Motor transport |lhas not developed to the same ex. itent in An Saorstat as across the Channel, and, owing to the dissimilâ€" (arily in economic conditions between | the two countries, a big d:minution ‘!n the number of horses maintained here is improbab‘e. The farmer must always rely on the horse. Holdings are with very few exceptions, too small to bear the expense involved in the purchase and upkeep of tracâ€" tors.

And, whether the partâ€" ing is in the centre, front or at the side, whether there are or are not masses of curls at the back or a fringe in front, the hair line is made clear and definite at one point or another. On the whole, the tendency is to dress the front of the head simply, to draw the hair towards the back, and to burst into curls or deep wave high up across the back..

Light does not actually attract moths and other insects, he showed. It acts on the motor nerves, paraâ€" lyzes them peculiarly and thus makes flight impossible only in the line of the rays. Many insects are affected in this manner. The real problem is therefore to develop a glow which will cripple the harmful rather than the beneficial insects. Apparently that problem has been solved satisfactorily for the destrucâ€" tion of the Japanese beetle. _ The bugs are attracted by the glow, fly around it, collide with baffle plates and fall, stunned, through a funnel into a jar. Such is the rain of bectles that the trapped cannot fly out against it. Besides, the mouth of the jar is small and the beetle is none too in-‘ telligent, judged by human standâ€" Research showed that the best kind of light was the purplish glow that comes from a special mercury vapor lamp. It is rich in ultraâ€" violet rays, which seem to be espeâ€" cially alluring to the insects. On the grounds of a country club near Springfield, N.J., as many as 36,000 beetles were thus trapped in a night.. [ The beetle, no bigger than a cofâ€" fee bean, probably came to this country in the roots of the Japaâ€" nese iris or of some similar plant. Poisons have thus {far proved inâ€" effective in stopping its depredaâ€" tions. So the Wesiinghouse engiâ€" neers and the entomologists of the Department of Agriculture decided to lure it with light into traps. "Killing the brown Asiatic beetle is like trying to drown a fish," says a Westinghouse engineer, Samuel G. Hibben. The reason is that the beetle digs into the ground in dayâ€" time and comes out at night to deâ€" vour foliage.

Consequently, |in the manufacture of Canadian im plements for Cuba, allowance must be made with respect to some maâ€" chines for slight variations from what are considered standard types in the Dominion. The animals used for draught purposes are oxen and a comparatively small number â€" of mules. ‘ Cuban canâ€"land throughout a large area, says the Canadian Government Trade Commissioner in Cuba, is equalled in toughness to a very limit. ed degree only in Southern Saskat. chewan. ‘In Cuba where the soll is hardâ€"baked by the sun, it can be broken more readily by oxen with their slow but steady and continuous haul. Irrigation is necessary in many parts of the island, especially where potatoes, rice, and tobacco are grown. The distance between furrows and be. tween plants in each furrow and the depth of ploughing differ from Canâ€" adian practice. Weeds and other un. desirable vegetation in Cuba are vary | heavy and ploughs have to be design. |. ed, but a Canadian disc plough re.| cently imported, especially built for ‘ -u.!u.uno work, is proving very sat. 1 ese people find that foreign rice has not the taste of the homeâ€"grown arâ€" ticle, and this explains why the proâ€" duction at lower cost of Indoâ€"Chinese or Siamese rice can in no way supâ€" plant homeâ€"grown rice nor compete with it. Only in famine years, when the price of rice is too high, are the poorer classes of the population conâ€" strained to replace homeâ€"grown rice by imported rice which, '?ctuu of its lower price, is within their power to purchase. In recent years the Jap.â€" anese colonists have succeeded in improving the quality of the rice proâ€" duced in Korea abd Formosa and the pressure of colonial rice production has already begun to be felt on the domestic market. Canadain Ploughs Vs.

It is needless to reâ€" peat here, says the report, that the whole of Japanese agriculture rests in quite a particular way on two proâ€" ducts only: rice and silk,. Although there has been evidence in Japan in recent years of a ceriain tendency‘ to emerge from the "rk‘e-growlng‘ economy" characteristic of its econ. omic structure hitherto, it is unquesâ€" tionable that rice remains, nevertheâ€" less, the mo:t important product of the whole economic life of Japan.

One blouse matches the skirt and is suited to cool days, with contrasting collar, belt and butâ€" tons as the only trimming. Another, for warmer days, is a thinner cotâ€" ton of light background with an allâ€" over design matching the color of the skirt, which in this case, is a monotone. A third blouse, for wear with a variâ€"colored cotton skirt, matches the lightest shade in the skirt, with yoke, sleeves and loosely folded ascot neckscarf of the skirt fabric.

This does not mean that a blouse cannot have its matching skirt, givâ€" ing the effect of a oneâ€"piece shirtâ€" waist dress, but the thrifty home Idreumker realizes the economy of separate units that can be worn inâ€" ,terch.ngenbly, and is usually glad to undertake the extra work that this twoâ€"piece dress involves, both in the cutting and making, a comâ€" pared with a oneâ€"piece frock, unâ€" seamed at waistline, and which is likely to shift itself to whatever placement of belt its wearer hoppens to choose. Made in two parts, the waist may be worn as a tuckâ€"in or an overblouse, and, by having an extra peplum that slips under the belt when the blouse is used as a tuckâ€"in, a still further variation is possible. This detachable peplum is often made with curved, cutaway fronts in jacket outline, somewhat longer in the back, and worn with a wide patent leather belt. in making the first supply of schoolâ€" going clothes. In families where it is the regular custom to do such sewâ€" ing at home, its advantages cannot be entirely estimated in the saving of mere dollars and cents, as there is so much practical information now being disseminated for the benefit of the home dressmaker, that the actual work involved is deâ€" creasing, while pleasurable interest in home sewing is noticeably on the increase.. One of the many good reâ€" sults in this home work is that children are unconsciously trained in the selection of clothes approâ€" priate for whatever the occasion may be, and are more keenly observant of the gimple, well made garments in the children‘s departments of the shops specializing at this season in "Backâ€"toâ€"School" outfits.
