whoever started that tale about trans
parent chiffon vests being popular for
men this spring, made up the story from
something fhmsier than chiffon.
The real story about styles for spring
vests. learned from a member of the
International Custom Cutters Associa-
ton, in session at the willard, is this:
The vests will have no backs at all
this year.
Inst why fashion should wreak its
most radical outrage upon the vest
is not known. The vest has represented,
heretofore. the true emblem of mans
rise from saVagery. lie began thinking
about vests two weeks after the fig
leaf girdle was designed.
For the truth, though, the vests will
have no backs at all this summer. A
waist strap will hold ii down and a
stran across the back Of the neck will
hold II I'D. The rest Of the back OF
the vest will be a memory. Great for
comfort, the designers say! The people,
having no voice in the matter, will,
therefore, wear backIess vests.

Wheat, oats and rye. while they are
among the crops pastured most, are
not good for summer pasture. Ao-
cording to Mr.. Kenney, rape Is one
OF the best supplementary pastures for
hogs in the summer, as 1t can be
sown at any time between April 1 and
July 10. 1t should be sown so as to
give pasture when it is most likely
that the pastures will be deficient.
A good field of rape will carry from
ten to twelve 1OO-pound hogs, and It
is possible to start pasturing 1t from
six to eight weeks after sowing. II
rape is sown early 1t is possible to
pasture 1t through the middle of the
summer and again late in the fall. IL
the season is not too dry. Rape tends
to cause scabbiness on the nose and
the ears Of hogs, especially IL II IN
pastured when wet. This, however IA
not a serious trouble, Mr.. Kenney be-
lieves.
Sorghum is also a good pasture for
the summer time, but should not be
pastured until it is from a foot to a
foot and a half tall. The period in
which sorghum may be sown is not
so great as that in which rape may
be sown, but it may be planted so az
to provide pasture during the hot, dry
part of the summer, when other pas

GROWING HOGS NEED SUMMER PASTURE

Hogs should be well provided with
a good summer pasture, and this is
the time of year to arrange for such
a pasture. Ralph Kenney of the
agronomy department of the Kansas
State Agricultural college says it Is
of particular Importance that some
kind Of supplementary pasture be
provided this year; for according to
many reports that are coming to the
college, the native pastures seem to
be of low vitality and are starting
slowly this spring.
The pastures most commonly used
for hogs, especially in Oklahoma and
the southern part Of Kansas, consist
of alfalfa, wheat, oats and rye. AL.
falfa is one of the best. 1t will carry
from eight to twenty hogs to the
acre, depending largely upon whether
1t is upland or lowland alfalfa. Some
farmers prefer not to pasture a field
to It's fullest capacity. They cut for
hay what the hogs do not eat.
This method of pasturing Alfalfa is
very satisfactory, Mr.. Kenney says
for the hogs do not seem to waste
much of the alfalfa, and there is less
danger Of killing the plants than is
the case when the alfalfa is kept
closely pastured. If the year is ia.
vorable, alfalfa will furnish pasture
for six or seven months, provided II
Is not pastured 700 heavily.
