In the meantime the members of the
American Cyclists Union will remain in
the city all Of the week. They will train
at the track of the Park Bicycle Club.
1t is essential that they should remain in
shape. owing to the fact that the circuit
has scarcely three more weeks TO run. A
business meeting of the new organization
will be held this evening at the Hotel Re-
gent, which promises to be interesting,

Feature of Wednesdays Meet.
The most interesting race that will be
run will be the quarter of a mile national
championship race. 1t will be remem-
bered that this event was scheduled for
Baltimore originally on October /. Be
fore the break-away was made by the
professional riders an attempt was made
to have this event transferred to this
city and give TO Baltimore the two-mile
national championship race, scheduled for
this city, with lis score points. The diff
ference was this: In the quarter-mile
race the winner scored sixty points, the
second man forty points, the third man
thirty points, the fourth man twenty, and
the fifth man ten, while In the two-mile
race the score was six, four, three, two,
and one for the first five men. The riders
wanted the short race on the Washington
track because of the narrow width and
shortness OF the Baltimore track The
new union was formed at this juncture,
and the racing men did not visit Balti-
more at all. national circuit race was
supposed to be held in that city Satur-
day afternoon with a lot of second-class
racers entered. The qu2rter-mile, with
it's increased score, will be run on the To-
cal track, and is of more than usual in

this race, if Bald or Taylor capture it,,

well to thoroughly wet the surface

washes the soil from the roots and

plants are set and stand over night
water may be turned In the burrows
for a short time in the late afternoon.
This may not be necessary again for a

soils require more or less water which
must be gagged by the planter.-Den'

Casan, the Tartar Dwarf.

In the series Of papers on 'Historlc
Dwarfs," In 81. Nicholas, May Shears
Roberts describes the famous Casan.
Mrs. Roberts says:
Casan was the name OF n little Mon
gol Tartar who tlourlshed In the early
part OF the thirteenth century.
lie was born in the eastern part of
Asia, not far from the ancient city of
Karakorum. His parents belonged to
one Of the barbarian hordes that owed
allegiance TO Genghis Khan, and Casan
became u fierce though small warrior
and fought brayely under the banner
Of the great and mighty Mongol con
quero.
The exact height of this little dwarf
is unknown. He was certainly not
over three feet tall. but he was active
and muscular and like all his race,
could endure hunger. thirst, fatigue
and cold.

The chief difficulty In broomeorn eul-
ture is to determine just when TO har-
vest the crop. Some cut the heads
when In blossom. others harvest so as
to develop better seed. The time gen
orally preferred il just after the fall Of
the so-called blossom. When the say
ing of more matured seed Is considered,
the heads may be bent down by bend
ing sharply twelve or eighteen inches
below the base of the heads. Thus the
seeds will fill hanging down and tends
to keep the brush straight. IL this IS
practiced at all, 1t must be done after
the head has obtained its maximum
length, but before the seeds acquire
full weight.
The common custom in harvesting
tall varieties is to bend the stalks Of
two rows dlagonally toward each other
so that the bent parts support each
other In nearly horizontal position.
. The stalks OF one row cross those of
the other and form . platform or table.
The sharp bend of the stalk is about
two and one-half or thee feet above the
ground. Inc DfuSn DENT on one row
projects over and beyond the other
row, convenient for the cutter, who
follows Immediately. The heads. with
FIVE inches of stalk, are laid on the
table or platform until they can be
removed TO a drying shed Cutting
while the plants are wet with dew or
rain must be avoided. The brush OF
the dwarf variety Is pulled, not cut.
II the season Is dry the brush remains
straight as the corn approaches maturi-
ty. but II 1t Is hot and damp the stalks
are liable 10 bend and become crooked.
Great pains must be taken In harvest
ing and curing to keep the brush
straight.
From the field the brush Is taken to
scrapers, which remove the seeds. 1t
Is then cured In the shade. Exposure
to sun or moisture Injuries its color and
strength. Free circulation of air is
absolutely necessary TO best results.
In large quantities, special houses thor
oughly ventilated must be provided.

racks three inches in depth. When dry

Coming season. orange Crop.

The prospects of the coming orange
crop and the disposition to buy supplies
to the best advantage is seen by the fact
that the Southern California Fruit
Exchange advertised in Los Angeles
for bids for furnishing l 800, 900 boxes
to be used in the packing of the coming
seasons orange crop. The figures,
which show that an enormous increase
in the production in Southern Caliior-
MIA ia anticipated, will give basis for
estimates of the increased shipments
over previous years which may be
looked for. Not only are the condi-
tions for full yield favorable now, but
there is a great increase in the acreage
OF trees now coming into full bearing.
