all the fiber necessary for the present
needs have already been imported to
the United States.
Although there is no danger for
this years Irvine supply, officials of
the department of agriculture are
somewhat apprehensive over the effect
that the low prices for fiber prevailing
now will have upon the production
of henequen during the next few years.
Low prices, according to reports to
the department, are leading the grow
ers In Yucatan to reduce their plant
Ing, with the result that real short
age Of the fiber five or six years hence
is very likely possibility.
The labor outlook is not so cheer
full. The supply Of hired farm labor
Is about Y per cent of the normal.
Although no appropriation was made
by congress this year for carrying on
the department Of agriculture's war
time activities In aiding the farmers
to get labOrers, the department is do
ing what 1t can to assist farmers with
this problem. The state directors of
extension and the county agents are
aiding in bringing together farmers
and men who want jobs on farms.
Calls for "Shock Troops"
Results are expected from the ap-
peal Of Secretary of Agriculture Mere

others to spend their vacations work

in harvest fields. Frequent inquiries
are being received by the department
from university and college students
as to where their services could best
be used. The need for the now fam
GUS "shock troops"-vOluntee helpers
from the city who shocked wheat
that gave such good account of them
selves In the harvest fields during the
war is believed to be as urgent this
year as in those trying days. The
mobilization of these forces is what
Secretary Meredith is seeking to &C.
complish.
According to reports Of the depart
ment, Kansas leads all other wheat
growing states in it's demands for la
bor-50,OOO outside men is its esti-
mated need. Nebraska requires 5000
additional men for its harvest, and
Oklahoma, 1000 or 5000 No figures
have been received as to the require
ment for the Dakotas. It Is expected,
though, that the labor shortage there
will be largely met by the workers in
the other wheat states which have
earlier harvest seasons. The central
employment Office established by the
department of labor in Kansas City
is undertaking the task of gathering
the laborers and distributing them in
the various localities.

WAR MATERIAL DISTRIBUTED
Equipment Turned Over Promises to
Be Great Aid in Carrying Out
Road Building Plan.

TO date the war department has
turned over to the United States de-
partment of agriculture approximately
24,OOO motor vehicles as provided in
congressional legislation empowering
the latter department to distribute this
war material among the state high
way commissioners for use in road
building, allOtments of the vehicles
to be based on the amount of federal
aid for roads which the states receive.
This is practically all the vehicles
which the war department has to re-
lease. Of this total 1900 have been
delivered to the states. The remain
der will be distributed as fast as rail-
way cars can be secured for their
transportation. Representatives Of
the bureau Of public roads, in charge
Of the matter, believe that within two
or three months all Of the vehicles
will have been delivered to the states.
This equipment promises to be great
aid in carrying the large road build
ing program for 1920.
The state highway commissioners
are also interested in securing allOt-
ments of tractors, steam shOvels, To-
connective cranes, antomotive cranes,
industrial railway track, dump cars
and industrial locomotives which re-
main to be disposed of by the war
department. A measure known as
the Kahn bill, directing the secretary
of war to release this material for the
state highway commissioners, has
passed the senate and has been re-
ported out of committee In the house.

COULD DOUBLE CORN YIELDS
Desirable to Produce Enough to Meet
All Demands on Smaller Num-
Der Of Acres.

Corn yields per acre In the United
States could be doubled within a few
years, and this could be accomplished
without increase in work or expense.
1t is not to be understood that it is
desirable to double the present corn
crop, but that it is desirable to pro-
duce enough to meet all needs on a
smaller number of acres and with less
labor, says the United States depart
ment of agriculture. If 60 bushels are
raised on one acre instead of on two
acres, the labor of blowing narrowing.

geSt cool leafy shadows cast by the
trees. One of these is shown in the
picture with handle in black and white
enamel, and this model proves very
practical. Black and white handles,
furnished with large rings to slip over
the wrist when the parasol is furled,
have proved very popular. Hanging
the parasol in this way is about the
easiest and safest way of caring for it
when it is off duty as protector from
the sun. There are a number of
bracelet ideas in handles, including
those of narrow black ribbon with gold
or silver slides that carry engraved
monograms.
A wide-brimmed hat of faille silk
overlaid with lace and having frill
of lace about the brim- edge, makes a
soft shadow over the face that is
deepened and widened by parasol to
match. AS shown in the picture, the
set is developed in black silk and white
lace, but the color that underlieS the
lace is matter for individual choice.
Wide white lace with a border pro-
vides a means of covering a parasol
and hat like this with very little
trouble; any seamstress can accom-
plish the work.
The Country club" set shown in the
third picture includes a scarf with
the hat and parasol so that there are
three pieces in it. Pink indestructible
crepe is used for this set, and the
braid and embroidery decorations are
in the same color.

n ME out of mind gay and dainty
l. parasols have Haunted their
bright colOrs in the midsummer's sun
shine and cast their soft or glowing
shadows over fair faces. But during
the war they did not flourish. Being
among the luXuries that could be dis
pensed with and for other reasons,
they were not so much used. This
season, however, finds them revived,
and with midsummer just around the
corner, they have come out in consid-
cradle force and in distinct styles.
Many of them appear to take their
cue from midsummer millinery, show
ing a repetition of the fabrics and COL
ors used in hats, and there are para
soils for dress, street and country wear
that correspond to dress, tailored and
sports hats. The simpler designs out
number the more elaborate ones.
For wear with almost any frOck the
green parasol with bands of black, or
cross bars Of black, and all white or
white and black designs have the fac
ulty of making a pleasing ensemble.
But If one is not confined to single
choice, the made-to-match parasol, of
the same materials as the hat worn
with 1t, is smarter than any other.
For the street there are navy blue and
white combinations in which white OF
candle figures as border and in folds
