HIGHLY PRODUCTIVE
SEED Is BEST KIND
Farmers Often Make Mistake oil
Securing Grain Adapted to
Different Soils.

(By c. o. CRAMER. Indiana Experiment
Station)
1t has not been very long since
most farmers thought 1t necessary to
send outside of the state to get what
they called better strain of seed.
Often they bought worse than they
originally had, for 1t frequently came
from q different latitude and a diff.
ferent soil. They therefore had either
low yield or else they possibly had
a large yield, quite poor in quality.
The best kind of seed for a given
locality is that which is highly pro.
ductive and which requires the en-.
tire growing season and no more to
mature. Seed too early or too late
for given section means either small
returns for labor expended or consid.
cradle loss from damage to the crop
after harvesting.
Many farmers now see the impor.
lance OF seed improvement by selec
ton, special breeding plots, and grad
ing. They now regard seed improve
ment of as much value as the selec-
ton of breeding animals. So we have
in this state at present a good many
men who have improved strains OF
corn, oats, wheat. clover and timo
thy and other seeds that are bette,
adapted to the sections in which theJ
are grown than those from any othef
state.
Some states have cooperative pro
ducing and distributing organizations
patterned after those Of Sweden and
Canada. but Indiana has not up to
the present time undertaken anything
of this sort.

USING P0IS0NS TO
KILL APPLE APHIS
Extensive Tests Have Been Made
by Entomologists of Agri-
cultural Department.

The effectiveness Of different con.
bination with other substances in kill
ing the green apple aphis has been
made the subject of extensive field and
laboratory tests by the entomologists
of the United States department Of
agriculture as reported in Department
Bulletin 27S. Extensive experiments
were made with 40 per cent nicotine
sulphate, kerosene emulsion, anthra-
ceen emulsion, naphtha soap, both
alone and in combinations.
In certain cases in order to pro-
vide stomach poison In combination
with an aphidicide, arsenate of lead
was used in connection with the nico-
tine sulphate, and both arsenate Of
lead and arsenate Of calcium were
used with kerosene emulsion without
lessening the killing action of the mic.
otine sulphate on aphides.
II was found, however, that where
arsenates are combined with kero-
sene emulsion they should not be
mixed and allowed to stand for over
o day or so, since there is a slight
breaking down of the soap.
According to the results Of these
experiments 10 per cent kerosene
emulsion should prove effective
against the green apple aphis. The
kerosene emulsion made either with
&C per cent stock, 10 per cent, or with
naptha soap and cold wateE seemed
to kill all the green apple aphis.
The 40 per cent nicotine solution. with
dilution up to / to 1000 combined
with soar, were likewise effective
aphidicides.

Red Oak.--A number OF erroneous.
reports from various sources over the
state have been disseminated Of late,
relative to the gravity OF the scarlet
fever situation in Red Oak, but the
facts show that there is no cause for
fear on the part of the people Of this
city and vicinity.
DR.. l.. A. Thompson, special health
officer, and DR.. Velura e. Powell, med

fever situation is well under control

no cause whatever for alarm. There
have been no new exposures develop
in the schools and in fact at no time
has the situation been as serious in
the schools as it has been outside.

same width covers the outside of this
foundation. A single row of rhine
stones is sewed along the center of the

LINGERIE MAKING.

The art of making lingerie at home
has changed greatly in the last few
years. There was a time when any
woman who liked to embroider could
have lovely lingerie. She could spend
spare moments embroidering handker-
chief linen or batiste or nainsook and a
seamstress could make it up, with lad
dering and beading, lace edges and in
sertion, tucks and gathers, into beau
tiful underwear.
But things have changed. in the
world Of lingerie as in everything else
Today, although we wear some en-
broidered underwear, we wear more
that is not embroidered.
Petticoats. perhaps, offer the biggest
field for the home maker of lingerie
They are quite billowy, and may be
loaded with lace and fine tucks. and
even puffs and shirrings IL one likes
to take fine stitches.
The petticoat of chiffon and crepe de
chine for boudoir wear is truly q de-
light TO the maker; and some of the
petticoats to wear with evening frocks
are also made of pale pink or blue chif-
fon or crepe de chine. with trimming of
lace, tiny flowers and ribbons.
Underbodices still hold a prominent
place in the ranks of lingerie. We wear
fewer transparent blouses this year
than last, but we have grown so ac-
customed to the charming little under
bodices of chiffon and lace and other
sheer, soft fabrics that We still wear
them. Then, too, there are brassieres,
but those we usually buy ready made
There are. however. some good patterns
Tor underbodices that are made to
serve the purpose Of brassieres as we'll,
that can be easily followed at home.
II is possible. of course, that white
lingerie will gain a place it hasn't held
for years because of the ever-trouble-
some dye situation. 1t Is getting more
and more difficult for manufacturers in
all lines to get dyes War has cut off
our foreign supply and we don't seem
to be able to make them ourselves So
more and more we must take what we
can get. We can always get white
and therefore fashion of white lin
gerie may return.
OF course with some Of the frocks of
the moment well fitted lingerie Is a
necessity; therefore we have the tailor
ed type of lingerie. Sometimes il is car
ried out in taffeta. sometimes in satin,
sometimes in cotton cloth. 1t is dis
tinguished by simplicity and perfect
fit.
