.THEATER MAN
SUCCUMBS TO
DEATH STROKE
Alexander Pantages
Found Dead in
His Bed

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. II.
(UP)-AleXander Pantages,
millionaire theater magnate,
was found dead today at his
home.
A maid discovered the body in
bed when she entered the bed
room, after receiving no response
TO her knock.
Death was attributed to natural
causes by Detective Lieut.. D. L.
Patton of the Central Homicide bu-
reau, who was summoned to the
home on north Vermont avenue.
Alexander Pantages emerged
from the Alaskan gold rush to
found a nation wide chain of thea
tiers bearing his name. He was
forced into virtual retirement sew
en- years ago by the sensational
charges of l7-year-old dancer,
Eunice Pringle, that he attacked
her in his theater office. He was
tried, convicted, retired and &C
quilted. Last fall he launched a
comeback and was rebuilding his
showhouse chain at the time of his
death.
Pantages was born on an island
off the coast of Greece in family
which had followed the sea for
generations. At the age of 9, he
was taken, by his father on a voy-
age TO Cairo. There young Pantgaes
deserted his fathers ship for a
tramp steamer that took him to
every corner of the world.
At Is he arrived at Dawson City

Harry Horton Traces
Aid to Districts
Power Plan

"The biggest thing that
could have happened to u.s."
SO Chief Counsel Harry
w. Horton of the Imperial
Irrigation District Monday
described the United States Su-
preme Courts decision upholding
cCnstitutionaiity of the Tennessee
Valley Authority.
1t clears the way for the federal
government to loan money to pub
lie agencies for power development.
Horton said He added:
1t removes any question of the
right of the government to loan
money to the irrigation district
]cr power development on the
All American canal.
1t undoubtedly will have its eff
feet on the United States circuit
court in speeding pending litiga-
ton now hindering full power de-
velopment here.
Highest Precedent
Indirectly, it places the full
weight of the supreme court be-
hind the districts program. 1t
gives the district the highest prec-
edent in the event of further All
American canal power litigation.
although the district was not
a party to this suit" Horton de-
clared, "the decision is the biggest
victory for the district since the
All American canal was contem-
plated"
Since suit by the NeV-Cal
Electric Securities company against
the district attacks legality of the
districts right under the state
conclusion to enter into the power
business, the supreme courts de-
cision under the federal conStitu-
ton is expected to have a decided
effect on the Nev-Cal action. De-
cided federal district court in IA

case has been appealed to the cir
cult court, where the appeal is
pending.
Basis of Suit

Outlines 3-Point.
Program

{. B. Williams, head of the Agron-
omy department at N. G. State College,
has outlined the following three-point
farm program for 1885:
1. Produce ample food and feed
crops to meet the needs of the farm
and family.
2. Grow soil-inproving crops like
cowpeas, soybeans, velvet beans and les
pedeza during the coming summer and
use at least large part of them for
building up the producing power of the
soil by blowing them into the soil after
they have thoroughly matured. OF
course, this does not mean that some of
the crops should not be harvested for
hay purposes for feeding the work and
other livestock on the farm, but it
should be clearly understood that tine
growing of leguninous crops OH the
farm and taking these crops off and
feeding them can never be depended up
on to materially build up the producing
power of the farm, if at ALL
3. Grow on each farm only such
acreages of cotton or tobacco as can be
fertilized we'll and can be properly cul
tivated with the labor force that will be
available on the farm.

every three or four acres OF orchard is
a good investment.
Summarizing, we find that a number
of factors other than pollination may
cause failure of blossoms to set fruit;
that with the possible exception of sour
cherries, some of the European plums,
and most peach varieties, provisions
should be- made for proper cross-pollin-
alton when planting fruit trees; that
many of our best varieties of apples are
self-unfruited; that top working or
grating good pollenizers OH non-bearing
trees will hasten solution of the prob
lem; and that bees play an important
part in fruit growing.
Do not destroy your fruit and nut
trees and grape vines because they do
not bear, but rather attempt to de-
termlne the cause or causes OF nom
fruiting.

If Teller has store or a mill or

hard to do on the farm. Still there can
be more bookkeeping on the farm than
is generally done. Figures may lie
little, yet all of us here in the country
could get along better if we'd figure
more. Farming is the greatest business

planted, lack of pollination has, i'll many
cases. been one of the chief causes of
poor yields.
Where trees are healthy and vigor-
ous and bloom abundantly under favor
able weather conditions in the spring,
but still fail to set fruit, we are faced
with a pollination problem, so let us see
what can be done about it. The Wine
sap apple will not set fruit from the
pollen produced by its own flowers; we
will therefore call it self-unfruitful.
Grimes Golden, another commonly
known variety, will produce fruit from
the pollen produced by it's own flowers,
so we will call it self-fruitful. In ad-
dition it will furnish pollen for the
Winesap, which we will call cross-pol-
lination, and thus the Grimes Golden
is spoken of as being a good pollenizer
for other varieties.
Even with self-fruitful varieties, bet
ter crops are usually secured from cross
pollination. Self-unfruitful varieties
should never be planted in solid blocks.
A good plan is to have about every third
row planted with a variety which is
known to be a good pollenizer.
Provision for cross pollination
should also be made for pears, japanese
plums and sweet cherries before planting
the orchard. Sour cherry varieties are
usually self-fruitful in most sections of
the country, as are most peach varieties,
the Hale being an exception.

P0llination and Fruit Setting
By M. E. GARDN Err

In case provision has not been made
for cross pollination when the trees were
planted, two gratis may be set in every
other tree. These gratis will bloom in
about three years and should furnish
sufficient pollen for satisfactory produc-
ton. While these gratis are coming
into flower, bouquets of blossoms cut
from good polinizers may be placed
under the trees in pals of water. These
bouquets must be taken when the flow
ers in full bloom and bees must be
plentiful to transplant the pollen.
Since bees play such an important
part in transporting pollen from bios
som to blossom, discussion of the pol
lination problem would not be complete
without giving due credit to this busy
little insect.
1t has been shown by different in
vestigators that pollen is carried only

NJ OW that the time for planting

requests are coming to the Department
of Horticulture for information concern

Some of these are: pollination, frost,

consequently this agency
cannot be depended up
on to effect satisfactory

therefore, the m ain
agency in effecting cross
pollination between va

with different varieties
of pollen and this is left

blossoms to secure the
