make your own quite a thrill and you can do it and fashion editor cites steps to success in thb effort bv ihrottiv roe associated ptmm fashion editor wouldn t it be nice if you could make your own easter suit easter is april 25th you know i well you can if you are handy with a needle able to read instruc tions and potsentted of a modicum of patience most homo uevhlng fans quail at thought of mnklntr o tailored suit but like any other dressmaking it ull depends on fit and finish and here are a few itelpful tips on how to achieve these two goals 1 when you get out your sewing machine get out your iron also and press as you work if your fabric has not been proshrunk sponge it yourself so your suit will retain its fit and shape be sure to press each seam open immediately after sewing it using n damp cloth this is one of the first and most important sec- rots of good tailoring pattern oil fabric 2 after selecting your pattern pin it together nnd try it on making any necessary alterations then lay your pattern on the fnbrlu nnd cut all parts of the oont at one time mark ing centre fonts seams darts etc with tailor tacks run marking hast ing down center back 3 use an interfacing of tailor s canvas or unbh at hed muslin in the collar and front to keep the jacket in shape cut the interfacing on the bios liaste to the jacket with diag onal bastlngi making sure these do not show on the right side 4 pin and baste jacket together baste bleeves in nrmholo adjusting until the fit is easy and smooth place shoulder pads in vosltlon re baste coat according to altered lines try on again ond stitch pressing as you go 5 use stay tape a narrow twill tape to keep jacket edges from stretching after shrinking the tape baste along seam lines along the roll line of the lapel dnd along edges of neckline and jacket always a trifle inside seam and roll lines apply tape to edges of the collar in the same manner collar to jacket 6 join outer collar to facing under to jacket baste and seam turn up hems of jacket bottom and sleeves sew seam binding to raw edge and blind stitch make lining according to your pattern chart try on jacket wrong side out put on the lining and tack seams to each seam of jacket turn in lining at front and sew with fine hemming stitches turn up hem of lining handstitch to jacket hem ad just sleeve lining in similar manner after the jacket is finished make the skirt youll find it simple as a breeze after achieving the jacket if you proceed step by step giving full attention to fit and finish youll end up with a suit youll be proud to wear in the easter parade and hs easier than it sounds chronicles i ginger farm wihaua baenany tea- taw aet free psoas h gwwdounef- ctthtatr we heard marsh frogs down here for the first time this spring on the night of march 31 and it was a very welcome sound but now the frogs are silent once again but then they have to be hut up three times be fore seeding dont theyt right how the weather is acting very much as it did last year you think a few days of high winds and warm sunshine will put the land in shape for seeding and then all your calculations are upset by heavy rain hard frost or a snow storm however that gives the far- i mer a little time to attend some of the auction sales in this district while mrs farmer gets on with her house- cleaning and thats one job i have nt got at yet at least i havent rea the stage when the house is allegedly turned upside down and tn- side out but x have done a lot of mending and sewing every week i have some sort of a bee ail to myself and believe me if some of these home economic experts could see the overalls 1 have mended and the stock ings i have patched they might even i learn a thing or two themselves be fore i consider a pair of overalls ready fcr the ragbag there u little left of the original garment other than the buttons and bib and when i finally discard the garment i cut off thv metal buttons for salvage and then those stockings patching you know will just about double the lifetime of a pair of stockings and it done properly is more comfortable and lasts longer than darning my houery is divided into two clanwa golngout stockings and staying- home stockings and of the latter variety it doesnt always follow that two stockings rolled up together are a palrl i just match them up as near ly alike as i can and let em go at that next week is sheet week which means going over all our worn and half worn sheets and getting tic best i can out of them our son bob was terribly hard on sheets nnd young john was worse had i patch ed them with sheet iron i believe those boys would have gone through the middle of them i also had a slip week when i mnde four slips for myself light weight and heavy weight then i had an underwear patching bee on gar ments nearing the end of their second year but which with a little per suasion can i believe be made to last another year so although i havent done any house cleaning i have been busy and it seems to me that getting well ahead with ones mending is a good preliminary to housecleanlng partner has had his share of extra seasonal work there have been three new calves just recently but alas these same calves will soon be orphans as they ore all of the male variety and will be sold to another farmer for vcators so in a few weeks time maybe you and i may be getting calf for coupons a few minutes ago i mentioned nuctlon sales and well i might for wp liavj never had so many sales lift ed in this district before it is defin ite proof if proof were needed of how serious the farming situation has become in several instances a sale has been necessary for no other rea son than lack of holp but there is one comforting thought in each case someone is buying the farms and dairy herds that are being sold but for what purpose and what the result will be we cannot tell it may be just a scheme by moneyed business men to obtain tax exemptions but that is their worry not ours but here is what will interest us will the new owners be able to produce and overcome labor shortage any better than their predecessors i am inclin ed to think they will as they will be able to afford to pay better wages you can generally tell when a farm has been taken over by a business man because in a little while the old buildings are demolished and replac ed with new a registered herd of cat tle are hausedln an up todate stable and when it is available a full line of implements is ready for action as everyone knows it takes money to make money and thus the business- majifarmer is able to weather the storm when there is a crop failure or stock losses and yet have sufflc lent capital to buy when the buying good it may beit just may be a good thing for the co country as a whole that many farms are changing hands increased production may be the re- ilt and for the farmer who is in position to retire there is no time like the present he may lose on the value of his land but judging from this years auction sales he wll reap a golden harvest on his stock and implements what britain thinks of canadian bacon one of the dominion department of agriculture staff now with can ada s active forces overseas dropped into a british grocery store the other day through the window he had seen several wiltshire sides on dis play and he decided that this was the place to find out what a typical small grocer thought about canadian bacon as soon as the grocer learned that the soldier had formerly been in hog production he went out of his way to show him around the shop saying your canadian bacon is jn higher favor with our customers than ever before i the grocer and his helper an at tractive girl shotved th visiting canadian how they cut the sides up into retail cuts first they removed the ribs one at a time then the shoulder and ham bones and short shanks they worked quickly but with such care that hardly a particle of bacon was sacrificed no wonder british retailers take great care in boning a wiltshire aide all the bacon they are allotted each week is four ounces for each customer plus ten per cent for bones the canadian sol dier observed that the entire wilt shire aide was handled as if it were gold and british consumers relish it eagerly buying their fourounce ration every weetr in this fourounce ration every thing is included cuttings trim mings and what is important every ounce of fat no matter how badly she may want good lean bacon for her household the british housewife has to take her share of this fat to encourage the production of lean bacon the british ministry of food pays a premium for the most desir able grades of wiltshire aides these can be obtained only from hogs whose carcasses grade a grade a carcasses are permitted only specified amounts of fat length and other kinds of con formation and they must be within the weight range of 140 to 170 pounds canadian farmers know that their re ward in marketing hogs nt the requir ed weights is not only in the prem iums but in the satisfaction of sup plying the british people with bacon in its most economical form ffaw zeww mfrss pastor in iiioiihpotm
