Deep Cultivation Doss Harm.

When q man fully UNDER
stands that the only part Of the
root Of the corn or cotton plants
that are getting fool from the
soil is the little zone of fine root
hairs near the extreme tips Of
the roots, which at laying by
time are well across the rows,
he will never put q plow in there
to tear them off and deprive the
plant Of the food those root hairs
would have gotten for him,
but will cultivate the crop as
level and shallow as possible to
avoid injuring the roots. Every
big root of the corn or cotton
you cut off deprives the plant of
millions of feeding hairs out at
the extremity Of that root. Yet,
| have seen many a man coming
out Of a corn row with his pillow
almost choked with roots he cut
off, and thinking he had done
good work in laying-by that corn
with a big ridge, when he had
really shortened the crop.-W. F.

her, but astonished her as well. At

That the squad industry has grown
wonderfully during the past ten years
there is no question. Much OF it may
have been due to booming, but the
fact remains that there is merit in it,
or il would not today have the stand

True, there have been failures-it
is so in all enterprises-andi it is well
that there are some failures. Ii every
one made a success of the work, If 1t
was an enterprise that required no
brains, no skill. no capital, it could
never be profitable. Therefore. it is
inevitable that some who enter fall

Even at a lower market rate there
is more money in growing squads to-

especially In the face of the fact that

Improved knowledge, improved fac

SQUAD Raising AS a Business

The work is first tested on a small
scale-not to discover if there is
profit in the industry. but to try the
capability of the man undertaking it.
He has knowledge to gain; grad
ual growth will give him better OPP
portunity to learn than by starting on
a large scale.
AS his knowledge increases he keeps
adding to the size of his plant. and he
gets down to a system. He knows
before he reaches too large proper
tions, whether he is fitted for the
work, and also if it is agreeable to
him. In short whether he has the
talents needed to make. success.
Good business principles are re-
quired; men of grit and push are need
ed; wide-awake and not shiftless
methods must be employed. Rightly
managed. SQUAD growing is profitable.

The Length of Skirt

or six inches from the ground for
strictly street wear, skirts that sweep
over the floor in a round train for
the afternoon, and skirts five inches
from the floor for dancing. That is
the decree. Every one does not have
to abide by it, but numbers of women
will accept it in part if not in whole.
They may not have every evening
gown made short or every afternoon
frock made long, but they will assur-
edly have one of each kind to show
that they know what is being done in
the world of fashion.
1t is quite true that the early au-
tumn gowns for evening wear were
long, and this gave rise to the impress
sion that the short frock of Paris
would not be acceptable, but winter
where. These frocks five or six in
ches off the floor are not restricted
to young girls. Women of fifty wear
them with as much placidity as did
their ancestors. This is not a grace
full evening fashion. There is nothing
in it to recommend it to any one over
20 years old. but fashion designers
have not been overzealous in fashion
ing graceful designs for the last two
or three years.
Still the present modes have this
advantage-when dinner or luncheon
is served women can trail clouds of
glory after them in lines of silk, lace
or chiffon, while for dancing they are
able to take every movement in un-
hampcred enjoyment.
1t might be said that any costume
which is draped is in fashion. So COM
mon is this belief that few scarfs
have been attached to an old frock,
and it is rejuvenated into thing of
this year. This sounds easy, and it
really is if one has skill.
These draperies, however, should be
arranged by an artist, and every wo-
man is not one. 1t is usually the case
that these touches must be sought
for among the high priced dressmak-

The short frock has a wider range
than usual this season. For the wo-
man who goes in the street car %
the theatre, restaurant, dinner, and
other affairs-and her name is legion
the possibility of little frock elab-
crate enough to produce favorable
impression in the theatre and at the
restaurant table and yet short enough
for comfortable walking has it's ap-
peal
But, after all, these delicate frocks
are rarely short enough to be left to
their own devices, and if one has to
hold UP skirt one may as well hold
up long one as a short one And
most potent argument-nine women
out of 10 know that long skirts are
more becoming to them than short
skirts There is something about the
swirl and flow of long petticoat that
lends poise and self-assurance, and the
woman who is not slender gains many
inches in apparent height when she
changes her short walking skirt for
the long one.
There has. however, been a general
shortening OF the long skirt, the mar
row train has lost caste, and the
rounder lines seem to prevail. The
exceeding limpness of the modish skirt
around the feet and the vogue of drap-
cries drawn in closely about the ankles
have proved distinctly puzzling prob
lens in the matter of locomotion.
While generally. one has to shuttle
warily along in these new skirts one
may with practice achieve a glide, but
there is no denying that the present
fashionable type of skirt. draped or
tied in somewhere between the knee
and the floor and quite limp and full
below. is a trying thing in which to
walk gracefully

sion in regard to skirts length this
season the well dressed women should
bear in mind these facts The strict
