L VERY girl with an Imagination has
IL pictured the dawn of the honey
moon, with herself a radiant bride in
all the glory of white satin and tulle.
And when dreams come true and she
decides to obey convention there has
never yet been q dearth of satin or
tulle, all ready to be used. But how?
That is the question that fairly OBJ
sesses the bride and all her women
relatives until It is settled. What the
bride requires of the creator of her
conventional wedding gown is that it
must be conventional but in an origi-
nal way-there are ways of doing
things-new ways-that insure an up
to-date result. Each years wedding
gowns are tests of ingenuity on the
part of their designers, masterpieces
into which they weave the old and new
with consummate artistry.
This years gowns have provided its
brides with a choice of styles swinging
all the way from straight lines to the
most elaborate draping, and, about
midway between these extremes are
such lovely examples of the conven-
tional wedding gown as that shown
IN the picture. The bride that is fairly
slender and tall will dote on this in
depreciation Of current ideas. The
dress shows the skirt, with q draped

DEPTH OF CORN CULTIVATION
Shallow Method is Favored as Result
Of Many Comparative Expert
ments by Specialists.

Many comparative experiments OF
deep and shallow cultivation have
been made, and on the whole the re-
suits are in favor Of shallow cultiva-
ton, say specialists Of the United
States department of agriculture. The
occasions when deep cultivation is pref
erable are few. If excessive rains
have packed the soil and kept 1t water
soaked, deep cultivation will help TO
dry and aerate it. Breaking the roots
of the plants must be avoided so far
as possible. If roots are broken the
plants will rapidly produce other roots.
but II will be at the expense Of vital
ity and the food supply. After the
plants have reached height of or
3 feet, the soil even In the middle of
the rows should not be cultivated deep
er than 4 inches, and usually a shall
lower cultivation will prove better.
A loose soil mulch 2 or inches in
thickness should be maintained. 1t
retains soil moisture and facilitates
the penetration of rainfall.

tunic at the front made in one with
the bodice. 1t cOntrives to reconcile
the smart ankle length of this seasons
skirts with long train-which accom-
plishment is not without difficulties.
The satin bodice has a square neck
which the bride may choose to fill in
with a guimpe of flmy lace or net, or
wear as II Is, since her throat is COW
cred by a scarf of tulle-part of the
very interesting arrangement of the
most voluminOus of wedding wells.
The veil falls from a cap which has
a puff of tulle for its crown and
band of orange blossoms that form n
heavy wreath with long, slender sprays
falling at each side. These trailing
sprays have appeared in other arrange
ments of the cap this season. All the
tulle that can be put into veil envel-
ops the bride in this stately costume
and perhaps this accounts for the pearl
beads that outline the square neck
opening and emphasize it. Jewelry
has been conspicuous by its absence in
the costumes of this years brides, but
a necklace of pearls has always been
allowed and one Is worn in this in
stance. If pearls are for tears" the
bride, being q very modern and up-to-
date young woman, has decided to defy
fate.

osene is floating. The water prevents
the insects from escaping, and the
Kerosene, being on the surface, kills
the insects with which ii comes In
contact Collecting nests are valuable
for some pests; for example, the tar
nished plant bug. Brushing by differ
ent means is used to considerable
extent and consists in beating or brush
ing insects from the plants with pine
bOughs or similar brush. This method
has proved of great value in combating
the pea aphis. Covering with cloth Is
of use as n preventive for the striped
cucumber beetle when the cucumbers
are quite small, and for root-maggots.
Trapping by different methods with
old boards is useful for squash bugs
and cutworms. Poisoned bats may
be placed under such traps. Flowing,
dlsking, and narrowing all can be done
by hand and are of considerable serv-
ice. :
Spraying Methods.
To be successful in the control or
insects and diseases, spraying must be
done promptly and thoroughly. Spray
ing with bordeaux mixture should be
done before rains rather than after,
provided the spray has time to dry
on the leaves. Intervals between spray
ing should depend on the weather.
If it is rainy or muggy, with fogs or
heavy dews, spray frequently to keep
the foliage protected at all times. IL
dry, a longer time may be allowed.
The ideal spray is a fine mist, and
the best work is done when the plant
is throughly and evenly covered with
fine drops. Stop spraying before the
foliage is drenched.
The higher the pressure, the better
the spray.
Clean oil sprayers each time after
using.
For delicate foliage, spray after this
gets under shade. Hot sunlight is dam
gerous with many sprays, such as kero-
sene emulsion.
