Second Day OF
The Rodoo.
The second day of the Rodeo saw
almost as large a crowd as on the
opening Monday.
The sport yesterday was as thrilling
as on the first day and the interest
was as continuous and intense. The
show started promptly on time as the
clock licked two and the grand stand
and bleachers were emptied of their
throngs at half past five.
There were number of narrow es.
capes yesterday but no serious acci
dents. The most thrilling moment per.
haps was when her horse fell on Dor.
othy Morrell in the Ladies' bucking
contest and pinned her TO the ground
Snake was her mount and he was
vicious horse to saddle. The rider
was barely seated on the animal and
the snubbing rope had not been re.
leased when the horse either fell or
lay down and the woman's log was
pinned beneath him.

BELGIAN FARMERS

London.-England is TO reap benefits
from the agricultural skill of the Bel

Britain. As q token OF their apprecia-
ton OF British hospitality the queen
OF the Belgians has suggested that the
agriculturists from her country in
struct English farmers in the system
of intensive cultivation which has
made Belgium famous the world over.
A committee headed by Sir Richard
Paget has been appointed. and ar
rangements are being made TO delegate
Belgian experts who will direct their
fellow c~ountrymen In preparing Eng
fish land for intensive cultivation. The
British and Belgians alike are eager
to have all Belgians return 10 theiI
homes as soon as possible. but mean
time there is a desire to make the Bel
CLANS as little burden a. possible on
the British, and the agricultural colony
plan has been hit upon as a desirable
means of employing Belgians where
they will not be in direct competition
with Englishmen.
AS many as five crops of vegetable
are grown in Il single year by the Bel
gians on tracts under glass. Only
rough frames with ordinary window
glass are required for this work. The
Belgian farmers are able to make these
themselves, and in many places IL
England they are already employed
