weather sets in. 1t could then be plac-
ed in cold storage or in we'll con-
structed house Of the cellar pit style
with water tight roof provided with
numerous ventilatOrs for the free ad-
mission of air when the outside tenn
perature permits. This practice would
remove very materially the present OBJ
lection Of the truckers to purchasing
their seed supply subject to fall de-
livery, because under good storage con-
ditiOns the seed could be easily kept
dormant until required for planting.
Such a change would also enable the
grower to buy his seed for less money
than for midwinter delivery.
Temperature Of Storage Rooms
The temperature at which the stor-
age rooms in which seed potatoes are
usually held is maintained at from 80
degrees to 81 degrees F. 1t Is believed,
however, that "a degrees to 80 degrees
f. would be q more satisfactory tenn
perature.
For the last three seasons the gray
ity brine system Of refrigeration has
been used III the potato storage room
Of the department Of agriculture. With
this system, in which ice and salt are
used as substitute for ammonia or
carbon dioxid in cooling the brine, the
maintenance Of constant temperature
is entirely dependent upon the thor
oughness with which the surrounding
walls, ceiling and floor have been in
sulated and the attention given to re-
icing the coil tank and to observing
that the brine In the circulating coils
is actually circulating. The tempera-
ture can be raised or lowered by SIM
ply varying the proportions of ice and
salt used in the tank. Temperature
records covering a weeks time have
frequently been secured in which there
was practically no variation during the
whole period. With this system it has
been possible to keep seed potatoes
perfectly dormant until wanted for
planting.

Sweaters and SWeater-CoatS

The sweater coat has become an in
stitution as permanently placed in the
wardrobe of the modern woman as the
shirtwaiSt and the blouse are. II
started its career as a matter-Of-faCt
garment devoted to comfort alone, but
has become as much diversified as
blouses are, AMI style is an important
element that enters into its makeup
every season. 1t continues TO flourish
Dn the strength of being both comfort
able and smart.
Sweaters this season, shown in silk
variety, are made mostly in twO-color
combinations. Many of them are knit
ted 10 conform to the figure rather
snugly at the waistline, and equally as
many depend upon Il sash or belt, like
the sweater, to give them Il little def
milton of the waist. Nearly all of them
have rather ample collars and many
among them some of the finest mod
els-are furnished with pockets.
The Slip-On sweater is one Of the
sweater successes OF TINS particular
season. Its name signifies that it has
no front opening, but slips on over the
head, and it is made with and without
a sash and pockets; the silk models
being usually provided with these ex-
ira furnishings. The coat sweater is
shown in the picture with collar and
cuffs in a color contrasting with the
body of the garment. 1t is of silk knit
