SPRAYING TO CONTROL PEAR LEAF WORM
COAT DRESS USEFUL
(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture >
The pear-leaf worn., nn insect which does considerable damage to pear •
orchards, especially on the Pacific coast, is easily controlled by spraying. A
contact spray is usually effective in controlling the insect in the larval stage,
and should be applied when the blossoming period is about over and two-thirds
of the petals have fallen. The following formula for a contact spray is given
in a new professional fmper of the bureau of enton\ology, United States depart-
ment of agriculture: Fish-oil snap, 1 pound; water, 25 gallons; uicotine sul-
phate (40 per cent concentrate), 1 to 1,-00 parts of the spray. When the
Infestation is severe and promises destruction of the foliage, a poison spray
made of 4 pounds of lead arsenate to KM) gallons of water, should be used.
The best time for applying this is when tl>e holes in the leaves are not largur
than .onc'half inch in diameter.

Serge, Gaberdine, Tricotine and Twills
Among Fabrics Utilized in
These Frocks.
The coat dress, or robe manteau.
Rtill promises to be one the most popu-
lar items of the wardrobe. Garment
manufacturers and fashion designers
•ay 'that never lifts so useful a gar-
ment been devised. It is both a coat
and a dress and many also take the
place of a suit.
The various popular wool fabrics,
such as serge, gaberdine, tricotine,
twills, etc., are employed in the de-
velopment of coat dresses, and light
shades are popular as well as the sta-
ple and dependable navy. Beige, snail
and lead gray and several shades of
tan have been noted in the develop-
ment of these coat frocks.
The garment shown in the sketch Is
made of navy gaberdine, trimmed in
satin in a contrasting shade. Gold-
colored satin might be used; red or a
lighter shade of blue would also be ef-
fective. The double row ot nuttons
down the front may match either the
navy of the frock proper or the trim-
ming.
The double-strap belt extends
straight around the back, and the
wide tabs on either side of the waist
In front conceal pockets. Pockets are
featured on nearly all tailored spring
and summer dresses, suits and coats.
As will be noted, this garment
shows a rather straight silhouette—
that is, while a waistline is indicated,
the skirt follows the natural lines of
the figure, and no exaggerated barrel
tlare is evident.
The barrel skirt was largely a scare-
head style feature devised early to
stimulate a somewhat lagging demand
for ready-to-wear garments, l ew who
thought seriously of style development
paid much attention to it. Women still
cling to the straight-line garments, and

FIRE BLIGHT HURTS
MANY FRUIT TREES
Disease Attacks Pear as Well as
Apple and Quince—Prun-
ing Is Only Remedy.
In reeent years a disease has been
spreading through the apple orchards
of Missouri, killing much of the newly
set fruit and many of the young grow-
ing shoots of the trees. This disease
is fire blight. It attacks the pear as
well as the apple and quince. It de-
velops to a serious degree almost ev-
ery year in pears. It rarely causes as
much injury in apples as it did last
year. It is caused by a bacterial para-
site which develops in tin? growing lay-
er of the tree caused by a bacterial
parasite which dev. lops in the growing
layer of the tree causing the tissues
to die (luring spring and early summer.
There is no other known preventive
than cutting out and burning the
blighted parts, according to J. C. Whit-
ten of the Missouri College of Agricul-
ture.
The best time to cut out blight is in
late winter or early spring just before
the blossoming season. It winters
over mostly in pears though occasion-
ally in n few apples like Jonathan and
Yellow Transparent. While in June
the blight shows in millions of the
blighted places -on the twigs, it will
winter over only in a few places in the
trunk, main limbs or occasionally in
the twigs. In early spring these win-
ter pockets of blight may be seen in
blistered areas on the bark which give
off honey like exudations. Insects feed
on these honeyljke masses. These
honeylike masses are full of germs of
the disease which are carried by the
Insects to the blossoms and growing
! points in spring. If tiiese winter
i pockets can be cut out. and the wound*
; painted, no blight germs will be left
and the disease will not spread during j
the spring and early summer. If a
i blight pocket here and there is over*
| looked near the blossoming time, the i
disease will spread from it to the flow* j
er clusters and growing twigs. The ;
first blighted parts in the llower el us- ■
ters and new twigs put out honeylike
exudations which stand in little beads
on the young twigs, lead stems ot
voting fruit stems. If these are cut
j out just after the blooming period,
enormous spread of blight can be pre-
vented. It will be wt.Il to keep this
point in mind this spring and cut out
| blight early before it spreads through
the orchard.
I Treatment with salt, calomel, iron
and other materials has boon recom-
\ mended for preventing blight. None
of these is of any use. The reason
why salt or iron stirred into the soil
i under a blighting tree, or calomel in-
I jected under its bark seems to check
| the blight is because the spring blight
I runs its course so quickly that by th<?
j time it is observed and the alleged
remedy applied, the blight is usually '
i ready to stop of its own accord.
SMALL TRACTOR IS FAVORED
Many Attractive and Practical Forms •
Now on Market—Relieves Horse
of Much Hard Labor.
Many attractive ami practical forms '
of smaller tractors are now on tin
market and rapidly gaining in favor in
the communities where they are being
used and demonstrated. And while il
is very doubtful if the tractor will sur-
pass the farm horse entirely, it ap-
pears certain that it will relieve him ol
the plowing and much of the harder
and more costly labor which He hat
done in the past.
Gaberdine Coat Dress.
something very much more attractive
than the barrel skirt must make its
appearance before their popularity
wanes.
To make the coat frock sketched
five and a half yards of material .SO
inches wide will be required, with one
yard of contrasting color for collar,
cuffs, belt, etc.

TO PREVENT LOST STITCHES
Small Safety or Baby Pin Important
Adjunct of Crocheting Outfit of
the Busy Mother.
It is a hard matter for the busy
mother to crochet and look after the
children at the same time. The kid-
dies will pet into mischief and then
mother drops her crochet, settle# dis-
putes, picks up baby's toys and an-
swers the telephone.
When everything is once more quiet
and peaceful she picks up her crochet
and finds that one of the children lias
accidentally knocking the ball of cot-
ton from the table. The cotton in fall-
ing has pulled out several rows of
stitches, and the thread is twisted
around the rungs of a chair and the
legs of the table.
Poor mother!
One day mother had to drop her
work and ns usual the crochet needle
fell out. On the table was a gold
baby pin, which she quickly fastened
in the loop of her work.
When she again picked up the ero-
"het not a stitch had been pulled out,
iccause the pin prevented It. After
that mother's crocheting outfit was not
complete without a small safety or
baby pin, to hold the loop or chain of
the crochet, when she wus not busy
with her needle.

An apple-green Worumbo velour
cloth coat, the kind that is to be worn
this summer. If the summer sun's
rays are not warm enough for you, this
coat is being made for your relief. Such
coats as this will be worn by all fash-

summer months. The coat is not
heavy and is not lined. The mammoth
pockets with the tucked-up effect,
which is duplicated in the collar, give
added distinction to this charming
coat.
SILKS DEMANDED BY WOMEN
Are Widely Worn This Season in Spite
of High Prices Due to a Variety
of Causes.
There are many reasons why silks
are high priced this year, but there
is just one reason why silks are in de-
mand this year more than ever be-
fore—simply because women want to
wenr silks.
The war has had something to do
with the shortage' of silk, as it has
had with most everything else of late, j
In the first place, expert labor is short.
Then, something happened to the co-
coons in Turkey, and for some reason
there was a shortage of raw silk in |
Italy, which, coupled with the in-
creased demand, made things rather
difficult and, of course, sent prices up.
Our little brown-skinned neighbors of
the Pacific came to our rescue by see- j
ing in this situation a chance for their '
own profit, and now we are getting j
more silk from Japan than anywhere ,
else. Obviously, nothing happened to
the cocoons in the land of chrysanthe-
mums.
And since Japanese silk possesses
very great artistic merits, even in the j
cheaper grades, women have something
to be thankful for. Japanese silks es- I
pecially commend themselves to this j
season's fashions. They are soft and j
supple without being slinky, u char- j
ncteristic which makes them especially !
suitable to a season when skirts are j
neither extremely full nor extremely
narrow.

BERIBBONED SHOES WORN
Fashion Introduced Several Years
Ago, But Not Generally Adopted,
Has ' Been Revived.
"We used to hold our bathing sandals I
on with cotton tapes or ribbons laced I
over the instep and about the ankle. |
A few years ago, when dancing became !
such a craze and empire dresses were (
an obvious inspiration for Paris, we !
again adopted the ribbon-lace satin j
shoe for dancing. It never was very
much worn and we have not seen much I
of it for several seasons. This year it I
has returned to fashion and quite prob- j
ably will be worn at the seaside re-
sorts and in the mountains for after- j
noon as well as evening, writes a fash-
ion authority.
The ribbons match the shoe when it
is colored, but very often black rib- |
bons are used with white shoes over j
white stockings. The ends of the rib-
bons are tied with a bow. Sometimes
n slipper with only one eyelet on each
side is laced in this new fashion, and
sometimes the slipper extends high
enough so that three or four eyelets
on each side can be introduced. The
ribbons are often crossed and re-
crossed about *he ankle so that their
ends tie fully ha.4 way up to the knee.
To be sure, we are to wear longer
skirts this summer, but the ribbon-
bound ankle is decidedly pretty when
skirts are short, for the ribbon breaks
the length of the stocking.
