WE MUST STOP OUR LANDS
FROM WASHING AWAY,

When a hard rain comes, does it cut
your cultivated hill fields full of little
gullies? Does muddy water run down
these little channels and into the
creek or the roadside bitches? Are
there few big gullies cut through to
the hard unbroken soil?
Where these things happen, the
farmer is losing the best part of his
soil and losing it forever He will have
to pillow and harrow and fertilize and
manure and grow legumes to replace
the fertility which the streams are
carrying away. The writer has seen,
as have most readers, fields so badly
damaged by one hard rain that years
of work would be required to restore
them.
1t is evident to the man who thinks
that this process Of soil destruction
can not be allowed to continue-cer.
tainly not to the extent it has taken
place In the past To let our lands
continue to wash away is to prepare
for ourselves or for our children a
time of hardship beyond anything we
have ever known. The time will come

when this land will have to be re-
deemed and the man who has to re-
deem such land, and to depend upon
! it for a living while he does the work,
is going to do much hard work for
very little pay.
We must stop the washing of our
lands-not only the great devouring
gullies which bite away acres of cult
waited land and leave barren wastes
in its place, but also the little often
unnoticed channels down which the
water runs, carrying with it the best
part OF the soil. 1t is no easy task, as
anyone who has tried it knows. Per-
haps soil-washing will never be en-
tirely stopped, but we must at least
reduce it to such point that our hill
lands will get better instead of poorer.
There are many things which will
help, but no one thing which may be
called a remedy. 1t is a task for all
the years the land is cultivated, not
thing to be done once for all.
Many lands could be saved from
washing simply by judicious rotation
of crops with decent and a winter
cover. To crop any land at all rolling
year after year, until the soil is robbed
of all vegetable matter and has be-
come dead and lifeless, is to invite
gullies. Terraces will solve the prob
lem in many cases-not weed-grown
banks and ugly bitches, but low broad
swells of earth, or real terraces one
above another.
The hillside ditch may be necessary
in some cases. Tile drainage will yet
solve the problem for thousands of
acres, the writer feels certain. Other
thousands which men are now trying
to tend will have to be put into grass
or replanted to forest trees. Indeed.

MADE FROM BANDS OF FUR
Coiiarettes That Have Become the
Rage Are of What Seems Some
what Queer Combination.

Smart Parisiennes are wearing col
larettes of fur combined with lace or
velvet These are wonderfully pref
ty and add just the correct touch to a
gown Or coat suit.
Short strips of fur, just long enough
to encircle the throat and too small
to use for any other purpose, are lined
With white satin.
Pleated frills of lace are then
stitched by hand on both the top and
bottom of the fur band. Three hooks
and eyes join the collarette at the side
and a bow or rosette of lace, with ends
eight or ten inches long, coneeals the
fastening.
Strips of fur n or two inches in
width cea be used effectively to Dor
der a center strip Of velvet or fur.
A lovely combination Is ermine and
sapphire-blue velvet. Stitch the mar
row strips of white ihr to the band Of
velvet and border it with knife-pleat-
cd THIS Q1~Selyet or tulle. Use white
-ed to line the %collarette and finish
the closing with a fiat bow of velvet.
Perhaps you have a strip Of mink
three inches In width. II so, stitch 1t
to a band of seal-brown satin. Make
two pleated frills of the satin and
stitch them to the top and bottom of
the collar portion. When the hooks
and yes have been attached to the
ends. finish the closing with a pleated
bow Of satin caught through the cen
ter with a buckle OF pearl, cut steel
or Jet.
Many women possess a worn set OF
946rs which can be cut into strips and
= tilted In this manner. Small hats
with puffed crowns of velvet and mar
row brims Of fur are lovely when fash
toned to match the collarettes.
Any woman would be delighted with
a gift Of a stunning collarette.
