Belvidere. -- Boone and adjoining northern Illinois counties will produce a record crop of cheijies, orchard owners declare. The trees never before were so heavily fruited, and conditions have been ideal for development of the crop. Harvey.--WIViam H. Miller, president of the Harvey National bank, who died two weeks ago, left a will which directed that a certain sum be used by the city of Harvey to provide "a comfortable home for amusement purposes and physical training, tui the «n of the working people.^' - t.i • . •' V- 't* ^ ' ! b W r -- t k i ' explanation of ultra spring fashions In detail--then comes the mental question for the average woman: "Now what shall I have for myself from among all this melee of smartness? How, In one or two costumes, which Is what my budget allows tne, can I march among the best dressed of the land?" It Is all very well to consider style and its contributing fine points. Every normal woman takes a certain satisfaction in that sort of mental gymnastics, but how to assimilate the length of this and the width of that with your own particular figure and the restrictions of your purse--oh, that is another matter, indeed I It has often been said, observes a fashion writer in the New York Times, that the women with one frock can be as well dressed as the woman with ten. And it is astonishing how really well this theory works out when the woman with one has the head and the taste and the common sense to manage hers with cleverness. She is no boon to the dressmakers of the land, but she Is a deal of satisfaction to herself. She has eliminated a woman's greatest source of worry and annoyance. At this time of the year It Is perfectly possible to apply one's mind so thoroughly and successfully to the matter of clothes that for the next six months one's Intelligence need not touch the subject seriously again. Plaunlng goes a longer way with clothes thau women generally suppose, and the visualization of the coming season's wardrobe Is something that brings infinite reward to the planner. It is this buying at random which earns for women that horrid reputation of being spendthrifts In the matter -of their dressing. It Is hard not to be emotional when a really pretty thing strikes one's eyes. But whether that thing Is going to serve enough purpose to pay for its investment Is a detail which so few women stop to consider. Then, again, they think and think, and nothing comes of their efforts because their education In this field of style practically applied Is so very efficient. The Dress for Every Occasion. It can he done, you know. A dress that will be possible for the majority of occasions in the usual life Is not at all hard to conceive nor to accomplish. The flappers are getting there with sport suits. They wear them everywhere. They seem to think there Is no party too formal to set them off. Now, for those who are a little more mature, the nonchalance of this procedure is Impossible, but they can accomplish the same purpose in another way. A serge dress does wonders In this direction. It can perform so many duties. It can enter so many classes of a social or a business day if it Is designed with any care and knowledge of the many positions which a frock of its sort may be called upon to fill. Then there Is the more or less formal dress of heavy silk. It Is an extremely fashionable form of dressing, and, when It Is made simply enough, It can serve a vast number of purposes without being changed or adjusted In any way. A plain black crepe dress smartly cut and put together is one of the most purposeful things that a woman can purchase this season. It is without doubt the best style of any of the dresses, and It carries on beautifully from occasion to occasion. A dress of tills character can be donned at nine o'clock in the morning. It can live through business and lunch and tea. Then, when dinner time arrives, it is just as appropriate for that more for* mal gathering. A woman who rather carried the reputation of being well dressed was EFFORTS BEING MADE TO PREVENT SPREAD OF EUROPEAN CORN BORER iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii^HiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiHinimiiuininiMinHitiiiiiiii free from large weeds or lnrgr stemmed . , ' j - : V scheduled for a dinner and theater. A friend called her up In the morning of the dinner day and asked the ageold question "What are you going to wear?" The first woman thought a moment, dragged her mind back from her portentious business in hand and said: "Why, oh, yes, I am going to wear the dress. It has come to this In my life. I paid a lot of money for It once, bnt It has solved the question of clothes in my life." Colors Rich, Dark, Durable. Ton may not believe that these silks wear as well as the serges and more heavy cloths to which your dressing minds have become accustomed. But you have only to eramlne the newer and more sturdily woven silks to be convinced that manners and customs In this direction have changed very materially. They have every appearance of the lighter woolen fabrics-- that is, In stability of texture and in worthiness to be called wearable and formal clothes. Their colon are rich (Fr»p*r«d by th« United Stitn Department Of Agriculture.) Special efforts to prevent tfife European corn borer from spreading to the corn belt, which It now threatens to do from the southern shore of Lake Erie, will be made this season by the United States Department of Agriculture. The most Important single measure will be the rigid enforcement of federal quarantine regulations by the federal horticultural board of the department. In co-operation with the Canadian government and the various states where the pest now exists. This will prevent other Infestations of the Insect from coming into the United States and will go a long way toward keeping the borer from being carried to other parts of the country. The burean of entomology of the department has prepared Its plans for Investigating the Insect, which was discovered in this country during 1917, with a view to applying and amplifying methods of controlling It. The slight infestations along the lake shore, it Is believed, will not cause serious lnjary to corn there immediately, giving ample time for a careful study of the insect and its behavior In this new environment before actual commercial damage is done. For this purpose the bureau will establish immediately a number of entomologists at Sandusky, Ohio. May Have Come From Canada. The infestation on Lake Erie, It Is believed, originated In the province of Ontario, Canada, where a severe infestation has been present for several years. Favorable winds during the Sight season of the moth In the summer of 1921 are supposed to have compelled the adult insects to fly across the lake to the American side, where they became established along grasses. 8. Cut corn dose to the ground. 4. Cut and remove sweet corn fodder from the field as soon as the ears are harvested. Feed direct to live stock or place In silo. 5. Cut and remove field corn from the field as soon as the ear# are mature. Feed the stalks to live stock as soon as possible and bnrn or otherwise dispose of the uneaten parts before May 1 following. Shred or <*it the fodder to Increase Its consumption. 6. Plow under thoroughly, In the fall, all Infested cornstalks, corn stub* ble, other crop remnants, weeds and similar material which it Is Impractical to destroy In any other manner. When necessary to adopt this practice an attempt should be made to plow under all the material to a depth of at least 6 Inches. 7. Plant small areas of early sweet corn to act as a trap crop, adjacent to fields intended for field corn or late sweet corn. Feed, or otherwise destroy, this early eweet corn, as soon as the ears are harvested, or preferably Just before that period, if the grower is willing to sacrifice the ears. Such plantings, where not destroyed at the proper time, constitute a menace to later corn. 8. Limit the size of cornfields to areas that can be kept free of weeds. 9. Do not plant corn within 60 feet of beets, beans, celery, spinach, rhubarb, or flowering plants Intended for sale. 10. Do not throw the uneaten ports of cornstalks used as feed or bedding into the manure pile unless this material Is worked Into piles containing enough fresh horse manure to produce heating. 11. Do not transport outside of the infested area, any of the plants, or rf L4KVAC PAJ*£ ADULTS HALE 11 H ttMAtfc The Material of the Frock Is Black Crepe de Chine, but the Style Is Achieved With the Trimming of Chinese Hed and Gold, Which Adds Beauty. and dark and durable. In fact they suit the building of the all-around dress most admirably. Then, if you wish a coat to make the a] dress more suitable for certain of the ^ day's occasions, by all means have that wrap made from the same silk that constitutes the dress. Thesfe costumes that can be worn together or separately ate one of the nicest things that the season has given us. A black crepe dress msde over extremely simple lines Is cleverly trimmed with quite sn original touch of decoration. The bands about the sleeves and neck, touched here and there on the hips and at the waist line, are'made of vermilion crepe and are outlined with narrow traceries of gold braid. It Is a trimming trick that is quite easy to bring through, and It Is just as effective as many other trimmings over which a deal more labor and time and energy might have been spent. Supposedly, the cape to go with this dress would be of the same crepe, with a lining of the same, bound around the edges and seams with somewhat narrower strips of the same vermilion and gold trimming combination. WORK &F LAttVK IN INTERIOR OF CORN* JTALK' ibrtpun Corn Borer^ln Various tagsa' and ttt Weelc Topcoat b a Permanent Fixture There comes Into every dressing calculation the question of the topcoat, for that Is a necessary contribution to the whole. It must be at hand for rainy and stormy and coollsh days. It must be ready for motoring and trips to the country, but once It has been chosen and added to one's wardrobe it then becomes a permanent fixture for some years to come. If you should need one of the outer coverings this season, then the choice Is wide and varied. Tou are not confined to any one particular style. Tou can suit your figure and your taste In the most thrilling way. If you like capes, then you can have a cape and be In the height of style. But, be sure that your figure Is thin enough and with enough height to carry off the lines of a cape. On the other hand, if a coat Is more becoming to your style of beauty, then you can have a tailored polo coat and flatter yourself that you are thoroughly ranked In fashionable circles. If neither of these designs meets with your approval, then you can choose one of the very latest models from almost the entire southern shore. Recrds of the weather bureau Indicate that for the first time In five or six years the winds prevailing then blew from the north or northwest for several days at a time. It is not thought, therefore, that this condition will prevail again for several years, and other moths be blown over. In order to watch this phase of the matter, however, the bureau of entomology will request permission of the lighthouse service to station observers during the flight season at the powerful lights maintained along the southern shore. They will ascertain, If possible, whether moths are attracted to the lights from the other side. The federal quarantine Includes 144 cities and towns in Massachusetts, three in Mlchjjcan, 12 In New Hampshire, 115 In New York, 42 in Ohio, and 13 in Pennsylvania, and prohibits the shipment of corn and broom corn, including all parts of the stalk, cut flowers or entire plants of chrysanthemum, aster, cosmos, zinnia, hollyhock, fmd cut flowers or entire plants of (gladiolus and dahlia, except the bulbs, jto other states throughout tlie year.

The capes are easy to make. If you are at all apt with tbe needle you can do one yourself. The 8ports Costume. The time has come In the history of women when sport clothes are so much more Important than they have ever been before. And perhaps that Is hecause the evolution thtough which they have passed makes them so much more beautiful than ever they were before. Gray Tweeds and Felt Hats. Woolen sport suits of gray tweeds are worn on the city streets these days, and with neutral felt hats and wool scarfs appear not (inappropriate. Black Stockings Right. In tbe places where smart wome® gather, one finds that after the noon hour, colored stockings are scarcely worn. Black Is the color for afternoon and evening wear. WARDROBE ACCESSORIES NEEDED Embellishmente Play an Important Part in the Wardrobe of All Well Dressed Women. Dress accessories play an Increasingly important part every season In a well dressed woman's wardrobe. The simplest suit or dress may be made smart and distinctive if the right accessories sre worn with It, and certainly very charming things are available this spring. Any of these sets may be purchased 'In the shops, or they may be made at home with comparatively trifling expenditure of time and money. A very smart vestee with cuffs to match is of finely Corded white pique embroidered In white or color, a large ornamental pearl button serving as a fastening as well as trimming for vest and cuffs. This set would be smart wfth a dark tailored suit or with a frock of the redlngote type. Another e:.r 'ly made set consists of puritan collar and novel cuffs of bear? Inn, finished wtfft a band of colored ratine and polka dot embroidery In color. These little round collars are distinctly smart If they frame faces that are youthful, but the line Is a trying one for a woman whose first youth Is gone. A very tailored collar and cuff set might be made of linen, pique or ratine, bound with a lighter weight material in contrasting color, and having a touch of colored embroidery. Such a set might be made of organdie, if preferred, with binding of colored linen or self fabric, .and colored embroidery. Of course fluffy, fr!Tly neckwear, vestee s, gulmpes, etc., are shown, but the rather tailored effects seem to be holding first place at the present time. Gingham and cretonne are playing quite a role In spring and summer neckwear development?' Linens also are to the fore.

The prohibition applies to corn and broom corn, including all parts of the stalk, all sorghums and sudan grass from Infested areas in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan throughout the year. No restrictions are placed on the Interstate movement of clean shelled corn and clean seed of broom corn. Control Practices Recommended. To control the corn borer on the farm, the department recommends tbe following practices: 1. Burn, or otherwise destroy, before May 1 of each year, all cornstalks, corn cobs, corn stubble, vegetable, field and flower crop remnants, weeds and large-stemmed grasses of the previous year. 2. Keep cultivated fields, fence rows, field borders, roadsides and such places plant products, listed in Federal Quarantine No. 43. 12. Do not transport any living stages of the European corn-borer outside of the infested areas. 13. Do not place in swill container any sweet corn ears or portions thereof or discarded portions of celery, beets, beans, rhubarb, and spinach when this material is suspected of containing the borer. 14. Do not dump cornstalks, or other plant refuse from the vegetable and flower garden on public dumps nor on the edge or flood level of brooks, rivers, and other bodies of water. 16. Do not attempt to circumvent the Quarantine regulations. The penalty is severe. 16. Do not mix products grown within the Infested area with those grown outside the infested area. 17. Do not label packages containing flowers or other products with misleading statements of contents. 18. Do not pack produce In boxes or other containers until all old tags and permits have been removed. 19. Do not feel angry If products are confiscated at border lines for violation of quarantine regulations. Su« n action is the most lenient that may t>e taken aadsr thoJaw, OVERCOME PUNT DISEASES Practical Plan to Allow Land to Re- . main !4le or Use Crop Immune to Ailment. There are several diseases of vegetables which live over In the garden soil from one year to the next, and if the same crop Is planted In the same soli year after year it will be but a short time until the crop will prove a loss. These are mostly fungous and bacterial diseases and the only practical way to overcome them is to allow the land to lie idle for two or three years or to plant a crop which Is immune to tbe disease. MOLESKINS SOLD THROUGH POOLS Boys and Girls Have Formed Clubs for Trapping. Taught Approved Methods by Extension Workers and Representatives ef Biological 8urv«y--Prises : for Gophers. '•?/ ** Moleskins, which brought TTttle or nothing in the ordinary fur markets, have been successfully pooled and sold in Washington and Oregon through farm bureau organizations. Boys and girls In many communities have formed clubs for trapping moles. Through the co-operative work of the extension agents and representatives of the biological survey of the United States Department of Agriculture, they have been taught approved methods of trapping and skinning the moles. Two hundred and twenty mole pelts were sold in Benton county. Ore., for boy and girl trappers. Linn county. Ore., reports thre^ communities which offered 10 cents eu ' for moles anu pocket gophers and an additional prize far the |hre« children killing the most pests. One community reports 88 moles killed In this way. • Tillamook county, Ore., was divided Into four districts, and $50 purses were allotted to each district for first second, and third prizes. The county paid a 5-cent bounty on both molee and pocket gophers. Tbe moleskins were stored In the county agents office until a salable amount was collected. They were then sold to the highest bidder. All money received for the skins was returned to the trappers. WATER FOR EGG PRODUCTION Importance of Liberal QuantJtlee ef Freeh Clean Water Carmet Be Overestimated. liany flocks of hens have leas than one-half of tbe amount of water they need for body maitenance and egg production. When It Is known that one dozen medium-sized eggs contain about a plnt of water and that 55 per cent of the body weight Is water th« importance of liberal quantities ef fresh clean water cannot be overestimated.
