NEW SOIL ACIDITY
TEST is DISCOVERED
Chemicals Are Perfectly Safe for
Layman to Handle, and Ap-
paratus Is Cheap.

What Is expected to prove more
positive test for soil acidity than the
common litmus paper test, and one
which, because of the cheap and harm
less chemicals used in it's operation,
will be within the reach Of the ordi-
nary farmer, has been devised by
E. Truog, instructor in the department
Of soil, college of agriculture of the
University of Wisconsin.
The new test, it is believed, will be
of especial benefit to county repre-
sentatives and to field agents of the
state soils laboratory, owing to the
fact that it, is simple to operate and
approximate quantitative results can
be secured in from 10 to Is minutes.
The new method consists of the ad-
dition to a sample of soil to be ex-
amined of zinc sulphide with small
amounts of calcium chloride and wa
ter, and boiling the mixture in flask
held over a small flame, preferably
an alcohol lamp. Commercial lead
acetate paper, which can be purchased
at the drug store, when held in the
fumes Of the mixture for few min
utes, will turn from light brown to
shiny black, according to the de-
gree of acidity present in the soil.
The natural color of the lead acetate
paper is white, hence the discolora-
ton can be plainly seen and will more
accurately gauge the acidity in a sod
than will the litmus paper test, now
in use.
The chemicals are perfectly safe for
the layman to handle, and the COM
plete apparatus, including flask and
burner. ordinarily will not cost more
than 81. The details of the apparatus
have not been completed. but in a
short time a more definite announce.
ment will be forthcoming.

lust the zest that is added to all
y our afternoon assemblings by the
enticing things that women think up
to clothe themselves in simply can
not be estimated. And whether these
creations are their own visions worked
out in the products of the loom or are
the inspirations of those whose pro-
fession is gown-making Is of little
Importance. The important thing is
the successful effect.
Here is a model from Gautier Of
Paris that shows how those familiar
fabrics, taffeta and net, are set to the
rhythm of the new modes as words to
music. 1t Is in black with the bodice
over white figured net and a tunic Of
net finished with broad band of silk
about the bottom.
This is the style which has COM
manded the most attention for mid
summer. The long sleeves of net, or
chiffon, are featured in the majority
Of gowns, and a tunic Of some sort is
everywhere present. This dress is
particularly cool looking and particu-
larly comfortable.
The narrow plain skirt of taffeta is
ankle length and finished at the bot
tom with a quilting of silk. There is
Tapped seam in it down the front.

"A hair is pictured here. 1t employs
the large shell hairpins that have met
with growing favor this season, and
diapenses with any other decoration
The front hair is waved about the
ace for this style and parted at the
eft side in long part extending from
the crown of the head to the forehead.
It is combed over the temples and
lies in large waves about the face 70
the cheek, just in front of the ear,
little above the lobe.
At this point the hair is turned
back and pinned at each side. Here
1t is all combed in together to make
the back hairdressing.
For this the hair is parted in two
strands and one of these is braided
loosely, or twisted. This braid is
,oiled at the back around the remain
ng strand and pinned down to the

The tunic Is rather full and rne Dor.
der of taffeta very wide. There Is
sufficient body and crispness in the
taffeta border to hold the tunic OUT
from the underskirt, and the trans.
parency. OF net over the taffeta petti-'
coat and the white bodice makes the
charmingly cool effect which is the
best aspect for hot-weather costume.
There are narrow frills of net about
the wrists and neck and very new
and cleverly arranged collar Of taft
feta which extends like fichu about
the neck, and crosses, surplice fash
ion, In front. 1t terminates at thei
back in a fiat bow.
The simple little hat worn with this
dress is of black MORE and white lace.
These are pretty items in the way OF
finishing touches to this noteworthy
costume. The handbag is Of moire,
matching the hat. Bracelets set off
the arms of the fair wearer, and one
of them is worn above the elbow on
the left arm.
The short skirt presupposes feet ash
carefully clothed as it is possible to-
have them. The stockings are plainr

are decorated with tiny steel buckles

VALUE OF ALFALFA
AND ACRE OF CORN
Placing Valuation of Two and
0ne-HaIf Times on Former
Seems to Be About Right.

A comparison of the value of the
average acre Of alfalfa with the aver
age acre of corn. brings some interest
ing figures to light. An enthusiastic
alfalfa raiser claims that one acre of
alfalfa is worth two and half acres
of corn. This looks like rather large
estimate but little work with pad
and pencil shows that the enthusiast
has not overdrawn the comparison to
any great extent.
Forty bushels of corn to the acre is
a rather generous estimate, and an
average price of 60 cents per bushel
is good. Figuring it this way the crop
will be worth $24 Giving the stalks
q valuation Of 81 we can say that
the entire product of the acre Of corn
amounted to $25. An ordinary acre of
alfalfa in an ordinary season should
produce three and half tons Of good
hay at the least, and good average
price would be $3.50 per ton. Thus
the alfalfa crop will be worth $3.50.
The alfalfa will be already planted for
the next year, and the crop taken off
will leave the soil in a better condi-
ton than it found it. The crop will
have been produced at about one-third
the labor cost of the corn, and will
return to the soil much more manu-
rial value than the corr, if both are fed
on the farm. The corn will have ia
ken from the fertility of the soil and
the loss will eventually have to be
made up by growing alfalfa or some
other legume. Placing valuation OF
two and one-haf times as much on
alfalfa as corn does not seem to be
far wrong.
