If bee finds suitable patch Of flow

that heavy materials do not exceed from

wider skirts of lighter weight material,
know no limit to the yardage.
The waist line is slightly above the
normal in some Of the tailor suits and
separate coats. Collars are high and hug

prominent.
Sleeves are snugly fitted at the top, set
In at the regular or extreme shoulder
line, though certain types show unex-
pected fullness at the top.
Fur, braid and embroidery are used

Modified circular, pleated effects and

IF FARMERS
IS ASKED
Department of Agriculture Has Asked
for More Accurate Information Con-
corning Crop Acreage and Number
of Live Stock.
(By United Press Association

Madison, Wis, April pa. W. Kali
bus, head of the Statistical division of
the Department Of Agriculture, has
asked assessors, farmers and breeders
to cooperate with his division in pre-
senting more accurate information
concerning acreage of crops and num-
Der of live stock in the Badger state.
Many farmers seem to be Of the o.
pinion that statistical information is
desired for taxation purposes, and in
consequence it is believed that asses
ors have not been given accurate in
formation in the past.
The Importance Of giving accurate
in formation is especially urged up
on farmers and breeders. Unless the
information they give the assessors
is accurate, there can be no correct
figures showing acreage of crops and
the number of live stock.
In giving acreage of crops farmers
should not only include acreage plant
ed or sown when assyGsments are
taken, but they should also include
that which will be planted or sown this
year.
The Statistical division of the De-
partment Of Agriculture is making
every effort to present accurate Stats
tics, but it is powerless to do this I'M
less there is full cooperation on the
part of farmers and assessors.
Full cooperation means accurate
information showing the Importance
of the vast farming and live stock in
terests Of Wisconsin.

1915 State Fair, September II to &c.
There viii be q separate camp for
boys under supervision Of the Y. NJ.
C. A, and a separate camp for girls
under supervision of the Y. W. C. A.
Plans for these encampments are
being made, and it is expected that
meals viii be furnished at cost, be-
tween thirty and forty cents a day, and
sleeping accommodations free of
charge, in tents.
During the hours the boys and girls
are not engaged in work of their de-
partment, they will be taken in squads
to visit other departments, and out
door and other amusements will be
provided for their entertainment.
All rules laid down by the Y. NJ. c.
A and the Y. w. c. A. must be strict
|ly obeyed. These rules will have the
approval of state fair officials.
The official physician will be in
charge of sanitation of both encamp-
ments, and proper care viii be taken
in the selection and preparation of
foods.
The encannpnents are to be provid-
ed for the reason that many boys and
girls who compete will not be accom-
panied by parents or guardians. The
state fair officials desire that they be
surrounded by proper conditions dur
ing the time they are carrying out the
work and competitions of their de-
partment. Parents may rest assured
that their sons and daughters will be
properly cared for during their stay on
the fair grounds.
It is too early to estimate the num-
Der Of boys and girls who will COM
pete, but it is expected there will be
nearly 1000 boys and perhaps 200 OF
more girls.
Prof. Thomas L. BeWick, of Univer-
sity Of Wisconsin,, is superintendent OF
this department, and he is assisted by
fifty well known educators of Wiscon-
