Backward Season
For Gardeners

Not for many years has the season
been as backward for gardeners and
ranchers as II is the case this spring
and planting of nearly all kinds OF
crops has been delayed as conse-
auence of it. Although past the mid
die of April trees and shrubbery are
only just beginning to put out their
LEAKAGE, in fact, only the earlier yarie-
ties of trees and shrubs are showing
evidence OF their summer verdure. In
many cases the trees appear as qui.
escent and lifeless as in mid-winter.
Orchardists and gardeners agree that
vegetation has not been held back by
cold wather 10 so late a date befroe
for 20 years.

weather forecaster in charge of the
Denver district of the weather buearu.

declares the season from an agricul-
tural standpoint has not been so back
ward for a long period, although the
low temperatures of March and the
first two weeks OF April, he says. were
beneficial to fruit by preventing a
premature development.
The month of March was unusu-
ally cold in Western and Central Col
orado." said Mr.. Thiessen. Heavy
precipitation occurred in the Western
slope, where the ground already was
wet. The care of the orchards was
interefered with. and early farm and
ranch work retarded The weather

RADIO for the best growth of grass and
winter grains, and for spring plowing
and seeding.
However. recent moderate to heavy
rain and snow greatly improved the
grain in several EASTERN counties of
strong winds in March and early in
April covered considerable winter
grain in several eastern counties of
the state. Range grass is short. and
some loss TO livestock is reported on
the Western slope among weak tsock.
However. the livestock continues to
Improve generally"

PERU'S DRIFTING SAND DUNES

As one makes the ascent Of the

to the divide is broken by two great
steps or widespreading shelves of des-
ert or pampa.
On the first of these steps. about
two hours steep climb from the sea,
and at an altitude Of from four thou
sand to five thousand feet. are located
the famous drifting sand hills of Peru
The plateau Is here about twenty
miles wide the air thin and dry and
no trace Of vegetation to be seen, only
these gigantic crescent-shaped sand
dunes dotting the pampa as far as
the eye can see.
Composed of fine gray crystal sand,
they CLEAN white against the brown
Of the desert, and their horns point
toward the prevailing south wind of
this region. They are from fifteen
to twenty feet in breadth across the
thick part of the crescent and some
times one hundred feet from horn to
horn. So tightly is the sand packed
that the feet Of the horses or mules

Allo. Land to Eskimos.

It is announced from Ottawa that
the Canadian government has decided
to reserve for the remnant Of the
Eskimos a small part Of the terri
tory over which they formerly ranged
at will in the varying pursuits Of fish

to consist Of Banks and Victoria IS

as the continent. known as the North
west territory, and far north of the
arctic circle.
From this reservation. and apptr-
emily the waters Immediately adjacent

DEW HAS WHALING EFFECT


Dew is vltalizlng, not entirely be-
cause 1t is water but because it pos
sesses an invigorating action due part
" at any rate to the fact that it is
saturated with oxygen, and it has been
stated that during its formation per
oxide of hydrogen and some ozone are
developed 1t is not improbable that
the peculiarly attractive and refresh
ing quality that marks the eHrly-morn-
ing air has its origin in this way. The
difficulty of inducing grass 10 flourish
under a tree in full leaf is well known
and is generally explained by saying
that the tree absorbs the nOurishlng
constituents of the soil OF that it keeps
the sunlight away from the grass and
protects it from rain. 1t is doubtful
whether any Of these explanations IS
true, the real reason most probably
being that the yitallzing dew cannot
form upon the grass under a tree
whereas as rule both rain and light
can reach It.
