GREATEST CROP OF
WHEAT IN HISTORY.

The worlds wheat crop passed the
four billion bushel mark for the first
time last year, when it reached a
grand total Of Alps, 65S, 900, according
to statistics given out by the Govern
ment Department Of Agriculture.
This is 29S,571, 900 bushels in excess
of the previous years wheat produc-
ton. The world supply just reached
the three billion in 1902, since which
time 1t has been between three and
four billion until 1913, when it passed
the latter fgpre.
The departments fgpres show that
in 1913 Texas surpassed all other
States in the value Of its crops, which
were valued at moro than $500, 000, 000
Then in order came Iowa, Illinois,
Georgia, Ohio, Minnesota, Indiana,
Missouri, Pennsylvania, Nebraska, Al
ALBANIA, Wisconsin, North Carolina,
New York, South Carolina, Missis-
sippi, Kansas and Michigan.
During the five months from July
to November last 1,934,S91 pounds of
butter, the duty on which product
was reduced under the tariff act from
s to cents a pound. was imported.
This was much more than in the en-
tire previous fiscal year, when 1,162,,
25S pounds were brought in.

cies.
The trimming Of dress, the lining
or the sash is by tar the most i'm
portant factor of the modern costume
A woman may don her husbands
gray flannel shirt, if it is lined with a
brilliant contrasting silk which peeps
out alluringly at neck and sleeves and
pocket. A white serge. or broadcloth
suit is infinitely more smart for the
addition Of a lining OF cerse, bright
green or black satin.
The growing preference for plaid In
ones costume has spread rapidly. It
is used in variety Of wayS-to suit
the individual taste Of the wearer.
Plaid collars, cuffs and pockets of
plaid will rejuvenate last years dress,
and a broad sash of it can only be
eclipsed by its cousin, the Roman
stripe.
There are plaid waistcoats which
tighten a dark serge or broadcloth
suit In an attractive way; in fact,
waistcoats are welcome addition to
the majority of the tilted jackets,
which are the ultra style. The vests
have been worn great deal during
the winter with suits of broadcloth,
duvetyne or serge. Brocaded ones
were worn with many of the dressier
suits. At a Dansant the other night
I saw young woman wearing
white crepe de Chine waist with a
separate skirt. Over this waist she
wore waistcoat Of bright Spanish
yellow, cut on the lines of mans
waistcoat-even to the strap in the
back.
Fringe is extremely Stylish espe-
cially that made from threaded beads.
1t Is seen around the edge Of tunic,
like the fringe on a lamp-shade. On
the bottom of panels and the stylish
apron fronts it may be from to 10
inches in depth.
Beads are trimming which are
very popular. Beaded motifs OF
flowers may be bought to trim the
yoke or bertha of a waist, even the
ruffleS on a skirt.
Beaded nets are used for tunics on
evening dresses. The raw edges are
left unhemmed, or they may be finish
ed with a picot edge. This is done
at almost any shop where accordion
pleating is done.
One very attractive net for a dress
or its trimming was beaded with crys-
tails and now and then leaf COM
posed of fine jet beads.
In one of the leading stores saw
black dress which was made of COM
bination of faille de laine and charme.
