find any permanent favor. There are
always few women looking for novel
ties, and these were the only ones to
whom the fantastic features of the
hip-extended frocks appealed. The
Parisienne absolutely refused to adopt
them. French women have worn too
many good clothes and are too fond of
their personal appearance to accept
anything fantastic or bizarre.
The majority of our styles ire
launched in Paris. but there have been
several points in dress on which the
American woman and the Parlsienne
have disagreed. On the silhouette,
however, they are absolutely of one
mind. 1t is a tribute to the good
taste of women that they continue
to hold to the simple. beautiful one
piece frock, refusing to go contrary to
the principles of good taste and re-
finement in dress. So out of all the
models with astonishing hip exten-
sions. unusual girdling, loops and
draperies the well dressed woman has
continued to hold to the straightline
frock and the natural silhouette.

Many of CaliOts evening gowns

Cause OF oowny Mildew.

Downy mildew is prevalent in the
eastern. southern. and TO some extent
in the North Central states, west of
Illinois. It is caused by a fungous
parasite and can be checked by timely
and thorough spraying with 4-i-5O bor-
deauX mixture.
Angular leaf spot or leaf blight is
caused by bacterial parasite and is
carried by the seed. It can be com
bated best by treating the seed in
1-1,0o0 corrosive sublimate solution,
washing them In running water after
wards and drying Immediately. Di-
rections will be sent on application to
the department. The disease may
live over in the soil TO slight extent,
making rotation advisable.
Cucumber anthracnose, recognized
by brown dead spots on leaves and
sunken areas on the stems and fruits
Is fungous disease, which lives over

tion are recommended.
