TFHE new bareback" gowns recently
appearing in Paris and London have
= attracted much comment and discus
sion. Sitting behind a woman in bare
back dress at theatre it is very much as If
she was sitting in her bathtub. A move
ment is on foot to suppress this extreme Of
fashion and, on the other hand. it is stout
ly defended as opening up a new and en-
tIrely proper field for exploiting feminine
charm
If decollete is artistic, beautiful and &C
ceptable, why not display the back? And
in studying this new opportunity the dress
designers have found less physical limita-
ton than confronts them in decollette.
The following interesting article by Presi-
dent Shulhof, Of the Associated Dress In
dustries of America explains the design
er's point of view.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1919-07-20

But whether proper or improper, there
is one thing you can be sure ONO
woman who hasn't a beautiful back will
show il.
1t is true that the opening up Of the back
presents an almost unlimited field for the
dress creators. They can frame it in a
thousand different shapes and colors. They
can go up and down and sideways. It's
possibilities end only with the back.
Perhaps there may be an era of tattoo
ing. Who knows? The old beauty marks
that the women used to fix here and there
were just sly sign posts pointing to the
charms they wanted people to notice. The
backs offer a wonderful canvas for this
form Of art-not permanent tattooing, per-
haps, but dainty little washable sketches

But at the same time they had an utter alb
sence Of decolletage-I mean their dresses
began from the waist and ran down. So
that is hardly comparison.
If a back is pretty, charmInglS curved,
beautifully textured and colored-why not
show it? Then it is the task of fashion to
bring out its points, to frame 1t becomingly,
to amplify and intensity its charm.
And where is its limit of improperly?

that, while calling attention to the quality
of what they decorate, serve also to amuse
and instruct the observer. l wouldn't be
surprised.
OF one thing you can be certain-fashion
never yet made a woman wear a style she
didn't want If the women like the bare
backs, you'll see them until that change
factor gets busy. If they don't want them
they're dead already.
Don't blame the designers. The respon-
sibility is on the wearers. There's a
homely old saying that you can drive a
horse to water, but you can't make him
drink.
You can show a woman bareback dress
but you can't make her put it on unless
she wants to.

PASTURE FOR STOCK IN FALL
Highly Important to Keep Animals In
Good Condition Through Fall
and Winter.

One of the essential factors in keep
ing live stock in good condition
through the fall and early winter,
which is highly important. is good
fall pasture, says Andrew Boss. vice
director of the Minnesota experiment
station. Nothing excels the grasses
for pasture, though mixtures of the
grasses and clover are better than Ell
ther grasses or clover alone, and fur
nish the best kind of feed for all kinds
OF stock.
Where an abundance of cultivated
grasses can he obtained for pasturage.
no further attention need be given the
subject. Meadow aftermath contain
ing clover, or timothy and clover,
makes good fall feed. Clover growing
in the stubble field is also an excellent
fall pasture. Pasturing stock on clo-
yer often enables the farmer to pick up
some of the wasted grain, and the
droppings OF the live stock are bene-
fetal 10 the land.

MAKE MONEY RAISING BARLEY
Experiments Show It Will Surpass
Corn as Ration for Fattening
Hogs II Properly Fed.

Experiments at the Wisconsin ex-
pertinent station show that barley will
surpass corn as Il ration for fattening
hogs If 1t is properly fed. Twelve
lots Of pigs were fed, using with some
corn ration, while the others were
given barley. The return for each
pig over the cost of feed was $14.3S
for the barley-fed pigs, and $12.3S for
the cOrn-fed porkers.
One of the most interesting facts
brought out was the value of a barley
and whey combination, which netted
handsome return, and the gains made
with this ration were very rapid.
If you are In region which is suit
ed for the production of barley, or If
you have been using it as nurse crop
for alfalfa, do not be discouraged by
the prospect of n lower price. due to
the curtailing of the use of barley in
the brewing industry. Perhaps it will
pay you more than ever as feed for
your hogs and your other live stock.

TREAT OATS AND
wheat FOR SMUT
Reports Show That 1t Pays to
Use Formaldehyde at Time
of Planting Crops.
WORK OF Different AGENTS
Practically None Of Fields Given
Treatment Showed Any Signs of
Disease Farmers Of Porter
County Lost $4,000.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Evidence that 1t pays to treat wheat
and oats at the time of planting with
formaldehyde to prevent smut is given
in reports of number of demonstra-
tions conducted by Indiana county
agents. Fields of oats in Dubois coun-
ty, sown with seed treated with for
maldehyde for smut as recommended
by the United Suites department of
agriculture and the State Agricultural
college. showed practically none of the
disease, while fields planted from seed
not treated contained about Is per
cent smut, according to the local coun-
ty agents report.
Work in Warren County.
AS result of the demonstration
conducted by the county agent in
Warren county it was found that n
plot of oats planted with untreated
seed showed 33 per cent smut, while
another plot in the same field planted
with treated seed was free from the
disease. Other oat fields throughout
the county that We're not treated were
varying from Z to 35 per cent.
As the result of the damage done by
wheat smut in Porter county, farmers
will lose about $140,00O on the crop.
according 10 statistics compiled by the
county agent. In checking up the dam
age done by smut the agent found that
the disease had caused per cent de-
crease in the cOunty's yield. About
two-thirds of the farmers of the coun-
ty treated their seed and effected n
saving of nearly 100000.
