Fruit Rot. ScIerotlnia Fructialna.--
This disease causes much loss to
plum growers by rotting the fruit and
sometimes also by destroying the
blossoms and the tender shoots In
spring. 1t is particularly destructive
in Iowa to plums of the domestica or
European class. such as Lombard, or
Spanish King, German Prune, and
Blue Damson. and also. to the Japa-
nese plums. II finds easy entrance
to the fruit through punctures made
by curculio or other insects. 1t may
be partly controlled by fighting the
curculio thoroughly and by spraying
with lime sulphur.

Plum CurcuIlo.--This insect makes
a puncture in the tender young fruit
In which 1t lays its egg. 1t then cuts
a crescent flap around the puncture,
making a Characteristic wound. The
egg soon matches into a larva, COM
monty called "a WORM" which feeds
upon the fruit and often causes 1t to
drop prematurely. Often the wormy
fruit starts to rot before 1t drops and
thus helps to spread the rot fungus to
other fruits. Spray with arsenate OF
lead, using from pounds to 4 pounds
to so gallons just before the blossoms
open and again as soon as they fall.
Two weeks later spray with 2 pounds
arsenate of lead to so gallons. Paris

NO ARBITRARY
POINT is SET
FOR WAIST LINE

Il t isn't often such a substantial and
\ necessary adjunct of feminine APP
parel as the waist line is allowed the
restless perambulations this season
has permitted: and 1t seems no near
er becoming settled and stationary
affair than II did three months ago.
Indeed. its restlessness appears to be
daily increasing
.Candidly there Is absolutely no stat
Ing where the most fashionable waist
line Is. Sometimes 1t rises high up
under the bust at empire height, while
again 1t is discovered dipping low
down. fully three and even four inches
below its normal position. In fact. in
some instances there is no waist line
to be discovered at all, except perhaps
faint suggestion at the sides where
the surplice draping OF the bodice
might be guessed to follow the sup
posed line of the conventional waist
This shifting panorama of waist po.
sitions is most comfortable laxness
for women in general. For the wom-
an who is long bodied the high waist
line Is a welcome subterfuge, while.
on the other hand, the woman who
Is long from the waist down can wear
the dropped line at the belt most be-
comingly.
One extreme example OF the waist
line vagaries was illustrated rather
sensationally In a suit shown not long
ago. when the belt line both rose and
fell In alternating fashion. The suit
was of pale blue serge with an extrav-
aganly bepuffed tunic of sea blue
satin. Beaded pendants falling from
the shore jacket were the only trim
ming. High in the front, the Jacket
closed and the tunic rose, both dip
ping together at each side and then
rearing high again at the back. The
effect was decidedly bizarre and not
to be called handsome by any stretch
of the imagination.
1t is In the smart tailored suit espe-
cially that the belt line falls 30 ex-
trayagantly low, and as there is no
attempt made these days to enforce a
small waist measurement there is &C
cordingly no protest made on the part
OF the women against the added

FERTILITY VERSUS
SINGLE CROPPING
Potato Growers May Well Bene-
fit by Experience Of Wheat
RaiSers of Wisconsin.

(By C. L. FITCH. Colorado Agricultural
Coliege.)
When Illinois and Wisconsin, Min
nesota and Dakota and other western
states were put under the pillow. the
chief crop was wheat. After fifteen
or twenty years of wheat growing In
southern Wisconsin the crops dimin-
ished seriously, and about war time
the yields ran so low because Of dis
ease that wheat growing was aban-
doned as a failure.
After almost a generation OF dairy
ing and the exclusive reliance upon
corn, oats. barley and clover, wheat
was tried again, and the yields are
now larger than in the pioneer days.
This offers parallel to the growing
of potatoes in southern Maine In the
earlier days, their virtually going out
and now their larger production
again.
After the experience of 1911 and
1912 the potato growers of many re-
gions in the Rocky mountain states
will do well to consider If they have
not already reached for the time be-
ing at least the passing Of their crop.
Persistence is good thing. but not
always better than wisdom.
