Since the first expression of
approval that greeted the pre-
miere of the Maxwell Anderson
comedy, the offices of the Actors
Theater have been literally
swamped by personal and written
requests from actors and actresses
for engagements in its next pro-.
duction.
For successful producing or
ganization to be flooded by APP
plicants from players is no nov
city in itself, The novelty is in
the number.
Hundreds-if not thousands-of
requests from every city in the
country-from Newark and Jer-
sey City to Denver, New Orleans,
Dallas and San Francisco, have
poured into the Actors Theater
office, applying for every con-
ceivable type of role. From play
ers in New York the applications
have been still more plentiful.
Such an interest among the act
ing profession seems to indicate
that the hope once entertained at
the inception, of the Actors The
ater-that is. group or pro-
ducing organization functiOning
primarily for the advancement of
the players interestingly yet be
realized,

Is Very Satisfactory
Lead as States in Agricultural De-
velopment in the Last Fifteen
Year Period

Minnesota's unusual growth in
agricultural and industrial lines is
set forth in the new 1928 map of
the Ten Thousand Lakes of Min
nesota Association which has just
come from the press.
Hitherto, the map has been de-
voted almost entirely to recreation
al facilities of the state, but this
year an important section of it is
given over to the agricultural and
industrial resources of the state.
Tens of thousands of copies will
be distributed in answer to the
queries that come to the associa-
ton, and the map will carry the
story of Minnesota's agricultural
growth all over the United States
along with the story of its lakes.
'"The last agricultural census
shows that during the 15-year per-
iod," statement on the new map
says. During that period of time,
Minnesota gained $1,000 farmers.
Of that number, 9,753 new farm
ers were added during the years
from 1920 to 1925. That alone
should be sufficient proof of the
substantial standing Minnesota
has as an agricultural state"
twenty-five per cent of the new
farms opened up in the United
States in the last decade are in
Minnesota" The statement recalls

Agricultural Notes
Layers Should Have
a Mash in Summer

Summer feeding Of farm poul-
try can lbe carried on economical
ly and to good advantage, says
Cora Cooke, extension poultry
specialist. The amount of feed
required on the average farm is
less than in winter, a higher pro-
duction can be counted upon, and
prices of eggs are usually ascend
ing after the low period caused by
the spring. surplus. The specialist
points out that the cost of the ra-
tion can be reduced by cutting
down the meat scrap one-half and
emitting it altogether if plenty of
milk is available, and, also by re-
ducing the amount of corn and,
in the case Of dual purpose focks,
emitting it entirely. "The prin-
cipal thing to look out for is that
plenty of mash is used" she
says. GAS warm weather comes on
moist mash once a day will do
wonders in keeping up egg produc-
ton. Hens that mott early should
be disposed of before poultry
prices drop in the early fall" Re
ports of storage conditions pres

Cooke. "A recent report said that

13 per cent fewer eggs and SO per
cent less dressed poultry are in
storage than a year ago.
Sow Flax to Get Results
The sooner flax is planted after
the wheat and oats is in the ground
the better the chances for a sue
cessful crop, says "a. C. Army, a
farm crops specialist of the Uni
wersity of Minnesota. Seeding flax
the latter part of May and in June
is rapidly becoming the exception
rather than the common practise.
The rapid change toward earlier
seeding has followed widespread
knowledge, based on the results of
careful experimental work, that
flax sown in April and the first
week in May yields higher than
that sown later. With every delay
in seeding flax after the best time
definite decreases in yield per acre
must be expected.
Seed of resistant varieties is
being used generally throughout
the northwest. Wilt resistance in
all flax varieties available at pres
ent is only relative. Planted early
the wilt resistance of these va
reties is usually very high. When
planted later, so that the young
plants must grow in warmer soil,
the desistance is likely to be con-
siderably less. This is because the
organism causing wilt is much
more vigorous in warm soil.
Weeds cause enormous losses in
flax every year. The earlier the
flax is planted the less the yields
are lowered by such annual weeds
as foxtail, lambs quarter. pigweed
and Ibarnyard grass.
Flax rust did some damage last
year to late planted flax and it is
only reasonable to suppose that it
will continue to cause damage this
season to flax varieties that are
not resistant to it. None of the
varieties, seed of which is avail
able in quantity at present, is re-
sistant to rust. The earlier flax is
planted the less likely is it to be
damaged by rust.
In the northern part OF the state
and on all peat land late planted
flax is apt to be damaged by early
fall frosts. The earlier the flax is
planted the sooner will it mature
and thus escape frost damage.
The four year average yields
obtained from planting flax at diff
ferent dates are as follows: May 1,
14.4 bushel; May 10, lit bushel;
May 20, 1915 Ibushel; June 1, 90
bushel; June 10, 81 bushel. From
these yields it is clear that, now
is better time to sow flax than
week or ten days later. With every
delay lower yields must be expect
ed. June sown flax produces pro-
fitable yields only when the grow
ing conditions are particularly ia
vorable.

American Legion
Legion Sends Many
Scouts On Outings

Michael B. Hurley of Pine City,
'Minnes0ta's Legion Americanism
chairman, announces that this year
Gopher Legion cooperation with
the Boy Scouts will take three
phases; (a) provision of two ca
noes for a Boy Scout Wilderness
Trail Tour of Northeastern Min
nesota waters (b) the sending of
fifteen Minnesota Eagle Scouts on
this tour (c) the furnishing of
summer scout camp outings for
many honor scouts, and of student
scout courses for many prospective
scoutmasters and assistant scout
masters.
As a department organization,
Minnesota Legionaires finance the
500 cost of two canoes and pay
the expense of sending Is Eagle
Scouts from all sections of the
state, on the Wilderness Trails
trip. In addition, individual Le-
gion posts select honor scouts from
their communities and send them
for a week or ten days to the
nearest summer scout camp, of
which every part of Minnesota has
one, where they will have a good
time and mingle with men and boys
whose influence is bound to be con.
structive.
Department. Chairman Michael
B. Hurley says that Minnesota Lee
gionaires feel that the last phase
of their Boy Scout cooperation is
perhaps the finest-the sending Of
likely candidates for the positions
of assistant scoutmaster and
scoutmaster to one of the half doz-
en- training camps in Minnesota,
there to study scouting with a view
to later acting as scout instructors.
The Legion posts do not confne
this to Legionaires-any man or
boy displaying promise of making
a good scoutmaster is likely to be
selected. Whether or not he saw
war service, makes no difference.

Highways Soon Ready
for Heavy Summer Travel
Loss During Spring Breakup Runs
Into Large Figures,
Says Babcock

Trunk Highways in Stearns and
other counties in Minnesota are
staging their annual comeback.
The sun and wind are drying the
surface and the maintenance forces
are smoothing out the ruts made
during the spring breakup. While
some stretches are still unsafe for
heavy loads, and rainy spells may
cause trouble here and there, most
of the motorists troubles are
over until the fall rains or snow
storms come again.
The tie-up due to impossible
roads was not as serious this spring
as in 1927, yet the loss through un-
necessary wear and tear of motor
vehicles, the cost of getting pulled
out, and the losses through delays
in the marketing of farm products
and the delivery of necessary mer-
chandise and supplies, would un-
doubteily run into hundreds of
thousands of dollars, perhaps mil
lions. If the money which has
gone into extra gasoline, tire wear,
towing, ETC., could have gone into
roads instead, it would pave a
great many miles of highway.
Liberal use of load restrictions
before roads reached the impassa-
BILE stage helped to keep many
routes passable, Commissioner C.
M. Babcock says. The April snow
storms were help, he says, be-
cause they kept traffic off the
roads during the period when the
frost was coming out. Mr.. Bah
cock adds that the cooperation
given by the great majority of car
owners, who refrained from taking
unnecessary trips during the poor
road season, fastened the period
when general travel could be re-
sumed.
"Although the tie-up has not
been as bad as in 1927, it newer
theless shows the need of speeding
up our road program" says Mr..
Babcock.
"The automobile is no longer a
pleasure car, but an essential part
of our daily life. VIE cannot ex-
pect to use it ten or eleven months
a year and then fall back on other
vehicles during the spring break.
up. To have railroad trains, hors-
es and wagons in reserve, suffi-
cient to handle all the transporta-
ton during phis period, and stand
idle the rest of the year, is very
uneconomical. We must have roads
which make the automobile un-
able twelve months in the year,
or else use it merely as pleasure
vehicle.
"Roads which were impossible
this spring were of three classes,
those of recent construction, those
which have never been graded to
modern standards, and those which
carry an overburden of traffic.
Roads which are graded and grav-
eled and thoroughly compacted,
stand up through almost any kind
