NEW INDUSTRY FOR WOMEN
Out in California They Get Dish Rags
from the Garden Instead Of
from the Stores.

A novel enterprise, that of raising
dish-rags, is being exploited by a
number of southern California horti-
cuturists, who received the inspira-
ton for the scheme from Charles
Richardson. whose gardens in Pasa-
dena are becoming famous for their
remarkable productions. Mr.. Rich-
ardson has successfully raised many
growths new to American soil, and
this year is exceeding all his pre-
vious triumphs by raising thousands
of dish-rags.
Last year Mr.. Richardson's string
beans. which measured 43 inches in
length, created stir, but dish-rag
vines, which, with their pendant dish
rags-twine about orange trees, palms,
evergreens and peach trees, and peek
in at the two-story windows, bid fair
to win the championship from the
beans.
These dish-rags, or vegetable
sponges, as they are sometimes called,

How to Keep Hair Light.

KEEP your hair light by exposing 1t
to the sun as many hours each week
as you possibly can. Soda or borax
will keep it light. but they are not
the best shampoos, as they make the

oil, one drachm tincture cantharides,
one drachm carbonate ammonia Use
three times week at first, gradually

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 2.-The North Da-

ton.
1t all depends on whether the frosts will
be late or early.

state outside the Red River valley will
nave the largest crop In its history.
Some OF the earliest seeded wheat will
be harvested the latter part Of this week,

from Neche to Larimore to Hankinson are
ideal. Most Of the area west of that line
was seeded at a fairly good time and
stands good show Of being harvested
unless the frost should come early.

WHEAT IN A BAD WAY
North Dakota Crop Bound to Be a
.ss.e $3.50 Disappointment.

To the Editor of The Journal.
AS the outcome of the prospective
spring wheat crop Is topic Of general
discussion, beg leave to present T h e
J Or my observations. I have re-
sided In the Dakotas for thirty years. al
most since the first sod was turned, and
the situation is the gloomiest have seen
for the period of time above mentioned.
All agree that the harvest Is from three
to four weeks late this year. In order
to set forth the causes Of the hardness
of the plant, it will be necessary to go
back to last falls blowing. Last fall all
over the spring wheat belt was unusually
wet. The wet and late spring and the
bad condition of the ground in many
places and also the unusual chilly summer
are important factors to this present crop
situation. Wheat should commence to
head out in the last days of June and
when the 10th of July arrives it should
be IN head everywhere. If the wheat is
going toefill and mature properly it takes
one month from the time it is fully headed
out until maturity is accomplished, and
that when days are long and hot and
nights mild and short For thirty years
this has been general, except in 1883, when
wheat was not fully headed out until July
20, and we all remember what took place
that year. We are now at Aug. 1 and q
large part of the wheat is not yet headed
out. Everybody that has had any ex-
perience in wheat raising knows well that
August weather is not the kind Of weather
Tor the filling Of wheat. even under the
most favorable circumstances, as nights
are too long and cold. The best the day
of sunshine can do is to warm I'D what
the long, chilly night has cooled off. That
Will leave the wheat plant at stand
STILL
Besides this, black rust has invaded al
most every field Of wheat and oats in the
northwest and that Is also another back
set of from a week to ten days, especially
SO late in the season. / am trying to pre-
sent the situation as 1t really is and to be
as far from being pessimistic over the
outlook as possible. In the latter part of
June figured that the spring wheat
states would not produce over so per cent
of last years wheat crop, and I have not
as yet found any good reason why should
raise that estimate. My honest opinion
is now that the chances are even worse.
In the middle of August we often have
frosty nIShts and believe that the con-
dition Of the wheat plant will be such that
1t can not pass thru that cold period un-
injured.
Barley is doing fairly well, tho late, but
the oats crop will be very much short.

The Success of the Worker.

There is q certain pathos in the
success of some men. Look at the
man who sleeps on the counter of a
little store as a janitor, presently he.
is clerk, head clerk, manager, part
ner; his fame as a business man
spreads through the land. His life is
insured for half a million, and. then
he dies. His business was his whole
life, he lost all the pleasures of the
woods, Of quiet reading and peace
full home and yet we say he was sue
cessful. Perhaps, though, it wasn't
worth while and if you are following
his example it win pay well to begin

yourself down and take a fair look at
the world. It's good for tired and
busy men, it's good for all their farfli-
lies.

FROST PERIL IN IOWA :.
Corn Is Late and Farmers Fear the
Crop May Be Lost.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
les Moines, Iowa, Aug. 2.-The corn
crop of Iowa is facing one peril-early
frosts: Being ten days behind in its
growth has given rise to some apprehen-
sion among Iowa farmers In the best
years. with eYerything favorable, the corn
Will mature during the first week Of Sep
TENDER, but at this period the entire crop
Is never out of danger.
It is predicted that this year the most
advanced corn will not pass the danger
line until the middle of next month, and
only the assurance Of the postponernent of
frosts until the first of October would
relieve the minds Of those interested. Ear
ing has commenced in some Of the fields.
and one feature Of the crop is that it is
not retarded in growth of stalk 1t is
as high as under normal conditions.
Weather bureau officials and other author
lties agree that this is the critical stage
of corn in its struggle for the ripening
period.
