NEW COATS ARE PICTURESQUE.
All Varieties of Models Are Worn by
Fashion Leaders.

We have for some years past been
accustoming ourselves to gorgeous
and picturesque evening cloaks, but
now art and luxury have been called
into play in wraps for all purposes,
and, though the severe and conserya-
tive coat still has its time and place,
there are few times and places for
which woman can not secure a pic'
ture coat.
Cape models are increasingly popu-
lar, but an amazing amount of variety
is obtained In these lines through clev-
er drapery for sleeve purposes. Many
of the capes hang straight and long
in front and back, but are so cut that
they may be caught up in deep plaits
to elbow length at each side in order
to allow play to the arms.
The kimono sleeve is epidemic in
the cloak realm as in that of the lit
tie suit coat, and Chinese and Japan
ese ideas are in high favor with
French designers. Delightful little
short mandarin coats in dull blue
richly embroidered in blues and vel
lows and made upon the true oriental
lines, have been brought over by some
importers and are delectable little
things to slip on over an airy summer
frock in white or in color with
which the blue will not clash.
Short loose coats of taffeta in white
or delicate color, elaborately embroid
cred in soutache of the same tone, are
also among the imported short coats
for summer wear, and the little shori
wraps in cloth, in linen, and In lace
are beyond counting.

Method of Planting

Experiments at other stations have
shown that what is true of the soy
bean in this respect is also true of the
COW pea for seed production. Both
crops seem to be very sensitive to
crowding. In clean, mellow soil the
COW pea will do very well if broadcast
ed for hay production, but under our
conditions we have found planting in
drills apd cultivating by far the most
profitable. AS the seed usually costs
two dollars or more per bushel and
drilling for cultivation requires only
one-half bushel per acre, while broad
casting requires one and one-half
bushels, there is saving of at least
two dollars per acre for seed. This
saving in the cost OF seed will easily
pay the cost of cultivation.
Being leguminous plants, the soy
bean and COW pea, In order 10 do their
best and to be most profitable. must
have associated with them upon their
roots their particular nitrogen gather
ing bacteria. OF course, good crops
can be grown without bacteria If there
is an abundant supply of available nj
trogen in the soil, but the nitrogen
gathering properties of the plants
would not be made use of In some
cases the bacteria are already present

numbers with the seed, but in a great

grown for the first time artificial inoc-

and most satisfactory method of effect

pearance and make an unsatisfactory
growth. The leaves should always
have a dark green, healthy looking
color.
Like all legumes, the soy bean and
COW pea draw heavily upon the min
eral plant food elements of the soil,
and unless the soil is unusually rich
in these, some fertilizer must be APP
piled, If large yields are to be main
tanned. A fertilizer mixture contain.
ing phosphorus and potassium should
be used. Occasional applications of
lime may also be needed. On properly
inoculated soils nitrogenous fertilizers
will not be necessary.
In general, the cultivation or inter
tillage for soy beans and COW peas
should be similar to that given to
corn. Under good soil and weather
conditions the crops germinate and
grow very rapidly Snd are soon ready
for the use of one-horse small shovel
or harrow-tooth cultivator, but weed.
er or light harrow may often be used
to advantage while the plants are COM
ing up. If the soil becomes crusted
before the plants are up, the use of a
weeder or light harrow should never
be neglected. Care must be exercised,
however, ~ avoid breaking the young
plants when they are coming through
the surface. They are very tender
and brittle, and cultivation at this
stage should be given during the mid
die of the day when the leaves contain
least moisture. For the subsequent
cultivation an ordinary three-shovel
corn cultiyator may be used If the
rows are 80 inches apart. A five or
| seven-shovel one-horse garden culti-
vator is a good tool to use, and IL the
soil is loose the harrow-tooth cultiva
! tor does excellent work. The two lat
I ter cultivators may be used alternate
| ly to good advantage. Ridging should
/ be avoided as much as possible, as the
! stems are often short and the pods
borne low down. necessitating close
cutting when harvesting. Cultivation
should be frequent enough to pre-
serve loose soil mulch until the COW
peas begin to vine and the soy beans
begin TO bloom.
When desired for hay the soy bear
/ should be cut when the pods are abou
half filled and dried and handled mucl

perience of this station, however, th

much more satisfactory. AS the soy
bean ripens it sheds it's leaves and the
pods turn to a brownish yellow or
light brown color. At this time most
varieties need to be closely watched
and harvested before they are thor
oughly ripe, lest many of the pods
burst open and scatter their seeds.
Sometimes one can stand in field of
ripe soy beans after the dew has dried
off and hear and see the pods popping
open all around. Some of the varie-
Ties tested at this station are particu-
larly given to shattering in this way,
notably the Medium Green, the Very
Dwarf Brown and the Ogema. The
Ito San. Early Brown and Medium
Early Yellow are least liable to loss
in this way and will stand neglect
and exposure reasonably well.
AS a general rule the soy bean
should be harvested as soon as three
fourths of the leaves have fallen and
the majority of the pods have at
tanned a brownish color. The cutting
should be done at time of day when
liability to shattering is small.
For harvesting cow peas, the pea
vine guards ON the sickle bar Of the
mower are almost a necessity. as this
crop is always more or less whey and
lies close to the ground. When used
as a seed crop, the COW pea should be
harvested at about the same stage and
in the same manner as the soy bean.
With most varieties Of cow peas, how
ever, the vines remain more or less
green after most of the pods are ripe
and some judgment must be used in
determining the best time TO harvest
for the seed.
When intended for hay, the COW pea
should be cut when the first pods be-
gin to ripen. The same stage is about
right for sailing purposes. Cow peas
are rather difficult to dry for hay and
need considerable sunshine and dry
ing weather.

Nothing is more typical of the
modes that are held in first favor in
Paris than surpiice effects. especially
when the draped bodice shows

SAKE blue voile is used in the develop
ment of a chic frock, the skirt being
cut circular with an overskirt effect

of the overskirt are stitched down

trimming for a marvelously beautiful
skirt.

TRIMMING FOR LACE BLOUSE.
Touch of the Dress Material 10 ar
Idea Much Liked.

The idea of garnishing a lace blouse
with a touch of the dress material
finds favo among well-dressed women,
especially If the frock is built of silk
or satin. The line is not drawn upon
voiles and other exquisite sheer silk
and wool fabrics, however. The only
drawback to this vogue is that it in
capacitates the blouse for wear with
other gowns, being limited to the
three-pieee suit rage.
One detail in which the material of
the gown is repeated in trimming a
blouse is the girdle. If the belt does
not match the dress then it, sans
doute, corresponds with the blouse IT.

The soy bean and COW pea can be
successfully grown on quite a variety
of soils. from light sands to heavy
clays. Like the common field pea,
they require good drainage, but do not
suffer to the same extent from short
periods of excessive wet, and will do
much better during periods of dry
weather, being quite drought resist
ant, especially the soy bean. The
soils best adapted to these crops are
deep friable loans. An ideal corn
soil is also ideal for soy beans and
COW peas. They, however, do not re-
quire so much soil nitrogen, and il
well supplied with the mineral ele-
ments of plant food, and well !noculat-
ed with their particular bacteria, they
will do well where corn would suffer
seriously from lack of nitrogen.
Being nitrogen gatherers and soil
improvers, soy beans and COW peas
should precede corn or a small grain

as good physical condition as when in

The preparation of the soil should
be similar to that best suited to corn.

seed-bed made fine and mellow. A
loose, deep seed-bed is essential to
success. Disking before plowing will
usually pay well on the heavier types
of soil.
