There was 30 per cent of the land

The ten-year average yield of
wheat in Iowa is 1877 bushels, of oats
35, of barley 27.8, of corn 34.9, and
Of potatoes 80 bushels.
This state keeps more live stock
per 100 acres than most other states
and therefore should have a large a.
mount Of manure.
Nevertheless, the essence of all the
agricultural preaching done in this
most fertile state is regular rotation
of clover, grain and corn together
with the application of stable manure
and phosphates.
This system, according to the in
vestigatlons Of the Agricultural col
lege, would almost double the yields
obtained.
The yields in the states of North
Dakota, Georgia and Iowa do not com
pare favorable with those obtained in
our Northern Colorado irrigated sec
tions.

4 SURVEY of the irrigated
~ farms in the beet district of
Northern Colorado made by
our fieldmen during the sum-
mer of 1917 showed that there was !:
One third of the irrigated and crop
ped land in alfalfa; one-third in
grains, such as wheat. oats, barley or
rye, and third in intertilled crops,
such as beets, potatoes, beans, corn
and truck.
OF course individual districts and
more SO individual farms differ from
this somewhat.
For instance, sections where more
than 80 per cent of the cropped and
irrigated land was in grain, only one
fourth of the land was in alfalfa, and
one-fifth in intertilled crops.
On the other hand, at sections where
more than 20 per cent of the land
was in potatoes, districts enjoying the
advantages of an easily titled sandy
loan, we have about one-half of the
land in intertilled crops. and only "a
bout one-fifth in grain. but still one
third in alfalfa.
This balance between grain. alfalfa
and intertilled crop has established
itself automatically as farming plan

by climate, water supply, labor re,
quirements and markets,

course. are in our favor.
Nevertheless, competent men in all
three states recommend system
nearly approaching ours, the essence
of which is leguminous forage, grain
and intertilled crops in proper pro-
portion.
Our possibilities in the line of di-
versification and rotation are almost
ideal.
Individual farms frequently are not
up to the standard. But on the who'll

that the high productivity of our

The average yield of cotton lint is

Before the war and particularly in
1914 when cotton prices were very
low. state and national authorities
were preaching in the cotton states
the gospel of diversity of crops and
crop rotations, particularly that of
more leguminous forage-in this case,
cow peas.

help but wonder how far these low
yields are responsible for the intense
political radicalism.
1t is hard to see how the most econ

crop a paying proposition. And there
were, in the last ten years, two crops
averaging five bushels and two crops
averaging eight bushels in North
Dakota.

is discovered, the doctor is disap- pointed, the lovers reunited and all ends happily.
 The L%ceum Players do well in this weeks play. The principal charac- ters are those played by MT. LePaige, MT. Wellington and MT. Crossen and all do full justice to their parts AS the simpering old general, MT. Cros- sen does some good character acting, and as the doctor, MT. LePaige proves an equally good character actor. MT. Wellington, the youthful lover, is seen as a good comedian. Miss Coo gan is given the best opportunity she has yet had and is not disappointing. As the little Spanish girl she makes up well, displays what might be ex- pected as Castilian temperament and makes the fur fly" when the baby's grandfather at first refuses to recognize her claim. Miss Leonard, the leading woman, as Sylvia, plays up to her usual standard and Jane Stuart, the female character imper- senator of the company, makes 9 typ ical peppery aunt with a caustic tongue. Hazel Stone, who essays the role of a talkative neighbOr, Mrs. Viv- vert, leaves the audience with no mis- taken ideas as to her ability to talk and George Mylott makes a typical police chief, burly and brusque. Flu gene Shakespeare has a small rart as a lawyer, but does it we'll. Joseph Guthrie is a policeman and is the only silent member of the company having nothing to say.
 The reception given Some Baby" last evening augurs we'll for the ticket office during the remainder of the week.
 The patrons are looking forward now, to next weeks production, The Thirteenth Chair" which will show the Lyceum Players in one of the best murder mystery plays of the dec ade. It is one of the highest priced royalty plays that any stock company has ever brought here.

SOME BABY LIVES
 UP 10 ITS NAME
Lyceum Players Evoke Much
 Mlrth in Farce Comedy Parts
By Herald Reviewer }

Advertised as a farce comedy. Some Baby,', presented by the Lyce- um Players this week, lives up to that reputation It is a farce comedy of the nonsensical, yet entertaining type and certainly pleased the good sized audiences that witnessed the opening performances yesterday afternoon and last evening.
 The story of Some Baby' deals with an cratic doctor, student of science Dr. Relyea, played by Bar row LePaige) who after c5 years of experimenting, thinks he has discov- cred the elixir of youth, a medicine which given in teaspoonful doses will rejuvenate the oldest person. Gen. eral Burbeck (played by Henry T. Crossen) who is 65 years of age but desirous of marrying the doctors young daughter, is finally induced to try this elixir and if it rejuvenates him he agrees to pay $10,0OO which the doctor needs badly. Young Philip Stanton George Wellington, madly in love with Sylvia (the doctors daugh- ter) is implicated in this experiment. While the doctor and general are preparing to try the experiment, the former is called away, leaving the IdLlSF Wltn the DOlIl6 or eIXlr. In thu interim a Spanish girl, whom the gen. erals son has married wit hout his consent, appears on the scene and en- deavors to induce him to care for the baby. (Marion Coogan is Marcella the Spanish girl) The girl leaves the baby in the room and fees, whereupon the general also takes flight. On returning, the doctor finds the baby present but the general missing and at once jumps at the con- clusion that the general has taken the entire bottle of elixir and it has turned him into a baby. Philip also believes this and later, when another baby, one left by a neighbor, iss also found in the house he thinks that his sweetheart must have also taken some of the elixir and it has changed her into a baby as we'll. From this point on complications come thick and fast the doctor at one moment being accused Of being the father to the baby he holds, while at the next general. There are a few lines of the play that might be taken as somewhat risque, but on the whole it is a play that might be taken as somewhat risQue, but on the whole it is a play that might be taken as somewhat risque, but on the whole it is a play that is highly amusing, with good comedy.

It is @ rapid fire pho tOplay with plenty of action and heart pathOs and ere that will ap- peal to anyone. Other photoplays consist of a new chapter of "The Per ills If Thunder Mountain" with An tonic Moreno and Carol Halloway, a laughable comedy and the Palace News Weekly showing wonderful scenes of the arrival of Gen. Pershing and the parade up lower Broadway. The vaudeville bill offers three highly entertaining acts, and consists of 'The Musical Seeleys," two local peo- pie in a musical novelty; Welton &, Marshall in an original dancing act and a Scottish Romance, a pretty Scottish act with singing and bright comedy hits. Thursday Friday and Saturday the Broadway production, The Man Who Turned White," will be offered with H. B. Warner in the leading role.

 I will tell it to you, Joan dearest, just as Mary Kym bal told me. Since the night I wrote you last, I had not seen her until today, when she sought me out in my room.
 Don't be frightened because [ look wan,' she smiled, seeing my concern. "I have been through my Gethsemane, child-and I have de- cided-we have both decided.'
 I felt myself grow as pale as she. Before I could dig up anything CO., herent to say in congratulation, she put up her hand as if to ward it off Don't misunderstand, my dear I mean we've decided-against."
 You mean--'
 That I misunderstood" She spoke with an effort bravely concealed. A rush of feeling for her, and of relief for him, left me hot-cold.

 Ut was not wild," I whispered, go- ing close to her, my heart aching in sympathy, and it is not fatal. Women who have much to give have every right to expect much. You made natural mistake, if it was a mistake at all. Don't let that part worry you. AS for it's being fatal, surely you have done no harm to him."
 "Oh. but I have. It was madness to come here to this inn. What must people think of me-of him %
 why need you care? People who know you like you. The others don't matter. They come and they go at hotel of this sort. Nothing interests them for more than day or so. Let them gabble-and forget"

 "'You needn't. Why cant you stay in this country and work? Millions of American Wonen work for thelr livings and love it. There is much you can do--when you've got straight ened out bit" I smiled, and rested.'
 She turned with such a glad look in her face that I felt I had wrought a miracle.
 Do you really believe I could do that? Oh, I should so love to earn his friendship by being useful and self-reliant! That has been the trou ble with me-my timidity, my depen- dence. And he has been so strong and splendid. He wants toto go through with it as I hoped. But I shall not let him.
