ONE WAY TO
MAKE MORE CORN,

One 81 The main reasons why Louisi
ana does not grow more corn per acre
is that few acres planted to corn have
4 good stand. Frequently the stand is
bat half what it should be. A man
sets out to plant his corn two feet
apart n the drill, and he gets it three
Or four feet apart. The average farm
er VIII be surprised If, at the last Guilt
walton, he counts the number If good
stalks IL a 4Ol-tnot row, and finds out
IN that way lust what sort of stand he
really has.
The main causes Of poor stands are
the use of seed poor in quality and
weak in vitality; planting too deep,
and not narrowing after planting and
before the corn comes up; the depre-
datiOns of black birds crows, and field
mice; ard the ncfariOus work of the
corn :Oot-wOrms No ear should be
used for planting that does not look
clean and healthy, ana feel solid when
grasped by both hands and given a
twist. She cob should not be mouldy
and the kernels should not have
shtunkcn or pointed tips Ordinarily.
corn should not be planted more than
n ~ l!jSIl1N hI1#i, dbtl LIi' iShNiSi VI
more compact the soil IS, the shallow
er should the corn be planted. Soak
ing seed corn in tar before planting
does not seem TO protect It against
BIRDS. The shot gun is more effective.
Fall and winter plowing Of corn land,
under all weeds and vegetable
matter, aud winter disklng of the land
are the best means probably OF fight
ing The root-worm and other pests OF
the corn field.
TO show how important it is to have
a good stand, the following table is
given. The figures refer to one acre,
and give the yield in bushels when T.
ounces Of sheiled corn are made to
each stalk. This amount of grain cain
be obtained from one goodsized ear

In Elaborate Effects They Gar
: niSh the New PetiiCOats.

The vogue for fringe on outer gar
ments has tended to stimulate interest
in fringe trimming for petticoats, says
the Dry Goods Economist. While this
form of finishing was brought out last
season it was not featured to any ex-
tent, but there is now larger showing
of ruffies edged with fringe.
Messaline, satin and taffeta skirts
show the tiounees trimmed with bands
of contrasting colors In some in
stances they are arranged in pointed
fashion, but the more popular style is
the band arrangement Colored inserts
in V, square and diamond shapes, APP
piled to the wide flounces, give bright
touch of color to the dark shade of the
garment.
Petticoats in pastel shades and white
show wide lace flounces, in some cases
extending almost to the knees BY
way of variety the white satin skirt
with this filmy rufie has q colored lin
ing under the lace. This extra piece
Ia made of soft china silk and but
tons under the lace ruff1e, so that 1t
can be taken out when a different col
or is desired
Messaline, satin and taffeta petit
coats are featured generally for the
special sales These materials are
shown in Dresden and striped pat
terms, but the plain varieties with fan
cy colored fiounces are more in evi-
denee.

The New Sleeves.

1t is the popularity of the fichu
which is responsible for the new
shoulder line or, rather. armhole that
no one likes and yet which every one
is evidently going to wear. 1t is the
ugliest kind and comes with bad grace
after the graceful peasant sleeve, with
it's charming simplicity.
The shoulder line runs down over
the arm for three inches, and the
sleeve is gathered there into an arm
hole that is ungainly in its size even
if nothing else made it ugly. 1t is
said to be difficult to fit
Even the lingerie waists have long
sleeves, perceptibly larger than for
years. and are gathered into a tight
fitting cuff at the wrist and finished
with two inch plated ruffie of lace
or lace edged material.
