One noticeable thing about the let
tuce beds is the absence of weeds.
This is accomplished by sterilizing the
soil. Perforated pipes are laid in the
soil and 100 pounds of live steam
turned into them. The steam heats up
the soil until it kills every weed seed
and every mold fungus. This must be
done every year and sometimes oft
ener, to keep down the fungus diseases
which would ruin the lettuce.

is used for replenishing the soil in the
greenhouse every two years. Here
again the work is eliminated by the
use of a wheeled scraper, which is
driven through the greenhouse.
The amount of heat that is derived
in a greenhouse from sunlight is
amazing. Even on winter days it is
not necessary to fire unless it is
cloudy, for the glass concentrates the
suns rays and warns the house. Snow
was melting off the roof of the green
house the other day and the sun was
making the greenhouse plenty warm
and two ventilators were open at the
top, too. There are two SO-horse
power boilers to heat the greenhouses
when necessary.

keep books and charge all debts and
credits, so they know what results they
are achieving.
AS practical illustration of what
can be accomplished under these con-
ditions the experiences of Stephen
Hyde of Carthage, Nc, are herewith
given:
For several generations the boys of
young Hyde's section of the country
chased the cottontail over rough,
forbidding knoll near the edge of
Carthage. Raising rabbits and provid-
ing hunting ground for the boys
seemed the only thing that scrubby,
rocky hilltop was good for. So, when
young Hyde bought it and began grub
bling up sumac and digging out stones
to make market garden there his
friends thought he had more energy
than sense. Now they agree he has
plenty Of both, for Hyde today has the
biggest lettuce farm in the state and
has made a big success.
Spanning these ten years is one of
the most interesting stories of success.
Hyde started with the customary CAPT
tai of youth and determination and
one hotbed. Now it would take at least
five figures to write his rating and his
lettuce is still buying things for him.
However, a great many Of his neigh
bors do not realize the extent of his
success, for Steve Hyde is a modest
and reticent man, and with the mem
DRY of his rough looking knoll still in
mind they perhaps would be astounded
if he told them that one hotel alone

since l moved here" He was stand

of lettuce an eighth of mile long.
In one corner of the big glass house
was half acre of carnations, but they
are only a side line. 1t is his lettuce
that paid for the greenhouse plant
that cost $4,000, and lettuce paid for
the two modern country homes that
adjoin the greenhouse, and a lot of
other things besides.

DOR present wear and for early
spring the draped silk turban is to
the fore with more strength as a
demi-season hat than ever. 1t is
nearly always "in the running" when
the race of styles comes on. This
season the vogue of draped hats and
the new high-side shapes have made
for the popularity of the all-silk turban.
Two pretty examples of rather dash
ing modes. are shown here. In one of
them a long turban frame with
moderately small crown is draped
with messaline satin in amethyst
color. The folds of drapery follow the
lines of the frame, sweeping upward
at the left. There is very little regu-
larity in these folds. Two about the
coronet are fairly even, but otherwise
they are freely draped, but follow the
lines of the shape closely at that.
The turban is finished with two
quilts in shades of amethyst. They
are poised to carry out the upward
sweeping line at the left side.

shown in the second figure. The brim
is covered with irregular folds of the

raised high at the left side by an ex-
tension of the shape over which the
silk is draped. Little turbans of this
kind are close fitting and very becom-
ing This particular style is suited to-
youthful wearers, while the longer
shapes, with less pronounced tilt in
the pose are liked for matrons.
There are so many turbans of silk,
made in SO many ways, that the most
conservative as well as the most dar-
ing models are to be found among
them. For trimming, little nosegays
of small flowers, or ornaments of jet
or bows of velvet or of ribbon, seem
most appropriate. Jet, with silk, adds
much to the brilliance of these hats,
and small, gay flowers or fruits give
them the requisite touch of color
Cleverness in the management OF
drapery is the characteristic virtue of
hats of silk for earliest wear. 1t is
not as easy as it looks, by any means,
to drape shape without getting
clumsy effects. That it has been &C
complished in such variety of ways
speaks well for the ingenuity of de-
signers and trimmers.

credit covered" is the proper verb
to apply to so remarkable a pathway.
London has 80 miles of subway,
Paris so, and New York itself a great
er mileage. But these subterranean
passageways were each dug in the
vicinity of common center. There
was no long haul from metropolitan
areas to complicate the problem of
supplying materials and labor. 1t
would not be possible, of course, to
travel 80 miles in one direction in any
of these systems.
The Romans were great builders OF
aqueducts. One of their works is sale
to have extended more than so miles
below the surface. But in capacity
and cost, and perhaps also in perma-
nence of construction, they can be
credited with nothing that equals the
marvels of this time. In addition to
skyscraper structures and aircraft
that fly above the clouds, marvellous
achievements underground are includ-
ed in the present advance. Wild fowl

Pockets Are Promised.

Thanks to skirts becoming more
voluminous about the hips, women are
to have pockets in their dresses again.
But will the new pocket relieve them
of the necessity of carrying bag? APP
parently not, for since the pocket was
taken from them years ago the num-
Der of articles they usually carry about
with them has enormously increased.
Here, for instance, is what woman
generally carries in her bag:
Two handkerchiefs, one smelling
bottle, one pencil, one purse for cop
pers, one purse for silver or gold. one
small mirror, one powder-puff encaseG
In silk bag, or one leather, and one
small bottle Of sau-de-cclogna.

~ HE big and too snowy hair orna-
i .ments-introduced early in the
season--failed to find following, in
this country, at all events, but the
hair, hairdress and hairbands with
feather ornaments, every one likes.
!. A style suited to both brunettes and
blondes may be studied in the picture
given here. The hair is waved and
combed high at the back. 1t is ar
ranged in long puffs and coils at the
crown, and is curled and worn in fiat
ringlets over the forehead and ears.
70 is noticeable that the hairdress
nearly always demands that the fore
head be fairly well covered. A small
light fringe of hair across the middle
of the brow is becoming to most faces
and does away with flying and strag-
Cling ends of hair in q way that is
most agreeable to those who possess
fluffy and obstinate hair.

fine wire are joined at the back with
an ornament of pearls. The orna-
ment supports a very full pompon of
uncurled ostrich feathers. This gives
the finishing touch to a toilette de-
signed for full dress.
The same hairdress with band of
narrow velvet ribbon decorated with
rhinestones or studded with steel is
pretty for afternoon wear. Black vel
vet bows wired and outlined with
tiny rhinestones are conservative and
always effective.
There is much charm in the sparkle
and glow Of the mock-jewels which
are used in hair ornaments Little
jeyeled buckles and bands and all
sorts of jewel-encrusted feathers are
among the seasons offerings to those
who appreciate how much they en-
nance the appearance.

To Make kioae Wear.

If you wear silk hose you may be in
terested in this article. A splendid
way to make silk stockings last longer,
to really wear to fragile, as college
girls say, is to wear under them a
pair of Isle stockings or an old pair of
silk stockings. The heels and toes of
the under pair may be cut out, being
careful, however, not to cut beyond
the toe of The slipper. or if one is rath-
err hard on stockings these may be left
in and will act in the nature of toe
guard.
Very thin and inexpensive silk hose
can by this means be made to look like
heavy expensive ones. 1t is also very
much warmer for the winter weather
and if worn when dancing will save
many a young girl blush of shame
over the condition of her silk hose at
the end of the evening.

Waterville, Wash.-Douglas county,
Washington, is combining scientific
farming with the regular course in it's
high school.
A. L. Rogers of Waterville, who is
responsible for this innovation in pub
aic school work, is firm believer IN
utilizing the schoolhouse and public
utilities to the fullest extent all the
time. He combats the custom only to
allow use of schoolhouses and grounds
for the specific purposes for which
they were originally intended, which,
he argues. does not give the greatest
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1914-03-19

possible use of such investment. He
cites as illustration that James j. Hill
of the Great Northern railroad discov-
cred locomotives did not need to rest,
as the contraction and expansion occa-
stoned by allowing them to cool off
injured them more than if they were
kept in operation, SO he hired extra
crews and worked the locomotives
day and night, doubling the capacity
of their usefulness. The same princi-
pie applies to the public schools, Mr..
Rogers contends. He thinks the
schools are turning out young men
with education that is not practical to
fit them for the work they must come
to. So Douglas county has taken adj
vantage of a recently enacted state
law, which permits counties of Wash
tngton to accept the United States
governments appropriation Of 500
per month toward hiring of farm direc-
tors for schools. Douglas county will
stand the rest of the necessary ex-
pense of farm directors salary and
will pay him $4,000 a year. An 80
acre tract adjoining the new high
school has been leased for SO years,
and last summer the boys got their
primer lesson in agriculture. Consid-
cradle grain was raised and some veg
etables and fruit The schoolboys of
Douglas county will be given every in
centive to become proficient in farm
ing. Each boy is given an acre of
land to cultivate and the most prof.
cient boys of the entire class are
given supervision over ten-acre tracts.
In this way competition is keen and
cash prizes add to their interest in the
work. Douglas already has notable
