When Daisies Were Vanished.

The introduction of the favorite field
flower into smart millinery. which
means high priced French hats, was
made by Suzanne Talbot a few years
ago. She took it into her clever head
that she was going to varnish every
thing she could use on hats. She used
shellac with lavish hand: ribbon
shone under its new coating; flowers
glistened and were solidified under this
shining coat of liquid: and daisies took
on somewhat the appearance of waNed
flowers under the glass covers. which
were the horror of the nineteenth CEN
fury.
This invention of Talbot was looked
upon askance by the American buyers.
but. after a while. this idea of imprison-
ing daisies under varnish rather took
the public fancy. and here and there
ii was taken up in obedience to the law
of adventure and experiment
II came il rena ined for 2 brief time
and il faded out Of exist ence, this fash
ion. and only the vanished ribbon re-
manned as a fragment Of what had once
brought to milliner many hundreds
of dollars.
Today the daisy is revived into all
kinds of millinery. It is used on the
most sedate hat of black satin: 1t is
basket straw; it is twisted into Sedate
designs and applied to white felt; and
1t is -wreathed into triangles or small
circles and wrapped around the crowns
OF leghorn hats.
When it is small, 1t is too insignif1-
cant for the hat with the brim, but
the milliners are now seeing to 1t that
1t grows into larger proportions than
nature ever allowed.

Fox-tail millet, which makes up ap-

This millet is adapted to wide

than most other hay crops. In semi
arid regions it frequently escapes
periods of drought because of its short

HARDY FOREST Trees PREVENT SOIL EROSION

Soil washing by heavy rains is prob
ably the most important cause of the
loss of soil fertility on rolling upland
farms. The amount of this loss is diff
ficult to measure accurately. Figures
obtained at the Missouri College of
Agriculture at Columbia during the last
two years indicate that as much as 5
per cent of the really fertile soil may
be lost In one year on gently Sloping
field if the surface is left bare. This
means that continuous cultivation for
one generation may result in the loss
Of all the fertile soil ON even gently
rolling land unless some measures are
taken to restore it. On sleeper lands
the loss Is much more rapid.
Some idea of the loss of plant food
may be obtained by considering the
loss of nitrogen. The supply of this
element in the soil is contained in the
organic or vegetable matter present.
Nitrogen is made available for the use
Of plants by the decay of organic mat
ter. 1t is estimated that 2 per cent
Of the total amount present becomes
available each year. 1t is this 2 per
cent WHICH may be removed by the
crops, by teaching and in the form of
gas. AS the availability of the other
elements of plant food in the soil is
closely associated with the decay of or
gaslic matter, 1t is evident that the
washing away Of that part Of the soil
richest in organic matter results in
lack of all the really valuable soil
plant food. In addition to the loss of
plant food the poorer physical cOndi-

it is quick to show the effect of dry
weather because of its shallow root
system. Compared with sudan grass,
its chief competitor, millet is deficient
both in quality and yield of hay but
the growing season of sudan grass is
somewhat longer, and this provides
greater opportunity in the latter for
injury from drought Millet is not to
be regarded as a profitable constituent
of crop rotations as it appears to be
more exhaustive of soil fertility than
small grains or corn.
In it's feeding value, the hay of fox
tail millet has been found to be ap-
prOXimately the same as timothy hay.
AS rOughage for growing stock, it is
usually regarded as somewhat more
tive than prairie hay, but not the
equal Of alfalfa or clover hay. 1t can
be fed without danger to cattle and
sheep, and sparingly and in connection
with other kinds of hay to horses. A
continuous ration of millet hay, how
ever, has resulted in injury to horses.
1t Is quite likely that there will not be
a great demand in this country for the
grain as long as wheat can be pro-
duced as abundantly as at present.
When fed as grain, millet seed should
always be ground.

ton of the soil resulting from the re-
mOval of organic matter and the incon-
venience caused by bitches in the fields
are to be noted.
The farm practices that cause excess
sive erosion are continuous cultivation,
shallow blowing, furrowing with the
slopes leaving the land bare In winter,
neglect of gullies and the exhaustion of
organic matter.
Practices tending to control erosion
are systematic rotations containing
fewer cultivated crops and more hay
and pasture crops, the gradual deepen
ing of soil by occasional deep blowing,
the use of barnyard and green manures,
winter cover crops such as rye and
wheat, and prompt attention to gullies
and bitches. Terracing and contour
farming are coming into favor as pre-
ventive practices as lands increase in

opening up the subsoil and carrying

AS lands increase in value reclama-
