FALL FLOWING

although one of the most expensive
things man can do is to attempt to move
SOIL, yet the art OF blowing is little under
stood and generally imperfectIy done.
The fact that the operation is so expensive
probably is responsible for many Of the
improvements on the pillow, which has de-
veloped from pointed stick drawn by q
man to the present steel design.
II is quite essential that this most inn
portant OF farm operations be done right
and be done at the best time. There ia
no time like the present. Fall blowing
has so many advantages over spring plow-
ing that there is little excuse for the wide
awake farmer delaying this operation
until next spring.
!. Although the fall season is busy. II
is usually not as busy Is the spring.
II we delay blowing our land now, the
spring season may be late, and May will
md US with the work still undone.
2. Fall blowing aids in conserving
moisture for the next season. Conserva-
ton OF moisture may seem like idle talk
since the present deluge has made the
wells run over, but next season may be
decidedly opposite, and now Is the time to
prepare for it. Ifthe land is not turned
over until spring, layer Of turf will OBJ
struct capillary sction, and prevent the
moisture from rising to the feeding roots
OF the plant.
8. Fall blowing aids in rotting any
material turned under and makes more nj
1t available for the next season.
4. Fall blowing gives the atmosphere
better chance to work into the soil.
5. Fall blowing allows the frost to act
and aids in liberating plant food.
8. Fall blowing is recognized as one of
the most effective means OF controlling
witch grass.
Z. Fall blowing exposes insects living
in the ground over winter, such as wire
worms and grub worms to the action OF
cold weather, and many are killed.

Don't wait until next spring before
thinking where you can get good seed.
Home grown seed Of strong vitality is
better than any you can buy. Start that
seed selection now. 5ave the beans which
ripened earliest and were most heavily
podded. Look for the stalks OF corn with
two or more we'll nlIed ears, and select
potatoes for next seasons planting by
saving as seed, tubers from hills where
not less than six good potatoes may be
found. Seed thus secured will cost less
and give by far better results than any
you'll be able to buy, and good seed is
sure to be very scarce next spring. Insure
yourself against crop failure ard dis
appointment BY starting your seed selec-
ton now.

The day of the high class and brll- liant sweater and the snappy sport coat is with us. Racing meets and other assemblages of people who are in a position to make the styles into fashions reveal the bright-hued sweat CT and sport coat, worn with more than complacency, especially by the younger people. Over thin white dressed and with white sport hats and white footwear there is crispness and fitness to the occasion in such ap- parel that makes an instant appeal to the younger set.
 New conditions bring about new cos tuning for occasions where formerly only strictly dressy toilettes were in vogue. The sweater and the sport coat are at home in the automobile, and the only kind of millinery that will with stand the speed of the open car is that designed for it, hence the sport hat and the auto bonnet.
 But the brilliance of color in these comfortable outer garments makes as gay an assemblage as ever gathered in glad raiment in days gone by. Cerise and gold. lacquer red and royal blue. mustard and amethyst, and most vlvfd and classy of greens, and the sparkle

The lingerie hat is made of fine, sheer, cotton embroidery, lace or net, and forms a special kind of midsummer millinery which reappears each year. The same kinds of embroideries and laces that are used for making lingerie gowns or fine underwear are used in the construction of this very elegant millinery; hence the name by which 1t is designated.
 The lingerie hat has been in greatest demand among those who require sev- eral hats for each season, and is one of those types made for the "exclus- i've trade"-that is, for those who can afford to indulge a taste for special millinery to suit special seasons. They i are by no means inexpensive; but it is the work required to make them, | rather than the materials used, that makes them bring very good prices.
 Two lingerie hats shown in the pie. ture given here are of the picturesque ] type. At the left wide embroidery of sheer batiste Is shirred over frame smoothly covered with chiffon. The row of shirring lover small cord) al the base of the crown forms a fril] wider than the brim of the frame which falls prettily beyond the brim edge and drops more at the back thar elsewhere. Here, from under the brim. loops and long ends of narrow ribbon, in light color. hang nearly te the waist line.
 But the striking feature in this hal
The Green Forest tribune., 1915-06-11

lies in the trimming. Two poppies, made of the embroidery with millinery stamens at the center, are posed ex- actly on top. This is an audacious DO. sition, but warranted because of the excellence and beauty of the flowers. One cannot get in the picture the sheerness of the embroidery which makes the blossoms look like delicate ghosts of the flaming flower they copy.
 The second hat, of the small poke bonnet type, is made of allover em broidery and narrow val lace. The frame is covered with blue crepe, and this forms facing. The upper brim and crown are of the embroidery in an open pattern. A frill of narrow val lace finishes the edge, and there is a collar and hanging ends of black vel. vet ribbon. Little clusters of pink June roses and blue forget-me-nots are set about the base of the crown. Noth- ing could be prettier, worn with the midsummer frocks made of sheer white cottons, or those that are gayly figured.

0t black and white combinations give one a wide choice whether the taste is quiet or gay.
 The Worumbo sport coat shown here is in black and white, cut on easy and rather vague lines. It is drawn in little by wide belt of the fabric at the normal waist line White silk braid is used for binding the collar and cuffs. Two large and very practical pockets add definitely to the charac- ter of the coat. The convertible collar may be turned up about the throat and buttoned to place.
 The hat, of white corduroy velvet, is trimmed with a band and cockade of white ribbon. White gloves and shoes, either of kid or canvas, are in keeping with the rest of the toilette and complete midsummer garb that is thing of beauty and joy for all outings.

 Benton county assessments are 'he lowest in the state, according to Y. E. Brown, chairman of the Arkansas Tax Commission, who addressed a letter to George N. Gearhart, assessor of the county, requesting him to make a more adequate assessment. Wash ington county has the second lowest assessment, and letter is to be fer warded to the assessor of tha. county.
 According to government census figures, farm lands of Benton county in 1910 were valued at $14,968,935. This includes lands under cultivation or under fence and does not include wild lands, which the commission es- inmates to be valued at $416,210.
 "The total land value, according to the government figures on farm lands and our estimate on wild lands, is last year were assessed at only $2.- ti04,371, or 169 per cent of their 'ralue," said MT. Brown. "The assess !nent is far from fair, as other coun- 'ies are assessed at much higher fig ires, and the average assessment of he state is 40.4 per cent of the real value. We will insist that assessors In counties where assessments are so low make higher assessments. Let- ters, following the circular letter ask ing for 50 per cent assessment, are to be sent to assessors in counties which have made such low assess ment.
 An instance of the unfairness in assessments is shown by a compari- son of Washington Crawford coun- ties, which adjoin. In Washington. county lands are assessed at 22S per cent of their value. while in Crawford County they are assessed at 435 ger cent.

.ludge Jacob Trieber in the United

Judge Jacob Trieber In the United States District Court granted an in junction against the enforcement of an order issued by the Arkansas Rail- road Commission requiring the Frisco railroad to pay rebate on ship ment of rice from New Orleans to Fayetteville The rice was shipped to Helena over the Yazoo and Mississip- pi Valley railroad, where the con- signee, the Ozark Grocery Company, had it reshipped over the Iron Mouh- tain and Frisco railroads, after pay ing the freight to Helena. At Fayette- vile the Frisco refused to release the shipment until the company paid the interstate rate. The company ap- pealed to the commission and month Frisco to rebate the difference pe tween the intrastate and the interstate rate beween Helena and Fayetteville. Members of the commission said the case will not be appealed.
 "The rate on rice from New Or leans to Helena, 309 miles, is 10 cents per 100,' Commissioner w. F. Me Knight said. "The rate charged in this case between Helena and Fayettee vile, 325 miles, was 2S cents. There have been a number of similar cases and the commission intended to is sue orders to cover them. The gro cery company involved in this case Is not inclined to pay for an appeal and the commission has no funds for that purpose The consequence is this rate will be charged in the future"
