my Sunshine Lady"

MY sunshine Lazy.
LeCompte and Flesher managed to make,
a pretty good musical show out of an old,
old story The author of the piece would
not laugh him or herself to death, one
imagines, at the wheezes Howard, McKent
and Barnes have put into MY Sunshine

as soldiers in a professional baseball club.
But melancholy is the average libretto's
necessary ingredient and that of MY Sun
its fellows. Do You recall how we used
to laugh at "She thought she had twins,
and you were the other calf?" Well, that
was in it, and several others, similarly
wrinkled and doddering, and We still laugh
at them.
At first you are not inclined to like this
show, but it grows on you until you are
really glad you came.
Most of the fun I found in the piece at

with charm without affecting it. She

The piece is opus combining on a
monumental scale the acts of scenography,
drama, music and dancing. The story is
unfolded in a series of seven stage pic
lures, which can be described as over
whelming in their parade of all the glories
of color.
The dressing of the chorus cost pretty
penny and is a riot of colors, Grapes and
lines. The girls, while somewhat above
the average in size and age, are vocally
sufficient and dress the stage prettily.
The biggest thing in the whole show is
Frank Harsh. This cunning little fellow
weighs a ton, and is as thick as he is
high. Harsh has a wonderful "opu" capac-
ity, resembling a blimp.

SUCCULENT FEED FOR STOCK
siIaee Is Best and Cheapest Way, Say
Specialists of Bureau Of AMI
NAL Industry.

Silage Is the best and cheapest farm
In which TO store. sUcculeDd feed say
specialists of the, bureau OF animal in
dustrE Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Many f5~age
crops can be made into silage, but
corn, where il can be grown success
fully, makes the best silage.
Coed silage depends upon cutting the
crop at the right stage, fine cutting,
even distribution. thorough packing,
and plenty of moisture IN the cut ma
terial- When rightly put up anr3 care
fully fed, there should be little if any
loss through spelling.
Sflage is well suited for feeding to
all live stock. Dairy COWS need it per-
haps more than other classes of ami
mails. because the succuIence which II
supplies is very necessary for large
milk production. Ii is a cheap and
economical feed for beef cattle. from
breeding COW to fattening steer. Sheep
like It, and it IS well suited to their
needs. Even horses and mules may
be fed limited quantities OF good silage
with good results.

INSECTS CAUSE OF DISEASES
Pests Weaken Vitality of Fowls and
Have Harmful Effect on Pro-
duction of Eggs.

This is the time OF the year to be on
the constant lookout for the presence
of mites on the fowls. and particular
ly in the poultry house. These insect
pests not only lower the vitality of the
birds. and thus render them liable TO
disease. sbut their presence has a de
cidedly bad effect on egg production.
Frequent spraying of all cracks and
crevices of the house and the under
sides of the roosts with Kerosene or
5 per cent carbolic acid Will greatly
help TO eradicate mites. and thus add
TO the comfort and general health Of
the birds.

Prices naturally are lowest In Octo-

will be influenced by the up and down
tendencies which move over the coun-
try as a whole. A grower should know
the general situation in order to make
proper allowances for local conditions,
and he should not only study the po-
tato market but should consider the
size of the sweet potato and other
food crops which may influence the de-
mand and consumption Of white pota-

/ though. allowing for shrinkage and
other losses of storage. they really
yielded smaller return That is. In
all years having a production of more
! than 4OO,OOO.000 bushels, the March
price was either lower than the De
cember price, or the increase was neg
ligible. When the production has been
less than 375, 100000 bushels. the price
has tended to increase as the season
advances The farmer may judge for
himself whether the same factors will
apply TO the present years crop. which
is estimated at 413. 100000 bushels by
the bureau of crop estimates. and he
may apply his own conclusions in de-
Gliding when TO sell his potatoes.
In comparing the prices of one year
with those of another, allowance must
be made for the rapid decrease during
the last few years in the purchasing
power of the dollar For instance
S1-61 per busheI in 1919 and so cents
per bushel in 1911 does not mean that
potatoes were twice as valuable at the
later date. The increase in price may
have had nothing TO do with the pOta-
to business. 1t may have come from
the general rise which increased the
price Of wheat, clothing and machinery
as we'll as potatoes. The effects of
the general increase IA prices must be
from the calculation.
Potato Exports Small.
Before attempting to anaIyze the re-
lations between the figures of pro-
ductiOn and stocks on the one hand
and prices ON the other, ia should be \
that potatoes are not ex-
ported TO any great extent, seldom /
more than I per cent of the crop be- i
ing carried out of the country. Neither l
are potatoes carried over froan one sea
son TO another, as is the case with /
some crops. That is. the potato crop
is practically all consumed in this
country and each seasons crop is a 4
separate problem in itself.
