Cameo Effects in Cotton.

Cameo effects (two shades of a
given color) are very much the thing
in printed dress cotton this year.
Usually the printing is in lighter tone
ON darker ground, giving the cameo
suggestion, but the patterns may be in
scroll or stripe effect, not suggestive

foulards in these cameo effects are
especially pleasing and viii make up
into cool, inexpensive frocks for warm

WARFARE ON WEED ENEMIES
Rockinq-Ch Methods Are UnavaiI-

Eradicate Them.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of .Agriculture)
In sense, farming might be called
a warfare against weeds. Some farm
ers emerge from the struggle victori-
Dus, while others go down to defeat.
So powerful are weed enemies in re-
lucing crop yields, while at the same
time multiplying labor, that the farm
er should at every turn strengthen his
position against them. He should bear
these inYaders in mind in planning the
crops he will grow and in deciding on
The fields wheEe he will grow these
crops, in choosing the implements he
will use, in buying his seed, and in
many other farm activities. Lack of
careful planning with reference to
weeds is apparent in nearly every COM
munity. Here a man planted more
corn than he could properly care for.
There a man has left his field i'll
meadow too many years. Here man
did not thoroughly prepare his land for
alfalfa. There a man has seeded
clover that was full of weed seeds. And
for just such causes weeds not only
make serious inroads on the current
crop yields but at the same time thor
oughly infest the land and fortify
themselves against future attacks.
Some men do not attack weeds with
enough vigor; they look for rocking
chair methods of work. There is no
royal road to weed control In the
main, the old doctrine of hard work
and plenty of it, must be observed, but
unless this work is applied intelligent
ly a vast amount of labor may be ex-
pended and but little accomplished be-
yond temporary abatement of the
evil,

Detachable Pocket.

The object of the detachable pocket
is that woman may have,a safe place
in which TO carry her belongings about
her.
Some of her garments are not al
ways equipped with these handy re-
eeptacles and she is often compelled
to stow away money and valuables in
places about her person which were
not exactly designed for the purposes
of a safety vault.
The newly invented detachable peck
ct has fastening devices on it which
make it possible to secure it on any
garment and at any place, so that
femininity may always have a pocket.

Metal Millinery.

Smart millinery shops in London are
displaying metal helmets for women,
presumably for wear during air raids;
though it is a question whether the
fair wearer of a protective helmet
would not flee to, bomb-proof refuge
just as swiftly as her sister whose
headgear was fashioned of straw and
silk. The metal helmets for women
cost just about twice as much as those
designed for the masculine sex. They
are lined with dainty and soft ma
terial, and on top is cunning knob,
which gives a rakish and distinctive
line to the stern headgear.

Such weeds as Wild onion,
bitterweed, and the ragweed
cause great annoyance to dairy
men and milk dealers. These
weeds, when eaten by mich
cows, give a very disagreeable
odor and flavor to the milk, and
consequently to all other dairy
products. When cows eat such
weeds in large quantities, the
milk is not marketable. The
control of pasture weeds is a
