C the chorus On Thursday evening the M. A. C. chorus, Miss Louise Freyhofer, director, presented Haydn's Oratorio, " T he Creation," to a large, interested and appreciative audience. In under found taking this work itself confronted by artistic and finan cial difficulties, but before the even ing was over both problems were solved satisfactorily. Certainly the organization deserves geat credit for affording such an opportunity, which comes but too rarely to Lansing and College people. Since last fall all the energies of to a the chorus have been devoted preparation of this work, and their selection of competent soloists was most fortunate. taken with the delivery of her Mrs. Rachel Frease Green pos sesses a lyric soprano voice of more than ordinary compass. H er high notes were not only clear and pure, the greatest but were ease. first In recitative were brought out the dis tinctness of her enunciation, the abil ity to carry vowels without any change of tone quality and her de vout interpretation of the part with out affectation. register and of Mr. Walter C. Howell's render ing of the part of Raphael was cer tainly gratifying. His profound bass voice, of even quality throughout the the whole smoothest texture, permitted him to present the facts of the theme most impressively dramatic force. T he applause which followed his rendering of the recitative,' And God the E a r th Bring Forth,' was spontaneous and gen uine. and with said, Let Mr. Edwin H. Douglass, who assumed the part of Uriel, sang with taste and gave much pleasure by his refined and artistic interpretation of the rjart. His tones were even and well produced, his reading intelli gent, musical and free from exag geration, moreover, his singing gave evidence of study and thorough comprehension. T he accompanist of the evening, Mr. Samuel Schroetter, deserves especial mention, inasmuch as he performed a difficult and trying part and performed it well. T he accom panist has it in his power, always, the performance but Mr. to mar Schroetter, on the contrary, added to it. Miss Mack ably assisted Mr, Schroetter at the second piano during the choruses. But after all is said, the one de serving of most credit and most praise is the director, Miss F r e y hofer, on whom has rested all the responsibilty and who has been able the past eight to keep together, for months, a chorus of seventy-five comparatively untrained voices,—a task by no means easy.

T he given coucert Thursday afternoon was full of good things for the lover of music, and the audi ence showed its appreciation by the generous applause given to each per former. Mr. Schroetter, w ho has just re turned from several years' study in Berlin, was a general favorite. His rendition of the Chopin Scherzo, Op. 39, was especially fine, and all his numbers showed genuine feeling and the skill of the artist. T he singing of Mr. Douglass, the tenor, was thoroughly appreciated. T he air Spirito Gentil by Donizetti gave opportunity to show the flexi bility of his voice under perfect con trol and number, the DeKoven Pop-pies, was so much enjoyed as to call out an encore. Mr. Howell possesses a remarka ble range and handles his voice with first artistic skill. His number, Honor and Arms from Handel's is an old favorite and at Samson once put the singer in control of his hearers. Fligier's Horn also proved to be very taking and Mr. Howell responded to the hearty applause by an encore. T he duets were beauti especially Rubin fully Song stein's Wanderer's and Mendelsohn's / Would That My Love. rendered Night Mrs. C. E. Marshall was the accompanist for the afternoon.

T h e re must, therefore be a large acreage of corn annually with plenty of clover hay. T he winter has been very hard upon clover, and most of the fields will have to be plowed this spring and reseeded. Mr. Welch grows no wheat and has universally good success in seeding after oats and barley, especially after barley, which he in place of oats as feed for horses and other live stock alike, his rotation being corn, barley or oats, clover. Following such a rotation involves a large amount of plowing early in the spring.
