First Performance
By Theater Group
Meets Success

Apparently Experimental the
aires workshop production, an in
novation tried out for public ap-
proval Thursday night, met with
heavy endorsement judging by the
enthusiastic applause of the audi
ence which attended the opening
performance held in the Seeley
playhouse. The two one-act plays
were to be repeated Friday night
at $50 o'clock.
Leroy Rumsey was author OF
The Treasure Chest" in which
Mrs. Norman P. Pearse did excel
lent work as the quick -wiLted old
lady the author appearing as the
absconding banker; Francis Petit
thomme as the deputy and Jack
Pulliam as the Sheriff. Clever lines
and good performances character
ized this play.
The second play was the Field
ing translation Of Moliere's THE
Doctor in Spite of Himself" an
uproarious comedy in which Alice
Pulliam, who has starred in many
productions, Barbara Remington,
Doris Robinson, Phil Remington,
AL Schaller, Verne Garcia, Francis
Petithomme, Bob Butler, were
featured, all giving excellent char
acterizations in this forerunner of
the modern Slapstick comedy.
The production was particularly
interesting in its departure from
the usual. Although Elizabethan
in general form, costuming was
modern although a bit on the
clowning side, and the makeup
was the character mask type in
troduced by the Moscow art the

Warm Soil Is Necessary
to Grow the Sweet Corn

With jaded winter appetites hun
gering for such spring dishes as
roastin' ears, home and CONNER
cial vegetable gardeners are ad-
vised that no definite date can
be given for the safe planting of
sweet corn, since the seed will not
terminate or grow until the soil is
fairly warm, according to B. L.
Weaver, of the department of hor-
ticulture, University of Illinois, col
lege Of agriculture.
Planting a number of varieties
which vary as to time of matur-
ity is a recommended method of
obtaining a succession of roasting
ears throughout the season. A good
succession of white corn may be had
" planting Howling Mob, Early Ev-
ergreen, StowelIs Evergreen, Mar
row Grain Evergreen or Country
Gentleman at the same time. A
succession of yellow varieties may
be obtained by using Purdue Ban
tam, Golden Bantam, (Bancross),
Golden Cross Bantam and Yellow
Oh Golden Evergreen.
Yield and uniformity are much
greater where hybrid seed is used.
Hybrids, because Of their vigor
and possibly because Of some in
herent resistance, may be less sus-
ceptible to bacterial wilt than open
%pollinated types.

Selecting New Flock

Poultrymen who are selecting
their new breeding flock, if they are
planning on raising their own baby
chicks this spring, says D. D. Moy-
err, of the Missouri station, should
retain only those hens which are
healthy. Hens which have laid we'll
certainly should be included. Salts
factory future breeders are also in
dictated by thoroughly bleached skin
in the case of yellow skinned breeds,
and an old, dry coat of feathers, a
sign of late melting. Pullets to be
used should have large, rugged bod
les, well covered with muscle and
fat.
They should show early sexual ma.
turity by we'll developed comb and
wattles, and a large, pliable abdo-
men with flexible pin bones that are
spread apart. A healthy flock should
be the aim of all p%oultrymen.

FARM
Tories
SHOULD TURN EGGS
WHILE INCUBATING
Poultry Expert Cites Four
Fundamental Factors.
By DR.. w. C. Thompson, Poultry Husband
man, New Jersey Experiment Station.
WNU Service.

BY DR.. ". G. Thompson, Poultry Husband
man, New Jersey Experiment Station.
WNU Service.
Temperature, ventilation, mois-
ture and change of position are the
four fundamental factors in obtain
ing good matches in incubators.
Changing the position of the en-
bryos during the three weeks of de-
velopment within the shell is very
important. Mother hens, incubat-
ing their setting of eggs on the old
fashioned nest, usually move the
eggs beneath them at least twice
during the day, thus tending to
equalize the exposure of each egg to
the conditions of temperature, fresh
air and moisture, all of which must
be uniformly applied to each egg.
In the operation of the modern in
cubator, man can we'll copy this
rule of the hen. Experimental evil
dence seems to indicate that he can
go the hen one better by doubling
the number of turnings during each
24-hour period.
If Matching eggs are changed in
position nee every six hours, optl-
mum results, other things being
equal, will generally result. 1t is
partly a matter of preventing the
sticking of the developing embryo
to some one position within the
shell, and partly a matter Of equal
izing the exposure of the respective
eggs to the conditions which will
bring about normal, natural embry-
onic growth.
Most modern incubators are pro-
vided with devices for turning eggs.
1t is important to be regular and
consistent in this practice. 1t is one
of those many small items which,
taken collectively, spell successful
Matching and the production OF
chicks.

Higher Farming Costs

Labor and products bought by the
farm in 1887 are predicted by the
Department of Agriculture to cause
a sharp increase in the cost of farm
ing. Price for feed for live stock
and seed will stay high until the
crop of the 1887 season replenishes
the present drouth-reduced supply.
Farm machinery, fertilizer, and
building supplies are expected to
advance some in price due mostly
to the increased cost of labor and
material.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9. (UP)
Administration officials today said
that the United States couldn't
guarantee physical protection for
it's shipping or its nationals and
their property abroad unless the
army and navy are augmented to
the point where they consume half

The United States cannot guar
antee such protection unless the
American people. are willing to
fight a major war, one official
said.
The people are convinced that
this nation is not willing to wage
a costly and perhaps disastrous
war to protect American citizens
and investments abroad.
The administration believes that
there is no choice but to evacuate
nationals from trouble zones and
warn shipping that it proceeds
through dangerous waters at its
own risk.
