Best Time at Harvest.

prepared by the United States Depart

The custom of using as seed potatoes
left from the previous seasons crop,
after having disposed of the best, must
be discontinued IL the present quality
and yield of the crop is to be material-
ly improved. say specialists of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture.
The grower cannot expect to get max
imum yields from inferior seed stock
any more than the dairyman can expect
to get maximum milk yields from scrub
cows. The best time to select seed po-
tatoes. according TO the specialists. is
In the fall when the crop is being har-
vested. Then the yield of the indi-
vidual- plant and the quality of the tu-
bers can be considered.
Good seed Is pure in r.spect to the
variety: Is produced by healthy. vigor-
GUS, heavy yielding plants grown un-
der favorable climatic conditions; is
somewhat immature: reasonably uni
form in size and shape firm and sound.
The first sprouts should begin to de-
veiop at planting time.

awkward for most tractors. and where
such turns are necessary the operator
often has more or less difficulty In
getting the outfit In the correct posi-

more easily in one direction than 9TH

methods in which the plows are idle

and that ordinarily the number of
dead furrows and back furrows will
be considerably less.
In using the first-named methods 1t
's necessary to measure the lands in
the center OF the field accurately, lenv-
ing an equal area on all sides OF the
field in which to turn the outfit. and
which can be plowed last by running
the tractor completely around the field
several times. IL one end of the field
Is unfenced the outfit can be pulled
out into road or lane, or an adjoin-
ing feidy-fsr turning. 1t may be
preferable to plow up to the fence on
the two sides as the body of the field
Ia being proved, and leave the head
land only across the end of the field
which Is fenced. The width of the
headland will depend largely on the
turning radius of the tractor. With
easily handled outfits 1t Is not neces-
sary to leave more than Is or 20 feet.
Careful Flowing Saves Time.
If the field is to he finished up in
the best manner. with no irregular, un-
piOWcu StripS DetWcen the iuhu VI as
the edges, 1t is essential that care be
taken to have the headland of the
same width clear around the field, to
have the distances measured exactly
when starting new lands, and to have
the first burrows as nearly straight as
possible. A little extra time tnken In
measuring of the necessary distances
and setting plenty Of stakes for guild
ance will nearly always be more than
returned in saving time at the finish.
If the tractor pulls three or more
plows, cutting total width of three or
more feet. some effort should be made
to have the width of the headlnnds an
exnct multiple of the total width Of
the plow, so that the last strip across
the field will exactly cut out the land
or finish 1t to the fence. This will
do away with the necessity of making
a trip across the field. probably over
the plowed ground, to turn narrow
strip which has been left unplowed.

The time will soon be here for those
exciting and fascinating excursions to
the millinery shop In search of new
millinery. of which much is expected.
The old millinery axiom that hat Is
becoming when one looks better with
IL on thnn without it. is good thing
to bear in mind. AT the very least we
expect hats. like mirrors, to 'be to
our faultsa little blind, and to our vir-
tues not unkind." Just how much the
right shape and the right colors can
do to transform face. is measured
often by the long price which small
bit Of millinery commands. 1t is the
intangible in millinery that is worth
more than anything else-the color
harmony. the beautifully balanced
lines. the poise of the hat on the
head and It's appropriateness. that are
worth more than mere material.
No one understands this quite so
well as the woman who has reached
middle life. or passed it. She expects
her hats to do much for her in the
way of enhancing her good points, and
designers who specialize successfully
in headwear for matrons turn fabrics
into gold. One of their promising
new models is shown at the right of
the group of three hats pictured above.

girl will look well in this picturesque
hat.
The hat at the bottom of the picture,
made for young woman, is dressy
affair of silver tissue with an odd trim
ming twining about the crown. The
trimming is likely to be made OF twist
ed ribbon with fancy edge. but might
be of silver tissue or georgette- The
maker of trimmings is no respecter OF
fabrics. taking anything that Is with
in reach and fashioning 1t into some
thing new and strange and nearly al

Recently American manufacturers
of underwear have thought so well of
their achievements thnt they have pro-
claimed themselves as the designers
OF the styles now favored in lingerie.
They certainly are justified in taking
pride In the daintiness and attractive
ness Of the garments they make In
such quantities and they find It easy
to cultivate taste for fine undermus-
Inns. American women are appreci-
ative. but they are also practical and
garments. Few of them run to the
extreme of wearing chiffon or georg-
ette In undies. or care for bizarre de-
signing. In the main they like fine
weaves In cotton or crepe de chine for
materials. not too much trimmed with
fine and durable laces. hand embroid-
cry and other needlework. Hand
crochet in laces holds Its own with
them. and has everything to recon-
mend 1t.
OF course not much handwork Is to
be found on manufactured undermus-
Inns. but machinery has been made to
do wonderful work and sometimes so
effectively that comparisons with hand
work are not by any means odious to
the machine-made garment. Some
times the plain sewing on undermus-
Inns is done by machinery and the
decoration by hand. But however
they may be put together and finished.
the styles are about the same In under
garments.
