A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
IF YOU have any old fashioned ideas
as to what goes with what you
had better get over them. At least
in the matter of dress fabrics. If
the same mania for unusual combina
tions were to extend to the realm of
things culinary, we should be serving
green peas with roast beef and York
shire pudding with lamb chops. As it
is. we are trimming gingham dresses
with lace. Now doesn't that seem too
utterly ridiculous? 1t is the sort of
thing that you might expect from some
little country seamstress. but when the
perpetrator is one of the leading de-
signers we simply have to put it down
as one of the oddities of this season 3
odd combinations. Then there are calico
dresses combined with sheer organdie
and the finest of suits and capes in
Paris were some of them lined with un-
bleached muslin
One of the most attractive of these
new unexpected combinations is shown
in today's sketch. That is taffeta and
organdie. To be sure the idea of hav-
ing organdie collars and cuffs on taffeta
would never have been surprising. The
surprise comes in when the organdie is
introduced in the body of the dress.
1t is draped frock, the taffeta being
in navy blue. Pink organdie forms the
bodice and apron front. BY way of
proving that this is a season of much
establishment the pink organdie is EN-
broidered in white silk. The sleeves
are as short as American dressmakers
dare to make them. If they were pro-
ducing the frock for the Partisan instead

NOW is THE TIME TO SPRAY
FOR SAN JOSE SCALE

Baton Rouge, Jan. 9.-The San
Jose scale is the most widespread and
destructive pest that Louisiana fruit
growers have to contend with, yet
this insect is not hard to control, &C.
cording to B. Szymonisk, fruit and
nut specialist, Extension Division,
Louisiana State University.
"Fully 90 per cent Of fruit trees
are infested with the SCALE" he says,
"and it is so destructive that in neg
lected orchards it kills the trees in
two to three seasons. This insect not
only Injuries the trees by sucking the
Juices but also injects a poison in the
region where It feeds.
'The San Jose scale can be con-
trolled by spraying the fruit trees
during the winter with lime-sulfur
solution. Where the grower is pre-
pared to make the solution at home,
he will And It much cheaper, other
wise he should resort to the use Of
commercial lime-sulfur. Spraying
can be done any time during the dor
mant seasoh but the work will be
much more effective If It is done in
the fall within month after the
trees shed their leaves, or Just be-
fore the buds begin to swell in the
spring. It is best to select a warm,
sunny calm day for spraying. Use a
good spray outfit and drench the
trees Thoroughly. The San Jose
scale is killed by the spray solution
coming in direct contact with the in
sect, so each insect that is not touch
ed with the lime-sulful solution es-
capes and next year infest the fruit
trees, where the orchard has never
been sprayed it is best to give two
dormant sprays-one in the fall and
one in the spring.
Growers are warned against fake
spray solutions. They should con-
suit their parish demonstration agent
or write to Extension Division, Lou
isiana State University"
