Already ribbon departments in the
big city shops have begun to add new
luxuries, in the way of dress acces-
sories, to their displays. Which
means that the first signs Of Christmas
have arrived, for there is no part Of
the store which feels it's influence more
than the ribbon section.
Bags and cushions appropriate to
themselves just now are the major part
of the now shOwings. They are gorgeous
affairs made Of rich ribbons that are
brocaded with gold and silver threads
and in the warm deep cOlors of today.
But bags are long story in them
selves, and there are so many Of them
it's recital might be continued and con-
tinued, but never concluded.
Among the prettiest dress accessories
are little over-bOdices and negligeeS,
the latter of lace or net and ribbon.
One of the bOdices is shown at the
center of the picture. 1t is made Of
light pink, brocaded ribbon and is sup
ported by shoulder straps. There is a
folded girdle of the ribbon at the waist

CULTIVATING TREES
TO KILL INFECTION
There Is No Positive Cure for
Root Rot-LiVes in Soil and
Hard to Destroy.

Replying to an inquiry as to the cause
of fruit trees dying, DR.. r. Ell. Forbes,
director of the Arizona agricultural
experiment station, says: $50 far as
I can tell from your letter it looks as
though your fruit trees were affected
with root rot, which attacks the trees
at distance below the surface of the
soil and works up to within few
inches of the surface, when the trees,
being deprived of their root system,
suddenly die. This disease is favored
by over-irrigation and lack of cultiva-
tion, these being conditions which re-
suit in insufficient aeratiOn of the soil.
Inasmuch, therefore, as root rot
thrives with insufficient aeratiOn, the
best preventive measure is to apply
sufficient, but not too much, irrigating
water, and to cultivate thoroughly aft
er every irrigation. These precautions
will contribute materially to the health
of the trees. There is no positive
remedy that can be suggested for dis
eased trees and the infection, since it
lives in the soil, is very difficult to get
rid of. Irrigate with care, therefore,
and cultivate thoroughly in order to
lessen the damage as much as possible.

1t is wonderful how big part is
played by cleverness of designing in
the making of attractive clothes. Prob
nbly the women who get the most sat-
isfaction out of their personal belong
lngs are those who have comparatively
small incomes to spend on themselves.
They must exercise their wits, ana
they become observant; they learn to
achieve style. This is more than some
very rich women seem able to do.
Apropos of this, there are very ele-
CANT and inexpensive matched sets, Of
two or three pieces, among the smart
accessories which the woman of small
means uses to great advantage. Hats
and neck pieces, or sets that include a
muff, made to match, possess what
the merchandising world calls "class."
These sets q clever woman will have
no trouble in making for herself. They
are usually combinations of velvet and
fur, or velvet and silk for dressy wear,
or other materials for sports wear.
A two-piece set is illustrated here,
including a turban and scarf made Of
velvet decorated with fur bands and

are to color well. If, after worthless
wood is removed, the tree still seems
too thick, some thinning may be done,
but too much wood should not be re-
moved at one time. More satisfactory
results will be obtained if three years
are allowed in which to put the tree
into satisfactory shape. If possible,
however, some of the center branches
should be taken out to give the sun
light an opportunity to get down into
the tree and color the fruit.
"As the tree grows in it's natural
state, there is a balance between the
root system and the crown, or that
portion above the ground. When a
large amount of wood is taken from
the tree, as in the case of heavy prun-
ing, this balance is disturbed. The
root system remains the same, but
there is not enough wood above ground
to utilize the plant food which the
roots have stored; consequently, in
the following season large number of
watersprouts will be put out by the
tree.
eff the tree has been high-headed.
with most of the bearing wood at the
top, and this you have removed in
sary to start some new bearing wood
in the lower part of the tree. This can
be done by making use of the water
sprouts. Unless they are too thick, it
is we'll to leave most of them for the
first year, but they should be cut back
to three or four buds. By this method
you will provide leaf surface enough
to take care of the plant food which
the roots are sending up, and the cut
ting back of the watersprouts will
cause them to develop fruit spurs.
Thus the bearing wood may be
changed to the lower part of the tree.
'"The second year the undesired
watersprOuts may be removed. Those
which you wish to save for permanent
bearing wood should be left about II
inches apart. The watersprouts which
later appear and are not wanted, may
be rubbed off when they are small
buds. Clipping the ends of the
branches will force out new growth
further back on the limb and will also
have a tendency to make the branch
thicken, thus enabling it better to sup
port the weight of crop of apples.
Every branch should be cut as close
as possible to the limb from which it
is being removed. The greatest care
should be taken not to disturb any
more of the fruit spurs than neces-
sary as it takes long time for these
to develop"

shoulder strap.
For the hair there are the usual hair
bows Of plain taffeta or faille ribbon,
often having a narrow satin border,
for young girls. There are hair orna-

terfies of velvet ribbon that may also
be used for the corsage. There are sew
eral kinds of bows and ties of narrow
velvet ribbon, and there are many cor
sage roses both in satin and velvet.
Roses and violets are shown for table
decorations, also, and the newest ar
rivals for this purpose are ribbon pop
pies and ribbon tulips. The poppies
are arranged in baskets, but the tulips,

finished with ornaments. Dark brown
velvet, in strip about two and half
yards long, is lined with brown satin,
and band of beaver or other fur Is
set on at that portion of the scarf
which wraps about the shoulders. This
fur band is also lined with satin. The
ends Of the scarf are trimmed into
points. Where the fur terminates the
scarf is gathered up and sewed to
a metallic or beaded ornament.
The turban is simple but original
affair with a band of fur about the
coronet. About half yard of velvet
is folded crosswise to form the crown.
1t is sewed together along the selvage
edges, and wired. The raw edges are
sewed into the cOrOnet. An ornament,
like those on the scarf, finishes this
odd, attractive hat.
Pretty sets for skating or other wear
in wintry weather are made Of elder
down or white chinchilla. They in
clude a plain scarf, cap, and muff.
Heavy white zephyr yarn is used in
their finish and decoration, and SINH
lar sets are made in bright green, light
brown or rose color.

CONTROL OF CLOVER

Light Pasturing Will Dispose of

ing upon the clover. The specimens
submitted with these letters show that
the damage is being done by the larvae
Of the clover leaf weevil.
AS yet there is no successful meth
cd of controlling this pest, but the fol-
lowing methods will ALLEVIATE the trou-
BILE to some extent.
Lightly pasturing the clover will dis
pose of many of the insects, for they
will either be eaten by the stock or
be killed by tramping. Lightly clip
ping the clover with the moving ma
chine will also help, but it has the dis
advantage that it is possible for the
worms to live some time or until new
growth has started, by feeding upon
the clippings that have fallen to the
ground.

How to rejuvenate an old orchard
so as to get real money out of it,
was told by DR.. J. III. Merrill of the
entomology department of the agricul-
tural college at recent meeting of
the Kansas State Horticultural society
in Topeka. Doctor Merrill said in
part:
'The first steps to be taken in re-
juvenating an old orchard depend
upon the time of the year when the
work is to be started. If in the
winter, pruning will come first, but
if in the spring, spraying. It is bet
ter, however, to start with pruning,
as this will greatly simplify the spray
ing which is to follow.
''Every tree is an individual prob
lem. There are few general prin-
ciples upon which man may work,
but the solution of the matter is f.
nally dependent on the growers own
judgment. 1t is well to keep in mind
q general idea as to the kind of tree
you desire finally to get. The presence
of a large number Of dead, diseased
and broken limbs which must be re-
moved will upset plans to a certain
extent, but this can be largely over
come by eventually forcing new growth
into these vacant places in the tree.
"Every man has his own idea as
to the best way to prune tree. An
effective method is to begin at the
lower part and work your way up
ward, removing all dead, broken, dis
eased and overlapping limbs on your
way up. After reaching the top of the
tree, you are in a position to plan how
to make tree out Of what Is left. If
the tree is old, the chances are that
it is high and therefore impossible to
spray thoroughly. The limbs are usu-
ally too weak and slender to support
many apples and it would cost more
than the apples were worth to pick
them, if there happened to be any.
Therefore, while you are in the top
Of the tree, head back these high
limbs to such height that they may
be easily sprayed and that fruit can
be picked economically.
''Each cut should be Slanting, so
as to shed the water, and should be
made just above lateral branch. If
the cut is made in this way, the lateral
branch will serve to draw up the sap
and the wound will heal over nicely.
It is generally acknowledged that the
best apples are borne at the top Of
the tree, but wouldn't this be just as
true if the trees were Is instead of SO
feet high?
Sunlight is necessary if the apples

KEEPING UP THE MILK FLOW
SiIage, Grain and Hay Should Be
Fed to Cows When Pastures
Beqin to Run Down.

In order that best results may be
secured, silage, grain and hay should
be fed to dairy COWS, now that the
pasture fields are furnishing less feed.
Corn is cheap and efficient addition to
grass, if the pastures are dry when the
corn is green. If the milk flow once
goes down it is almost impossible to
raise it again before the next freshen-
ing period. If good barn is used-less
feed will be required and better re-
suits will be secured.
