The Federal government is al

accomplish it.

portunlty to sprout cnrly and
be killed by diskings before

experiments made will indicate
the value of early blowing:

The above table shows clearly
that it is very profitable to plow
early. Although this blowing

and labor we'll spent
It's very necessary, in order
to get good vigorous full

and one that has had time to
settle. Early blowing means
less work AT seeding time, b,

The Japanese are probably the only civilized people in the world who eat ice in the way they do. Blocks of small cakes of ice smashed into tiny pebbly pieces are eaten with sugar and lemon or any other mixture one may fancy. But by far the commonest way of eating ice is to shave it intoS snowy flakes by means of plane and swallow it with sweetened water into which various ap- petizers may be thrown, such as fruit juice or sweetmeats.

LAKELAND FOLL|ES HEADL|NER AT LYRIC
 FOR FIRST HALF
Many Features on Bill for Week, Comedy, Songs and
 Dances Prevailing

Leading off with Eleanore Cochran, dramatic soprano, and the Jazzland Follies, the management of the Lyric has secured for presentation the first three days of next week some of the best Keith acts that ever touched Bir- mingham. Such attractions as Moore and Whitehead in comedy chatter Mack and Earl in some of Mack's own ma- terial, the Georgalis Trio expert marks men, and others are billed. Lyric Screen Telegrams feature every performance.
 Miss Eleanore Cochran is brilliant artiste of international fame, and former ly appeared on operatic and concert stages. She is assisted at the piano by MT Al Terry. Miss Cochran possesses a dramatic soprano voice of extraordinary
 and power, and her singing is most pleasing.
 ''n a range the Georgalis Trio prob ably would give a good account of them selves, but their forte is fancy shooting, and they put on act that would make William Tell slink back to his mountain home in disgrace A pretty woman adds to the attractiVeness of the act. The trio shoots at any old thing, and don't know what it means to miss, for the reason they never miss.
 Keller Mack and Anna Earl have an act of more than ordinary merit. Mr Mack, who is humorist and song writer prepared the material for the skit, and it goes good. Miss Earl is more than commonly clever, and is decidedly fair to look upon. The act is good and doubtless will win applause here.
 Frank Moore and Joe Whitehead, stars of many successes, will appear in line of comedy chatter which should take well. Both are comedians of the above average sort, and have records of great success in vaudeville-big time vaude- vile.
 The Jazzland Follies, which will be of fered as an extra added attraction, has eight people in it's cast. and is well worth seeing It is really entitled to headline position, but was secured so late that it could nat be placed there. The jazz band in the act is declared to be among
