s % *$* ,4h- PUINDIUIS, BBt5f? PESTIFEROUS GRASSHOPPERS ' Among tin special tfctags that Paris has provided for summer wear are " beautiful sweaters in artificial silk, silk and wool and in silk and metal. Prom a standpoint of fashion, observes a correspondent, woman will not accept i the mannish sports sweater. The smart Parisienne wants something . more dressy and more becoming. With ^ her the sweater blouse is worn to f take the place of a lingerie or silk I blouse and is not intended to be re- • moved as our sweaters are, conse- > quently it is not nearly so much of a : real sports garment. • well known designer In Paris, who ; was at one time a premiere in one • of the big dressmaking shops, has es- ,> tablishfed herself as an authoritative creator of the best and most artistic in this type of sweater blouse. She has placed her models successfully with prominent dressmakers who are < receiving a great many order* for them. Some of the best ofr these models, •< just received from Paris, are all of the knitted blouse type. We have had knitted blouses and • knitted dresses for some time, but they, like everything else, are- one of ' the things which fashion takes up cas- • ually and as casually lays aside, until some day one of these hitherto carelessly considered articles of dress suddenly becomes a decided erase, often last- I ing much longer than its most optimistic sponsors hoped for. There is ; every indication that the knitted blouse and the knitted dress and suit will A 4-^' fiyffiM!! if " i The Snappy French Sport Sutt In a Combination of Black and Whits. be prominent for autumn, so that It is quite safe to stock one's wardrobe with them. Tailored Suits In Small Qray Checks. Although French women recently hive shown an unusual amount of enthusiasm over certain types of tailored suits, their conception of a sport suit is quite different from that of the English woman or the American. In suits of knitted fabrics, any number of which are being made up, not only for immediate wear but for autumn and winter showing, the French oschew the conservative cost and skirt type, preferring those of the skirt and Jumper or overblouse sort. Although little variety is seen in the cut, much of It is introduced in other and more unusual wayB. For instance, if the suit is of brushed wool It is made up wrong side out; that is, with the brushed side on the inside of the garment and the plain side out. This gives the desired warmth for outdoor gatnos In winter knd also has a practical idea back of it. We all know the unpleasantness of having twigs and leaves as well as dust catch on the surface of a brushed wool garment. Most Interesting suits consisting of a skirt, high-necked overblouse with a smart matching tie and a little hat or cap, all knitted, are being shown by exclusive firms featuring sport clothing. These will be worn in the mountains this summer and will doubtless prove among the most popular suits for coon try wardrobes next winter. Striking are the colors and color combinations seen In these; There are rich yellow striped with black, the stripes being placed so that they form a band around the bottom of the styrt and on the ends of the scarf or necktie. Yellow also may be striped with a blue. Then there are beautiful tones of lavender, mauve and violet and a charming blue-green of the shade that one often sees in the woods in midsummer. A novelty woolen material, for sport suits, which was among the new fabrics this spring will be even more popular as the season advances. The pattern resembles the surface of a waffle iron with Its alternating onequarter- inch squares of crumpled and plain material. It may be had in all the bright shades of the modern spoct costume, as well as dark colors. 8ilk With Metal and Wool. Heavy silk sweaters recently Imported by prominent American firms have wool used in combination with the silk in an altogether new way. I have in mind a model of this sort which Is knitted of corn-colored silk. The wool takes the form of a vari-colored floral border around the neck, the short flowing sleeves and the bottom. The lovely yellow and silver sweater blouse called Bonton d'Or shows much the same treatment in metal and silk, the silver bands being placed on th^ collar, around the sleeves and bottom and forming the belt. The metal is knitted In the front In a rather complicated way. Reverting to the type of suit referred to previously as being one which has taken a tremendous hold on the public taste at the present time, it is Interesting not only as a fashion but as illustrative of the continuously varying demand, which gives rise to the mushroom success from time to time of quite obscure dress- : makers and the equally sudden fail of others in the proportion that they are able to create a new type or popularize an old oue at the crucial moment when that particular style happens, for some reason or another, to please the public to an unusual degree. At the present time O'Rossen. the tailor, is a big competitor of the dressmaker. There Is nothing striking about the suit which has been his greatest success. It consists of a straight skirt and a cont almost exactly like the oldtime rUilng-habit jacket with snugfitting coat sleeves, small collar and long revers to the waistline where one button is placed in link form. The coat has a slight flare. To be absolutely what Is demanded at the moment the suit must be of a lightweight iron gray checked material, the checks being so small that they are almost invisible. 14 * +A* m »>* r % ..f;* Vest Blouse In Prominence $#vfiS?.- ,4.'Hfe popularity of the suit, of course, creates a like demand for blouses. This is always welcome news to the blouse makers, who, having the variable winds of fashion so seldom fill their sails during the last few years, are on the alert to take advantage of everything that will stimulate their business. Consequently they are bending all their energies toward creating pleasing models. The great popularity of the tailored •uit brings into unusual prominence the vest blouse. All of the smart shops now are specializing in these, and among the most chic of the recent models is the gllet blouse, the front of which is developed in soft pearl gray kid embroidered In Muel It has the hack and sleeves of pearl gray georgette. In almost every instance the gilet blouse has the back and sleeves of a contrasting material, usually of a sheerer fabric than that used for the front. Double-breasted vest - blouses of the mannish type have fronts of embroidered linen with sleeves and back of sheer organdie. Madeleine et Madeleine have made some charming blouses of the gll«| sort from white satin and embroidered them In copper and black. Lacs Frocks 8tyllsh. The prettiest dresses of the season are lace, and a lace frock is really a practical affair when there is a dark silk lining and the bodice is made high at the back. Brown lace is especially fashionable and there are many gray laces as well. One brown lace frock is lined with brown satin meteor, which comes only halfway up In the bodice lining, flesh chiffon making the section over the shoulders. The brown lace bodice has sleeves to the elbow. With this frock a sash of brown and cerise double-faced ribbon Is worn. ?-* Color Hint -• If jrodtare not amply supftfted with money, it is a good idea to select one color for your tone for a season and buy everytihng to harmonize with that tone. Then, by changing combinations, you may have several outfits at smaller cost. • SOME NEW THINGS IN NEEDLEWORK iifm Tap--try Embroidery Affords Winsome Decorations Similsr to Those of Grandmother's Day. Tapestry embroidery, the very same work oar grandmothers did as gir!% Is one of the newest things In needlework. It Is worked on the soft Alda canvas or on the coarse weave congress canvas, and Is done with silk or wool yarn and a tapestry needle. It the work Is to be done in cross stitch work the Alda canvas is the better. For other tapestry stitches the congress is preferred. Any filet lace pattern may be done in tapestry as well as the many patterns designed for the work itself. > Cross stitch Is really the simplest * method and the* artistic effect depends i j on having the'top" threads of the Httle X which fills every square mesh i v of the canvas run in the same dlree- Chairs may be upholstered with tapestry pieces, scarfs and pillows, runasm and panels, and tw# trimming may be made oa Owtapestry nets. .. ?

There Is nothing so good as poisoned bran for taking the hop out of a grasshopper and there Is no better way of buying and distributing the bran than through a community organization, specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture find. In the areas where the grasshoppers come down on the farm crops like all the plagues of Egypt there should be grasshopper-fighting organizations, Just as there are fii^e-fighting units in every city. Fighting a grasshopper invasion without the help of the neighbors Is like trying to put out a fire In a powder factory with one bucket of water. In the Pacific states th? vast, mi* cultivated areas of mountains, foothills, and grasslands afford ideal breeding grounds for at least eight common species of grasshopper. Undisturbed, the pests can mass their forces in the spring and be ready for a descent upon the alfalfa fields and cultivated crops of the farmer when weather conditions permit. Tnere seems to be little hope of destroying the grasshoppers in these Isolated breeding areas and for that reason specialists of the bureau of entomology. United States Department of Agriculture, maintain that it will be many years before the grasshopper menace disappears from the West. But, while the eight plagues cannot be exter- HtHEKRY, me " ^ i r T f U )i • * ^ ^ ,^j WRY THEIR GOLD Natives of East India Have No U$e for Banks. A Grasshopper at Work. mlnated at their source, they can be met with a systematic, well-directed barrage of poisoned bait, fire, and other weapons for control when they attempt to invade the cultivated fields. Preparing for the Attack. Every locality should have an Organization fully equipped and prepared to meet the grasshopper onslaught. All preparations should be made early' in the spring before the Insects have left the^jr breeding grounds. The organization should be directed and controlled by efficient and energetic leaders, and it ought to have the co-operation and support tf every farmer in the community as well as the landowners who hold title to the remote areas from which the plague spreads. An equitable method of raising funds for the work can be arranged If every landholder Is taxed on the acreage he holds or operates. The funds should be collected and placed at the disposal of a good business man who Will knew how and where to go about buying poisons and other supplies when they are needed, without the necessity of untangling red tape. Sometimes It Is advantageous to fight the grasshopper army with fire, and it is often necessary to spread poisoned bait upon the property of nonresident landowners. Here are two points where legal advice is desirable, and the leaders should know their exact rights and limits in these matters before the time comes for them to act to save the crops of the community. If the district Is divided Into defense areas and each area pat under the supervision of a man who knows grasshopper habits and how to use the weapons which the organization has put In his hands, there will be no waste of materials or effort when the foothills disgorge their hungry hordes. Lastly, the wider the cooperation the better the results will be. It does no good to drive the hoppers from one district. If they are allowed to settle and feed upon another-- passing the pest along to the other fellow does not afford permanent relief, and it puts an extra hardship upon one's neighbor. The assault should be simultaneous throughout the whole Infested area; farm should cooperate with farm, village with village, and county with county, so that every leap that the hopper makes to escape the frying pan will land him In the fire, the specialists say. Eight 8pecies in West. There are at least etght species of grasshopper commonly found In the Pacific states. Some of these are winged, some are not; some prefer one variety of food, but altogether, when seasonal conditions are favor able, they can destroy any crop that western farmers grow. The habits and characteristics of each species are described in Farmers' Bulletin 1140, Grasshopper Control In the Pacific States, which may be had upon request of the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. In addition to a brief description of the pests, the bulletin gives the recipes for mixing the most efficient poisons, when to spread, and how to place the bait so as to avoid injury to live stock. Special control measures are required to meet different geographical conditions, and the publication presents the methods that have proved most effective after five years of experimentation. NUT TREES GOOD FOR SHADE CONTROL OF WHEAT DISEASE Japaneee Walnut Is Especially Ap» ' propriate for Farm and Door- Yard Planting. The Japanese walnut offers possibilities for landowners who are seeking to plant nut trees for shade or other purposes; say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. It Is nearly as hardy as the black walnut and is by no means uncommon In northern and eastern states, where it Is especially appropriate for farm and door-yard planting. For the present, seedling trees will have to be relied upon almost entirely, as very few budded or grafted trees are available. This nut has been confused with the Persian or so-called English walnut, although the two are quite unlike. The Japanese is a dwarfish species, with dull-green rough leaflets, often as many as 15 or 17 to the leaf, and bears nuts in racemes of a dozen or more. The shells are thinner than those of the black walritat, but thicker than those of the better Persian walnuts. The flavor of the kernels is much like that of the American butternut. GROWERS STUDY CONDITIONS lies Concluded on Satisfactory and Useful Experience Ob» tained in Market. <•, i : '.f£ i v'jiiifo'i!it!; Some cabbage growers accompanied their car-lot shipments to market the past season in order to secure firsthand knowledge of shipping conditions and marketing practices. As a result, not only were sales made on a fairly satisfactory basis from the standpoint of the producer, but the growers obtained considerable useful experience through observing the handling of the cabbage In the markets. They studied conditions affecting shipments en route and became better acquainted Kith the demands of the large whole Sale markets. The Information and experience obtained were of particular value to growers located in sections where cabbage had not been grown commercially in previous years. The plan was employed by growers having two or more cars ready for shipment at one time, and is a detail In the business of marketing farm products that experts of the bureau of ttarkets, United States Department of Agriculture, say might sometimes be employed profitably by producers of IMwr turn crop*. •>( * - _ , v ^ ' < 1's : * t • * / ^"•ks r ijs Farmers' Bulletin 1213 Tells Of Flag Smut Discovered in Illinois County in 1919. Methods for controlling flag smut, a destructive disease of wheat, are given in Farmers' Bulletin 1213, Ftng Smut of Wheat and Its Cpntrol, issued for free distribution by the United States Department of Agriculture. The disease was discovered in 1919 near Granite City, Madison county, III., and In 1920 was found In tU fields confined to 47 square miles. Black stripes running lengthwise in the leaves and leaf sheaths are typical of flag smut. Diseased plants are stunted and rarely head. The disease is spread by spores carried on the seed, and by spores left In the field on infected plant material or on the ground, where they may be scattered in various ways, and infect wheat seedlings in the fall. Treat with formaldehyde the in* fested grain as * it comes from the thrasher. Burn Infested straw. Sow disease-free seed on noninfested land. Treat ^ith copper sulphate and lime the seed wheat to be sown in the Infested area. 1 Grow resistant varieties.

VaSt Tveasmes Hidden and fee Secret Confided to Thoee Who Cannot . , , Divulge It. Doctor Vogel, a former superintendent of the archeoioglcal survey in India, has been telling us that the preservation of public monuments in India is largely dependent on public opinion. It Is due to the reverence and the religious spirit of the people that bo much has escaped destruction, he says. But this spirit of reverence Is responsible for more than the preservation of monuments; it is responsible for losses. Great treasures have vanished through fidelity and other qualities maintaining the secret of their hiding place. 'It is the habit today of natives of India to bury gold. Only the year 'before the war It was authoritatively stated that nearly all the gold dug from the earth in South Africa Is, by a fresh digging occupation, deposited again beneath the soil of India. That is what we may call a piecemeal operation; but tmaglne the operation conducted upon a wholesale scale ! Such things happened during the troublous days of war and conflict and raid which preceded British rule. A wealthy prince or merchant, fearing armed robbery, would deposit all. his gold and Jewels, not in his house or in a bunk, for houses and banks could be pillaged like a bazar; no, he concealed his riches in the earth. In caverns in the hills, among the haunts of tigers and poisonous snakes. The practice was to entrust the secret of the deposit only to the poorest and lowliest, and that for various reasons. In the first place, there was the belief In native fidelity; then there was the expectation that people so poor would not covet rich treasure, and would be suspected If they did try to dispose of It; and, finally, there was the knowledge that people of such humble caste would not be allowed to converse with people of higher caste to whom the hoarded wealth would be of worth. In this way the very outcasts of the people iwcame guardians of wealth untold, hidden by their fleeing lords, who, often enough, did not survive the broils and battles to return and declaim their burled property. The late Sir Maurice Gerard, who spent many years In India and Investigated the subject, declared that enormous treasures are buried In some of the old Indian hill forts. The guardians are dead and the secret Is dead with them. Sir Maurice himself knew of places to which treasure traditions cling. One fastnass In the Goona district was that in which, during the Malirattu warfare days, the entire population of three villages, hiding with their possessions in a hill cave, were betrayed to enemies by the barking of dogs. Refusing to surrender, the refugees were smoked to death by fires lighted at the entrance to their retreat. No native dare enter now for fear of the .demons which are believed to baant the place. Several English dogs ware once sent in to bunt through the enchanted cave. All disappeared. Several days later the smallest of the lot, a terrier, came out starving. The others had perished, but it Is supposed that this one, falling down a fissure, had found Its way to a jackal's home and scrttched its way out to liberty. Not Exactly. Asnt Jane, who was a spinster, came to visit her sister and family of four children. And from the very first auntie was very much given to offering advice to her sister on the way to feed, dress and treat her children generally. The sister listened in perfect good humor, but not so Sally, her efficient helper. And frankly, Sally said so. "Look here, Miss Jane," she began, "what do old maids like you and me know about raisin' children? We hain't never had none and a person has to have children to know how to raise them." Aunt Jane smiled a tolerant smile. "Oh, not always, Sally," she returned. "Now, take those little chickens out there. Don't you think you know more than their mother? You feed--" But Sally interrupted her. "Yas, ma'am, I feed them. If that's what you mean.

Kreider tells this story: A woman went Into a restaurant and ordered a plate of Ice cream, and when she came to pay. she had a check for 15 cents and 2 cents was added to it. She asked: "What does that 2 cents mean?" "Well," she was tbld, "15 cents foa your ice cream and 2 cents luxury tax." She paid It, and then she walked across the street to the drug story and asked for a corn plaster, and she got a check for 10 cents, and 1 cent added. She said: "What Is the 1 ^ent for?" "That is the luxury tax." "Well," she said, "this is the first time I ever knew that corns were a luxury." Now that Is the way It goes.
