AT THE THEATERS
NO better test of the popularity of
Max Fig man aa a laughter-provoking
comedian and the Helllg The
ater as an enjoyable place of amuse
ment on a Summer night could be
asked for than the well-balanced and
finely staged presentation there Sunday
night of the comedy, "The Man on th
Box." with Mr. Plgman In hla various
roles of army officer, groom, suitor and
all-around Joker.
So much anticipation had been
awakened that the theater waa crowd
ed and many persons were turned
away for Irfrk of seating accommoda

caught the popular fancy as a "Sum

In a large measure due to th excellent
support he received, particularly from
Miss Lolita Robertson, who In private
life Is Mrs. Flgman.
The plot Is simple: Worburton had

lumbia River Basin one of the most
prosperous section of the state." said
Dr. James Wit hycomhe. director of th
Agricultural Experiment Station at Cor
valllsl while tn Portland Sunday.
Dr. Wlthycombe has Just returned from
Moro. Sherman County, where h passed
several days Inspecting the work of the
branch experiment station of 12 acres
at that point. He la very enthusiastic
over tli agricultural possibilities of the
county, provided th farmer apply im
proved method to th cultivation of
their crops. Sherman County, he de
clared, will produce this year about
l.du.uC0 bushels of grain, or W per cent
of a normal crop.
"Thla year Winter wheat (Turkish red),
grown under field conditions, yielded 22-f
bushels an acre, although the season
was one of the dryest In the history of
the country." said Dr. Wlthycombe. dis
cussing th result of the experiment sta
tion demonstratlona at Moro.
Methods Proved by Test,
'To show the difference In farming
methods, the wheat crop In another Held
directly across the roed from the expe
riment station field waa so poor that it
will not be harvested. The failure of
this crop wss due to the poor system of
farming employed and failure to con
serve the moisture. The wheat In the
experiment atatlon farm at Moro was the
only wheat I aaw In Sherman County
that was long enough to bind.
"The Moro atatlon has 690 experi
mental plats used for variety tests. In
which are Included 7& varieties of
wheat, corn, sorghum, kafflr corn and
emmer. The station has a field of
black emmer that promises to yield 85
buahela an acre. This crop makes
splendid feed for swine, rattle and
horses. There are also 150 acres In
connection with the station where
crops are grown under atrlctly farming
conditions. t
"The most gratifying experlmenta of
the year were with the field pea. While
not yet threshed, a conservstive esti
mate fixes the yield of th.. crop at be
tween Is and -0 bushels an acre. Tak
ing the minimum estimate; this means
a little more than 200 pounds of pork
an acre, worth at the present market
price. 111.' Thts I acquired without the
expense of harvesting, as the hogs at
tend to gathering the crop and will
leave the land in better condition for
wheat production than a bare Summer
fallow.
Revenues Con id Re 'Doubled.
"There are splendid opportunities
for farming In the Columbia River
Basin along different lines from those
heretofore followed. The farmers of
that section should no longer depend
wholly on wheat. While wheat should
and always will be the dominant crop,
yet hogs, draft . horses and poultry
should be- important ' factors In the
agriculture of the section. I am quite
aure If the farmers of Sherman County
will take up the line of farming I have
suggested, their revenues will be dou
ble what they are now receiving from
their land.
"For Instance, the horses on the farm
should be brood mares. Kach mare
could raise a first-class colt each year
and still' assist In the farm work
virtually as well aa a gelding. This
would give the farmer young horses to
sell all the tim and provide an im
portant revenue for the farm. By
growing Held peas In rotation wltli
wheat. Sherman County can be made
one of the greatest hog countries In
the 'West. It Is also an Ideal country
for poultry. The poultry on each farm
ahould be marie to aupply th neces
sary revenue for both the house and
the family.
"With the . proper application of
these farming" methods, there Is no
reason why th farmers of Sherman
County should not b exceptionally
prosperous."
