One day I bought s box of Beecham's Pills. One dost was a life saver* to me. Since then I hava It is a good sign when the ultrafashionables in the social world declare for types of dress that suggest simplicity and comfort. The desirable change has been more and more apparent in the styles of recent seasons, .n town and at the country resorts, writes a fashion correspondent In the New York Time*. This !s not quite the same Idea that appeared to overthrow the order of things according to conventions applied to dress a few, really only two, seasons ago. That was when the undress modes, the outre and undefined were taken op by the fashionables, whose example was followed tQ monotony by inauy who failed to qhaJlfy In a proper uense of proportion. The results were less than happy and our standards suffered, but only for a little while. Gradually and definitely • proper adjustment has appeared In Ideas molded by their creators into models of artistic value and Intriguing charm Such models have brought into harmony many old styles, reflecting the Ideas of other days and tin taste of the leaders of fashion today. Logically, the sports type of dress ti most important in the wardrobe of • smartly gowned woman, and both the couturiers of Paris arid the American designers have put fielr best efforts this season Into sports clothes de luxe. The phases are many and Interesting. There are the out-anJoot game things, the two-piece suits consisting of a skirt, plaited or plain, with a sweater or overblouse and Jacket; the one-piece knitted frock or one of light woolen, crepe or tub silk, or even of the new printed cotton, and the ensemble, translated Into sports terms. Such are the things In which the women who go to winter resorts spend the greater part of the day. For with this new conviction, sports dress. If it be chic and becoming, answers more social requirements and for longer hours than ever before. Materials for 8ports Dresses. Because fashion leaders go from tennis court and golf links to luncheon, to lea, and then to dance in the ^-apping.i they put on early In the day, these things are being made In more attractive styles and colors than heretofore. The most lovely shades are now used Instead of the sturdy homespun and homely colors that have always been associated with dress that had to do with sports. Now the tallleur and trotteur suits are made in madonna blue, turquoise, periwinkle or crow blue; in hydrangea, rose beige, cyclamen, shell pink and salmon; In crabapple, "Jockey," diane, torch, pamela, blond, daffodil, arcadla, pimento, green atfd, more than ever before, in white. Usually sports dress, however It may be elaborated, is thought best to be doo? in cloth, that is to say, In the lightweight woolens, flannels, broadcloths and their tin de slecle translations. But silk in some form, or crepe, Is the fabric-of the day, and the sports suit that is not cut from zephyr-weight wool is done in crepe de chine, flat crepe or any of the others in the crepe family, or in tub silk. The -ribbed silks,.heavy and less heavy, are popular this senson. and some of the smartest fmcks, suits, wraps and ensembles designed by both French and American artists are shown in ribbed silk. These silks are known as bengaline, bengailne radiant and frost crepe. anJ they are, with their engaging titles, for the most part the result of American Ingenuity and artistic talent. The costumes with which they are loilt are attractive examples of smart simplicity. Elimination 1? the *lnnn 'of most designers of importance, and in this the Parisian artists are doing some aggressively stylish things^, Chanel has designed some rather un* usual models, one. for example. In yel* low and brown, the frock proper toeing knitted, and trimmed with bias folds, collars and cuffs of crepe de chine.

Renee has fashioned some unusually chic outing suits of crepe, one quits lovely in coral crepe, another all white. These are In the ensemble manner that serves as well for town or country. For Formal Wear. For the women who still prefer something of formality In afternoon dress there are the printed silks, crepes and chiffons. The vogue of printed materials has evolved a bewildering variety in patterns with names new, and, to the layman, technical In sound. Some are designated tolle de sole, Cinderella, cobe centaur, cobe dolphin, cote trlton. drapaca. And there are crepe roman, mirror crepe, satin crepe and crepe faille. Again, there is the familiar navy and periwinkle, crow blue, bluet, midnight, bison, pewter, Truro, Ivory, lagoon, catrail, Yucatan, Java, amber, mocha, middy, peppermint. Black, white and beige alternate with cordovan. foliage, caramel, mist, rose beige, tango and shell pink, and flat crepes may be had in pearl, beryl, grege, maple, ecru, gloria and sponge. Some of the names evolved from the inner artistic .consciousness of an American manufacturer describe the fabrics to which they are attached, or have at least some relation thereto. But with others one's guess Is as good as another's, and the one point established Is that of novelty.

This model is so pretty thst It Is certain to be reproduced in many variants for early summe^. (Prtftrtd by the United State* Department •f Agriculture.) Methods by which certain 100-acre farmers in central Indiana made satisfactory returns, even during the depression period, are compared with the methods used by less successful farmers in the same area In a study Just completed by the United States Department of Agriculture. In tills Investigation the business records of 400 Indiana farms, covering the period ftam 1010 to 1922, were studied. How the successful farmers obtained their results la discussed by the In vestlgators in detail. On the most successful farms there was iess variation In cropping systems than on other farms. Thus the four most profitable farms had a yearly variation of only 14 per cent in their corn acreage, Compared to 21 per cent on the four least successful farms. Variations In other crop acreages likewise were smaller OD the most profitable farms. It was also found that the most successful farms usually had as many fields of equal sise as there were years In the crop rotation followed, or else they had fields that could be combined tn such a way as to divide the crop acreage Into as many equal parts as there were years In the crop rotation. In other words, the best farms had the most scientific layouts. Live Stock a Factor^ It was shown too that while high crop yields alone do not Insure a good farm Income, the yields on the successful farms averaged higher than on the unsuccessful farms, in the case of corn the average yield on the four best farms was 50 bushels an acre, compared with 44 on the four least suM-essful farms. Similar proportions held for the other crops, in general the men obtaining the best yields -Ijept considerable Uve stock, used commercial fertilizer, drulned land and limed the soil when necessary, i&ed good seed of varieties adapted to local conditions and treated their seed to prevent diseases, and followed good methods of cultivation. No one thing had a greater Influence on comparative profits tflan the live stock returns per head. On the four most successful Clinton county farms the yield of butterfat per cow was 100 pounds, compared with 93 pounds on the four least successful farms. The best farms had one calf per cow every 14 months, compared to one every 15 months on the least successful farms. Other comparisons In favor of the most successful farms were: 8.9 per cent pigs per sow per year, compared with 6.0; 6.3 eggs per hen per yeur, compared with 5.8; and 1.8 chickens, compared to 1.2. One of the four most profitable farms had enough live stock to consume 1.251 bushels of purchased corn per year in addition to 2,400 bushels grown on the farm. On the four most successful farms the average amount of corn consumed was 2,762 bushels compared with 2,015 bushels on the four least successful farms.. Protein Deficiency. Another important practice which showed profitable results on the most successful furms was the purchase of tankage for hog8. Operators of these farms recognized that most farm feeds are deficient In protein. They consequently supplemented homegrown feeds with purchased protein concentrates. During the eight years the four most successful Clinton county farms purchased an average of 1.400 pounds of tankage per year, a* compared to less thun 100 pounds purchased by the least successful farmers. The most successful farmers also purchased 3,308 pounds of mill feed s year, compared to 510 pounds parchased by the least successful farmers. Poultry contributed average Bales of $223 a year, besides averaging $86 worth of eggs and meat for the home table on the four most successful farms In the county. These farms also had sales of dairy products averaging $209 a year. Iu general It was noted that the most successful farms were better equipped with machinery than the least successful farms, although it was recognized that a 100-acre farm may easily be overequipped. r , It was found that tne best 10 per cent of the 400 farms Investigated yielded an average yearly Income, from 1910 to 1922, sufficient to cover 5 per cent Interest on their capital nnd $1,465 for labor and management, and In addition an Important share of the milk, meat, poultry, eggs, vegetables. fruit and fuel consumed In the farm homes. Supplies thus obtained with the saving made ,ou house rent, added an average of $005'a year to the farm Income. Farm receipts on the four most successful out of 17 farms Averaged $5,- 265, or a return of 7.2 per cent on the capital Invested, cotupa.ed with recelpts- from the four least successful farms In this group averaging only $2,961. of an Investment return of 4.5 per cent. While a furmer here and there made good profits during the worst period of the depression, others failed to earn a reasonable profit and a fair wage for their labor even in the war boom years. Most of the 160- acre farmers did well during the prosperous period from 1916 to 1919. But in the period from 1910 to 1915 only about half of them succeeded in maknig 5 per cent on their capital and a wage of $300 for their labor In addition to the family living from tits farm.

The awful misery Good Plan for Heading Back Young Apple Tree Young apple trees should he headed back to about 20 to 90 Inches from the ground. If it Is a one-year-old tree then all that Is necessary Is to cut off the top the desired height. If It is a two-year-old tree then the central leader should be removed and from three to five lateral branches retained, these being cut back to about 8 to 10 Inches In each case the lateral branches should be cut to an outside bud. In order to cause the tree to spread properly. After the tree has passed Its third year about all that Is necessary is to take out Interfering branches and keep the tree from becoming too dense. If the tendency Is for the tree to produce long slender branches, then these should be shortened In the same way that peach limbs are shortened In, until the tree begins to fruit, after which time little pruning will be necessary with the exception of thinning out the Interfering branches. Shady Garden Places A shady parflen places a vegetable grower under a considerable handicap. If the shade Is furnished by deciduous treesriie may grow the early spring vegetables, such as lettuce, radishes, young onions and spinach, with a fnlr degree of success, because they will have attained much of their growth before the trees have leaved out sufficiently to shut out .^he sun. Lettuce will be grateful for protection from the hot days which occasionally come In late spring.

Those who follow the fashion or closely study the styles as they sre introduced must at times become a bit weary of the constant reiteration of the vogue of simplicity. Yet. unless one sdheres to the rule of simplicity one cannot be counted among the number of those women who by their elimination oi nonessentials prove their fashion sense and wisdom. Chic is a quality somewhat difficult ! to define In words, but is recognized | instantly, and this year the line that ! distinguishes true smartness from mediocrity Is very narrow indeed. To a certain extent the mode Is standardized but distinction and Individuality are achieved by carefully thought out details and by a successful adaptation of the prevailing mode to one's own personality. In almost every case the daytime fashions show s sport Influence. Not that they are actually sport costumes, but^ their casual chic is s result of the convenience and comfort 4f sport fashion* Added Bo thls Is the cbsrm of color snd the distinction of beautiful fabrics.

(Preparad br the United state* Department ef Agriculture.) Many failures of pioneer fsrmere In the drier sections of the western section of the United States were due to the attempt to grow unadapted crops, says the United States Department of Agriculture, In discussing its varietal experiments with hard red winter wheats in the dry areas of the western United States. The Introduction of hard red winter wheat Into certain of these localities which bad been abandoned by the earliest settlers later made possible a i»ermanent wheat-growing industry. Hard red winter wheut is pow the principal crop In many sections of limited rainfall, including much of Kansus and Nebraska, western Oklahoma, northeastern Colorado, central Montana, and tbe drier portions of the Columbia basin of Oregon and Washington. Kanred, In general, was the most productive hard red winter wheat for tbe Great Plains area. Other highyielding strains sre Alberta Red, Argentine, Belogllna, Blacahull, Karmont, Montana No. 36, and Nebraska No. 00. Turkey and Kharkof, the two leading bard red winter wheats, were found to be practically equal in yield, * Inter hardiness, and other agronomic characters and In milling and baking qualities. Mlnturkl and Karmont are among the most hardy and Kanred is the most rust-resistant of tbe hsrd re# winter varieties. The results of vsrletal experiments with winter wheat st 15 different 8ta»' tions form the basis of a new publication just Issued as department bulletin 1276.
