covering Is determined by the sever
ity of the winters In the particular To-
callty. 1t is well to cover the pits
with straw, corn fodder, or manure
during severely cold weather.
The amount Of ventilation necessary
will depend upon the size of the pit.
Small pits containing but few BUSH
els of vegetables will receive suffi-
cient ventilation If the straw between
the vegetables and dirt is allowed tn
extend through the dirt at the apex
of the pile. This should be covered
with a board or piece of tin held In

pieces Of rough boards or stakes up
through the center of the pile of vege-
tables so that flue Is formed. This
fue is capped by trough formed OF
two pieces of board nailed together
at right angles.
Vegetables keep very well in such
pits, but 1t is difficult to get them out
in cold weather, so that when pit
Is opened it Is desirable to remove its
entire contents at once. For this rea-
son it Is advisable to construct sew
eral small pits rather than one larger

In pit by itself, 1t is better to place
a small quantity of several kinds OF
vepptob niles in the same nit so that 1t
will be necessary to open only one
bank to get supply of all of them.
In storing several crops in the same
bank it Is a good plan to separate
them with straw, leaves, or other ma
terial. The vegetables from the small
pit may be placed temporarily in the
storage room in the basement, where
they will be easily accessible as need
ed for the table.

INCREASE IN GRAIN YIELDS
LuII in Farm Operations After Har.
vesting Is Best Time to Prepare
for Next Season.

(By W. M'FARLANE, Oklahoma Expert
ment Station)
Just after harvesting the small
grains there is generally lull in the
farm operations. Then is the time for
the farmer to prepare for the next
year.
Disking up the stubble as soon as
possible after harvesting has been
found by experiment and common ex-
perience to be profitable. 1t prepares
the soil to absorb and retain a maxi
mum amount Of moisture and also kills
many weeds. Just as soon as suffi-
cient moisture is in the soil the farm
er should pillow the land at least six to
seven inches deep.

stations have found early and deep

SWARM CONTROL BIG FACTOR
Swarming Is Not Desired by Beekeep-
er Who Is Keeping Bees for
Production Of Honey.

Swarm control is an important fac
tor in beekeeping, asserts DR.. ]. FL.
Merrill, assistant professor of ento-
mology in the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college.
"The standard of successful bee
keeping was formerly set by the num-
BIER of swarms that issued during the
year." said Doctor Merrill. "Now
however, 1t is known that one colony
will produce more honey than will a
colony which by swarming has been
separated into two, or possibly more.
Thus, while swarming may be the
natural way for increasing the num-
Der Of bees. 1t Is not desired by the
beekeeper who Is keeping bees to pro-
duce honey.
'The exact cause for swarming Is
not known, although there are several
conditions which are known to stimu
late 1t. If these conditions are RENE
died, large proportion Of s~arming
will be controlled"

These are stirring times In the world
of buying and selling wOmen's apparel
Contrary to all the expectations of the
pessimists and the croaking of the
gloomy prophets, there is a scramble
for enough merchandise to sell to the
women on this continent at this mo-
ment. They have money; they want
new clothes; Paris has sent alluring
costumery quite In keeping with our
spirit of wartime dressing; the shops
are crowded, and the bulk Of the buy
ing has gone to the people who offer
clothes that are not eccentric or over
priced.
When fashions are slack, women
have time to read about them In de-
tail when they are being rushed across
the stage; but now, as In an exciting
movie, there is no time for comment
or philosophy, for theory or observa-

morrow morning and buy.

ever alert for interesting clothes at
this season of the year, are asking a
thousand questions and adding more
before these are answered.
Under this stimulus, the one who
reports fashions must try to meet the
situation by turning out the news in
that old, old form of journalistic ex-

High Collars in BIouses.
The strongest evidence that women
will wear high collars in the winter,
is that they are appearing in the cheap,
ready-to-wear blouses. Some of these
are boned and fit the neck. Others
have ruffie at the top Of the high
edge. Neither style Is as attractive
ms the one that flares at the top in
the French fashion and envelopes the
flesh at the top Of the neck instead
of pushing it up.
The strong desire shown by the great
designers is to follow the lines of the
figure in all gowns. This eliminates
petticoats in a large measure. When
they are worn, they must be exceed
inglv slim and of soft material.
The tendency toward the directoire
gown is more marked as the autumn ad-
vances, especially as regards cOlorful
waistcoats that fit the figure.
