OATS BEST CROP
Statistics Show Advantages
Over Corn Growing.
On Comparatively Cheap Land In
Western Canada Farmers Get Rec
ord Ylelds-cost Per Acre Much
Less Than Corn.

How much more does 1t cost to
grow an acre of corn than to grow an
acre of oats1 To get proper COM
parison 1t is necessary to take an IL
lustration from q farm on which both
crops are grown successfully. An ex-
ample has just been brought to the
writer's attention of the comparative
cost of growing corn and oats on
Minnesota farm. 1t is furnished by
Albert Inner, well-known farmer in
Cottonwood county, MINI, in an ar
ticle which appeared in the Cotton
wood Citizen.
Mr.. Inner says: 81 had curiosity
to know how much 1t would cost to
raise an acre of oats and corn. To
find out i kept account. during the
year. OF the time required and the
cash expended to grow the above men,
toned crops" His figures show that
1t cost him S31.4 to grow an acre of
corn and s1S13 1-3 to grow an acre of
oats. or difference of $500 an acre
in favor of oats.
Provided the respective crop yields
are not altogether out of proportion to
the cost of growing the crop. this
seems to be a good argument in favor
of growing oats. But to grow oats
successfully 1t is not necessary to use
$50 or 5000 land. In western Canada
some of the best oat-growing land in
the world can be bought for about $50
an acre. On this land good yields and
a high quality of grain Is obtainable.
Fifty to sixty bushels to the acre
in properly prepared land is a fair
average yield for oats In western Can
ada In a normal season but yields of
up to 100 bushels and even more, to
the acre lave been frequent in good
years. The quality OF oats grown in
western Canada is attested by the fact
that at all the international exhibit
lions for many years past oats grown
In western Canada have been award
ed the leading prizes There is on
record oats grown in western Canada
that have weighed as much as 40
pounds to the measured buskel, and

standard weight for n bushel of oats
is 81 pounds.

Popular Midsummer Garment
Made of White French Crepe.
Substitute for Sweater and Is Distinct.
iy for Country; Sport Hats
Are Available.

Garden sInocks for midsummer are
OF white French crepe, embroidered
In combination of many colors, such
as green, rose, blue and yellow. These
oiouses. being designed especially for
not weather wear in the country. are
cut with square neck, somewhat low,
and short sleeves. Very often the bot
toms are trimmed with fringed rib
Don of color to blend with the en-
broidery. For those who desire even
more elaboration they may be had
with rows of narrow bright colored
ribbon, one above the other, outlining
the neck and sleeves. Sashes are
made for them by joining rows Of rib
bons.
All this sounds very gay, but, since
they are distinctly for the country
and Intended to take the place of the
sweater. 1t is almost impossible to
make them too bright. Such blouses
are much more becoming to NEST
figures than the ordinary shirtwnlst.
Now is an excellent time to buy
sport hats. Shapes in these are very
much the same year after year, their
interest lying chiefly in the materials
and trimmings. Early In the season
1t is difficult to End good-looking sport
hats. Now there are any number of
pretty ones, so 1t is a good plan to
buy with an eye to what will be use
eul not only now but for starting the
next season.
1t is difficult to get hats that match
or harmonic with sweaters or shocks.
There are garden or sport hats of
braided straw that come in every
sweater shade. These are so soft
that they may be crushed into almost
any shape. Consequently, they are
easily packed in a travelling bag.

characterization of Byeone Days Re-
turns and Rich Pieces are
Brought Into Service.

If the styles of this year do not
inspire woman TO go down into her
trunk and look up the lace box of
other days then she is never likely
to get Inspiration again and she may
as well pass the lace on to someone
else, suggests fashion writer.
Haven't you moved that box of
Iaces around from trunk to trunk and
drawer to drawer until sometimes you
wished that 1t really could go to a
rummage sale?
But. of course, this summer you are
pIeased with yourself for having had
the perseverance to save all of them
in this box<and, in spite of the riot
of organdie, to be able to use every
scrap of lace. 1t doesn't matter par
ticularly what the width or whether
it IS black or white or even If 1t has
been dyed. And one is not confined
to any special material or TO any line
or set method of using 1t.
Not for years has one been able to
draw forth black or white lace
fourring. Collars and cuffs have been
about all the use offered for any kind
of lace. Perhaps the fact that 1t Is
ruffle year provides the place for
lace and yet we have seen other ruff
fie years which had no mention OF
lace ruffles.
This year deep lace fiouncing Is
used I'm all kinds of ways. One Is for
tunate to have a Chantilly flounce In
either white or black and the imita-
tioos arc used with exactly as pleas

An attractive use of lace appears
in an evening frock with ruffles of
fan-plaited lace cascading down the
entire side from the top of the bodice
to the hem CT the skirt. Draperies of
taffeta and lace are not confined to
frocks. They take quite as important
a place In midsummer millinery. The
taffeta is usually wound around the
hat to give draped effect and the
lace forms brim or falls as an eye
veil.

This Is the Day of Lace

All one needs with deep founcing
is nice slip of satin, the flounce of
white hung at the depth the lace will
allow, and net added to make the
tunic longer or shorter. A bit must
be saved out (most of the old flounced
gowns were wide enough to admit of
that and used in some way in the
bodice.
Many women do not like the scallop
at the bottom Of the founce. But in
this case hem of net can be cTeverly
added to the edge, filling in between
the scallops and cut out under the
scallops.

6OLSHEVISTS AT viSTULA
SOUTHEAST OF WARSAW
WERE FORCED BACK.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Warsaw, Aug. 1S.-The Russian
pressure upon Warsaw has been re-
1ieved, according to the official Polish
communique, just issued. The state
ment reported that General Pllsudski
directed the counter stroke that eff
fected this relief.
The statement says Bolshevists who
had planned to cross the Vistula south
east of Warsaw in the region of Macie-
jowice (thlrty-five miles from War
SAW were forced back.
The right wing of the fourth Polish
army, in breaking the soviet line at
Kocc (thirty-two miles south of Sic
dice) took 200 Russians prisoners and
captured some cannon and fourteen
machine guns.
The Polish counter offensive is de-
clared to be in full sway at various
points, with the soviet forces falling
back in confusion.
There were renewed signs at the
front that the French were taking a
more prominent part in the guidance
of the Polish army. General Wey-
gand is said to be responsible for the
new tactics employed.
The communique announces that the
Poles, in following up their counter
offensive to relieve the pressure on
Warsaw, have advanced along the en-
tire northern front. They have pushed
the Russians beyond the Wyra river
and regained Clechanow, the soviet
forces retreating while Polish aviatorh
fired on them with machine guns.
Fighting continues In the region of
Radzymin, to the northeast of Warsaw,
