"Passion Play" Result Of Vow.
The Oberammergau Passion Play"
a dramatic representation of the suf-
ferings OF Christ, originated from a
VOW made by the inhabitants of the
little Bavarian village in 1888, with
the hope Of staying a plague then
raging. The original text probably
was made by the monks of Ettal, but
the parish priests have since carefully
revised 1t. The music was composed
by Rochus Dedler In 1914. The play
Is given by amateurs In purely rever-
entail spirit, and not for gain. 1t re-
Quires cast Of about seven hundred
persons. In 1901 an $4,000 playhouse
was erected especially for the pres
entation, which is given every ten
years. The first performance was
given In 1884.

The natural range of wild rice in
North America extends southwark
from the northern end Of Lake Winni
peg to the Gulf of Mexico and eastward
to the Atlantic coast throughout these
ATTITUDES. In the northern part of this
region 1t grows mainly in shallow lakes
and sluggish streams, while in the
eastern and southern part of the Unit
ed States it thrives above brackish wa
ter on low marshes bordering most of
the tidal rivers.
Wild rice may be started in beds and
then transplanted. This method Of
getting a stand started in a location
where the crop does not grow natural
ly is described in the circular.
Manner of Harvesting.
For centuries the Indians of Mime
sofa, Wisconsin and Canada have har-
vested this crop by going out in canoes
and shaking or knocking the ripe seeds
into the boat. The white man, with all
his ingenuity, employs the same meth
cd and probably will continue to do so
until the plant is brought under cult
walton. The Department of Agricul-
ture is investigating the possibilities in
the growing of the plant and in the cir
cular reports that it is a good food and
that it has a possible value as forage.
Very little of the grain ever gets on
the markets, as the Indians sell only
the small surplus they may have occa-
Sionally.

tanned by writing TO the Department

SILAGE CROP is IMPORTANT
Cutting Too Green Sacrifices Too
Much Growth and Feed Value
Best Time for Corn.

The proper stage at which to har.
vest the silage crop is an important
question. Cutting too green sacrifices
too much growth and feed value and
makes acid silage;. cutting too late
causes poor packing and spoilage. A
good rule in harvesting Indian corn
for silage is to cut just before the kerr
mel glazes, and in the case of Dent
varieties. after the dent is well formed

During the early part ftoday's SEES
sion there was material reduction in
the volume of bushes, especially the
volume coming from commission houses.
The professional element were either
divided in their views, most of them
selling in anticipation of Il reaction, hut
as the day progressed nothing developed
to cause any uneasineSs on the part of
the longs and there was an absence of
pressure and later in the day a renewed
demand for many of the prominent is
sues resulted in another upward move
ment during which time some lew high
prices were again established.
New highs have been an almost daily
occurrence recently and this very tact
helps to attract a greater following.
Industrial news Of the day was very
satisfactory.
Reviews by two trade journals agree
that he steel situation is constantly i'm
proving.
Bookings in mills have been the larg-
est recently since the busy war times.
Railroads have become large buyers
of steel products and large orders for
cars have been placed.
A further advance was noted in one
Of the steel products by the United States
Steel Corporation.
The copper situation is improving and
sales recently have been large.
There can be no doubt about the sound
ness of basic conditions and o continued
activity in the stock market, but at the
moment it is advisable TO give very
close attention to technical conditions
and are of the opinion that longs should
accept profits on at least n portion Of
their holdings during the present big
markets.

Wheat-It is estimated that about
250.00O bushels of wheat have been
worked to come to this market from
the Southwest, the complete absence of
export demand and the Indifferent mill

been principally responsible for the

foreign situation is concerned, Liver
