PREHISTORIC RELICS FORM
 NATURE SHOW IN COLORADO

WASHINGTON, D. c. June 12- In Mesa Verde National Park, Col orado, the visitor this summer may behold for the first time the skele- tai remains of one of the prehistoric inhabitants of this region as he was laid out in his grave centuries ago, acording to statement issued by the Department of the Interior.
 These human skeletons were un- covered in an aboriginal cemetery near the southeast corner of Pipe Shrine House last summer All the skeletons that were found were we'll preserved, considering their antiqui- ty and had been buried in an ex- tended position on a hard lay bed. They lay on their backs at full length with legs crossed and heads oriented to the east, general ly accompanied by mortuary yes sels of burnt clay and other ob- jects. These vessels once contained food and water, the spirit of which was thought would be suitable food for the spirit of the defunct.
 Every bone of one skeleton was left where it was found and was not raised from the position in which it was inferred owed 500 years ago. Walls of a stone vault were constructed around it, reach ing to the surface of the ground, and to a wooden frame, firmly set in cement, was nailed a wire net ting, above which was constructed a waterproof wooden roof hung on hinges. By raising this roof the visi- tor may now behold the skeletal re- mains of a man about forty-five years old, feet 6 inches tall. So far as known this is the first time care has been taken to pre- serve a skeleton of Pueblo in it's aboriginal place so that it may be seen by visitors. It shows the en- vironment of the defunt and sat isfactorily answers the question whether the Cliff Dwellers were pygmies.

LAWYERS TO REWRITE LAW
 TO REMOVE UNCERTAINTIES

WASHINGTON, D. c. June 12- The gift of the income from more than a million dollars, to continue for ten years payable to the Amer ican Law Institute to aid that or ganizstion in its ambitious project of restating the common law, has excited much favorable comment a. mong educators and legal lights in the Nationals Capital,
 It is explained that thirty of the foremost lawyers of the country, under the leadership of Elihu Root, last May formed a comimttee to investigate the causes of the laws uncertainties and unnecessary com plcations and the possibility of es- tablishing a permanent organization to fulfill the public obligation of the profession to promote the ad- ministration of justice, especially the clarity and simplicity of the law.
 After months of research and dis cussion the committee issued a re- port urging the establishment of a law institute, the first and most im- portant work of the institute to be the restatement of the law.
 On February B last this report and its recommendations were con- sidered in Washington at the most notable gathering of the members of the legal profession ever held in this country. Those present in- eluded the Chief Justice and mem bers of the Supreme Court of the United States, many other members of the higher Federal judiciary twenty-one State chief justices; re- presentatives of all the bar asso- ciates in the United States, the fac ulties of all the leading law schools and about two hundred other lead ing members of the bar specially in vited.
 The Washington meeting created and directed the incorporation of the American Law Institute, which will now, with these funds, begin the most far-reaching legal reforms ever attempted.
 The officers of the institute are Elihu Root, honorary president; George W. Wickersham, president; i; Benjamin N. Cardo, vice presi- dent; and George Welwood Mur- ray, treasurer The affairs of the institute are managed by council of the leading lawyers and judges of the United States.
 William Draper Lewis, of the law school of the University of Penn sylvania, has been chosen director of the institute. ...

The experience Of British Column

years has impelled them to move
for an effective marketing 2f the

the province is represented in the
organization and the campaign is
to be aggressively maintained, with
the goal Of at least 80 per cent of
the growers in the cooperative
body.
A central holding body is in proc
ess of formation to take over and
operate existing plants and build
ings; 1t is to be financed by q bond
issue. The amount Of capital is not
yet definitely fixed, but 1t will be
large enough to provide for pre-
cooling and cold storage plants in

Sandy soils are poor in their con-

sidered.
The use OF potash viii often prove

sandy soil with clay subsoil. Il is
also known that while clay soils are
possibly deficient In plfusphoric acid,
they are frequently very rich In
potash. because this element Of
plant food is s. constituent Of the
rocks and minerals from which this
type OF soil is formed.
Peaty soils being the result OF
accommodations of slowly decaying
organic matter, are quite rich in
nitrogen content but rather meagerly
supplied with phoapl1oric acid and
Soils are mixtures Of sand, clay,
silt and organic matter and there

Iizer needs. Chemists have analysed
soils and made 1t possible 20 know
the total amounts Of nitrogen and
phosphortc acid and potash in a.
soil, but they can't ten how much
Of this plant food becomes ayailab1e
to the crop each year.
However, IL an analysis shows
that an acre Of soil contains only
500 pounds Of phOsphoric acid, 500
pounds nitrogen and 1000 to 800
Of potash In its top SIX or seven
inches, one can safely assume that
too small b quantity OF plant food
will be made available each year to
feed b large or profitable crop.
In most States the experiment
stations have conducted fertilizer
tests On their own farms, located
IN various parts of the. State, and.
also cooperative experiments with
farms on different soil types. From
the results az these experiments the

Of present area and increased

There is no formula by which
the farmer may operate his tractor
power to assure these results. He
must fit the machine into his oper-
atoms intelligently and qualify him.
self to have the power available
and in service during the greater
part of the year.
Seeing what a machine of certain
power will do, the farmer should be
able to work out q program for it's
full utilization. It is his fault, not
the machines, If it is not working
every day. Manufactures now
turn out tractors as reliable as high
grade automobiles, SO they rur
when given the necessary care.
Out Of the experience OF power
farmers there has come very etroue
argument for the tractor, even or
what are regarded as small farms
tor the farmer on forty acres may
by his intelligent utilization Of land
and diversity of crops, make it q
big farm in the amount and value
OF crops, and get a big return out
or the use of his tractor. i.
Manufacturers are keeping ahead
OF real developments on farms. SoI
the manufacturers are offering 3
wide range Of power and facility Il

tractor power has been on farms
where several operations in cultiva,

at the same time by drawlnr rev,

Pruning of Fruit Trees
Made Simple for AL

Tree pruning has become an elab
crate art. The practice varie.
largely and orchardists develop
methods out Of theiE experience
Here are some of the terms used
to describe the various kinds:
Light dormant, heavy dormant
light summer, heavy summer and
combinations of light dormant and
light heading back in Summer,
heavy dormant and heavy heading
back in summer. Heavy pruning
usually results in a large amount
of water sprouts.
With young trees receiving no
pruning the yield may be satisfac'
tory, but ices unavoidable and diff.
ficult to spray would result from
the no-pruning practice. The fruit
of such trees would become small
and poorly colored. 1t Is stated.
Moderate annual pruning is re-
garded as best.
