Some 1918 Garden Needs.

Market gardens near large consum-
ing centers should be increased so as
to meet, as nearly as possible. the
needs of the community. and in order
to obviate the necessity of transport
ing such products from distant points.
The planting of home gardens. espe-
cIally for family needs and for pre-
serving food for future use, again
should be emphasized.
The commercial production of per-
ishables generally should be increased
above normal wherever 1t is reasona.

keting facilities will be available.

More Beans, Peas, Peanuts.

AS important features of its supple
mentary program for feeding the ma
ton, its armies, and the allies, the
United States department of agricul-
ture recommends that great attention
be paid to the production Of beans.
peas and peanuts On these subjects
the program states:
1.-THE production of beans and peas
should be increased in regions to
which they are adapted, because Of
their high food value, keeping quail
ties, and availability for domestic or
export trade.
"Soy beans and peanuts should be
increased In order to supplement beans
and peas as human food, as a source
of much-needed oil, and as animal
feeds.
1.-The production of beans last year
in the six leading states Increased
from 10,715,0OO bushels to 15,7O1, 900
bushels, and peanuts from 35,324. 500
bushels to 60.222,0 900 bushels. But
these increases proved to be greatly
needed, and there is every indication
that large increases will be readily alb
sorbed in 1913.
1.-THE peanut Is especially valuable
because of the oil 1t contains, for
which the need is great. In the South,
especially, soy beans and peanut meal
are proving very satisfactory as par
tial substitutes for wheat. Both soy
beans and peanuts are of great value
as forage crops"

MAKE BATTLE ON
FOOD PARASITES
Billions of Dollars Damage to
Crops Has Been Prevented.
SPECIALISTS URGE BIG WAR
Assistance to Be Given Farmers to Re-
duce Injury Caused by Insects. Dis
eases, Mice, Rats, Squirrels
and Other Rodents.

Every effort should be made to pre-
vent losses in production, storage, and
transportation of food in these days
when the conservation Of every prod
uct contributing to our food supply
means so much, states the United
Yates department of agriculture in its
1918 campaign just announced.
Rillions of dollars are lost every
year. says the statement. from such
preventable causes as insects, plant
and animal diseases, carelessness In
breeding, predatory animals. rats.
mice. ground squirrels and other ro-
dents. These losses are being held
in check by present agencies and can
be further greatly reduced or pre-
vented at cost which is Insignificant
when compared with the amount of
damage done. Methods of controlling
many of these harmful factors are now
well established and should be more
widely adopted. A large loss on the
farms of the United States results
from the improper care of manure,
and its careless and ineffective use.
In these times of scarcity of fertiliz-
ing materials more attention than ever
should be paid to the conserving Of
plant food from this source.
Animal Diseases and Parasites.
1t has been estimated that diseases
Of animals, such as hog cholera, tuber-
culosis, contagious abortion, dourine,
Texas or tick fever, and Others cause
annual losses aggregating many mill
lions. Many of these diseases, to n
still greater extent. can be prevented
or their ravages reduced considerably.
The department has greatly extended
its facilities for dealing with these
matters and will assist farmers In
every feasible way.
The annual losses from insects and
plant diseases are enormous. 1t has
been conservatively estimated that
smuts of wheat alone cause losses ag-
lgregating S60.0OO.000 annually. The
staff of specialists in the department
of agriculture. as well as the staffs
In the state institutions. has been In
creased, and, in cooperation with the
forces in the various states, they will
be able to render more effective as
sistance to farmers during the coming
season than ever before.
Predatory Animals and Rodents.
The losses from animals injurious to
agriculture and to animal husbandry
are enormous. Native rodents cause
losses of grain. forage and other agri-
cultural products estimated at more
than S150,OOO.0OO. House rats and
mice levy toll of 100000 upon
the nations food supply. On the
western cattle ranges predatory ami
mails alone cause losses of live stock
amounting to $4,000. 900 to $4,000, 900
annually. Methods of eradication have
been developed. especially In the case

FR0CKS OF SIMPLE CALICOES

Call for Material Which viii
Lessen Demand for Others.

News comes that one of the latest
developments for war time fashions
will be frocks of simple calico, says
Womens Wear. Some of the smart

Women have been warned to con-

so naturally when they are offered gar.

believe they are demonstrating their
patriotism by accepting it and a calico
frock will be the reward Of virtue.
The calicoes that are engaging the

NATIONWIDE BOOST is SEEN

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
That the better roads movement Is
receiving nationwide boost is shown
by the fact that all the states of the
Union have availed themselves of the
opportunity of participating In the
benefits of the federal aid road act,
which appropriated $75,000,000 for the
construction of post roads and $10,-
100000 for forest roads, according to
the report of the director of the Office
Of public roads and rural engineering,
United States department of agricul-
tire. That the passage of the act has
stimulated road building Is shown by
the fact that in 1916, there were APP
proximately $41,OOOOOO of state funds
expended for all highway purposes,
and II Is estimated that in the calendar
year 1917, the aggregate expenditures
OF state funds for this purpose will be
at least S60,000,0O0. A number Of the
states have made specific appropria-
lions to meet federal aid dollar for dol
lar. Among these are New York. Illi-
nois, Michigan, Rhode Island, Nevada,
Iowa, Florida and Vermont.

FITTING FASHION TO FUNDS
Homemade Garments Can Be Finish.
ed in Manner That viii Do Away
With Amateurish Stamp.

In making ones own clothes there
are many little points about which one
needs advice-things which give a
more finished appearance, and do away
with the homemade look that is apt
to be the result of amateur work.
For instance, says writer in Good
Housekeeping, wherever stitching Is
visible, such as on the cuffs, collar and
bottom Of the skirt, do 1t by hand, and
an exceptionally good way to finish the
bottom Of suit Of heavy material is
not to turn in the edge Of the hem.
but to leave the raw edge on the un.
derneath side, and finish 1t with a
feather stitch on the wrong side; care
must be taken to make the stitches In.
visible on the right side. This looks
so much better than the usual machine
stitching which is very often used for
finishing the hem.
The lining for suit should be made
separately and fitted to the figure just
the same as the cont itself. When II Is
sewed into the coat. 1t will be neither
too large nor too small. II an inter
lining Is necessary for the waist Of the
coat, outing flannel Is good.
In getting skirt to hang straight,
the best results can be obtained by
first putting the skirt on to regular
skirt banding. which can be bought by
the yard. For one-piece dress, de-
tachable collars and cuffs Of linen, or
candle, or satin, add greatly. and are
easily made and washed.
