FARMERSSHORT
Of HELP THRU
OREGON STILL

PORTLAND, May 5.-There is
still some complaint throughout the
state of shortage of farm labor. ac-
cording to the Weather Bureaus
weekly summary OF Oregon crop con-
ditions. just issued. The weather Of
the past week was generally favor
able for farm work and for the
growth of crops. The temperature
averaged slightly above normal but
there were several cold nights and
some frost. There was considerable
cloudiness, particularly in western
counties, and some rain fell, but the
soil was generally in better condi
ton to be worked than at any pre-
yious time this season and farm
work made rapid progress. Farm
ing operations are still backward
over most OF western Oregon, the
summary said. but are fairly well UP
to date in the central and eastern
counties.
Winter wheat, rye and oats con-
tinue to make good progress Some
low fields in the Willamette valley
are showing yellow but the condi-
tions is not serious. Winter wheat is
in the boot in Douglas county and
rye is headed in the milder parts of
the state. Seeding of Spring wheat.
barley and cats continues. The soil
IS generally in good condition and
termination is satisfactory, though
growth is rather slow. Flowing for
corn is in progress and some corn
has been planted. An increased acre
age of ccrn is expected.
The general outlook for fruit is
excellent. Some local damage has
been done to all kinds of fruit by
frost and cold rain has interfered |
with pollenation in some cases, but
this applies to d very limited acre |
age. Peaches, plums, cherries and |
pears are we'll set Prunes are sett-
ing well Apples are in fun bloom in
most of the commercial districts
Spraying is well in hand. Extensive
paintings of strawberries and logan
berries are being made.
Conditions have been particularly
favorable for grass and hay crops.
Alfalfa is - inches high in Una,
tilla county. Vetch is doing well.
Stock continues to make good
gains. Tie percentage Of lamcs Is
highly satisfactory. Shearing OF
sheep and goats is nearing compile,
tion in Douglas county.
Planting of potatoes and garden
is becoming general as
the soil dries. Early garden vege-
tables are growing fairly well. Some
early potatoes are up.

from the cloth until the end OF the
space TO be gathered has been
reached. IL the needle becomes
crowded, push the cloth off a. the
eve Of the needle, but DO not remove
the needle. The gathers should
then be stroked or pulled" Direc-
tons for stroking are: Draw the
thread up, so that the gathers are
very close together, and wind the
thread upon a pin which has been
put into the cloth. Then, holding
the gathers between the thumb and
first finger Of the left hand. with the
point of blunt needle or the eye
of a coarse needle, stroke down be-
side the fold Of each gather and

amount of fullness is to be drawn
into a small space. Each stitch
of succeeding rows must lie direct
ly under the one above" In shir-
ring, however. which is formed by
several rows Of gathers, il Is not
necessary to have the stitches lie
me directly under the other. In
backstitching, which, as has been
said above, is used TO give added
strength, the needle makes a long
stitch on the under side, and as il
comes up on the right side, goes
back halfway to the end Of the last
stitch on the right side, thus not
meeting on this side but leaving
spaces between, like a running stitch.
There are those to whom direc-
tons for the proper making of a
hem may not come amiss. Miss
Baldt gives clear instructions. "A

year for those who would TO take

was recently held, at which a beau

Like the well-loved perennials
Of the garden, tulips, hyacinths and
jonquils. which come back each year
to find a joyous welcome, our old
friend foulard will again be a IA
vorite when fur coats are laid aside.
Many he dresses and suits de-
signc6 early spring wear show
trimmings and Innings Of foulard. A
simple sports coat of blue ga bardine
is given quite dashing touch by its
vest OF dotted foulard-white dots
on a blue ground. This vest is, in
reality. the front Of one Of the new
long-skirted peplum blouses. which
are designed for wear with cutaway
coats of various lines. When the
coat is removed a very attractive
fOulard blouse is displayed. The
edges of the neck, sleeves and the
peplum are bound with white fou-
lard. A narrow belt of patent
leather holds the fullness at the
waistline The coat belt is made of
it's own material, held by a silver
buckle. A stole-like collar COM
pIetes the neckline of the coat and
extends in tabs below the belt. The
hat. which is designed for wear with
this suit and blouse, is made of the
same material as the blouse--that is
dotted foulard-and is faced with
plain blue taffeta. 1t is bound with
dark blue gros grain ribbon and a
band of the same ribbon ties the
crown.

ture hats Of the collapsible variety,
thus permitting themselves to be
hacked away in a suitcase for week
end visits. A motor toaue of red
rafTia and printed indestructible
wolfe had a square of the wolfe trail
ing behind it, to be used as scarf.
Scarfs are to be a feature of the
spring wardrobe and, also, of what
are known in the United States as
Palm Beach fashions, so it is said;
and the hat with scarf attached Is
appearing in a variety Of styles. 1t
is thought that it will be very pop
ular. 1t is also said that a favorite
way to wear the separate scarf will
not be flung carelessly around the
shoulders. as so many wear II, but
rather, with the ends brought down
and through the belt. A scarf of
navy blue crepe, a very fine jersey,
banded with plaid silk, was worn in
that fashion and, with it, a soft lit
tie hat OF the plaid, with a gay
scarlet buckle for trimming.
These new seasons silks are
poisoning out in the big shops
and. in many. are skirts and frocks
and suits made from them. An at
tractive model in a delicate cream
white, which had a faint pinkish
tinge, was made on plain, straight
lines, the front panel being separate
from the rest Of the skirt at the
hem, where 1t was fastened 10 the
main part OF the skirt on each side,
by large and beautifully pinkish
white pearl buttons and loops of the
silk. The broad soft belt was
similarly fastened at the side.
These new silks, which have a
beautifully radiant shimmering
quality and, although they look
somewhat rough and heavy, are
really remarkably and surprisingly
light in weight, come in the most
exquisite shades, soft golden yellows.

Simple Directions For
The Amateur SedmstreSs

The woman who has never learn
ed to sew. but wants to acquire that
accomplishment in order, perhaps.
that she may do 3 little of her own
dressmaking or undertake some of
the general household sewing. is
| often somewhat at a loss 10 under
stand directions. Not having been
/ taught to sew when she was little
as so many children are taught in
school these days. she is grateful to
anyone who will explain some of the
/ fundamental features of the art to
her. Those who talk glibly and
casually of hemming and overland
ing, shirring and gauging, do not al
ways remember that there are those
/ to whom such terms, commonplace
/ though they may be, do not present
a clear picture at all, but rather
are vague and indistinct. For the
| benefit Of such, here are a few sim
pie directions:
First OF all, there is that COM
mon term, basting. Suppose you
have two pieces of cloth that you
wish to stitch together; you are not
sure that you can achieve a smooth
| seam, on the sewing machine, by
just holding them in your hand. You
have known things that you have
stitched before to come out so very
puckery and queer. SO TO prevent
any such fault as that, the proper
thing TO do is TO thread a needle
with fairly long thread, knot it
firmly at the end and fasten the two
pieces of fabric together with rather
| long running stitches. A running
stitch, it may be explained, is made
by inserting the needle with its
knOtted thread, through the cloth,
carrying it over several threads,
few or many. according as the stitch
is desired small or large; then put
down through the fabric, in the op-
posite direction, carried along an
equal distance under the material,
and then brought Up to the top
again, and so forth. When one is
sewing anything that one wishes to
be well sewed, so that the seam will
hold, with the running stitch, it
should be made as small as pos
sible. For basting, however, a long
stitch which can be quickly and
easily pulled out, without leaving a
mark on the fabric. is desirable.
Basting stitches may be even in
length, short on one side and long
on the other, or may be arranged as
one long and two short, or in any
order which will serve as a guide.
This later stitch is freouentlv sDOlxep
of as "dresSmaker basting," for the
desired purpose.
The running stitch is used in MAX
ing tucks. and should be small.
with the thread held loosely and
not pulled tight. What is known as
diagonal basring consists of a
short. vertical stitch on the under
side of cloth. long stitch diagonally
across upper; repeat" according TO
Laura I. Baldt, who has explained
all these simple stitches and illus
trated them so carefully that the

NEW IDEAS IN SCREENS

One OF the newest varieties OF
screens is the folding panel type.
which is covered with wall paper.
then vanished and toned down 10
give 1t a permanent surface. These
screens are now being manufactured
oy wall paper concerns throughout
the United States. and afford de-
cided change from the usual STYLES
made OF silk or other materials. The
idea seems new and yet IL is really
only because it is so old that we do
not know il. for some interesting
antique screens are still in existence
which were made in just this way.
In selecting paper for this purpose
one may well choose from amons
the chintz styles. which have many
designs showing birds and flowers
and Chinese patterns figured with
pagodas, birds and mountains n a.
good choice Of paper is used and
then vanished and toned down the
screens have the appearance 81
genuine Spanish leather, and show
the tooling and play OF metallic
cOlOring
Another idea for an attractive
screen is that Of covering a frame
with a beautiful old shawl, which
should be displayed rather than
folded away out Of sight one younc
woman was determined TO enjoy her
lovely cashmere Paisley and. after
trying it draped on the wall and
over furniture, Il occurred 10 her 90

was charming and original as wen
