carefully. as it is poisonous both 10
mon and live stock. Until a ram or

zion. it might cause trouble, although
il would have to be taken internally
to do so. Special conditions decide
which of these three substances is
most desirable.
Fucl oil. when it can be obtainoa
cheaply, is highly satisfactory ana
economical for killing vegetation u
should be applied at the rate or from
100 to 150 gallons per acre ON a

be used satisfactorily as the totai

petroleum products are particularly
effective on grass and other Negeta-
tion possessing narrow leaves.
Several Light Applications Best.
The most economical and effective
way to use the oil is to make num-
ber of comparatively light applica-

cations kill the foliage each time and
eventually the roots die.
A spraying outfit may be used to

Common salt is not so effective as

and should he used at the rate of from
two to three tons per acre, depending
upon the ranSncss Of the growth. The
salt should be fine grained, free from
Jumps and should be scattered very
uniformly. To secure the best results,
It should be made into a saturated So

FARM FACTS.

Those who till the soil are the chos-
en- people Of God.
Farming is as old as the human
race and is yet in its infancy.
Success is bound to come to the far
mer who plans while he plows.
No civilization has ever advanced
beyond its agricultural development.
No farmer is successful who thinks
more of his barn than he does Of his
home.
The development of the farmer him
felf must precede the full develop
| ment of the ground he tills.
The most beautiful fact in the far
mer's work is that everything he
plants is a lesson in faith.
The best farmer does not bother
about getting ahead Of his neighbor;
his great business is to get ahead of
himself.
We must give to the people who 1--we
on the farm the same educational ad-
vantages for their children as those
that the cities enjoy.
The country clergy is an agency of
much potentiality because the rural
life movement is religious as well as
industrial and social.
There should be a social and an in
dustrial, survey of every community.
The pastor, the teacher and the school
and church officials are they who
should make such a survey.
In recent survey Of community
in New England, the average annual
income of 154 farmers who have COM
mon school education was 1929, while
the average net income of 122 farm
ers of the same locality with high
school education was $482 annually.
This was worth to each farmer who
possessed it $25S each year.

Feminine Fancy Turns
Toward Wider Skirts

shows an overwaist in basque effect
made in velvet, worn overa long
sleeved futile guimpe and with a skirt
whose tight-fitting foundation shows
through a flimsy, shimmering tunic Of
futile.
Chemise dresses inspired by the
moyen age frocks are being worn in
discriminatory by stout and slim alike
sometimes with dire results. A
frock which hangs like sacque from
the shoulders to the heels is scarcely
becoming to q well-developed figure,
whose charms may be displayed in
many Of the other smart styles. But
when donned by. q slender woman
whose charm is youthful buoyancey,
it is irresistible. These gowns give a
silhouette quite different from the
conventionalized one Of the day, aptly
called the plumbline silhouette. Satin
seems to be replacing taffeta in pop
ularity of the public, but serges and
gabardines are continuing their vogue,
and for the tailored costume nothing
is quite so smart. Usually braid in
various widths, plain in weave, binds
and trims these suits.
The new style Of dress called the
coat dress, with its waist resembling a
coat, yet fastened to the skirt, thus
making a one piece dress, is admir-
ably adapted to this mode Of trim
ming. These dresses are having a
tremendous vogue in Paris and no
doubt are a forerunner of suits with
long coats.
The jumper waists which are worn
over guimpes of futile, organdy and
chiffon suggest charming and prac-
tical way of remodeling an old gown
into the newest styles. These jump
ers are made in figured and plain
material, with edges bound and
wrinkled carelessly across the hips,
Sometimes they are finished with a
sash of the same fabric, and again
with sash of richly contrasting
color.
Sashes are a happy thought for
summer and winter dresses, as they
permit the use of bit Of rich color
to charm the eye and please the color
sense. The mummy sash which
swathes the body, twined from the
hips, if artifcially used on slender
figure, is most effective.
The bottoms of tunics and skirts
are cut in points, scallops and squares
bound with bias strips Of silk or with
woven braid. This is unique finish
which adds distinct style note to a
dress, and one which is often easier
to accomplish than to turn q hem or
add a facing.
The vogue for materials in striped
effects, such as golfne, corduroy, cord
ed velour and fancy striped woolen
fabrics, has given an added zest to
the use of that staple standby, pique.
1t is used in combination with linen of
both light and heavy qualities; for
