The present styles in afternoon gowns play into the hands of many women who have learned to make one froek serve for both afternoon and evening. They managed very well in this same matter during the war, when evening dress was taboo, and now Paris has dealt the cards so that the game becomes easy. There is vogue for bare arms, or very abbrevia ted sleeves, on French gowns, that is re- fected here in short sleeves made of the sheerest fabrics that merely veil the arms.

are present, however, it may be ad- Ylsable to go over the ground with a disk harrow, blow shallow and disk again.
 If wheat Is to follow cotton. the stalks should be plowed under as soon as picking can be finished and the blowing should be deep enough to bury the stalks completely-that by way of destroying the boil weevil. Disking or narrowing is not advisable. as it un- earths the buried stalks. The land should be frmed with a roller and the wheat sown with disk drill.
 Late Flowing Should Be Shallow.
 There are said to be exceptions to all general rules, and there may be one or two exceptions to this rule of early blowing for wheat. If it rains a great deal during July and early August, ear ly blowing can not be done. But, for tunately, the exception appears to come in just there. Early blowing is not so essential in wet seasons. But it may be well to observe this caution: :: If you have to blow late, blow shallow where there is danger of winter killing. Shallow blowing makes the firming of the seed bed an easier matter and is q measure of insurance against winter killing.

One of the smart new habits of GOV. ert cloth is shown above. It is the offering of an experienced and en- thusiastic designer, and is an exam pie of beautiful tailoring in the best of cloths. The brooches are re-en- forced with inserts of leather at the knee, the coat has little less flare below the waistline than last years models, and is more straight-hanging. This makes an opportunity for belt of the cloth. It fastens with a button and button-hole at the front, and the coat also buttons at the waistline, leaving more of the blouse and tie visible than is usual.
 Puttees, over trim brown walking shoes, are a leftover wartime style which young women are loath to part with, and pretty, three-cornered hat. with square crown and rolling brim, is so convincingly becoming that 1t puts the good taste of this outfit above question: GMy Rza.zs.Az

Next Month Is A Good
Time To Improve Pastures

The high cost of grain and cat
tie feeds has directed the attention
of many farmers toward improve
nent of pastures. 1t is commonly
known that proper fertilization of
pastures may easily increase the
livestock carrying capacity two
fold and even more.
Most of our pastures need fer
tilization more than anything.
They have stopped producing be-
cause they have been grazed too
closely. They need a little rest and
some feed themselves.
If along in August the dairyman
will move his cattle over into the
hayfelds and will top dress his
pasture with four or FIVE hundred
pounds of fertilizer analyzing
0-1O-4 or 0-12-2 he will find an
enormous increase in feed on them
next season. During the Fall and
Winter the fertilizer will be en-
abled to get into the soil and began
its work. Next Spring when the
cattle come back again the pas
lures will have charged their
character entirely.
Five hundred pounds of fertil.
izer may seem like lot but the
return will be worth it many times
over. 1t does not pay to fool with
sprinkle. Do the job right if il
| is to be done at all.

He expressed his confidence in

the generosity of the Delaware

with salaries given in other states
shows that the average compares
favorably with the most advanced

The intention Of those drafting
the code was that no half way

CLARIFIES CERTIFICA-
TON OF TEACHERS
Expert Who Helped Draft
Code Explains Vital
Eeatures

Under the title "Professlonaliz-
ing the Schools Of Delaware" DR..
Frank P. Bachman on Monday
morning explained the provisions
of the New School Code with re-
gard to certification Of teachers
and teachers salaries, clearing up
many points that were rather hazy
in the minds of many who have a
fair knowledge of the code.
Having had charge of the field
work in connection with the school
survey and having helped to for
mulate the code, DR.. Bachman is
eminently fitted to make its pro-
visions clear.
While no code can make good
schools, no good schools are pos
sible, he said, withut a foundation
al scheme which good code gives.
Two things he asked of the
teachers with respect to their pro-
fess;on, t. realize that the teach
:ng Job IS a profession; and to set
up brariers to keep out of it the
unfit. The attitude of the public
toward teaching is due, he said, to
the non-professional beginnings in
this country, where a man went
into the public schools because he
was too lazy to hold down reg
ular job.
The new code requires proper
professional training from the
highest official in the system to the
beginner in the backwoods district.
No opportunity has been left to
secure positions by political pre-
ferment. -
He reviewed the qualifications
requisite for State Commission
County Superintendents, supervi-
siors and teachers.
He called particular attention to
the fact that there are two classes
Of certificate, those for hign
school teachers and those for the
elementary grades.
The distinguishing Characters
tic Of the new system is the fact
that training for the specific kind
of certificate granted is required.
The teaching Of high school sub
iects presents an entirely different
problem from that of teaching ele-
mentary subjects, requires differ
ent training and there will there
fore be no possibility of transfer
without the requisite training. The
new code rests, he said, on the
theory that teaching is a highly
specialized profession.
He outlined the requirements
for the three kinds Of elementary
certificate and explained why in
1885 only one class Of certificate
will be granted. This he said
will put the State Of Delaware in
the position now occupied by only
4 or 5 states in the Union.
With the cryptic remark that
"there is more in the code than is
evident to the casual reader" he
called attention to the fact that no
provision is made for holders Of
third grade certificates acquiring
those Of first erode by any means
other than by getting the proper
professional training in an ac-
credited training school.

Code Almost Annihilates
Examination

Proper training and not mere
possession of acaremic knowledge
is the keynote of preparation for
teaching. Mere examination to
test teaching efficiency is farce,
and re-examination to renew certi-
ficates was compared with thresh-
ing of old straw. Renewals will be
on recommendation of the super
visor every three years. No certi-
ficates will be granted for life as
has been a custom and still is in
most of the states. Those having
third grade certificates, however,
must attend summer school every
third year in order to keep alive
professionally. No other method
will be recognized for, according
to the distinguished speaker, no
teacher can prepare herself, and
reading circles have little or no
value as he proved by observation.
Discusses Question of Salary
He pointed out the definite re-
lation under the law between pro-
fessional preparation and salary
