81 w Vigor can be added to the old lawn with a good commercial fertilizer high in nitrogen, such as 10-6-4, during the early part of April at the rate of three pounds per 100 square feet. Good plowing for corn does not necessarily mean deep plowing. It does mean, however, plowing under all organic matter that has accumu- , lated on the surface. A cash crop is generally desirable j even with highly specialized livestock farming, for well adapted cash crops will ordinarily pay higher wages per hour for a limited amount of time than will other crops. Bush fruits may be mulched with a heavy layer of straw or strawy । manure when grown in the home garden where cultivation is likely to be inadequate. Asparagus and rhubarb are easily grown and should be found in every garden. When cutting seed potatoes, cut good-sized pieces. Each piece should weigh from 1 % to 2 ounces. Acid soils should be limed for most legumes, especially alfalfa ana 1 sweet clover. If a successful yield of either of these crops has not pre- \ viously been produced on the land, it should be tested for acidity before seeding t‘o determine its lime requirement. Grass on short, steep slopes ana in gully bottoms provides the best cover to check erosion, and 'skip plowing” these spots is a wise practice. It looks as tho we'll have the unemployed on our hands until we get . them on their feet.

sta|M % I w RIALTO THEATRE A drama tingling with excitement and suspense, ‘‘Desert Gold,” will play Friday and Saturday at the Rialto Theatre. The stirring taie of a white man’s treachery in his effort to obtain the last of an Indian tribe’s wealth, is the basis for ^ne of the most moving tales of the Old West. It is a story that only a [ master craftsman like Zane Grey i could write. ‘‘Desert Gold," deals with a young I Indian chieftain, abducted and horribly tortured by a villainous mine promotor and saved from death by a • young mining engineer. This res- . cue results in a lasting friendship i between the young men w hich prows ' of great value later when the engi- .' ner and his sweetheart are in danger. Attacked by desert bad-men, a terrific battle ensues between them with the Indians riding to the rescue. The young couple are themselves saved from death. The I climax of the story makes a thrilling fiery romance. । "The Prisoner of Shark Island” An almost forgotten island hell on the coast of America becomes the | center of action for the searing, eni thralling drama of “The Prisoner oi Shark Island, ’ 20th Century’s picture, at the Rialto Theatre, Sunday and Monday, with a special matinee I Sunday, at 2:15. Plucked from the pages of history the new picture tells the authentic । story of a man martyred for a deea ofmercy, torn from the arms of the 1 woman he loved to a living death on an island where brutes are masters. I The real life hero of “The Prisoner of Shark Island’’ was Dr. Samuel Alex. Mudd, who is portrayed on the screen by Warner Baxter. Sunscorched Fort Jefferson, on a tiny key in the Carribean, is the prison where he was sent under sentence of { life imprisonment. How Baxter, sustained by the love of his wife, Gloria Stuart, lives through physical and spiritual torture to emerge a’hero in the yellow i fever epidemic which strikes the i island is revealed in the picture. Colfax Theatre Old feuds die hard. They are horn easily, too easily, as is abund- । antly proved by the record in the Cumberland mountains of Kentucky and Virginia. A taunt, a petty argument, a fancied slight and the spark is in the powder. And once started, feuds die hard. Back in those blue-green hills are Americans still living like pioneers. The axe and the ritle are still their weapons and they still have the same fight with nature as did the men and women who made our nation. Back in the hills, their code in the feud goes right back to old clan loyalties. They argue this way. You are my friend or my kinsman, your quarrel is my quarrel, whoevei hits you hits me. 11 And over the years since the Rex- . olution and right down to present 1 days, this unswerving loyalty to | kinfolk and friend, whatever their h trouble, has taken its toll of lives and bitter enmities that seem proof I against the healing effects of time. ■ j A famous feud stalks through trie Technicolor drama. “The Trail of the I Lonesome Pine,” which Walter Wanger has produced from the John Fox, Jr. novel of that name. It । opens at the Colfax theatre. South ; Bend on Saturday, April 11. for a : seven day engagement, with Sylvia Sidney, Fred Mac Murray and Henry Fonda in the starring roles. FuX^s novel was actually patterned on •» ! famous feudist, “Bad John” Wright. I who died only a few years ago in his ' Cumberland home near Pond. Va >He was 88 and when he died, the J leader and veteran of many a mountain battle. “Bad John” gav< i Fox the inspiration for “Devil Judd" Tolliver, feud leader of the “Trail of the Lonesome Pine.” “Bad John" still stalwart in his later sixties, had gone over to “the law" and was a guard in the county jail when Fox met him and became his friend. “Bad John" had killed 1 nine men in his day. for certain, and i Cumberland tradition said the num- ■ her was more likely over thirty. On i this point. “Bad John.” with under- | standable and natural taciturnity. I said nothing. Despite his warring life. “Bad John” died a natural death, if a I death in bed from the infirmities of ■ old age can be said to be natural | for a mountain feud leader. He had made good on his boast that no bullet would get him. Feuds start qv. r as simple a thing as a patch in a boy's trousers. Taunted by a playmate, the boy tells his father, the father “takes it up" and the costly quarrel is under way. Once started, these inter-family wars are . hard to stop, enduring for decades ■ as rifle, shot-gun and pistol balance t the bloody ledger with eye*for eye, ' tooth for tooth, life for life. The quarrel over the ownership ot . two razorback hogs which a Hatfield i found rooting in the woods and I promptly penned up, started the fa- ' mous Hatfield-McCoy feird in the ! hills of West Virginia. which I claimed a total of twenty-six lives |on the known death list, not to ; count many men of the Hatfield and McCoy clans who just disappeared. I “Devil Anse” Hatfield, feud leader, 1 died only recently.
