IN THE engrossing business of Sc
i lecting clothes for spring, women
concern themselves first with their
outer apparel; hats, wraps, suits,
dresses lead off in the procession of
new things made ready for the advent
of summer. Negligees can afford to
come last. 1t is their mission to be
beautiful and comfortable within the
four walls of home and their fascina-
tionssare never overlooked. Some of
their designers pay little attention ito
the seasons; it is always summer.
time with them-but others remember
there is such a thing as chilly wealth
er occasionally, even indoors.8 The
new negligees include many lovely
things made of sheer materials and
there is good representation Of heav-
Ter goods They are all made up into
graceful garments in which clever
draping is the dominant style note.

BATTLE ON BARBERRY
is BEING CONTINUED
approximately 100000 Plants
Destroyed in 1919.
Federal and State Authorities Conn

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture.)
Approximately 100000 common
barberry bushes were dug up and de-
stroyed during 1919 in connection with
the combined efforts Of federal and
state authorities to protect wheat
against black stem rust which cannot
survive unless 1t is able to spend one
period in its life cycle on the leaves
of the common barberry. For this
work the past year the federal gov
eminent appropriated $150,000. The
territory in which the fight was car
RED on comprises Colorado, Indiana,
Illinois. Iowa, Ohio, Michigan, Mime
sofa, Montana. Nebraska, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and,
Wyoming, which states supplemented
the federal funds to considerable de-
gree. The combined expenditures were
small in comparison with the. size OF
the menace to wheat production by
this disease. Cereal disease experts
in the United States department OF
agriculture estimate that the wheat
crop of 1919 in the United States was
reduced 100000 bushels by black
stem rust alone in addition to damage
by scab and other diseases. This dam
age by black stem rust has only been
exceeded in one previous season
namely in 1915, when the total reduc
tion of the wheat crop by this disease
was 200,000,000 bushels. In addition
to the 1919 loss of 100000 bushels
of wheat due to ravages of black stem
rust, there was loss of 100000
bushels of oats and 100000 bushels
of BARLEY due to the same cause. !;

GARDEN WORK IS
MOST IMPORTANT ?
Mistake e Think That Cultivation
is Done for Sole Purpose Of
Killing Noxious Plants.
ROOTS NEED SUPPLY OF AIR
Soil Particles Are Broken Up and
Plant Food Made Available for
Rootlets--Dust Mulch Will
Retain Moisture.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Most people have an idea that gar
dens are. cultivated solely for the pur-
pose Of killing weeds. AS matter Of
fact, the killing of weeds is just one
object of garden cultivation. say the
specialists Of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture. The roots of
plants require air just the same as do
the tops, and if the ground is packed
or hard or is sunbaked over the sur
face after beating rain, the roots of
the plants viii turn yellow, and If not
cared for will die. The same thing is
true where the land is poorly drained
and waterlogged. The water keeps
out the air and the roots cannot feed
the plants.
Cultivation has another object, in
that it breaks up the soil particles
and makes plant food available for
the feeding rootlets Of the plants.

In Some Gardens a Wheel Hoe Can
Be Used to Good Advantage.

:
Many persons, however, make the mis-
take Of cultivating too deeply, and by
so doing cut off or injure the feeding
rootlets and deprive the plant of its
source of nourishment and support.
Frequent shallow cultivation during
dry weather results in the formation
of a layer of fine dust which serves as
mulch or blanket to retain moisture.
.st cultivating After Rains.
The soil should always be cultivated
just as soon as it is sufficiently dry to
be safely worked after heavy rains. If
1t is not cultivated, crust forms, the
surface bakes and the crops are in
jured. The same will apply where ir-
rigation is used, and it has been found
best to give the soil thorough soak
ing, then cultivate as soon as it is dry
enough, and apply no more water I'M
til absolutely necessary.
The hoe and the steel rake are the
most important tools for cultivating
the small garden. On larger scale
a wheel hoe and horse cultivator
may be used to advantage. Even
where horse-drawn tools are OCCASION
ally used. the greater part Of the
work, especially during dry weather,
may be performed byHmeans of COM
mon steel rake. 1t is not necessary
to go very deeply into the soil, but
merely to stir the surface.
= A Tool That HsIps.
A handy little tool for l0osening the
soil can be made from a piece, of thin
board two inches wide and fourteen
inches long, with one end whitfield
down to form a handle and the oppo-
site end provided with three No. 6 or
No. box nails or wire brads. This
little homemade implement can be
used very soon after rain to loosen
the surface, SO that any small seeds
can break through The wheel-hoe
outfits are provided with number of
different shovels and scratchers
adapted for the different types of work
to be performed. These implements
have the advantage that one can go
over the garden very rapidly and
break up the surface Of the soil In a
comparatively short time. 1t is gen.
orally necessary, however, to follow
with the hoe to remove any weeds that
have been destroyed by the wheel Gull
tivator. W
Kill Weeds Young.
It should be borne in mind that the
time to kill weeds is when they are
just coming through the ground. If
allowed to become established, 1t is
much more difficult to get rid of them
than If they are taken in time. If the
top two inches fof soil is kept con-
tinuously and thoroughly loosened. no
serious difficulty In keeping out weeds
is probable.

SHOULD CONSERVE STEVENS
COUNTY POTATO SUPPLY

Stevens county farmers are now
selling and shipping out potatoes
which Stevens county will have to-
replace in the spring at much
greater price.
1t is not talking at all eXtrava-
gantly to say that potatoes will be
worth in the neighborhood of $500
per hundred in the spring, and our
attention has been called to the fact
that Stevens county farmers are now
selling out their supply at $3.50.
This figure would not be so bad
but Stevens county residents will be
shipping in again in the spring at
a great increase in price which will
result in taking much money out
of the county to the disadvantage
of not only the consumer but to the
farmer and to his financial loss.
1t is therefore important at this
time to hold onto your supply of po-
tatoes. You will have some loss on
them through deterioration in stor-
age, but the gain in price will offset
this and leave margin.-County
Agent.
