County Agent Lists
Jobs For Farmers

The success Of our 1916 crop Is
going to depend very largely on
what the farmer does during the
next so days, says County Agent /.
w. Carson. OF course the weather
will play its part. During the first
Al days Of l946 an average of one
half inch of rain fell per day. This
represents as much moisture as
would be needed in making a crop
if the proper distribution could have
been made, although our average
annual rainfall is approximately IS
inches.
Some important farm jobs that
should be attended to at once are:
l. Top dress oats with nitrogen
not more than 80 pounds Of element
nitrogen per acre.
2. Sow Is pounds Of common les
pedeza on oat sod.
3. Get all the seed that is going
to be needed. They will cost more
later.
4. Look over the pasture and
treat 1t with what it needs -seed'
might be needed.
S. Vaccinate the pigs il they are
2 months old or older against chol-
era, hemorrhagic septicemia and
calves against hemorragic septicemia
and blackleg.
6. Treat all cows and work ami
mails for lice with SO derris dust.
If they have wolves or grubs, treat
them also with derris. DR.. Clay Lyle
recommends Ia percent straight for
wolves. A higher percent strength
can be used-just costs more.

Sweetpotatoes probably rank next

to their mild flavor of which the

Francis Lederer is brave enough
to say that he doesn't worry about
money in his career, only about
giving a good performance. II
don't care If I play to an audience
in Poughkeepsie, London, Pasadena
or in my own room-just so that I
don't give bum performance" he
says.
Lederer actually is more devoted
to his work than most actors; his
intensity explains his steady success
on both stage and screen. His in
terest extends to little theater
groups; he'll drive any distance to
watch the performance of a new
company.
Lederer is a highly sensitive man,
tall, slender, taut as stretched
wire. In his late 30s, he retains
the dark handsomeness that made
him matinee idol in the Barry
more tradition when he first hit
Broadway in 1882 in Autumn Gro
Gus" He works out daily in his
gymnasium and enjoys horseback
riding or working about his ranch.
Lederer came to America from
his native Prague with a top-rung
record in Europe in both theater
and films. He starred for Max Rein

in Romeo and Juliet" In New
York he followed up with Golden

'Antigone' Modernized
But 1t Does Not Give Katharine Cornell
an Easy or Believable Role to Play

certainly didn't bring much Of its
vaunted merit to the Broadway
stage.
The story of "Antigone" is one Of
resentment to dictator, but
whether the dictator or the brood
ing young lady who fights against
his dictation wins out in the end Is
something which Is, I'm afraid, very
moot. She defeats his orders to
have her killed only by committing
suicide, and there are other suicides
by which her lover and others reg
lister sympathy and belief in her
stand. But the dictator goes on his
Fascist way, still managing to ex-
plain his side with logic and science.

sions, the play suffered badly from

Lacks the Graces.
The modernization of the ancient
Greek tragedy, too, had much cur
rent-day reference spread through
its classical style and manner,
which managed to create an irri-
tating anachronistic effect that was
more distracting than undermining,
more discouraging and puzzling
than truly excellent simplification.
AS staged by Guthrie McClintic,
"Antigone" lacks most of the graces
which might turn audiences to its
aid. Miss Cornell even comes of
badly, at best running a distant
second behind Sir Cedric's expert
acting. The titled Britisher proves
his right to royal renown for his
acting abilities by keeping things
going far above the level of the
writing and production generally.
Miss Cornell's role is not easy, or
even very believable, since the mo-
tivations Of her heroic stand on the
side of decency are sometimes more
than slightly fuzzy.
The drama is set against a simple
gray background, with a minimum
OF scenery, and the actors and
actresses are dressed in evening
clothes and Valentino gowns. The
chorus" who explains the action
and implications of the play, is a
dinner jacketed fellow who smokes
cigarettes in casual fashion and acts
as if nothing really mattered much
however the drama turned out.
Sorry to say, he seemed to be right.
