Farmers IN
Bad Shape IN
the DaR0taS
(By a Farmer Correspondent

(By a Farmer Correspondent
WII4LISTON, N. Dakota (By
MaiD.-It is interesting as well
as significant to observe that with
less farmers upon the land a
larger crop area is placed under
cultivation. More rocks are being
dug out of the ground this year
in the Dakotas than / have ever
seen before.
Meadows ard pastures which
heretofore were not considered
suitable for cultivation are now
being prepared for crops. The
small farmers work like beavers
to clear the land despite the fact
that they are already farming
considerable acreages.
Why is this? The reason is that
the farmer cannot make a living
any longer upon the size of the
farm he originally had and so
enlarges it by breaking up pas
lures and meadows of his "own"
land, and by renting additional
acreage if he has no chance to
increase his crop area he must
be satisfied with the six of his
farm he has or quit farming.
According to the U. S. census
the big farms, from 900 acres up.
wards, and the small farms,
(truck farms, chicken ranches,
etc.) are increasing in number
while the number Of middle sized
farms are decreasing.
The farmers here have gone
into raising sheep. They noticed
that wheat lone did not bring
them much and SC they decided
to try their luck with sheep. Now
the sheep market is away down
so sheep are no better than wheat.
Next somebody will tell the
farmer there is big money in hogs
and when he does go into raising
hogs the hog market is sure to
go down. Such is farming under
capitalism.

SPECIAL MUSICAL PRO
GRAM ADDED TO "THE
CONSTANT NYMPH".

The Little Carnegie Playhouse,
in view of Deems Taylor's remark
that "The Constant Nymph" was
the greatest musical novel since
"Jean Cristophe", has prepared a
special musical score to accompany
the film version Of Miss Kennedy's
novel now in it's second week at that
theatre.
The main theme used is Gustave
Charpentiere's, Louise, the opera
treating life in the Paris of the ear
ly "nineties". The har-Kreisler,
"Frasquita', is used as subsidiary
theme for Tessa, the tragic little
heroine of the story, and the rest
of the score is made up of excerpts
from the music of Schumann, Cyril
Scott, Rudolph Friml and others.
