Serious injury to the winter wheat
crop Of 1920 by the Hessian fly seems
extremely probable. Reports received
by the United States department Of
agriculture chronological experts in
the Mississippi basin winter wheat re-
gion indicate rapid increase of the
Hessian fly in that important wheat
growing district. These reports show
that considerable young wheat already
has been killed by the Hessian fly, and
that serious losses to the crop of 1920
are almost certain.
Unless winter wheat growers east
Of the Rocky mountains can be induced
to unite in a concerted movement to
observe the approved methods of COM
batting the Hessian fly during the sum-
mer and fall of 1920, it seems that a
disastrous general outbreak of the
pest very probably will occur in 1921.
A shortage of farm labor and unfa-
vorable weather conditions at planting
time have combined to influence many
wheat growers in planting their grain
too early in the season. This has re-.
suited in a heavy fnfestation of Hes
sian fly In practically all Of this early
planted wheat.
Damage Feared In East.
A dangerously heavy infestation Of
Hessian fly also exists in the Piedmont
plain wheat regions lying east Of the
Appalachian mountains and embracing
Maryland, Virginia and eastern Penn
sylvania. Complaints Of serious Hes
sian fly damage in that region have
already begun to be heard, and there
is at present every indication that
early-sown wheat in these states will
be considerably if not seriously re-
duced In yield this year.
There is no remedy for the Hessian

PROVIDE WATER FOR CATTLE
Ponds, Springs, Trouehs and Other
Facilities Should Be Cleaned
and Put In Shape.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Before turning cattle that have been
kept in the barn or lot during the
winter onto pasture good water
supply should be carefully provided
for. Ponds, springs, watering troughs
or other facilities for watering should
be cleaned and put into shape. It is
frequently thought that the water sup
ply is abundant early IN the season
and therefore that no attention need
be given to it. This is mistake, as
springs and ponds fill up during the
winter and troughs become damaged

80 they fail to hold sufficient water
for the needs of the cattle. In most
cases the water supply cannot be
materially increased, so care must be
taken to conserve what is available.
1T Is advisable to fence around springs
ito prevent the cattle from tramping
the earth and polluting the water.
The maximum use of water from a
spring can be obtained ky providing
two or three troughs set so that the
overflow from one will run into the
next one. This arrangement not only
makes the water more accessible to
the stock but keeps it cleaner and
better.

sport costumes to go with the several
sweaters every woman now has to
have. There is the sweater for rough
ing it in camp, and there is the sweater
for posing about on the country club
veranda-and between are many other
varieties of sweaters
Newest of the new is the cutaway
slipon. Needless to prophesy that this
sweater will have tremendous vogue.
1t is so smart, so dashing and so diff
ferent from other sweaters that have
gone before that it's vogue is predes-
tined. The gay little cutaway fastens
on the shoulders with pearl buttons
and buttonhOles and neckline, armhole
and turned-up lower edge are finished
with crochet stitch in contrasting color.
The sweater itself is knitted-an easy
stitch with which every woman who
has knitted war sweaters is familiar.
The ribbed section at the front of the
waistline makes the little cutaway
jacket fit like glove and the cutaway
extension is turned up and caught
with buttons making pockets-into
which nothing must be put, however,
for fear of spelling the trim line of the
sweater.

Women Clever With Needle Can
Save on Clothing.
High Cost Of Materials Behooves Ma
IorIty to Fashion Their, Own
st Simple Gowns.

There is no denying that home
dressmaking, at least for grown-ups, is
less popular than it used to be. There
are several reasons for this, one be-
Ing that so far as cotton frocks were
concerned the American manufa cturer
offered such smart designs at such rea-
sonable figures that 1t did not pay the
average woman to cut and plan and
sew simple cotton or bingham frock.
But like everything else, since the war,
the summer frock of ordinary materi-
ais has increased In cost until $25 or
$50 Is now the usual figure for gown
that few years ago could be made by
a woman clever with the needle at from
SIS to 81. And even when the services
of the dressmaker by the day were en-
listed to supplement home talent the
summer frock was still inexpensive.
But different tale is related now
adays and while no sensible person
would recommend that an inexperi-
enced woman should undertake to
fashion serge or satin gown, there
- no good reason why, fortified by
good patterns, one who is accustomed
to sewing cannot turn out simple cot

Always Something New Regarding
Clothing Designed for Women and

It is sometimes said that fashions
are talked about so much that nothing
new can be said of them, but when
one remembers the important part
they play in all civilized countries, both
from commercial and an artistic
standpoint, observes a fashion writer,
1t would seem to be a subject which
touches every one In some way and
In which all people are more or less
concerned.
Some may claim that It is a frivo-
lous topic and that they are indiffer-.
emit to 1t, but If they recall what has
been said, that it affects financially
more than half of the worlds workers,
and that the remainder Of society are
interested In clothes because they
wear them, it would seem to involve
In some way every civilized person.
and be subject about which there Is
constantly something new, however
cleverly written the articles concern
ing them may be that have appeared
from time immemorial.
The industrial value of clothes be-
gins way back in the growing Of the
wool, the cotton, the fax, mohair, null
berry trees, the getting of skins and
mining of precious stones and metals.
From there 1t passes through the
various processes of refining, polish
ing, manufacturing, weaving and mer-
chandising until finally it reaches the
use for which it Is destined-clothing
for all people of the civilized coun-
tries.
Through this process one may trace
one of the great economic factors Of
the age.
Education, culture, necessities and
luxuries all show the influence of
clothes as a commercial factor, and
the more clearly we realize this the
more inter est shall we have in the sub
ject and the more clearly shall we see
how necessary and how attractive the
subject really is In its many varying
phases.

burnt orange satin, plain or covered

open throat and loose sleeves, 1t is adj

over short, straight, anticipated

fact that the true Chinese cloak
