are of white shantung silk trimmed
at the edges with bands of plain col

a bright touch which is very refresh

EXTRA EARLY TOMATOES

One of the most important factors
in growing extra early tomatoes Is
the securing of good strong seed of
the best adapted variety. The
Sparks Earliana is general favorite
and sure TO produce reasonable crop
of fairly smooth early fruit.
The seed should be sown in a
greenhouse, hot bed or window
box just as early as conditions will
permit. For extra early valleys
January will not be too early. The
first week OF March is a safe date for
most districts.
AS soon as the plants have their
fourth or fifth leaves or are two to
four inches high, transplant to a
flat a shallow box of convenient
size to handle). A flat twelve by
fifteen inches will hold from $50 to
us plants.
The plants may remain in this flat
until the weather will permit setting
in the field, or better yet can be
transplanted to three-inch flower
pots. bottomless tin cans or small
paper tubes, three or four inches
high and two to three inches in
diameter. Paper tubes can be made
out of building paper (not tar or
any heavy paper that will roll and
he firm The tubes can be held in
toothpicks.
Soil for tomatoes should be well
prepared, not too rich but rich
enough to produce good plants. A
light sandy loan is preferable to a
clay soil and a southern exposure
from a week to ten days earlier
than northern exposure. Before
transplanting to the field the
plants should be hardened off" in
a protected place.
| personally prefer plants that
have been grown in individual tins
or pots and want them from eighteen
inches to two feet in height the kind
that are called ''leggy' To plant
Ieggy tomato plants, dig a trench
about six inches deep and long
enough TO bury the ball or roots and
half to two-thirds of the stem. Per-
NIT only four or five inches of the
plant to project above ground. Make
the soil firm over the stem and be
sure to have the horizontal stem
under ground parallel with the row
so the cultiyator can not disturb it.
Roots will form along the stem and
make strong, productive plant.

sion, State College of Washington.

The dressier suits are made OF silk

color. The coats are generally mid

Besides the Norfolk coats, the
loose, straight-hanging box coat is
one of the models that promises to
be very much favored. Some of these
are quite short. They are very stun

pearl buttons for contrast, is used
for these coats

coat Is twice belted, part of the low

to the cuffs This, of itself, pro-
vides sufficient trimming in some
models.

problems confronting the fruit grow

that of diyersifying his orchard in

maintain his family 50 that during
the favorable years his profits need

COAT SUITS MAY
RETURN WITH SPRING
Norfolk and Box Goats Among the
Smart Models--Accessorie TO
Freshen Winter Frocks

II has been matter OF conjecture
whether coat suits would return to
favor with the spring, or whether
the long coats by which women have
stood firm and steadsast all through
the winter would continue to satisfy
their needs in spring.
One would naturally conclude
that a coat suit in spring would be
welcomed by most women after the
heavy. long coats of winter. But the
question is still to be settled. In all
probability there will be as many
coat suits as separate coats worn
when spring comes. Some very
jaunty models are being shown now,
and many of them have coats in Nor
folk or semi-Norfolk effects with
plain or plested skirts.

THE FARM LOAN ACT
AND FARM TENANTS

(By Frank r. Wilson, Federal
Farm Loan Bureau, Washington,
d. c.
Students of American agriculture
have been greatly concerned over the
remarkable increase in farm ten
antry.
Years ago, when land was plenti-
full and cheap, tenantry was almost
unknown. The man who wanted to
farm simply went out and purchased
cheap land or settled on government
land. Practically all of the land was
farmed by owners.
When the supply of cheap land be
came exhausted and most of the land
occupied, there was no longer an out
let for the increasing number of
landless farmers. Consequently,
those who wished to engage in the
business were compelled to dicker
with those who already held title to
the lands. The result was a rapid
and astonishing increase in the value
of lands Farm land ownership now
represents billions of dollars in land
values which constitute positive bar
to the getting of farm homes by land
! less farmers.

The question is frequently asked,
IF the farm loan act provides cheap
er money for land purchase, will il
not make it easier for some men to
get credit to monopoliZe land, In
crease land values, make it harder
for the tenant farmer, and perpetu-
ate and broaden the tenant system?''
The answer is, that the privilege of
borrowing under the farm loan act
is denied to any except actual farm
ers. 1t is denied the landlord ana
the Spectator. Furthermore, the
size of the loans is limited to $40, 900
to check the tendency toward too
large farms and land monopoly.
So, it will be seen that the farm
loan act gives to the rich no addi-
tional advantage in buying land, but
does give an added advantage to the
landless. 1t exerts its financial pres
sure, and will always do SO, in favor
of actual working farmer ownership
and against absentee landlordism or
the holding of lands out of use for
speculative purposes.
But it has been frequently asked
how a credit system that lends only
up to so per cent of the value of the
land enables the tenant to buy a
farm if the tenant has not saved the
other so per cent.
To this man the avenue for acquir-
ing the other so per cent is the sec
ond mortgage, given either to the or
iginal owner of the land or to a pri-
vate money-lending agency. Flnan-
cial men predict that under the farm
loan system the second mortgage will
take on a new value.
The tenant who wants to buy land
indicates what land he intends to
purchase when he joins the farm loan
association Then when he gets his
loan up to SO per cent of the value he
pays that down to the original owner
OF the land. Then he executes a sec
| ond mortgage to the original owner,
this mortgage to come due, say, in
10 years. The first mortgage under
the amortization plan will be gradu-
ally reduced each year and the re-
CURED payments Hereunder will be
so small as not to menace the ulti-
mate security of the second mort
gage. This will be an advantageous
arrangement for both parties.
The original owner will get so
per cent cash payment for his land.
which is more than he would ordi-
narily get in a real estate transac-
ton. The tenant will find that, I'M
less he has paid an unduly high price
for his land, his annual payments to
retire both his first and second more
cages will not be as great as the rent
previously paid.
In some of the states second mort
gage banks are already being formed
by private individuals to lend money
to landless people of proper char
acter who want to buy farms and
who have not saved the so, per cent
as nest egg. 1t is believed by
financiers that men with farming
ability and integrity will not have
difficulty in getting the proposition
financed. 1t depends altogether on
the character of the borrower.
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1917-03-09

The use of ribbon as a dress trim
ming is also quite a novelty. 1t is
used to finish the new collarless
necks and sleeves, and also trims the
skirts of afternoon and evening
dresses. On separate waists, too,
ribbon is often introduced as a trim
ming detail.
