CAN OR DRY FARM PRODUCTS
Fruits and Vegetables Can Be Gatn.
cred and Treated When at Proper
Stage Of Ripeness.


It Is particularly desirable to can or
dry the fruits and vegetables raised
on the farm, as the raw. products can
be gathered and treated when abso-
lutely fresh and at just the proper
stage of ripeness and tenderness Tor
best results, says the United States
department Of agriculture.
The average farm family probably
cans annually more than 15O quarts
Of fruits and vegetables, the greater
part Of which is fruit. Canning clubs
have been instrumental In stimulating
interest In canning on the farm. The
drying of fruits and vegetables, an old
farm art until recently on the decline
has been revived quite generally with.
in the past two years. This process
offers a good means Of preserving
perishables without entailing expense
for containers, as In canning.

LADIES' DEPARTMENT
Love of characterization Cannot Be Sup
pressed; Yellow Is Appearing for
Midsummer Clothes.

It is interesting, comments fashion
correspondent, to observe the simpllci-
ty that is replacing the extreme ex-
trayagance that directly followed the
war--an extravaganza in the wake OF
which came a mass of i'll assorted fash
ions We have had during the last
two years many styles positively gro
tesque, such as the long narrow skirts,
SO narrow that their wearers looked
like cripples hobblng along.
Down through the centuries history
shows that every period of extreme
dressing has been followed by one OF
simplicity. There is little likelihood
that dress will remain simple for any
length of time. While there is always
the reaction from an extreme, the love
of OrnamentatiOn cannot be sup
pressed. Dress began, not as cover
Ing for the body, but as an ornament.
The primitive savage adorned his BODY
with the juices of berries long before
he thought of a covering.
Yellow is appearing in great many
of the clothes for midsummer wear
Two shades of yellow and sometimes
three or four are combined in the same
costume. Yellow is distinctly a sum
mer color, and has always been Ia
vOrite in hot climates.
A combination of several shades o1
yellow appears in chiffon evening
frocks 1t makes one cool to think
of such a dress. One just completed
by fashionable dressmaker has TN
skirt composed Of petals, one SHADE
placed over another. 1t ranges from
palest lemon to deepest apricot, ant
Is sashed with wide apricot cOlOre(
satin ribbon. The bodice topping thl
friIly skirt is just a simple band O
satin to match the sash with a wisp,
bit of lemon cOlored chiffon drape'
over it.
