CERT APRIL 18TH

On. Thursday evening, April 28th
the Valley City Municipal Band will
give their Sixth Annual Concert at
the Normal Auditorium.
Director Hubbard, Of the Municipal
Band Informed US this morning that
the above date has been decided on as
the time set for the annual spring ap-
pearance of this popular musical or
ganization. While Mr.. Hubbard has
only been connected with the band
about six weeks since his return to
the city, the organization has taken a
new lease on life and are forging to
the front in leaps and bounds and it is
the general opinion Of all who have
had the opportunity to hear the. band
at rehearsals, that they are without
question, in the best form unsteady,
that they have ever been.
The program as outlined for the con-
cert contains many new numbers to
Valley City music lover, being played
for the first time here. In fact there
will not be dull period during the
entire program, and it is so varied
The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1921-04-21

that there will be something Of inter-
est to every one who attends.
The band has busy season ahead
this summer and their splendid music
will be enjoyed, not only in Valley
City this summer, but in many other
towns about the state as well. ,s
In this fine musical organization,
Valley City has an asset that but few
other cities in the state can boast Of.
It is generally conceded by those who
know, that Valley City has the best
band in the state at this time, and it
is composed entirely of local musi-
clans, who are located here and en-
ployed by some Of the business firms
of the. city. There is still room for
one or two instruments in the band,
and should there be any vacancies
in positions that might be readily filled
by musicians it might be we'll to bear
in mind when looking for some to
fill the place, and get in touch with
Director Hubbard.
The park concerts will open the ear
ly part of May and will continue until
the middle Of September if the wealth
er will permit.

Farmers who have any doubt about
the terminating qualities of their seed
corn should test the corn or send a
sample to the Agricultural College for
a termination test, according to an
announcement by the pure seed lab
oratory. Seed Corn which falls be-
low 80 percent in termination test
ordinarily is considered poor. The
most common method of testing corn
on a farm is planting it in a small
box of sand or earth. Seed which has
been stored in dry place throughout
the winter and was not frozen last
fall should give a high rate Of ger
mination. The testing box should be
divided into squares by wires an
inch and three quarters apart. fast
ened to the sides of. the box, with
four or five kernels from an ear in
each square. The sand should be
moistened and the box covered with a
pane of glass or cloth. The ears
Should be marked to correspond with
the squares. and the ears of poor

The city council last night took a
progressive, step when it let the con-
tract for fixing up the tourist park,
and after that is done strangers with
in our gates will be able to leave and
spread the news to the world at large
that Valley City welcomes all to the
city as a place to stop over night or
longer if they need and want to. A
real tourist camp is being fixed up
at considerable expense - but it is
money we'll invested-and we believe
is a step in the right direction. The
contamination of this camp is due to
the energetic work of Mayor Bonhus
and the council and the Times-Record
wants to congratulate them upon their
wisdom in providing such a resting
place so well equipped to the tired
automobilist who makes this his
nights stopping place. Those sign
boards at all points coming into VAL
ley City reading ''Welcome, come
again." stand for something more con-
crete than painted words. With the
new tourist park equipped it means a
real commodity to all who will enjoy
our hospitality. Good work, gentle
men,.
