COLONY ENTERTAINERS
PRESENT SPLENDID PROGRAM

''Ye editor" is running short on SUI
perlatives when attempting to describe
the quality Of the offerings the audi
ence at the Dixie Pride playhouse at
Newllano are regaled with regularly ev-
cry week on Sunday night by our mu-
sicians, yocalists, character imperson-
ators and elocutionists. The talent
appearing on the boards is so varied
and of such high quality that super
latives alone can do them justice and
adequately express the appreciation
and gratitude of all beholders.
The program on Sunday night, April
ninth, surpassed any previous enter
tainment. The music of the junior Or
chestra alone was a grand treat. A
tunneful duett by Mrs. Gaddis and Mrs.
Martin, accompanied on the piano by
Prof. Martin, was superior perform
ance. Dawson Cryer and Johnny Ger
sey recited like little heroes. Llano
Colony boys are not afraid to face an
audience and can talk right out in
.meetingl Our heighboring friends,
.Xalrie Brogdon and Ruth Brogdon al
50 recited two lovely pieces and scored
a success. The Irish sketch by Com
rades Montrose and jacques was
scream and the hilarity of the audi
ence was immense. And then came
the children's chorus, our children ,as
fine and classy a bunch of kiddoos as
there is anywhere the world around.
Comrade Sutton's Shakespearean de-
clamation was in excellent taste and
well received. And then Miss Beulah
Miller, a new member, appeared on
the scene and danced Highland fling
to perfection. 1t was great all right.
And after her fine performance appear
ed our own unique Harry Bell upon
the scene with the ditty Il love las
sic, assisted by bevy of lovely girls,
introduced by Prof. Martin as the Im-
mortal chorus-which we hope will
prove true. as Pastor RusselI's Bible
Students boldly proclaim that millions
now living will never die-in three
years from now The chorus consisted
of the Misses Louise Belohradsky, Rose
Matt. Maxine Gaddis, Vinita Thurman,
and Mildred Seelye. A fine bit Of act
ing and singing all right. Comrade
Martin sang when the Kye came

DRAINAGE IS ESSENTIAL
TO SUCCESSFUL FARM -NG

Comrade w. c. Benton led the dis
cussion at the agricultural meeting last
Friday night, and pointed to the two
drains placed in the garden as a vis-
ible demonstration of the good effects
that drainage has in improving the soil
for gardening and farming purposes.
Even the best of farmers do not real
ize fully the benefits that can be se-
cured through thorough drainage Of
the soil.
If all the rain falling on the surface
Of the land were absorbed in the soil,
the earth would be turned into a con-
tinuous swamp, and only the lowest
forms of plant life could exist in it.
Water however seeks the lowest level
under the pull of gravity, and with
natural system Of drainage, such as
the porosity of the soil, open water
ways, creeks, brooks or rolling uplands,
only the capillary and Microscopic wa
ter is retained. But where the parti-
cles of the soil are too fine and retard
the gravitational tendency of water,
artificial drains become indispensable to
the best tillage, utilization and produc-
tivity of the soil. The soil in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the town Newllano
consists of very fine sand, silt and clay
and is in need Of drainage in order to
produce bumper crops. Other lands
among our holdings at some distance
from the town produce abundantly with
ordinary farm care, when cleared of
stumps.
Most people know that plants will
not grow without water, but mighty
few have any conception of the fact
that the plants require air for their
growth as well as water. And the air
is appropriated by the rootlets Of the
plant Plants can have the life smoth-
cred out of them as easily as out of hui
man beings or animals. Take the air
away from plants and they die.
About fifty percent of the ordinary
soil is made up of the spaces between
the soil grains and this space is filled
with air and water. The size of the
soil grains determining the space SO oc-
cupied by air, and water drainage In
creases the amount Of moisture avail
able to the plants. shrubs and trees,
enlarges the root zone and promotes
the aeration Of the soil. essential to the
growth of the bacteria Of nitrification,
and thus increases the available food
supply Of the soil; the mineral elements
of the soil becoming more soluble thru
oxidation. Drainage, by quickly re-
moving surplus water before it can dis
solve and absorb any considerable
amount of plant food. enables the cap
illary moisture, the proper soil solution.
to dissolve and retain much larger
percent Of the essential plant ingredi-
ents.
