.WAsHINGToN1ANs will remember
w the tall young singer, Elda Vettori
born in italy but receiving all her
training in this country since early
childhood-who made her debut in the
title role of La Tosca" with the Wash
ington Opera Co. couple of seasons
ago and who returned to sing that role
even more beautifully last February.
1t is interesting to find that Miss
Vettori, who was taken by the Metro
politan Opera Co. following her per-
formance here, shared honors equally
with the great prima dOnnas OF that
company, Elisabeth Rethberg and Maria
Jeritza, in the gala festival of grand
opera presented by the San Francisco
Grand Opera Co., in the season opened
September IS.
Miss Vettori sang leading roles in five
operas Nine. Rethberg sang leading
roles in five, and Nine. Jeritza sang
leading roles in four performances.
The roles Miss Vettori sang included
dramatic soprano roles in La Cena
della Beffe," ."Turandot" Liu to
Jeritza's Turandot), "L'Amore del Ire
Rel" "Cavalleria Rusticana" and II
Pagliacci." In all but "Turandot" she
sang the prima donna role.

The Revelers have been back from
Europe something like two weeks, and II
they seem little breathless from the
experience they may be excused, for
their trip was so successful that they
have arranged a return to the conti-

at double their 1923 fee.
1t seems that their first concert in
Vienna was a sell-out. and the second,
arranged spontaneously in a much

brought out a gathering that worried

Youthful America is witnessing it's

observed it's 50th anniversary. This
year the American pioneer in steam

second century without having changed
either it's corporate name or its funda-

of passengers and freight and the same

have always been closely allied. To

Dangerous to Turn Cows
on Pastures Too Early

Turning cows out on the pastures
too soon in the spring is one of the
common mistakes milk producers
make. according to dairy specialists,
Iowa State college, and this year the
tendency will be greater than before
because of the general shortage of
feed.
To turn the cows out in the pastures
too early hurts the pastures, and the
feed value of the pastures is especial
ly low so that it hurts the cows, early
grass consisting mostly of water.
Wait until the grass gets a good start
and take the cows off winter roughage
feeds gradually, advise the extension
men. Six to eight weeks after the
cows have been on pasture the me-
dunn producers will do fairly well on
grass alone. With high producers,
however, the grain allowance should
be continued but may be cut down
few pounds.

Circular Tanks Best
for Storage of Grain

Huge skyscraper tanks designed for
the purpose of storing grain have been
constructed. The 6ld form of tank is
square or rectangular; the new form
is circular, affording a far greater re-
sistance TO the pressure of the con-
tents upon its sides. Grain weighs
about 60 pounds per bushel and, being
very mobile, eXerts an enormous pres
sure-something like that of a column
of water of~the same height. Moreover,
the grain in humid weather tends to
expand and thereby greatly increases
the lateral pressure. Great care must
be taken to exclude moisture. With
this end in view the new tanks are de-
signed with a lining of glazed tile as
well as an exterior covering of the
same. In addition, iron bands, cement
and wire netting are used.
These giant tanks are arranged pair
by pair. Underneath all is a tunnel,
through which grain may be delivered
as occasion requires. The smooth,
glasslike surface of the interior insures
a smooth flow without Judgment Of the

Cultivation of Alfalfa
Will Pay Farmers Well

Farmers In many sections where
weeds are a problem In alfalfa grow
ing, are reporting successful results
with improved alfalfa cultivators. Blue
grass and weeds are torn out without
injuring the alfalfa, though the ground
is torn up considerably. AS one farm
er remarked. "My field sure looked
sick for few days after ! went over
it with the cultivator, but in week or
two the alfalfa was In fine shape
again."
The alfalfa roots grow deeper into the
soil than the weeds and blue grass,
hence are not torn out by the cultiva-
ton.
The cultivation is done early In the
year, usually preceding or following
the first cutting. Unless the season
is very unfavorable, the second and
third cuttings are thicker and weed
free, according to those who have fol-
lowed the practice of cultivating their
alfalfa, while the life of the seeding
is greatly prolonged through the op-

Combine Has Advantage,
Saving Grain and Labor

Besides saving an immense amount
of labor in the harvesting and thresh-
ing of grain, the combine also has the
advantage of wasting less grain than
any other method of harvesting. Every
farmer knows that there is a certain
amount of grain lost behind the cut
ter-bar of binder, as well as some
SCATTERING in the binding mechanism
and when the bundles are dropped. A
further loss occurs in shocking, still
more in loading and unloading, and
there is always some waste around the
threshing machine, besides the small
amount which usually goes through
with the straw unless the machine is
very carefully operated. The total
loss with the binder method varies, of
course, with the condition of the grain,
but it is always appreciate.
