SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA AT THE
 JEFFERSON THEATRE TODAY

Advance seat sales for the two con certs to be given at the Jefferson The atre this afternoon and tonight by the Cincinnati symphony Orchestra indicate that great audiences will attend.
 The appearance of this distinguished organization. with Eugene Ysaye as con ductor, is regarded as the most brilliant musical event of the season in Birming- ham. Ysaye. long considered the world g greatest violin virtuoso, has performed work as a conductor that has added to his great fame.
 The concerts here will be under the auspices of the Music Study Club The following press notices reflect the opinion of critics in other cities where the Cincinnati orchestra has played this season:
 Cleveland Press: Never of recent years has the Cincinnati symphony Orchestra played in our symphony course With such finesse and dynamic interpretive nuance. Ysaye wields the baton with impeding authority and handles his players with the artistic poise and concept that he manipulates the violin.

GOOD ROADS INDISPENSABLE
Proposition With Farmer and
City DweIler.

When II takes four horses to pull
an empty wagon to town and wheat Is
going Off in price each day; when the
mail carrier gives up In despair. and
the children cannot get to school, the
farmer cannot help wondering how
much this condition Is costing him
each day.
Figure as he may. he cannot get
away from the fact that good roads
are Indispensable to agricultural pros
perity.
The city dweller is alike concerned.
The farm on good road has scores
of possibilities for the development Of
its resources to every one open to the
farm on a poor road. Increased ex-
penditures-greater buying powers.
In the early days Of poverty many a
county bonded itself for hundreds Of
thousands of dollars to secure rail-
roads to promote agricultural develop
ment. Three-fourths Of all the freight
the railroads haul must sooner or later
move over the public highways, and
every ton so moved Is costing at an
average rate Of % cents per mile.
Verify, road Improvement Is bust
ness Propositions matter OF dollars
and cents.
Abbeville progress. (Abbeville, Vermilion Parish, La.) 1913-1944, 1920-06-05

Upon this scale Of values, often
more, and seldom less. it will he seen
that the farm lahOrer is really re-
ceiving $1,000 per month instead OF
$50. Yet. unless some form of con
tract is nrOvided which definitely sets
forth the values of these extras" the
laborcr will fail to give them just con
sidcration. Ask him what he receives
and he will name the cash allowance
alone The employer. too. though
more apt to calculate the value of the
extra items. is still in doubt as to the
real compensation he pays his men.
Values differ at different seasons.
The fuel consumed in winter months
would be much more than in the hot
weather: milk is worth more In one
month than another and garden plat
will yield more produce 10 one man
than to another.
A contract such rs is used in the
West Prussia agricultural district
should be adapted for like conditions
in this country. Upon this contract
appears every item at its precise ac-
knowledged value The farmer knows
what his help costs him; the farm la
bOrer realizes his true value. and the
general public is relieved of much
harmful confusion by this simple. COM
mon sense method.

PENNSYLVANIA NOW LEADING
Keystone State Led Nation In 1919 In
Mileage Of Contracts Let for
Road Building.

Pennsylvania led the nation in 1913
In mileage Of contracts let for road
construction. according to the state
highway department. Up to January
i the state awarded contracts for
the building Of 679.26 miles Of du-
rable highways. Its nearest compet-
tor was Illinois, which contracted for
51070 miles.
Pennsylvania 1920 program calls
for the construction Of approximately
800 miles of roads. The department
says that Pennsylvania Is far ahead
Of other states In the organization

RIGHT CULTIVATION OF CORN
Crop Should Be Treated often Enough
to Keep Down Weeds and Main
tain Soil Mulch.

The best answer 10 the question ot
how frequently corn should he cul-
tivated, say specialists % the United
States department of agriculture, is
that IT should ne cultivated often
enough to keep down weeds and TO
maintain constantly loose soil mulch
till the corn has attained its growth.
To this end a greater number of cult
vations will be necessary when rains
at intervals of about week cause
the surface soil to run together and
crust. This crust must he broken and
the soil mulch restored. or excessive
run-Off and evaporation will soon rob
the soil Of its moisture.
Promptness in restoring the soil
mulch after a rain is important With
double cultivators widened and by
driving astride each alternate row, the
mulch is restored in half the time nee
essary to drive astride Of every row.

HOW ANTHRACNOSE SPREADS
Various Ways In Which Watermelon
Ailment May Be Distributed,
Given by Specialists.

There are numerous ways In which
the spread of watermelon anthracnose
may be accomplished, say specialists
Of the United States department of ag-
riculture. Spores may be spattered by
rain drops TO leaves nearby or washed
to the ground, where they are carried
along to other plants by drainage wa
ter. LabOrers often disseminate the
disease. particularly II cullS are re.
moved or melons harvested while the
vines are wet with dew or rain. Un-
der such circumstances. spores are
likely TO be carried on hands and cloth
ing from diseased vines To healthy
ones. If spores lodge on the melon it.

and put into their coOps during sud-
den storms, otherwise they may hud-
die in some hole or cover, become
chilled, or drown. When the hen is
on free range il is difficult oftentimes
to find her when a storm approaches
and still harder to catch the chickens.
Keep Chicks Growing.
If the best results are to be OBJ
tanned and q good profit made in
poultry raising, the chicks must be
kept growing constantly. Even short
exposure to cold or wet will check
growth and no matter how short the
check is, the chick will never entirely
recover from It.
Young birds are absolutely defense
less and even when constitutionally
strong, are physically frail in COM
parisOn with most of the creatures
with which they come In contacI. For
this reason their range should be in
a yard where they can be protected
from cats, rats, and other enemies.
In localities where hawks and other
preying wild birds trouble the poultry
yard, devices which will protect TIE
chicks can be used. These may range
from the time-honored scarecrow to
pieces of bright-colored cloth or bits
Of shiny tin strung around the coops.
When the enemy birds are unusually
daring, the chicken yard may require
netting over the top to prevent large
losses from these air raids.
