been no severe freezes to hamper
growth this spring, and so far prac-
tically no insects of any KIND with
which to contend, ninety of the states
1O5 counties making no mention what
ever of such pests. Green bugs are
noted in eight counties, four in the
southeast and four in the northeast,
but they are not present in alarming
numbers and little if any, damage mas
been done. Harvesting of the first
cutting has already begun in the
south and southeast and weather per-
hitting will progress rapidly TO the
north and northwest. in the latter DIS
trict beginning about the first week
in June. The yield is extra good, and
will amount possibly to 1,274.00O tons,

three-fourths of a ton year ago, and
1.12 tons in 1920.
Oats.
The average condition on the 1,4s7,-

TO ORGANIZECON-
CERT ORCHESTRA

Plans are under way for the orga-
nization of a concert orchestra for
Plentywood, under the dictatorship of
Mrs. Sdlloss. This organization will
start with membership of ten or
twelve instruments, and will be con-
Quoted along strictly educational lines.
A series of concerts will be forth
coming as soon as sufficient progress
has been made, and Plentywood is
promised quite a musical treat for
the coming winter. 1t is understood
George HOLMAN is to be assistant
conductor.
The town, the commercial club, the
school, parents, and surrounding COM
munity should all get behind this
move, with every assistance possible.
This club will make proper outlet
for such talent as will be found among
the younger students, and under the
direction of so capable a musician as
Mrs. Scaloss will be an excellent adj
dition to our community. Parents
with possible musical talent among
your children, take notice.
