Cherry Blossoms
For Easter Depend
On Warm Weather
Vanguard of Visitors
Keeping Eye on Trees
bringing Tidal Basin.

While Washington will be without
cherry blossoms this Easter Sunday un-
less the weather warns up. Charles
Henlock, chief of the horticultural di-
vision of the Office of Public Buildings
and Public Parks. said today that a
warm day or two win brings the pink
ish petals out in force, around the
Tidal Basin.
The vanguard of the Easter visitors
is pouring into Washington and keep
ing an anxious eye on the cherry trees
that fringe the Tidal Basin. AS yet
they give not a hint Of bloom, for the
cold rains and the recent frosts have
closed up the buds tighter than drum
Should there be warm day, however,
Mr.. Henlock asserted, they should be
out for Easter Sunday, which comes
rather early this year, on April 5. If
the cherry blossoms are not out for
next Sunday, however, Mr.. Henlock
said that they will likely be out in two
or three days afterward.
A goodly harvest of blooms is ex-
pected this year and the experts of the
horticultural division make periodic ex-
aminationS of the trees to see if the
blossoms are showing up, but it all de-
ponds upon the weather, and that is in
the lap of the gods.

Roosevelt last night took cognizance of
an unofficial poll of Democratic ma

earlier statement on a similar matter.
''The Governor respectfully calls the
attention of editorial writer's and
Others" he said of the poll announced
by Jesse Isador Straus, ito a statement
issued by him en- November Z, 1890,
which he now desires to reiterate."
The statement, issued by the Cover

chairman, James A. Farley, had de-
clared the plurality given Mr.. Roosevelt
in the 1880 gubernatorial election indi-

"On several occasions during the past
two years I have stated unequivocaliy
that am giving no consideration or
thought or time to anything except
the duties of the governorship. I re-
peat that now, and to be perfectly
clearly understood, you can add that
this applies to any candidacy, national
or otherwise. Experience shows me
that I was right two years ago in be-
lieving that should give all my ener-

the divorce suit brought against
him by his second wife, shu Fei, out
OF court for $4,000.
The girl, daughter Of one of the

lawyers bargained with those of tie

fore an agreement was reached.
In addition, the ex-emperor
agreed to send to her all the clothes
and jeWelry which she left behind
when She fled last spring.
Loyal Manchus raised the money

admitted that he could not obtain
so much cash. Under the agree
ment which Pu vi made with the

him something like sl,50o000. He
Is not likely to get this sum, how

PROPER CARE OF
BULLS URGED BY
CATTLE EXPERT
prepared BY G. z. GORDON

Most dairy bulls do not get a
chance to be of full service TO their
owners. Many farmers make 1t Il
practice to dispose of their bulls
when they reach the age of 4 or 3
years. They are disposed of to
avoid inbreeding and, oftentimes,
because nulls reaching that age are
difficult to handle. 1t is not de-
sirable to pamper bull nor Is 1t
necessary TO waste any sentiment on
him. Neither should bull be
abused or kept under such condi-
tions as many Of them are forced
TO endure. Poor treatment may re-
duce their vitality, make them use
less as breeders, shorten their lives,
or convert sullen bulls into man kill
ing beasts.
Any bull worth using as sire In n
herd is worth caring for properly.
He should be a good individual
have a record backing superior to
that Of tiny COW in the herd, and ~
an investment he may represent the
combined value Of several COWS. II
he is good enough TO be used in the
herd he is worth the best of care
and should be treated accordingly,
If only from the standpoint OF the
owners financial welfare. 1t is i'm
possible for a bull to definitely
prove his worth until several of his
daughters have freshcned and fin
ished their lactation period. This
would Of necessity require that ne
be about years old or more When
bulls reach this age they are often
difficult 20 handle
There are two important items 10
consider IN the handling OF a bull 50
that he may give to his owner MS
full amount OF usefulness. These
two things should provide for prep
er care to insure health and yigor
and TO insure absolute safety to
those who are caring for the herd
Such provision can be made with
safe bull pen. This pen should
be large enough to provide for am
pie exercise and should be so ar
ranged that he can be fed and
wntered, the stall cleaned. and
