mildew, two applications will probably
be very satisfactory.
Leaf-spot symptoms are everywhere
abundant and are really of very d.
verse origin. In any example in which
the leaf tissues are locally invaded by
a parasitic fungus we may expect
evident effects. In the downy mildew
troubles there may be wet-rot symp-
toms when the weather is moist, after
the leaves have become badly dis.
eased they may appear to die very
suddenly because the gradual inva-
sion of the areas has been overlooked.
In many other leaf diseases no such
rapid multiplication or reproduction of
the parasite is possible and limited
dead patches or spots are the result.
These leaf troubles are commonly
very evident during rainy seasons and
are preventable by spraying the fol.
iage of the diseased plants at repeat
ed intervals, thus keeping a supply
of the fungicide on the leaves to ar
rest renewed spore development

mulch to conserve moisture and make

TUB DRESSES FOR A DOLLAR
Dainty Frocks In All Sorts Of Designs
Are Now Well Within the
Reach Of All.

II is astonishing how many dainty
frocks for the summer can be made
these days setting the limit Of ex-

terms and threads.
Never before have so many delicate
designs been shown in inexpensive
lawns and ginghams. and the bust
ness girl should begin now to make
the smart little dresses which she will
wear to the Office during the coming
summer
Two things should be remembered.
One is that much trimming of any
sort detracts both from the cool ef-
feet of the gown and makes 1t bad to
launder; the second is that however
dainty the very light materials are
they are far less serviceable than a
plaid OF a plain bun or blue dress.
AS to the question of expense, be-
gin with the pattern. Choose one Of
the new ones that are capable of being
carried out in several different fash
ions, with OF without the high waist
line or with long or short sleeves and
with or without yoke. Thus for Is
cents you will provide yourself with
pattern for several frocks.
Next. a few yards of white null and
some inexpensive lace will make
broad collars and cuffs and a fichu or

win serve as trimming. for your

MULCH FOR THE STRAWBERRY
Protects Them From Injury Of Freez-

Moisture Fruit Needs.

The average farmer doesn't grow
strawberries at all and many of those
who do entirely neglect to mulch
them. The benefits of mulching are
threcfold; to protect from the injury
OF freezing and thawing, to keep the
berries clean and free from grit and
to conserve moisture that the fruit
often needs at time of ripening In
favorable seasons berries can be sue
cessfully grown without mulcihng, but
for term of years there is no care
that pays better The work is best
done the first time the ground is
frozen hard and any kind of straw
that is perfectly free from grass or
weed seed is good material, says a
writer In the Ohio Farmer.

As though they never felt the frost In
last November's air
Sweet williams and the hollyhocSs, for
getmenots and all
The sturdy. steady flowers that have
heard the waking call;
We find them where they always were
they smile right up at you
With friendliest OF welcomes in their
quiet 'How-d'yedow
So common and so hardy that we do not
realize
The goodness and the gladness that they
spread before our eyes,
We saw them wither in the fall, we saw
them droop and fade,
We saw their petals made a sport Of all
the winds that played
And yet they shoulder up today, each in
Its wonted place
With unassuming courage and with I'M
considered grace.
We dig and rake and plant the seed for
other timid blooms
That linger for their little while and shed
their dim perfumes,
But these old garden commoners-they
ask no special care;
They only claim what they may have OF
sun and rain and air,
And in their season bring their wealth OF
blossoms all demure-
They are the half unnoticed ones OF
whose faith we are sure.
And there be folk-perennial folk-the
kind that speak and smile
In friendly wise, and bring contentment
With them all the while;
But sometimes we may turn aside, as for
a rarer kind.
Because acquaintance makes us to the
common virtues blind.
Yet when the fair exotics shrink and
wither into dust
We fiud the sturdy common friends still
giving us their trust.
