Because Italian red clover is not sufficiently' resistant to cold weather* and is particularly susceptible to disease, Dr. A. J. Pleters and Mr. Edgar Brown of the United States Department of Agriculture, addressing the meeting of the Wholesale Grass Seed Dealers at Chicago, recommended that no red clover seed of Italian origin be Imported and that In certain sections where the winters are severe, no foreign- grown red clover seed be used. Observations and careful tests made In many parts of the country by the deiJIrtuient and state experiment stations have provided ample proof that these recommendations are justified. Wherever Italian red clover seed has been tried, with the exception of the Pacific Northwest, the result has been low yields or. total failures in most cases, and when unusually favorable conditions produced a fairly satisfactory first crop there was little second growth. Where winter conditions are not 'so severe or where the snow covering has afforded protection against the cold the other foreign red clover has done fairly well, and because the supply of home-grown seed is not sufficient It Is necessary to BSe It Yields Compared. Actual tests at a number of stations •how how seed from various sources produces in the United States. At Ashland, Wis., red clover from Chile produced a first cutting of 3.77 tdns per acre; French seed produced 2.9 tons; Bohemian, 3.2 tons; and homegrown seed from Idaho, Tennessee. Wisconsin, Ohio and Oregon averaged 2.83 tons. Here the heavy snows' covering reduced the effect of the severe winter. At Spooner, Wis., where conditions were more severe last year, the Chilean seed produced 1.94 tons; the French, 1.94; Bohemian, 1.97, and United States seed 2.19'tons per acre. At Marshfleld, Wis., the yields of all lots were less, Chilean producing 1.6 tons, French 1.5, Bohemian 1.4 and United States 1.6 tons. At East Lansing, MIcli., the Michigan seed produced 2.46 tons, other United States seed yielded 2.18; Chilean produced 2.52 tons; French 2.25, and Bohemian 1.94 tons. The clover grown from Michigan seed made/a stronger sfeed growth than any of the others, although the European, with the exception of the Italian, did very well. At College Park, Md., Chilegn seed made 2.82 tons; seed from Ohio produced 2.94 tons; French seed 2.46; Bohemian 2.08; Maryland seed 2.42; and Tennessee 2.22. At Blacksburg, Va., Chilean seed produceh 1.57 tons; French 1.35; Bohemian 1.19; and a number of lots from different parts of the United States averaged 1.59 tons. At the State college, Pennsylvania, the foreign clovers, except the Italian, outyielded that grown from American seed, but whether or not this was due to some unusual circumstance #has not yet been determined. Results have shown that In most cases American red clover seed Is more satisfactory than foreign-grown seed, ' but the crop grown here Is Insufficient to meet the demfind. An average annual Importation of 10,000,000 pounds is needed to make up the deficiency of red and alslke seed. If all foreign seed were, poor the department would not recommend Its Importation even in the face of the great shortage, but tests have shown that certain strains do well here In certain sections where the weather ft not too severe. There is great need to Increase the production of clover seed In this country. Much Seed Imported. It was brought out before the seed dealers that between July 1, 1923, and January 15, 1924, more than 6,700,000 pounds of red clover seed had been Imported,, and that nearly 300,000 pounds of it had been brought from Italy. In addition, about 200,000 of the seed shipped from other parts of about 8 per cent of the imported red j j, stressed as the most important, clover seed is of the kind which will not produce a satisfactory crop except, possibly. In the Pacific Northwest. The seed lmDortatlon act administered by the Department of Agriculture, makes certain requirements as to purity, presence of weed seeds and vitality, but these requirements do not make it possible to bar this seed which is germinable enough and clean enough, but not adapted to our conditions. The representatives of the department called the attention of the seed dealers to the prevalence of anthracnose disease of red clover, which Is sometimes severe from Washington, D. C., to Tennessee and northern Alabama. It affects the second crop of all clovers, 'foreign and domestic, and even the first crop may be destroyed. There are resistant strains and It is Important that they be developed and the seed put on the commercial market. At presept most of our northerngrown domestic seed Is as liable to this disease as the Imported strains with the exception of the Italian, which Is the most susceptible. At present the only protection for the farmer is to insist on information as to the source of the red clover seed offered for sale and In buying only from reliable firms and organizations. says a fashion writer in the New York Herald. Already the makers nre complaining that it will be overdone, that the afternoon clothes for older women and the evening gowns are being neg-. lected. It is too much copied ".nd exploited, they say, to long endure. This may In a measure he true, but the unobtrusiveness of the dark colors used will be a factor in preserving its popularity and usefulness, and sometimes after a flare of overpopularlty a mode settles down Into being an accepted fact, and a simple mode has many more chances of survival than the more extreme types copied for the sake of novelty. A tailored dress made to order Is a thing so difficult of Imitation that there Is not much chance of it being duplicated to any great extent There are as many ways to adapt It to the individuality of the wearer as therer would be If It were an afternoon dress and no one advocates abolishing themr because they have become weaHsomei In the first place the silhouette of the tailored dress Is very much diver-; si fled by the addition of circular^ flounces at the front or all the wajji around, by plaits and by panels of all' descriptions, by being pinched In at one side or at both and by hanging If Italian seed Is sold as domestic or ! straight In tunic fashion. Sleeves also may be done, both to the farmers and the seed trade. Alfalfa Hay Tends to Insure Strong Litters Alfalfa hay fed to sows during the winter months tends to Insure healthy litters of pigs. Alfalfa is rich In protein and minerals and furnishes these elements at low cost. There are three ways In which It can be fed: Let the sows eat It from the stack, feed It In a suitable rack, or add about five or ten pounds of chopped alfalfa or alfalfa leaves to 100 pounds of a grain mixture. The leaves can be gathered up from the barn floor where the hay Is pitched from the mow. Some suggested rations suitable for a 250-pound sow are as follows; Alfalfa hay, five or six 'ears of corn, one-fourth pound of tankage; alfalfa hay', two or three pounds of corn; alfalfa hay, three or four pounds of grain, one gallon of skim milk. For young gilts the proportion of tankage to corn or grain may be Increased. possible to have In the daytime, from |he ultra-smart long tight-Qttlng ones ivith sharp-pointed cuffs to dresses almost without sleeves. 8lmple Drass Most Successful. Philippe et Oaston has been very successful this season with unusually simple dresses. Jn them the long, narrow belted waistline Is used and the long, fairly tight sleeve. In one dress the main feature of the decoration consists of Insets of the rep running In contrary Ion to the rest of around the edges.

DUTCH PROCESS COCOA AMERICAN PROCESS COCOA Whole Milk Superior for Fattening Young Calves <•* There is nothing quite equal to whole milk for fattening young calves. This practice provides veal of the highest quality. If one cow does not supply enough milk to give the calf all that It will consume, then two nurse cows may be provided. Make sure that the calf Is confined In a box stall heavily bedded and darkened. This will prompt him to lie down a greater part of the time, and It Is Inactivity of the muscles, coupled with lots of milk, that makes veal of the best quality. Comfortable Pig Gains A fall pig that weighs 150 ponnds along In February that is eating a pound and a half a day out In the open, will just about hold his own in weight. The Same pig, In. a warm, sheltered place, that is stimulated thereby to eat six pounds of feed, will make about a pound and a half gain per day. In the former case the pound and a half of feed, productively speaking. Is lost because no gain Is made froi^ It; In the latter case the six pounds produces a pound hnd a half gain. ^Standard-Breds Favored Keep nothing" but standard-bred, uniform birds, preferably all of one breed and variety. Mixed flock* are not usually satisfactory; scrubs or mongrels are unworthy of attention. And, If possible, use birds of a bredto- la.v strain and so get Immediate benefit of the years of work on the part of some careful breeder.

C., sold 5,441 pounds of poultry and 10,388 dozen eggs during 1923, as compared with 600 pounds of market poultry and 1,009 dozen eggs In 1920. This large increase in three years was accomplished, on the part of extension workers co-operatively directed by the United States Department of Agriculture and the state agricultural colleges, by constantly emphasizing the value of pure bred poultry and of the need of grading all products. The home demonstration agent rendered all possible assistance in the marketing of these products, but the good results are attributed largely *to the fact that at every meeting held, no matter what subject was discussed, poultry was advised as a means of increasing the home Income. Out of 138 women enrolled In home demonstration work, 70 Improved their flocks by the purchase of standard-bred cockerels or baby chicks. In addition to selling poultry. 3,-. 837 pounds of butter and fresh vegetables, amounting to $2,368.50, were sold In the county. The money earned by the women in these ways was divided into three portions. One part was laid away for a rainy day, one part was spent in supplying special needs of the children or for food or clothing, and the third part was spent for home improjvvee ments. Among these Improvements, 23 houses were remodeled by having additions, new floors, or new lighting systems. Eleven women bought gasoline irons, two made wheel trays, and four bought kitchen cabinets; 15 planted fruit trees and 138 planted local trees and shrnbs to beautify the home grounds.

A long, very narrow vest Is ofjvhlte tucked material, with collar to match. With this simple dress, quite complete In itself, Is a straight jacket with bands of crosswise material running the length of the fronts. The inset vest Is a marked characteristic of the tailored mode from this house, for it again appears in ... model of dark blue rep with vest of white AUk embroidered in severe points nil Two Small Plaits at the Sides Give the 8llght Pinched-ln Effect In This 8ult. to be merely a matter of comparison. In many of Its latest manifestations it cannot be called straight and still make use of the circular flounce without varying In some degree. This Is a form of the tailored or simple day dress that Drecoll makes use of In a Successful model which has for Its chief decoration Insets of finely plaited material. The color scheme of this dress Is dark blue trimmed with red. From the bateau neck line straight ^ucks extend well below the hip line, where & square section Is outlined with a narrow band of the tucks, the square having the effect of a large patch pocket. At a line just above the knees the circular flounce is set on. In this dress It is used at the back as well as in the front. Narrow bands of the material constitute the sleeves, the tucking running the up-and-down way pf the sleeves. > Buttons on Black Kasha Model. A black kasha dress has a line of the buttons as trimming set on a band of white extending the length of the tunic, which is beltless and ends Just below the knees. A white scarf la part of the design of this dress. Shadow plaids In black with linings and pipings in colors are frequent A black-and-white plaid, or rather a black ground material with a scarcely visible cross bar In white, Is made with a detachable cape of the same material lined In re'd and trimmed with red kid at the sides simulating a girdle. O'Rosen, who Is counted an authority in suits, has presented his spring versions of the tailored type. The slightly fitted or plnched-ln Jacket Is among the ones which have caused comment. It follows the generally accepted straight lines except that at each side above the Blot pocket a little Inverted plait catches In the fullness In an easy manner. Another suit by this maker has panels at each side otf the front, ending In a curved bound pocket trimmed with small buttons. Several of the other makers are showing suits accenting the curved manner in a slightly fitted line which, contrary to the treatment of O'Rosen, allows the bottom of the Jacket to set out from the hips with a suggestion of a flare. • Monarch cofiaa. caMDp. sweet pickles, oondimeno, VJI Utcrs • fruics> vegetable* and o(h«r products erf our iatchcna ere oold only by Regular Retail Grocers who own and operate their own stores.

Dress With Wide Flare wide embroidered collars and cuffs and full circular skirt hanging in folds almost like box plaits. Navy blue crepe de lalne is the material of this dress and the collar is white georgette embroidered in blue, with a bright blue tie of crepe worn in an artist's bow hanging nearly to the waistline. A wide sash pulled tightly about the hips Is greatly in evidence In many of the models both for afternoon and for the earlier hours of the day. Its essential difference from the wide girdle of the current models lies In the fact that It is used frequently with a straight waist above and as part of It. Below the girdle the skirt, apron or plaiting appear Independent of the portion above. In other words, it is part of the waist and Is not merely a width of the material tied around a a straight chemise dress. Just how this effect Is achieved is not easily seen, bat the result is new and rather attractive. ' • Doucet sheath dress makes use of an entirely different silhouette, one in which the wide flare at the bottom Is not to be Ignored. The sheath extends well down over the hips with a plnched-in movement and a consequent slight blouslng at the normal waistline. From the dipped tine at the front a circular apron hangs In rather set folds almost to the bottom of the close fitting skirt. Following the atmosphere of the circular apron are sleeves with a circular flare attached at the elbows. The neck of this dress Is Indicative of the trend to rounder lines than that of the bateau. Just escaping being classified as the latter. A dress very much like the last one described has a plaited tunic instead of the circular apron, thus keeping the silhouette In the straight clasa rather than the flaring. . r , , , Lenief makes concession to the cip- A i-olortul Season cular silhouette In a chic model with In an efTort td^outdo their most briiliant of seasons, the designers are making gowns which graduate in shade from orange, to primrose yellow or from cerise to mother of pearl. Jacket Length Varies in New Spring Suits With spring the advent of the suit is noticed. Coats or Jackets vary In length, depending on the occasion, for which the suit Is to be worn. Many of the suits bonst of Jackets that are almost to the knees, others are barely to the waistline, while others range between these two lengths. „ Spring finds many fabrics that rimy be cut for these suits In .soft and lovely lines while the more mannish or sports suits have coarser weaves in twills or novelty weaves. Many of the blouses match the linings of the Jacket, which are gayly printed silks In crepe or knit materials. Fur plays an Important part In trim* ming both sports and dress suits. Many prefer fur collars and others want both collar and cuffs to be of contrasting colored "fur. Gray is a favored color for spring, while that always .delicious color, green, is playing an Important role In every garment at the present time. * Novelty cheviot Is used In an Interesting suit trimmed with fur and made chic, with the dignified row of three little buttons fastening Just a trifle to one side.
