tion Of the production and deserve
much credit for the smoothness with
which the performance was given.

ever given by the high school. Re-
ceipts amounted TO $3.50.
y Hafeld Bohanan as Ephraim Hig-
gins was especially good. John
Knapp as Mr.. Phalen, alderman in
the tenth ward was humorous and
pleased the audience. Dale Halbert
as Mrs. Pheian played his part ex-
ceptiUnaily well. Everett Anderson
a. Sam Johnson, the colored fun
maker was an almost continual
source of amusement. Mervin Rum
old played the part of esquire
Briggs" to good advantage. Dorothy
Taylor gave a humorous and much
appreciated reading between acts.
BY mistake the name Of Kenneth
Rock was omitted from the printed
program. He took the part Of Har-
old Bangs, son Of the terrible suf-
fragette Mrs. Bangs. Kenneth play
ed an opposite Loleta Herman who

ions Report Shows
Everything speaks Of spring II
Kansas now, says the weekly repor
on agricultural conditions issued b,
the State Board Of Agriculture. TIL,
report indicates that weather condi
lions during the week just closed hav,
been unfavorable for the best growth
OF wheat In sections where the larger
acreages were s0wn last fall. Severe
wind storms were the rule during
three or four days and soil blowing
was especially pronounced in Rush,
Ellis and surrounding counties. The
soil is very loose In that part or the
state and heavy rains or snow lrc
needed TO pack the ground and pro-
t.act the root hold of the wheat In that
section. In the southwest the soil is
also reported as loose on top and high
winds would do much damage. Ex-
cept In the extreme northwest the
ground is commencing to get dry and
the top soil is deficient In moisture in
central Kansas.
Flowing Is being carried on In all
sections and oats are being sowed rap
idly especially In the eastern third of
Kansas. In the southeast It Is esti-
mated that from fifty to seventy five
per cent of the sowing Of this crop is
completed. 1t Is expected that few
small patches Of potatoes will be
planted in the Kaw Valley during the
coming week If weather conditions re-
main favorable, the growers hoping
that freezing weather may not make
its appearance to any extent from
now on.
Much interest In alfalfa growing is
reported and in the central counties
there are indications that consider
able area will be sown TO the crop this
spring. Farmers are also greatly In
terested In marketing plans as pro-
by the farm organizations
with the hope Of more stable mar
ket for the crop Of 1921.
