NELSON WRITES FARM ARTICLE
Assistant Secretary Of Board Of Agri-
culture Tells Of Missouri Farming.

Where Side-Line Crop Wins
Wealth. by W. L. Nelson, assistant
secretary of the State Board of Agrl-
culture, is the leading article in a re-
cent issue of The Country Gentleman.
He tells how counties of Northwest
Missouri are becoming famous as great
tobacco raising centers. Probably the
best known of these is the Weston
Dearborn district.
The farmers in this district, he says,
are breaking up good blue grass sod
and planting tobacco. Tobacco when
handled properly brings larger net
returns than other crops. Large barns
are being built for the curing and
grading of tobacco. The best growers
deny that tobacco is a soil robber.
They say that the advantage OF grow
ing tobacco is that it fits lands for
other crops and leaves an ideal seed
bed free from weed seed.

NEW YORK, May 29.-To be natty
this summer you must be netty. This
for ruffles and fiounces. They must be
constructed of soft tilmy fabrics to es-
cape being bulky. Consequently along
with organdie and Paris muslin, the
all-over-net dress holds the center of
the summer sartorial stage.
One of the prettiest models in the
net is reversion to midVictorian
days. with the skirt simply charming
series of six ruffles from the round
baby waist down to the ankles. The
waist is a loose blouse with set-in
sleeves ending in froth of three
ruffles at the elbow. The open throat
is finished with a narrow suffle which
meets at the bust line and contjpues
in double file down to the waistkcoat
girdle of soft rose taffeta. All the ruff
fles are edged in rose-embroidered
scallops. 4
Another effective frock of Simple
lines has long tunic of pleated net
over an underskirt of net which is also
pleated and caught just above the
knees with a crush sash of soft satin
tied with a four looped bow in front.
The crush girdle is of the same soft
satin. The waist is also pleated and
untrimmed with V-shaped low neck
and tiny short sleeves.
These net frocks are prettiest TN
white, but in soft shades of maize, blue,
pink, lavender. and sea-green they are
very desirable. The fiowered net with
tiny nose-gays or pink rose-buds scat
tered over a white. blue, flesh, or maize
ground is very quaint and lovely made
up in shepherdess style. The combi-
nation of a pannier skirt of fiOwered
net opening up the front over a flower
ed petticoat of cream lace, the peasant
bodice of the net over quimpe of the
lace with ruffled elbow sleeves is
piquant.
Flesh-colored hose with velvet
pumps, a narrow black velvet ribbon
tied around each bare wrist and rose
trimmed leghorn hat of shepherdess
shape held under the chin with black
velvet ribbon completes an enchanting
ensemble.
Leghorn hats, by the way, are in
high favor this summer, either in
flOppy garden hat shapes or the chic
tilted bandeau models. All are, of
course, flower trimmed that do not run
to fruit. Wheat combined with flowers
is considered very smart.
Fashion has come out fatty with the
decree that the really smart parasOls
must be fiat as their Japanese prOto-
types, many ribbed and edged in gay
bobbing balls, fringes and tassels of
silk and beads, ruchings of silk and
ostrich feathers. Many of the more
frivolous are entirely cascaded in tiny
ruffles of chiffon and all are as bril-
liant of hue as modern dyers can de-
wise.

"Unlawfully and wilfully passing
through a toll-gate to avoid paying

against o. Harrellson, who lives north
of Columbia. He was arrested yes
terday The offense alleged against
him was committed the day before.
J. A. Wilhite, gate-keeper for the
Blackfoot Gravel, is the complaining
witness. He claims that Harrelson
refused to pay the toll when 1t was
demanded and drove his automobile
right on past the gate.

road Is not up TO the specifications
required for the receipt Of toll Is ex-
pected to be his defense. The case

Farmers That Agents Are Needed.
By United Press
WASHINGTON, May 29.-The coun-
ty farm agent or adviser continues to
be the leading topic of discussion
among the progressive farmers. De-
spite the convincing experience of
many states notably Missouri, that the
county expert idea is the greatest boon
to agriculture, farmers continually ask
the department of agriculture:
rs the agent needed" The depart
ment devoted pages in its current
Farm Management Monthly" to prove
that he is needed. 1t replied to the
criticism that the farm press, the in
stitute and the bulletins meet the sit
uation satisfactorily by stating that
the purpose of the agent is not to take
he place of any other form of exten-
sion work but to supplement and help
all other forms.
Instead of one institute year. as at
present, with the agent there can be
twelve and he can help the farmers
apply the lessons of the institutes. The
expert agent can apply the suggestions
of the bulletins and the farm press. He
can see that these are sent to farmers
who need them.

be different from that of last year:
Firsts will count 5; seconds 4; third

events are in a way the most important
since the intercollegiate began. Penn

property of the team winning it five
times, may become the property OF
either the Ithacans or the Quakers
