Dress Distinction.

In business office which I some
times have occasion to visit there are
over q dozen typists and stenographers
some of them very pretty. But a. I
pass through their department. my eye
always rests with pleasure on one trim
little figure. I don't suppose by the
canons OF beauty she would be judged
as particularly pretty; certainly she il
not AZ pretty ~ some Of the other
girls. 1t 10 the taste and distinctive
ness OF her simple but attractive little
OFFICE rig which makes her stand out.
MY little typtst has red hair and
sray eyes. and she builds her clothes
out OF gray and green. Perhaps she
may vary this at home, but / have
never seen her wearing any other COL
or in the office.
The last time I saw her was in win
ter: She had on a gray flannel shirt
an exceilently fitting tailored skirt Of
slightly darker gray. At her throat
was g. bow of the widest Kelly green.
That was typical OF her winter cos
tumea I'm summer she usually wears
some simple little frock Of soft kreen;
or Of gray with a touch of green.
Nothing she wears Is expensive It
couldn't be. Her salary is by NO means
large and she may not spend 1t all
upon herself. But by selecting these
extremely becoming colors and stick
ing to them. she has created for her
self a style Of her own. She il dis
t1ncttve. She stands out among girls
who have moro expensive clothes and
a great many moro of them.
D1stinct1veness in dressing is fine
art. You may follow the styles to a
reasonable extent and yet have q dis
t1ncttve style OF your. own IL you will
put enough thought and taste into the
matter.
There II never anything old fash

her clothes distinctive. Gray and
green stand for her in peoples minds.
They are her trade mark. and since
they suit her SO well. very attractive

I know several people who have
adopted some kind of clothes trade
mark and I think It is an excellent
idea I believe I have told you about
the girl who never appeared without
some touch Of scarlet. Another girl
whom I used to know in college al
ways wore a beautiful string of corals.
In my mental picture of this girl the
corals are almost as much part OF
her as the sweet pale face, the gray
eyes and the soft, dark hair. She al
ways wore the colors with which coral

appearance which comes wildly back
to me across tho years. though prettfer
faces and handsomer xrocks than hers
are quite forgotten.

might they just as we'll belong to
someone else?

money. The price you pay for It il

A reader wishes to know how
mitch the yield Of corn is de-

cording to the Southern custom,

The decrease in yield of grain

will depend on the size Of the
yield and the stage at which the
fodder is pulled. If the corn is

Wk:k the corn is green, the loss
may be as much as 10 or bushels

weight. In one test in Missis-
sippi the loss from pulling the
fodder and topping was 13.5
bushels, if my memory serves we
right. On the. other hand. if the
yield is lighter and the crop al
lowed to more nearly approach
2aturity before the fodder is
pulled. the loss resulting from the
removal Of the leaves, or leaves
an tops, may be very little. An
ay.'sg, of several experiments
in a number of Southern states
with corn averaging about %
bushels per acre gives loss of
around five bushels per acre, due
to pulling the leaves off before
the corn has matured. When
this loss of corn and the cost of
pulling the fodder and later
gathering the corn are compared
with the cost of cutting ana
shocking and the large amount
of forage secured by this latter
method there is no question
about it being Improbable to pull
fodder.--The Progressive Far

BE SURE TO ATTEND THE

We wish to urge, too, that you
begin right now to jot down the
points you wish discussed, and
then, if the speakers do not cover
them, ask questions freely. Bear
in mind. however, that most of
the institute workers should be
and are specialists, and that it
may take three or four Of them
to answer all your questions.
just now winter soil-improving
crops-clovers and vetch partic-
ularly-are topics of intense in
terest to the wide-awake farmer.
and we would suggest that you
make the institute the occasion
for getting all necessary informa-
ton for success with these crops.
Then there will be the veterinary
and livestock men, who will dis
cuss og cholera and how to pre-
vent it with the serum treat
ment; how to eradicate cattle
ticks, animal diseases, and feeds

crop men, who will discuss corn
and cotton, fertilizers and cult
walton; and possibly men who will
tell how to combat insect enemies
and plant diseases. In fact, the
store Of good things awaiting us
at these meetings is so great
that we simply cannot afford to
stay away. Still another point
we would emphasize is that these
meetings are more and more be-
coming a source of instruction
and entertainment for the entire
family. This year in North
Carolina a number of capable
women institute workers will be
in the field, and the idea is gain
ing favor in other Southern
states. Why not arrange for the

SOUTHWESTERN REFLEC-
TONS,

Again the time has come to EN-
phasize diversitication and croF
rotation. Many thousands OF
acres OF corn is maturing on the
farms of Southwest Louisiana
which is a mighty good thing
because 1t spells one form of di.
versification.
But even so, it should be re-
membered that a big corn crop
draws heavily upon the soil, and
unless the elements that 90 to
produce corn are restored to the
soil, the land grows poorer from
year to year.
Much of this fertility can be
retained if the farmers would
only SOW cow-peas in their corn
because the cow-pea draws nitro
gen from the air and stores it in
the soil. 1t is a cheap and most
satisfactory soil builder.
Still there were hundreds of
farmers in Southwest Louisiana
who did not plant cow-peas be-
cause they were too dear. AT
the highest price ever known
cow-peas are cheaper. value con-
sidered, than any form of CON-
mercial fertilizer, and it is
far cheaper to buy them
and it is far cheaper to buy them
at the most exorbitant price than
it is to try to produce corn with
out them.
There are other legumes and
nitrogen bearing plants which no
real farmer should overlook.
Crimson clover, red clover and
vetch do well here. while lespe-
deza grows wild throughout
Southwest Louisianan.
In September many of the most
successful farmers plant oats,
and no farmer should be With
out an abundant acreage this fall

Fertilize your land and prepare
it well before planting and you
will be agreeablv surprised at
the results.

ant harvest in May.

The latest statistics on babies

The latest statistics on babies
are certainly interesting. 1t is
estimated that 100000 babies
We're born into the world last
year. This rate means about
seventy per minute, and if the
cradles were arranged side By
side, the line would extend
around the world. A well known
writer and authority puts it thus
interestingly:
Imagine the babies being car
ried past a given point in their
mothers arms one by one. and
the procession being kept up night
and day until the last hour IN
the twelfth month had passed 'oy.
A sufficiently liberal rate is al
lowed, but even in going past at
the rate of twenty minute, 200
an hour, during the entire year
the reviewer at his post would
have seen only the sixth part OF

In other words, the babe that
had to be carried when the tramp
began would be able to walk when
a mere fraction Of its comrades
had reached the reviewers post.

babies was drawing to a close
there would be a rear-guard, not
