THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
TRAGEDY

ISCOVERY Of the fact that
IL the word tragedy" is Il
compound of two Greek words
meaning goat" and song. anu
that a literal translation Of the
original term would be "a song
of the goat throws but little
light upon the modern use Oh
the word, until one examines
the custom in vogue in ancient
Greece, particularly in connec-
ton with the production OF
tragedies.
Here. though, we find that the
goat played a central role IN
these entertainments. Not only
WAS one of the animals offered
as a prize for the best perform
ance by the actors but, because
the goat is very partial to eat
ing grape-vines, and therefore
an enemy of Bacchus-the pa
gan god of wine in whose hohor
the festivals were held-one or
them was sacrificed ut each pro-
duction of a tragedy. Further
TO carry out the smile, the ac-
tors were dressed for the most
part in goat skins, because
many of them posed as mar
tyrs, custom from which we
obtain our word "satirical." The
singing of a solemn, melancholic
song was the signal for the sac
rifice of the goat. and 1t Is be-
cause of this connection that we
APPLY the word tragedy" TO
something which Is extremely
sad. whether on the stage or In
everyday life.

South spinach can be planted in Oc-
tober and remain i'm the open ground
all winter.
For growing spinach in the home
garden a bed about feet in width and
% or 80 feet i'm length should be spad-
ed and a quantity of well-rotted ma
nure worked into the top 8 inches of
soil. Three pounds of commercial fer
tilizer should also be scattered over
the surface and well worked into the
soil. Six or eight ounces of seed will
be sufficient for this space. Sow in
little drills or burrows running length
wise of the bed, the rows to be about
6 or inches apart. The seed should
be covered u inch deep and the soil
slightly firmed over it. Watering
may be necessary if the weather
should be extremely dry following the
planting of the spinach seed.
Spinach grows quickly and requires
very little cultivation. except to loosen
the soil trifie between the rows and
keep weeds from getting start. If
the plants are too thick-that is,
crowd each other-they can be thinned
out and those removed in thinning
cooked for greens. The plants left will
then have room to grow larger. Spin

prepared by the United States Depart

From the time of termination TO
maturity corn should be given every
opportunity to make a steady, sound
growth. If the development of the
plants is checked from any cause 1t
may reduce the yield no matter how
favorable the later treatment. The
most successful corn growers realize
the Importance of thorough, early Gull
tivatiOn in order to prevent any check
in the growth of the plants because OF
weeds or crusted soil. AS n conse-
quence of heavy rainfall, the stalks
may increase rapidly in height and at
the same time, for lack of cultivation
or of soil fertility, or for other rea-
son, they may be slender, too tender.
or of poor color. Thrifty corn plants
are thick, strong, and of dark-green
color.
Use Weeder Soon After Planting.
Horse weeders and harrowS should
be used when needed to break Il sur

or kill young weeds that start before
the corn is up. While the plant Is
very small, narrow shovels that throw
the soil but very little should be used,
and tenders are usually desirable to
prevent covering the plants.
Experience favors shallow cultiva-
ton, except If excessive rains have
packed the soil, when deep cultivation
will help to dry and aerate the ground.
In cultivating it is important to avoid
breaking the roots of the plants. If
the plants have reached a height of
or 3 feet the soil in the middle of
the rows should not be cultivated
deeper than inches, and sometimes
less. For retaining soil moisture a
loose soil mulch . or 3 inches in
depth should be maintained.
The question is frequently asked
how often corn should be cultivated.
