tuneful score.
Maud Gray as the Princess BoZena,
who borrows the sprightly personality OF
the real spring maid. gave to the role a
firtatious sparkle which no young hools
could resist. She sang with very real
melody Day Dreams. which, like fIhe

ridiculously funny, aided by Harlan
Briggs. who, for some inscrutable rea-

the duties of a commissioner of police.
Other important parts, each an fndi-

the whole, were portrayed by Elsie
Meyers. John Willard. Ralph Nichols
and George Ogle. The chorus of
youngsters and real pretty girls. fresh
as daisies in new costumes, sang
with the precision which the Aborn
management demands.

Drop to Ground.

BlOssom-end rot of tomatoes Is q
disease caused by Il fungus. 1t attacks
the blossom-end of the fruit while the
fruit is green and causes it to rot and
drop off before it is mature. As soon
as the disease is observed. pull of all
affected fruit and destroy 1t. After this,
spray thoroughly with bordeaux mix.

one pound Of blue stone, one pound Of
quick lime and II gallons of water. Dis.
solve the blue stone by hanging 1t In a
cloth bag, in water. over night. Slake
the lime separately, then mix the two
thoroughly, and add the IL gallons Of
water. Earthen, glass or wood recep-
tacles must be used to dissolve the
blue stone In. It will corrode metal.
If fruit is ripened. gather all ripe
fruit before spraying. 1t Is neces.

as long as there is any sign Of the dis

FAITHFUL HORSE Is
STILL INDISPENSABLE

The very heavy advertising which
has been done by our tractor manufac-
turers during the past few years has
led large number of farmers to think
that the tractor is to take the place Of
the majority of horses on our farms.
Unless the breeding of horses is con-
tinued and increased we shall, within
four or five years, face horse short
age which will place horse power be-
yond the average farmers reach, and
curtail our field operations to a remark
able extent. On January l, 1917, there
were 36l,000 horses on the farms Of
Colorado. Estimates indicate that there
is one pure-bred draft stallion to every
SS6 horses, one grade stallion to every
401, or one stallion either purebred OF
grade to every 26O horses, or in other
words one stallion to every thirty-three
farms.
Every owner of horses ought to take
the pains and time to breed his mares
this month. The foal will come in May
and will have q better chance to dc
velop into large strong individual.
VIM. Henderson, prominent horse
buyer of Illinois, says "Thst tractors
have place on our farms I do NOT
deny, for nearly all of our best types
of farms now require a power unit
which can be used for grinding grain
baling hay, filling silos, grinding al
falfa, and for various other belt power
purposes. Thasmuch as the work often
times is done upon different parts OF
the farm, it is an advantage to have a
power unit in tractor form, but thos,
who believe that the tractor is destined
to displace any considerable portion OF
the horses actually needed in field
work will find that they have mis-
judged the situation, and not few OF
them will pay dearly for their expert
ence. IT. E. Leiper, Colorado Agr,

well. If the soil is allowed to dry un-
til it breaks up cloddy, much moisture
will be lost, good mulch cannot be
obtained, and harm is more likely to
be done to the corn roots. AS long as
rapid evaporation is taking place, the

two CIVILIZATIONS; in other seasons

Object Of Cultivation.
Corn should be cultivated only when
one or more objects will be accom-
plished by the cultivation and when to-
tai effects will be more beneficial than
injurious. The beneficial effects of
cultivation are:
Q) Preventing weeds from robbing
the corn Of soil moisture and fertility.
(2) Putting the surface In condi-
tiOn to take In rainfall, thus prevent
ing run-off and erosion, which mean
losses Of water and soil fertility.
(S) Warming the soil by drying its
surface quickly.
(4) Saving moisture by checking
its capillary rise to the soil surface.
Some Injurious effects of cultivation
are:
N Breaking the corn roots which
otherwise would use some Of the
moisture Of light showers before II
evap6rates; and
(2)> Forming large. clods and air
spaces. thus permitting air to enter
