $13 an acre.
In 1917 over 100000 acres were
planted to corn in Kansas. The av.
erage acre value was $13.16, the
acre value Of Kaf1r was $22A9. II
the corn acreage had been planted
to Kafr the crop would have been
worth $82,7O0.000 more than the
value Of the corn. In 1918 the grow
ing of Kaffir on the acreage devoted
to corn would have yielded over
$81,700000 more than the corn did.
These. facts. presented by the
State Board Of Agriculture, should
be given careful consideration by
the farmers Of Kansas. It is no
doubt true that similar figures could
be shown for Oklahoma and other
states in the semi-arid sections.
It is both expensive and discour-
aging to plant large acreage to
corn when conditions are not the
most favorable. It is not good bust
ness to continue growing corn in
preference to dry farming crops
when experience shows that Kaflr
or similar crops will pay much better.

MICH ORCHESTRA
CONCERT CLOSES
MUSICAL FESTIVAL
Remarkable Talent Closes
Series Of Programs Given by
School Music Department.

The concert given by the Richmond
High school orchestra Friday evening
in the High school auditorium, the
fourth and last program of the May
Festival, was the climax of series of
interesting and highly educational
concerts.
The orchestra played under some
difficulties Friday because of the damp
evening, necessitating tuning up af-
ter each number, but this inconven.
fence did not in any way interfere with
the splendid numbers it gave.
Ralph c. Sloane. director of the or.
chestra, and head of music in the
schools, Is to be highly complimented
on the May Festival series and par
ticularly the orchestra concert.
The program was opened with a
selection from Naughty Marietta, by
Victor Herbert. This is a truly Am
erican composition and was played
admirably, the solo parts being I'm.
usually well done.
Russian Number PIeases.
One of the finest numbers was the
Andante" Fifth Symphony by Tschi
owsky, a modern Russian composer
y This was less pretentious than other
numbers but was the most difficult
of the program, the harmoniZation OF
the composition being especially diff
ficult. The number was played with
nice Interpretation. intelligence and
artistic ability.
THE Dance of the Hours, ballet
music from the opera Gioconda by
Ponchielli, an equally difficult compo
sition, was the most delightful mum
Der rendered. The variation of theme
and expression was brought out by
the musicians.
The overture, "Rosamund," in two
movements, Andante and Allegro vi
vace, was magnif1cently rendered.
The last number of the program was
a suite, THE Dwellers in the Western
World" by John Philip Sousa, well
known band director This is de
scriptive composition and the ability
of the orchestra to bring forth the
meaning was remarkably and admir-
ably displayed. The suite has three
numbers, 1.-The Red Man. THE White
Man." and 1.-The Black Man
Solos Show Talent.
Miss Mary Jones, concertmaster Of
the orchestra, showed her real talent
Drdla composition, "The Hummine
Bird" Miss Jones is young must
clan with all the growing qualities OF
an artist. She was accorded Iona
applause, but did not encore. Miss
Laverne Jones, sister of Miss Jones
accompanied her.
really big number on the program
was the composition for the clarinet
by Won Weber, Grand Duo Concertant
in F Major. with three movements
played by Marius Fossenkemper, who
already has gained recognition as a
promising artist. The intelligent and
artistic Interpretation of the difficult
: work was appreciated by the audience
Miss Helen Hadley, who accompan
led Mr.. Fossenkemper, is to be com
plimented on the splendid manner in
which she did her part. The piano
score for the number is equally as diff
ficult as the instrument score.
Miss Mary Luring ably accompanied
the orchestra, notably in Dance O
the Hours"
The concert was well attended anC
thoroughly appreciated by all.
