SMALL AREA IS CULTIVATED

Only 20 per cent of the tillable
land of the United States is actual
ly under cultivation, according to
estimates of the department of agri-
culture, based ON reports of 5000
correspondents. These reports were
obtained in ordny to gain informa-
tion as to the tillable al ca of the
United States. Furthef inYcstiga-
ton in the far western states may
modify the present estimates for
those states
The entire United States exclud-
ing foreign possessions contains
about 1900, 600 900, acres. of this
area about 60 per cent or 1,l4O,-
000, 900 acres is estimated tillable;
that is, capable of being brought
under cultivation by means of the
plow.
A total of 36l, 900, 900 acres
or 10 per csnt is estimated to be
non-t!llable but valuable for pas
ture an fruits. Only 81 per cent,
)r 9 $4,000, 900 acres, was estimated
to be of no use for agriculture
present or future.
For every 100 acres now titled
about 375 may be titled when
the country is fully developed.
In Nevada the total land area is
given as 70,0O0,O0O acres. Of this
acreage II per cent is declared to
be available or titled crop, II per
cent is declared to be available for
agricultural uses requiring no till
age and>66 per cent is given as nom
agricultural land. Only / per cent
of the area was in crops according
to the 1913 census. Four per cent
of the and potentially ti.lahle was
in crops in 1909.
For the United States as a " hole
60 per cent of the total area is
capable of tillage; a further 10 per
cent is available for agricultural
purposes not requiring tillage and
p per cent is nou-agriculturaI.
The percentage under cultivation
according to the 1909 census is l6.

Nj ight band made OF net finished at
tie top with three tucks, shown in the
picture, is suited to the woman with
slim, long neck. Below t.a tucks
row Of tiny, Jet beads Or French
knots make pretty finish .and lessen
the apparent width of the collar.
The jabot attached to the band is
of finest shadow lace and Stimulates
tichu ends. Black velvet ribbon out
lines an opening at the throat where
the fine net Of the collar Is let in
in small narrow "V." The jabot is
finished at the bottom with a little
velvet bow. Very small festoons Of Jet
beads fasten the upper ends Of the
velvet to the neckband. They mark
the point Of the "V" and are placed
on the little bow.
Still more cleverly designed to the
needs Of too-slender neck is the
other collar and jabot. 1t Is made Of
lace and black satin. The band is q
straight piece of lace with the seal
loped edge folded down like a turn
over collar. The jabot Is Of the same
lace cascaded to the front. Two
shaped pieces Of satin are cut out
and lined with fine muslin or null.
They are sewed to the collar and
upper part of the jabot and finished
with French knots in blue silk.
The graceful sailor collar Of lace
and the net collar with frill Of lace at
the front are new patterns In these
popular neck pieces. The net collar
is double with insertion and edging In
q fine Cluny pattern Of inexpensive
lace. This collar is quite new In de-
sign and combines the advantages a

AREFUL attention to the finishing
details of the toilette is mark Of
distinctive dressing. This is apparent
in the matter or neckwear, and new
ideas are advanced constantly by
manufacturers of this important ac-
cessory of dress. A style is introduced
and makes good with the public, be-
coming fashion. Its manufacturers
then vary it to suit women Of various
types and ages.
The sailor collar and fichu motifs
have predominated this season, and in
Vulnerable changes have been the re-
suit of their inspiration. But they
are designed for the attractive and
Youthful neck and must be adapted to
those who do not possess round,
plump throat.
A guimpe of perfectly plain, fine net,
with high, smoothly fitting collar, is
worn by the woman whose neck Is not
slightly when bare. This net is 80 fine
and so we'll fitted that 1t Is as smooth
as the skin and smoother.
Besides the fichu and sailor collar
ideas there are many small rancy
bows. ribbon flowers and Maine orna
ments for wearing as finish at the
neck. Jabots are always worn and
when they are not featured are re
placed with frills finishing the ""
shaped opening at the neck OF blouses
They are especially becoming to slen
der women, and the fine laces IN STYLE
at present make beautiful ones.
In designing neckwear those wht
produce It must consider how to make
1t becoming, and women In selecting
It must consider whether 1t Is suit
able or not for them. The jabot witt
