MANY NEW WEAVES
ELEGANT PATTERNS
Old Material Predominate
Though Offered Under
Now Names
The matter of textiles is this yea
of the utmost importance asserts a
fashion writer In the New York Times
The weaves are new and many the
patterns attractive Some that have
new names are but old materials of
proven virtues'-'' The desire of moat
women is for softness of texture for
luxury In brocades — silk wool or
metal Many of the designs belong to
the elegance of toilets in earlier days
and the color combinations shown are
both subtle and daring
The advance of art In the looms is
evident in sqme of the latest fabrics
Kasha of which so much Is promised
Is the euphonious name of onr old
friend camel’s hair — the unwrlnkleable
long-haired kind There was never a
dress material more refined more
graceful and altogether satisfactory —
more distinctly the cloth for fashion-
ing a lady’s gown It comes now in
hues such as we never dreamed of in
Its original manufacture Kasha is
especially liked for one-piece gowns

appears In some of the handsomest

Its fluffy softness yielding to graceful
draped lines
Departing from plain colors several
striking £0prasTof kasha have been re-
ceived by a prominent New York cou-
turier One Is done in cinnamon
bro’gn of which the upper part of the
dress Is tnadd down to the line of the
hip The bodice has slight coat revere
at thweck and straight wrist-length
sleeves The waist unbelted hangs
away In an eton jacket effect The
skirt straight and narrow has a bor-
der more than knee depth of the cloth
woven In a bold pattern combining the
Greek key and Egyptian characters in
brilliant- orange brown and gray A
strip of this gaudy border is sewn
across the back of the neck like a
shallow sailor collar The composition
Is bold but no crudeness is evident
and the result Is fetching
Matelasse Is the original material be-
loved of our grandmothers and Is
Canton Crepe Moire
Ribbon for This Dress
This very youthful frock is made up
of black canton crepe charmingly In-
terlaced in moire ribbon -
therefore an absolute novelty to the
present generation It is a brocade In
wool or silk ’ of fine weave richness
and dignity It is happily adapted to
the latest styles for afternoon to be
trimmed with fur or worn with a 'fur
scarf Matelasse will be shown in some
Russian tunics and in soft-line wraps
The two-tone character of the cloth
gives scope for numerous color combi-
nations some of which are very beau-
tiful Marigold and henna brown and
orange tan and gray green and gray
green and blue are among the most
charming Poiret twill endurea and
duve dqpache a fine variety of duve-
tynthe two-sided crepe charmeusa
poplins and velvet for which a tremen-
dous vogue la predicted
Every woman knows the flattering
quality of a velvet gown especially In
black for daytime or evening and al-
most any sort of frock fashioned of
velvet gives the wearer a dressy ap-
pearance A new velvet Is the erect
pile having no nap and may be cut
either way The browns from Havana
to seal are much liked for coat dresses
and three-piece suits successfully
trimmed with fur or embroidery Vel-
vets in evening colors are being shown
In most enchanting shades — nile green
apple green pea green sapphire gob-
lln blue hydrangea hyacinth orange
amber gold -flame rose mulberry
coral apricot orchid violet mauve
Bemisport 8ults
A new fashion that has appeared
Bhows a suit which has a skirt of
striped wool with a fur-trimmed coat
of plain color or the order Is reversed
These are what might be called semi-
sport suits and are Just the thing for
autumn days In the country or for a
suit to wear In the morning when shopping
Cinnamon and Gold
Cinnamon is a color enjoying a wide
vogue at present It combines well
with certain shades of green and with
all the golds- A favorite trimming Is
a ribbon-like streamer of plaited
georgette in gold against the cinna-
mon background several of these
streamers being seen on a gown
Silhouette for Fall Is Wider Paris Says
Thd silhouette for- autumn accord-
ing to the models shown in Paris is
wider thaq that of the summer writes
a Cushion correspondent In the Kw
York Tribune Very little drapery Is
used The line Is Increased by the
use of long full tunics that extend to
within two or three inches of the bot-
tom of the skirt
Models Shown at Philippe et Gas-
ton’s show a nice balancing of the
flares that are authorised for autumn
WlferSs the --full tunic la applied In
front fhera la a cape to the hips In
back or the back of the waist la
bloused markedly
The circular all-around tunic la alao
being' shown!" Jean ' Patou Is display-
ing a number' of models with simple
bodices " and' flaring skirts One of
these” iflodels la made of mauve and
green figured ' silk and has a chiffon
yoke In the back of the waist braided
with soutache The two Inches of
aklrt visible beiow the tnnlc Is also of
chiffon similarly braided -
The wlstllne shows a tendency to
meander - all-'over the silhouette A
waistline that i began at - the normal
' line in front and extended to the hips
In back was Introduced by Cherult in
the spring and the new models for
autumn have this line Callot uses it
on 'some of her most charming new
models varying It by beginning the
line low in front on some" models and
making it come to normal In back
Some of her gowns have an absolutely
normal waistline
Jean Patou Is also showing the slid-
ing waistline on many of hla newest
models and he accentuates it on soma
of them by making the gown very
bloused in back and quite close fitting
in front
Madeleine VIonnet exaggerates this
waistline on one of her models by the
use of a sash that is placed high in
front and ties In a large bow at the
bipllne In back This exactly reverses
the 1880 silhouette which was preva-
lent In the spring openings
Autumn Brown Color
for Outdoor Apparel
A prominent merchant In the East
makes the statement that “the Parish
enne lives to defeat age and uses all
the arts of massage powder and paint
whereas the American woman la con-
tent to let nature take Its course but
at the same time alda nature by youth-
ful activities”
Autumn Is the great brown period In
nature and It holds true In the apparel
for outdoors The browns lead In the
weaves and cloths for knickers suits
and footwear and boots and oxfords
in brown have a decided place in the
scheme of women's outdoor dress
For the Small Girl
Many women enjoy cross-stitching as
a pastime and little dresses for very
smull girls stamped with exceedingly
good design to be worked in red and
blue are well worth the time expended
upon them
On Dark Blue Crepe
For fall a most attractive child's
dress is of dark blue crepe de chine
with touches of cross-atltchlng across
the shoulders of the raglan sleeves
Farming Adapted
to Given Region
In Making Change Physical
Factors Such as Soil and
Climate Are Important
(Prepend b the United State Department
r AxrlouUur
To stick to cotton or to change to
com and hoga to grow wheat and oata
or to go Into dairying or to change to
any other type of farming which may
at the time seem to offer more profit-
able returns than the prevailing type
la a Question ever present In great
fanning regions and one ' which la
often keenly considered in time of ag-
ricultural depression In attempting
to make such changes serious errors
are almost certain to be made saya
the United States Department of Agri-
culture unless those who are direct-
ing the movement have a thorough un-
derstanding of the forces which control
the types of farming adapted to the
different regions
Enterprises Beat Adapted1
It la possible at least In a general
pay says the department to deter-
mine what farm enterprises are adapt-
id to a region by studying the physi-
cal biological and economic conditions
prevailing there and the adaptability
of various enterprises to these condi-
tions An anulysis of the types of
farming In the United Stutes has been
mads on this basis and the discussion
is presented in Farmers’ Bulletin No
1289 Distribution of Types of Farm-
ing In the United States Just Issued by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture Physical factors such as soli and
climatic conditions pluy an important
part In the type of farming adaptable
to a given region Temperature limits
the northern distribution of cotton
southern distribution of wheat and
northern distribution of corn Rainfall
and length of growing season are other
Important factors the effects of which
are very apparent In our agriculture
Factors of Second Class-
The second class of factors discussed
in the bulletin Is called biological fac-
tors The effect of the boll weevil In
reducing cotton acreage near the Gulf
and Atlantic coasts Is an example The
chinch bug has reduced the acreage of
corn In southern Illinois and the Hes-
sian fly has changed the date of seed-
ing winter wheat and has probably re-
duced the acreage of this crop In
soma localities Many other cases are
cited In which Insect pests and fungous
diseases are determining factors
In the third claaa are economic fac-
tors auch aa cost of transportation and
distance from market Another Im-
portant one la competition with regions'
which can produce more cheaply This
last la a factor in limiting the acreage
of com oats wheat barley and rye
In those parts of New England where
these crops thrive
The bulletin alms to make clear tbs
part these fundamental factors play
In determining the possibility of estab-
lishing on a profitable basla a new or
different type of farming and to show
that the kind of farming which pre-
vails is based on them rather than on
the desires or whims of the farmers

Internal Freezing Does
Much Harm to Potatoes
Internal freezing injury or frost ne-
crosis occurs when potatoes are ex-
posed to severe frosts temperatures
below twenty-eight degrees Fahren-
heit The tubers show dark blotches
In the flesh when they are cut open
tnd allowed to stand a short time
The spots are usually most marked at
the stem end but they are scattered
Irregularly through the outer flesh or
in a fine network or ring Ordinarily
the Injury is detected only upon cut-
ting although the affected tubers wilt
more than the normal ones In storage
Potatoes may actually be frozen
solid throughout becoming soft and
mushy on thawing As a result of
coming Id contact with a cold wall In
storage or being left above the ground
before digging potatoes may freeze on
one side Tubers Injured in this way
are easily sorted out
“Turning sweet” is due to prolonged
storage at low temperatures twenty-
nine to thlrty-fouf degrees Fahrenheit
not to real freezing Tubers that have
never been frost bitten may show this
Injury
Have a good thermometer In the
room where potatoes are stored and
keep the temperature above twenty-
eight degrees Fahrenheit
When shipping potatoes during cold
weather in a heated car provide for
some circulation of air from the stove
to prevent black heart in the pota-
toes near the heat and frost Injury in
those in the outer parts of the car
Ducks Kept on Average
Farms of Mixed Breeds
There are eleven standard breeds
of ducks which have been admitted to
the American standard of perfection
These breeds may be divided into
three classes: (1) The meat class in-
cluding the Pekin Aylesbury Muscovy
Rouen Cayuga Buff and Swedish (2)
the egg class represented by the Run-
ner and (3) the ornamental class
composed of the Cull the Crested
White and the Black East India The
ducks commonly kept on many farms
are of mixed breeding and are gen-
erally of small size poor layers and
‘"undesirable types of market duck Ex-
cept tha Muscovy all our economic
breeds of ducks are said to have origi-
nated from the mallard or wild duck
Fall or Winter Best
Time to Fight Borer
Canes Infested Should Be
Cut Before Bugs Emerge
(Prepared bp tha United States Department
tf Agriculture)
Fail or- winter la the best time to
apply control measures to raspberry
blackberry or dewberry crops Infested
by the red-necked raspberry cane-
borer according to Farmers' Bulletin
1286 by F II Chittenden entomolo-
gist The damage to these crops Is
caused by a flat-beaded milk-white
borer which la the larva of a small
slender velvet-black beetle with cop-
pery red or golden thorax (“neck")
The larvae form Irregular swellings or
galls which gradually enlarge the
canes and split the bark Canes thus
Infested die or become weakened and
fall to develop a crop The beetle also
does some Injury by feeding on the
leaves of the plants
To control the Insect the Infested
canes should be cut out In the fall or
winter or In the early spring before
the beetles have emerged from them
All cuttings ' should be - promptly
burned To Insure thoroughness all
wild blackberry ‘ raspberry or dew-
berry plants nearby should receive the
same attention Co-operation among
neighboring fruit growers In the ob-
servance of these measures for suc-
cessive years Is highly desirable

Scab Seriously Reduces
- Yield of Wheat' Crop
Scab seriously' reduces the yield of
wheat In Infected fields throughout the
central states and eastward And It
not only affects wheat but other grains
and grasses as well The cause of
this disease Is a tiny fungous parasite
which grows In the wheat plant a lit-
tle like the wheat plant ltBelf grows In
the soil and this parasite destroys the
parts of the wheat plant In which It
grows
The same parasite also grows on
corn and naturally wheat following
corn may be seriously affected by scab
In order to control the disease the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture recommends that the farmer —
(1) Avoid sowing wheat after corn
unless the cornstalks are removed and
the stubble completely plowed under
(2) Plow under all crop refuse and
clean up the old straw and grasses
along the fence rows and In nearby
waste places
(8) Use clean seed of adapted va-
rieties Seed should be thoroughly
gleaned graded and treated
(4) Sow wheat when the ground Is
cool winter wheat on the latest date
In the fall and spring wheat on the
earliest safe date In the spring
If you are Interested In making a
more thorough study of the scab prob-
lem write to the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture Washington D
C and ask for Farmers' Bulletin 1224
Wheat Scab and Its Control
Many Injurious Insect
Pests May Be Destroyed
Since many troublesome Insects hi-
bernate In dead plants and trash and
In grass and weeds along the borders
of cultivated land H A Gossard en-
tomologist of the Ohloa experiment
station states that large numbers of
them may be destroyed In late fall or
very early spring by burning the col-
lected trash and dead grass
Tarnished plant bugs squash bugs
and slugs are cited as examples
These pests pass the winter In weedy
borders among refuse under stones
and other objects They Could be nl-
most entirely eliminated If entire com-
munities would co-operate in remov-
ing all means for their protection ding-
ing winter
' Potato stalks squash vines onion
tops asparugus plants bean and pea
vines and the like furnish shelter
during the winter for many insects
thnt feed upon these plants
Fall plowing where soil conditions
permit the practice will result in the
destruction of muny cutworms white
grubs corn ear worms army worms
and eggs of the grasshopper where
these pests are numerous— Weekly

Too Much Moisture Will
Cause Potatoes to Decay
An excess of moisture will cause
the growth of decay In the potato
storage Some growers make a prac-
tice of “curing” their potatoes before
storing This is done by piling them
In piles of 80 bushels or more and cov-
ering them with the potato vines Af-
ter the potatoes are well dried so there
Is no excess moisture and are free
from dirt they may be placed In stor-
age ' Sometimes the ventilators of
the storage are left open for several
days after storage to facilitate dry-
ing Care should be used however
that potatoes In storage do not be-
come too dry as they may wilt or
shrivel
Right Plae to Select
Seed Com Is in Field
It is a well-known fact that the best
place to select seed corn Is In the
field The best time to pick It is when
the earliest ears are ripe Don't wait
tlllNevery ear Is fully matured as thnt
may mean Injury from frost Besides
It Is always desirable to pick from tlie
ears that ripen first so as to encour-
age early maturlC

Fairy Tale
dyAARY GRAHAM BONNER
BARNYARD STORIES
In the barnyard quite often there
was story telling- One of the bens
“Whan She Wss a
Bride”
would tell the lit-
tle chicks stories
of other chicks
and of adventures
they had had and
of good and bad-
dee da they bad
‘ performed
Mother Turkey
would tell her
childreh how they
should act and
would explain to
them bow miser-
able for example
little turkeys had
been who had dis-
obeyed their moth-
ers and had let
their feet get wet
during the first
weeks of their lives
Red Top the Rooster would boast
of the days when he bad been a young
rooster and tell of how everyone had
paid attention to him and had listened
amazed and wonder-struck at hla crow-
ing The pigs would grunt and squeal and
tell of famous pigs in the family-
pigs who had been splendidly greedy
and wonderful eaters!
There would be adventure stories
to tell of animals who had wandered
away from the barnyard and what
had happened to them of the narrow
escapes they had had and oh — of the
marvelous stories they could tell when
they were back safe and sound In the
barnyard
There were stories ro tell which
would make the animals laugh and
grin and at times the barnyard was
filled with the laughter of the barn-
yard animals — such funny laughter aa
It Is too
Maybe you have beard It at times?
Of course too at times the animals
did all sorts of things which would
never be forgotten and later on these
actions would be described to even
younger chicks and turkeys and pigs
and ducks
Mrs White Hen told of the days
when she was a bride and how every-
one admired her wedding feathers and
aid that they were just suitable for
everyone really should have white for
s wedding
And she hadn’t put her wedding
feathers away and hadn’t allowed
them to become yellow with age so
that they'd fall apart and be useless
except as a curiosity
No she had made good use of her
white feathers and had worn them
right along
The parrot In the enormona cage
on the back porch squeaked and
screamed and yelled at times with mer-
riment for he had lots to say for him-
self and lots to remember
The parrot had at one time helped
to collect money for a hospital The
money had been needed badly and the
parrot had sat np 'on a balcony and
bad shrieked :
’ “We need money The doctors need
money for the hospital Help the doc-
tors Help the doctors and the hospi-
tal with your money"
Everyone had looked up and bad
seen that the parrot was making all
these cries and It was the parrot who
was so successful In raising the funds
that were needed That was a favor-
ite story In the barnyard and the par-
rot was very proud of that too
Then the parrot had at one time
escaped from the hospital — he had
thought 1? would be rather fun to go
off adventuring And one day he got
away and flew np to the branch of a
nearby tree but all he did when there
was to call fur his doctor friends and
they opened bis cage door so that he
was able to go back to safety and his
own real home
And later on he had been given to
the farmer who owned this barnyard
Yes the parrot was a splendid par-
rot to have around so many adven-'
tures had he had!
So story telling and wonderful deeds
had their part In the life of the barnyard
And this life In
the barnyard went
along so that ev-
ery day It seemed
that the animals
were even happi-
er than the day
before
The fanner fed
them well b 1
children were al-
w a y a good to
them
Dash the dog
was like a private
watchman for
them and alto-
gether tfie barn-
yard waa as Jolly
and pleasant a
“It Was the Par
rot”
place as ever a group of barnyard ani-
mals could have
And when the barnyard animals
heard that not only had they their
stories to tell and to act but that
stories about them were being told
all about the plgB grunted the rooster
crowed the hens cackled the ducks
quacked and all the others mattered
In their own peculiar way and said :
“Well we’re glad people know of
uel After all we’re a pretty fine eel
of animals I”

Gentlemen:
Being a pipe smoker of no mean experi-
ence (having tried moet pipes end pipe to-
' bee coe) I’ve watched your amokera’ let-
ter in the magaxinee for eome explanation
of a taate that for me applies only to
Edgeworth
It is extmpiely difficult to describe this
because it see me to coma as the smoke
flltera through the mouth and nostrils at
the end of a drawfrom the pipe — a aort of
oombined “ tasty-amellf ulneaa " that moat
atiaflea tha smoke appetite
Why don't you get some of your smok-
ers who can write to describe this? -Sincerely
youra
(Signed) Joe Rivers
Probably there
are any number of
reasons why men
smoke Edgeworth

Nearly every smoker Is particular
bout the kind of tobacco that goes
into his pipe While he may smoke a
pipeful from a friend’s pouch for the
sake of companionship for day-in-and-day-out
smoking he prefers his own
brand
And yet if you ask the average
smoker what ft is he likes about hie
tobacco ha may have difficulty in
answering yoq immediately
Mr Joe Rivers whose letter fol-
lows is confirmed Edgeworth
smoker In attempting to describe'
what he likes about Edgeworth he
coins the word “ tasty-emellfulness’
But as this does not entirely satisfy
him he puts the question up to other
Edgeworth smokers
its uniformity Year after year smok-
ers can be sure of getting the same
high-grade quality of tobacco
There are no changes in the blend-
no variations in the flavor or fra-'
grance It is always a good smoke
