Color Combinations Most Striking

The most vivid colors are being used
IN street clothes as well as In those
for indoor wear. One Is developed
from navy blue taffeta used In con-
nection with green and black striped
taffeta. The striped silk forms a tun-
&c which is hung over a very finely
plated blue undersklrt.
The color combinations IN cotton
frocks are even more striking than
those in the silks. II Is interesting to
study some OF these because cotton
dresses will play very important
part in the fashionable summer ward
robe. Their use will not be confined
to the country; we will wear them in
town as well; In fact, almost any place
where a simple silk or cloth frock has
been worn in other years.
Bold Patterns and High coIorlngs.
Some Of the latest novelties in cot

This vari-colored chain or filling-in

how the color tone Is achieved. OF
course, this silk is the most costly Of

art and the difficulty OF setting up the
chain In a thousand colors and then

filling. Nor are these marvellous taf-

SWEET POTATO STORAGE

There is no mystery about building
satisfactory storage house for sweet
potatoes. Southern farmers who are
paying large prices fol patented plans,
and equipment alleged to provide the
only successful way Of storing sweet
potatoes, are being defrauded. SPEC
cialists Of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture whose attention re-
Gently has been called to instances IN
which farmers have paid as high as
$50 for sets Of plans, do not hesitate
10 brand such activities as plain hum
buggery. Plans Of houses that moor
porate the simple principles Of storage
and common sense methods Of con-
|struction, and which have proved sue
cessful by years Of careful trial. are
furnished free by the department to
any farmer who will ask for them.
Because reports have been made and
circulated in the South that storage
houses recommended by the depart
ment are not satisfactory, it is believ-
ed necessary, now that the time to
provide adequate storage for the com
ing harvest is at hand. to correct such
statements. One man who plans to
sell has said that the shrinkage Of
sweet potatoes stored in houses de-
signed by the government specialists
is from Is to 20 per cent, while in
houses Of his design there is practi-
cally no shrinkage. The faIlacy of
such a claim, department specialists
point out, hes in the fact that shrink
age is essential to good keeping of the
potatoes. Sweet potatoes stored in the
type Of house recommended by the de-
partment shrink from s to 10 per cent
in weight, not BULKY reason of
evaporation Of surplus moisture. Pro-
per curing of sweet potatoes means
getting rid Of surplus moisture, and
the type Of house which the specialists
suggest accomplishes this by combin-
ing the ordinary principles of good
ventilation with common-sense meth
DDS Of construction.
Storage houses built according to
plans suggested by the department
have been in use in every state Of the
South for five or six years. The de-
partment has no knowledge of fail
ure in any house built and operated
strictly according to recommendations.
-Four years Of investigation with 100
houses under observation showed that
the average loss by decay, after an
average storage period Of 124 days,
was less than 2 IL per cent.

OPERATIVE SOCIETIES EN-
TER FIELD OF PRODUCTION


The Consumers and producers Co.
operative organizations Of the Western
States are practically being forced BY
economic circumstances to enter the
field Of production. For inctance, the
growers Of sugar beets in California
are being paid poor prices for their
crops by the refiners. and in many To-
caligies the idea Of a cooperative SUI
gar refinery IS becoming popular. "A
branch society of the Pacific Coop
erative League is now being formed
IL Buena Park, near Los Angeles. The
farmers Of this district are IN earnest
about the launching Of a cooperative
refinery. using the local cooperative
society as a distributive center. The
plan is considered feasible, although
caution will be exercised in order that
success may be guaranteed.
The entire output of coal mine
III New Mexico has been contracted

The miners in the New Hexico coal
fields are anxious to assist in starting
a cooperative coal mine. A suitable
mine is being sought and preliminary
plans for taking it over are now being
considered, details to be announced
later. For years, the Pacific Cooper
alive League has distributed coal to
its members in California, saving them
many thousands Of dollars. A coop
eTatively -owned and operated coal
mine within the near future is almost
a certainty.
Farmers in various dairy sections Of
