THE DRAMA

BY ASNE GOLDEN wILKERsON

AS nearly as may be ascertained in
viewing the New York stage at a long
Eange-or from seat, may l say, in
ke balcony of Birmingham-the
chances seem for rather a light theatri
cal summer.
Times are undeniably bad, and the
changers, the Frazees, the A. H
Woods the Sam H. HARNESSES, the Will
liam Bradies. the Selwyns, the Shu-
berts, the George O. Tylers, the George
NJ Cohans and others of their ilk dc
not seem inclined to take chances with
the hot months by bringing on many
new plays.
The lineup for this week in New
York theatres consists of Eugene
O'Neills Cold" the return engage
ment of The Tavern with the YER
satile George M Cohan as the vaga-
bond, the part played originally by
Arnold Daily, and a musical show from
the west, called Golden Gate Revels.'
The other play of the week will be
a return engagement of John Fer
guson," the well-known play by ST
John IRVINE.

our Theatre Guild producers will have
three plays running in New York at
the same time. These are apt to ex>
tend well into the summer. Lilliom, "

that when he moves a play into New

there for a term of years.
One of the most interesting of the ar

is Miss Elsie DeWolf. When l first

studio is on Forty-seventh street.

course, as Shylock. This report is

Horse or Tractor

From Farm Llfe.
On farms averaging 25S acres in size,
the tractor has displaced 2.2 horses, ac-
eordng to an inquiry made by the gov
eminent in Indiana, Ohio and Illinois.
On these farms the operators kept one
head of work stock for each Is acres
of land before they bought the tractors,
and afterward they kept one head of
work stock for each 3S acres, emitting
minor fractions. Last year it cost $134 to
feed a hcrse-and therefore the tractor
saved about $275 worth of horse feed.
This wear it will cost only about 500 to
feed horse. AS the government figures
it the cost of blowing with tractors runs
a little more than 50 an acre. while the
cost of blowing with horses ran nearly
s3 an acre But these figures are offset
Nv the fact that it costs a little less to
disk or TO cut grain with horses. Taken
ali around the figures indicate that there
is not a great gain in the matter of econ
omy by the use of tractors. The advan-
&c lies in getting a larger amount OF
work done in a day during the pusy sea-
son--and In getting, perhaps, better
seed bed by the use of the tractor. On
the other hand the tractor makes no ma
nure for the increase Of fertility-and
furnishes no market for the feeds raised
on the farm The matter seems to break
about even between the tractor and the
horse But we still believe that the flu
tire lies with power farming, because
the mower machine may be expected to
become not only more economical, but
more efficient-while the horse has
reached the. height of his efficiency.

How to Ship Eggs

From Farm Life.
Robert E. M. Cowie, Woe president Of
the American Railway Express CONF
pany, says his concern loses more than
100000 a month from the breakage OF
eggs in transit.
Eggs should not be- shipped In sect
ond-hand containers. The company
will not pay losses If old strawboard
filters are used.
Excelsior pads should be used at bot
tom and top of crate, and between thu
first and second layers,
Eggs should be packed with the lit-
tie end down
Do not mix large eggs and small
eggs in the same layer.
Egg cases should never be stood on
end.
No cracked or soft-shelled eggs
should ever be packed.
Mr. Cowie sums up his recomm enda-
lions as follows.
New Al cases, carefully strength
ened with large-headed, cement-coat-
ed four penny. wire nails. with cup
filters, or If new honeycomb filters
are used, six excelsior cushions, Is the
cheapest insurance the egg shipper
cal buy"

The Draft Dodgers

From Leslies.
There are more than 100000 draft
Germany. Every dodger ought to be
confronted with a military tribunal,
and the system they sought to deface
exhibited in all its vigor. This is not
vengeance. This is exact and even
justice. These skulkers are renegades
and apostates, and they should be
struck by the rod of the law on the
possible chance that the spark of pa
triotism may be kindled in their dead
sensibilities. This exercise of the mill
tary prerogative would be vindication
of the civil draft boards, and would re-
move the stultifying reproach that in
the direst crises of citizenship the COM
mon rights of citizens may be treated
carelessly by defiant element
The contention that retroactive pun
ishment is difficult and uncertain
serves as an apology for cowardice.
The motive of all punishment of crime
is the salutary example. We shelter
a class in need of a warning. 1t is
infinitely important that this clasA be
reminded that the day of reckoning Is
marked. Lenity would encourage the
prostitution of loyalty by milk bloods
and half breeds in future portland
what honest man, viewing the emer-
gencies of the last seven years, does
not apprehend other hours when the
guns shall roll through the streets?
Every convicted draft dodger ought
to be disbarred from citizenship in the
country he refused to defend. Sentence
in jail and fines are fully justified.
This is matter that ought not to be
left to expediency. 1t has no aspect
which entities the criminals to either
mercy or sympathy. 1t might be con-
tended that slackers, so deficient in
that generous courage which is the
basis of manhood, would not fear
shame. But these dodgers, baptized
into the communion of citizenship,
sought to make it sacrament OF in
fanny. They should be held UP as a list
of prescription, so that we may not
rear weaklings, nor our edifice be d
hurrow for rats.

Grading Seed Corn

From "The County Agent In Farm
Life.
Grading the seed corn is more essen
t;al Than is popularity supposed and,
next to having dependable seed, grad
ing is the most important thing in
getting 100 per cent stand. There
is no such things as a 100 per cent
hut at that, ungraded corn will not
come as near to 1T as graded. Last
year we had an ear-torow test, and
il happened that on one row, part Of
the hills were planted with kernels
from the butts of the ears and the rest
with the tips. And l observed. espe-
cially during the first part of the sea-
son. that the stalks from these butt
kernels greatly outgrew the others. We
gathered ears of uniform size, and
since the planter takes the number OF
kernels by measure, we get the same
number of kernels TO the hill or as
near that as possible by grading.

Inocculate Soy Beans

From Farm Lie.
Before sowing soy beans, you will
get big value for the time you spend
inoculating them. especially II inoculae
ton is successful. We have secured
excellent results by inoculating soy
beans that were inoculated last year.
We use weak glue solution which is
sprinkled on with brush or put on
with hand sprayer, using. from one to
two quarts Of soil for each bushel OF
beans cupful of this glue solution
will inoculate bushel of beans. and
more than this may cause the skins to
split, especially If the beans are re-
sacked and kept for couple of days
before planting. incubation is surer
il the beans ar inoculated the same
day they are sown and then planted
without being exposed to the light.
