.,..Ousn 1ne neWspapers We ieurn
that the Navy league is asking for
sewing kits for the marines now In
training for service in France. The
league calls for $500 of these sewing
kits and they are inexpensive and
easy to make; so here is an answer TO
the question at the beginning OF this
article.
The marines call sewing kit n
"hussiff," which is the marines way of
saying housewife" And before we
get through making sewing kits we
are likely to find "hussiff" has been
added to the English language and to
have TO look in the dictionary for its
derivation.
The "hussiff'' is made of cotton
khaki and sewed with red thread. 1t

and has five pockets 312 inches deep

he continued, "to pass the good word

at is a velvet season" say the mil
liners, and the displays of new MILL
merry for fall leave no room in the
mind for doubling this assertion. Plain
and panne velvet dominate all the
showings. Hatter's plush, with sur
face much like panne velvet, is rep
resented, and heavy velours and duve-
tyn--both velvety in appearance-are
In the running. In plain velvet and in
velours and duvetyn the quiet, rich
colors approved by fashionables are
at their best. Panne velvet and hat
ter's plush both look best in black and
white and in the darkest shades of
sedate colors, to which they add bril-
lance.
Trimmings are very simple and not
permitted to interfere with the lines
of the shapes in any way. Fancy fea-
lures, including ostrich, ribbons and
ornaments, are relied upon for deco
rative features. Small ostrich tips,
used in groups, are returning after an
exile of several seasons, along with
draped turbans of velvet, and they
look so well together that there is a
sort of kinship between them. 1t is
hard to think of velvet without being
reminded of ostrich. Wide-brimmed
hats with a fringe of ostrich laid upon
the upper brims have already made an
assured success.

The wild, or native blackberry vine,
is not so plentiful as II once was. There
are fewer old fields, fewer brown-up
fence rows, fewer picturesque rail
fences with corners to shelter them
from the pillow. With the passing of
the wild blackberry vine market for
the product of the bigger, sweeter and
altogether better, domesticated black
berry is opening.
Not many, even among the small
fruit growers, have paid great deal
OF attention to the growing and mar
keting Of the blackberry, writes w. G..
Blosser of Indiana in Farm and Prog
ress. They are fairly hardy and bear
most seasons, but, like their wild cous-
ms, they are badly injured by late
frosts. 1t Is estimated that an acre
OF blackberries will produce something
like 5000 worth OF fruit In a year.,
and there is always a real sale for
them.
Good Market for Berries.
1t is likely that there will be good
market for them for long while in
the future. They ripen at time in
the summer when fruit is comparative
ly scarce . and therefore desirable.
There can be no question about their
popularity. Cafes, hotel dining rooms
and first-class restaurants everywhere
are glad TO get blackberries of good
quality. They are the raw materials
for just the sort of pies liked by city
man and farmer alike. AS to their
preserving, canning and cordial max
ing qualities, those are too well known
to need comment.
In the last few years large num-
Der of good varieties have been de-
veloped. One of the few diseases that
cause any trouble in a blackberry
planting is cane rust. This is hard to
overcome, but can be got rid of by
cutting out all the diseased canes as
soon as the rust spots are seen.

Hazel was at loss TO make n choice

one that would thrive in any soil and

she choose? Either was pleasing TO

essary. II the legume is planted In
a certain field and the roots develop
no nodules, incubation will be need
ed but If nodules are found on nearly
every plant, then incubation will not
be necessary.
Where cowpeas and clovers have
been grown for many years, 1t is not
necessary to inoculate them except
under special conditions. On the
other hand, alfalfa, sweet clover and
soy beans, because they have been
less extensively grown, usually require
incubation. Any legume crop will be
benefited by incubation when planted
on a given field the first time, and
sometimes Ii may be advisable to in
oculate common red clover, though 1t
is not considered new crop in many
states. When a field has once been
inoculated with particular strain of
Notwithstanding bacteria no further in
oculation is needed for the corre-
spending legume If 1t is resown in
that field within four or five years.
Usually each legume has it's partic-
ular strain of bacteria and no other
kind will form nodules. Alfalfa and
sweet clover are an exception, and the
same kind of bacteria lives on both
these plants, consequently alfalfa can
be inoculated from sweet clover and
sweet clover from alfalfa. Vetches
and peas also cross-inoculate and one
crop forms nodules in the soil where
the other has recently grown. These
two cases are common exceptions,
while other legumes, such as cowpeas.

particular kind Of bacteria, and form
no nodules by bacteria from other
crops.

pared to furnish inoculating material
