OF Interest TO Women
FOULARD IN POLKA-DOT DESIGNS
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, March Sin the new
gowns exhibited for spring it Is evil
dent that France has harkened back TO
foulard as a material worthy Of lavish
use. Whether the weave is new, or
whether France has drawn from her
reserve in materials, no one knows or
cares.
Foulard is combined with satin, serge
and all the high priced Chinese Silks
such as tussah and shantung. Entire
gowns of the material are not shown.
They may be worn by any woman VINO
likes the fabric and who does not wish
to bother her head about an original
method of combining it with plain
color. but high fashion mingles foulard
with another fabric in the same color
in order to bring out an effective gown
of contrasts.
Lavish Use of Shantung.
Our immense trade with China and
Japan since the European war has
brought to this country thousands or
yards of silk in weaves that we have
always liked, but have not always been,
able to get This spring it will arrive
at its apex of fashion in this country
unless something happens of which we
see no shadow today.
1t is possible that the public itself
will turn against the Chinese silks.

to put near her skin, and this is the
peculiar tone of the original threads.

of these pongees, shantunEs and many
of the oriental cloths.
The Chinese pongees do not lend
themselves to dye. and we owe to the
French designing of this last month
the trick of using the pongee with
color that comes next to the skin.
There are not many women on this
planet who can wear string color. and.

enough to avoid placing it near the
flesh. If a woman likes it. let her put
bands of dark silk. satin or serge as
an outline to frame in the gown and
keep it away from the skin.

tice to Combat Destructive Disease.
The season thus far has been favor
able for repetition of the late blight
of potatoes. which destroyed some
100. 900. 900 bushels OF potatoes in the
country in 1915. From 100000 to
100000 bushels were destroyed in
Iowa the same year.
Damp cool weather causes the fun
gus to grow and scatter in a small
way: then with a few days of particu-
larly favorable weather the disease
becomes rampant. all of sudden.
The weather so far has been OF this
kind and authorities at Ames send out
the warning: I'VE shall be able to
give growers about ten days or two
weeks notice of the main attack II
It comes With this notice growers
can be prepared and the disease large
ly controlled.
The remedy Is to use Bordeaux mix
ture. composed Of blue stone and lime,
this to be applied with sprayers or as
a dust. Dealers and large growers will
do well to get a line on materials ana
equipment for shipment by express.
Care should be taken not TO mistake
other troubles for late blight. In this
disease the leaf is first coated with a
white mold on the under side. Then
the leaves or parts OF leaves fall limp
and turn brown and whole fields may
be defoliated in three or four days.
Sometimes every plant in county is
attacked. It also rots tubers in the
field and in storage. 1t has very OBJ
jectionable and characteristic odor OF
decaying leaves and tubers. This
serves to identify it.

RoADsIDEs CAN De
USED FOR PASTURE
OR TO PRODUCE HAY

Many thousands of miles OF road
sides are on productive soil and should
be used for food production. To use
the roadsides will involve little labor
and no large expenditure.
Some roadsides can be used to pro-
duce hay. Such crops as sweet clover
red clover and grasses are often found
growing rankly along the roads and
can be cut for hay. These crops are
usually allowed to waste, tho some far
mers utilize them. One farmer in Mis-
souri, always cuts the sweet clover
from roadsides adjacent to his farm
before it gets woody. Along limestone
roads clover often grows more rankly.
owing to the sweetening effect of the
road dust on the soil acidity. On some
roadsides, by a little seeding or by
clipping the weeds, the more valuable
hay crops can be produced.
Pasturing the roadsides usually offers
the best way Of utilizing them. Many
roadsides are too rough to be moved,
and farm labor is scarce. Many fine
pasture plants grow along the roads
Bluegrass and white clover frequently
take the roadsides, to the exclusion OF
weeds. Bermuda grass, Japan clover.
and other plants Of good grazing quail
tiles are found along the southern
roads. Wild grasses thruout other
parts Of the country are abundant alonT
roads. The pasturage of roadsides can
be increased by keeping the weeds
down by moving occasionally with
machine or scythe. The farm pastures
can be rested and are not so liable to
overerazing when the roadsides are
used. Pasturing the roadsides does not
call for much labor. Cattle and sheep
can be srazed along them and valuable
beef milk. wool. and mutton produced.
The old mich COW may be tethered
out or the farm cattle. herded by chill
dren, pastured along the roads. The
farm flock Of sheep will need to be
herded, but will clip the roadside morv
closely and retard the growth of nox-
ious weeds. Farmers who use these
waste spaces will help produce more
food, eliminate waste, produce cheaper
milk and meat. reduce weeds, remove
a wintering place for insects. and in
addition make the roadsides and farm
steads more attractive.

they can be rebred. The heat period Il

After the sows are bred they should
be turned into pasture and fed veUv
little grain during the first part OF To
summer. Breeding stock must be kep1
hard and healthy. and to accomplish
this roughages must constitute q large
part Of the ration. Alfalfa, clover.

pasture crops which furnish excellent
summer feed for sows. Rape soy
beans, cowpeas. and sorghum are es-
pecially adapted for swine feeding.
Their use will reduces the necessary
daily grain ration to one pound or Ass

grazing season. which Is large saving
in favor Of pasture. Plenty Of water,
shade. and space to exercise are other
essentials for the production Of strong.

The sows can run together In the
Same pasture within two or three
weeks Of the narrowing date. At this
time those that arc due to- fafrow
