TIATS have long been conceded the
l. i place of first Importance in the
matter of smart dressing-they do won
ders for those who know how to select
them-but up-to-date women are In
clined to dispute this supremacy.
Blouses, smocks and small coatees or
jackets that will dress one up to any
degree of formality are making things
Interesting for millinery. These brill
liant garments rival hats in gay beau
ty and are the most convenient of be-
longings, for they are not difficult to
make, and they tone up the wardrobe
without any great expenditure Of time
or money.
A lovely example which may be
classed as either a coatee or smock
appears in the Illustration above.

MANURE SPREAD OVER FIELD
SUMS Rays Get at Every Part OF It
When Scattered Evenly, Destroy
ing Bacteria.

When manure Is spread evenly over
the surface of field the sun 5 rays eet
at every part of 1t. This is factor
of much Importance, since sunlight Is
one Of bacteria's greatest enemies.
Through 1t they are either killed or
rendered dormant. Furthermore, the
waste begins to dry up-a fact which,
even without the action of sunlight,
would render the bacterial life mac
tive. Thus. the formation Of ammonia
is checked In short order as result
of the breaking up Of the conditions
which are favorable to bacterial life.
1t should be remembered In this con-
nectiOn that no loss enSueS when ma
nure spread as thin layer over the
surface Of field Is permitted to dry
out, It loses nothing under such con-
ditions save moisture. If, while lying
in this fashion in field, it becomes
wet through rain or melting snow
nothing worse happens than a washing
of the soluble portions directly into the
soil where it is desired they should go.
All possibility Of further decay and
heating has been eliminated by the
simple process Of rearranging the
waste from that of heap to that of a
thin layer spread over the surface.

effect on the resulting OdOr than the
number Of bulblets. Those full OF
Juice contaminate -four more readily
than drier ones.
One of the serious results Of the
presence Of garlic in wheat is the
clogging Of the corrugations Of the
rolls in the mills so that they cannot
function properly. Under such con-
ditions 1t Is sometimes necessary for
the mills to shut down two or three
times a day in order to scrape and
wash the rolls. This slows up the
work. reduces the output. and in
creases the cost of production per
unit. There Is little demand for flour
made from garlicky wheat. therefore
mills have to discount it when 1t is
sold from % cents to ST barrel. 1t
is used chiefly for blending with sweet
flours.
The difficulties of removing garlic
bullets from wheat suggest the i'm
portance Of its eradication from the
fields whenever this is possible. Wild
garlic forms two kinds Of underground
bulbs-soft- shelled and hard-shelled.
This fact has been used as a basis
for the recommendations Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture for its eradica-
ton. The soft-shelled bulbs terminate
in the late summer or fall, while the
hard-shelled bulbs form new plants
the following season. Late fall plow-
Ing is recommended to destroy the
plants from the soft-shelled bulbs be-
fore they form new bulbs.
Should Be Eradieated From Fields.
The field should be planted to a
titled crop the following spring. Any
crop so planted should be carefully
titled, preferably with the knife or
sweep type of implement. This will
destroy the plants arising from the
hard-sheled bulbs. AS the hard bulbs
last two years it.will be necessary to
repeat fall blowing, followed by an
other titled crop. Rye may be sown
after the late fall blowing and turned
under for green manure the following
spring.
Many farmers make a practice Of
throwing weeds of various sorts out
of the bundles at the time of shock
ing wheat 1t has been found that
if the entire product of the field is
removed from the land at harvest
time great care taken in planting
only seed that is free from garlic and
other weeds, and proper crop rotation
practiced considerable progress In gar
lie eradication can be made within a
few years. 1t is believed by depart
ment officials that If this is done it
will be possible in time to eliminate,
or at least greatly reduce, the garlic

prepared by the United States Depart

Because the presence of garlic or
wild onion In wheat decreases its
market value materially, special
study of the problem of marketing
wheat so tainted has been made by
the bureau of markets and crop estl-
mates, United States Department OF
Agriculture The purpose of the
study was to ascertain how such wheat
Is purchased from producers, as re-
CARDS grades and price at the primary
grain markets of Maryland, and the
effect, If any, on the producer.
The average garlic content OF ~
samples of Maryland wheat taken
from wagons, elevators, bins, and mills
was 40 bulblets to a pound. Millers
We're unanimous In saying that the
presence of garlic greatly decreases
the milling value for a number of rea-
sons, such as the greater risks from
spoilage, the extra cleaning and pre-
paration required for milling, the
lower flour yields, the greater cost OF
manufacturing, and the lower market
value of the resultant flour.
BuIbIets Vary in Size.
Garlic bulblets range in size from
that of kernel Of wheat to that OF a
pea seed. The specific gravity OF the
bullets is less than that of the wheat
kernel, though it varies with the sea
son and with the weather conditions.
The bulblets are heaviest at harvest
time, as later the moisture evapOrates
and they lose weight. The greater
risk Of spoilage in garlicky wheat is
due to the Preventative or germinative
action In wheat started by the alb
sorption of moisture from the garlic
bullets. AS this is slow process,
the danger Of spoilage is slight where
grain Is handled or moved frequently.
None Of the special cleaners for re-
moving the garlic is entirely satisfac-
tory. Some Of them remove too small
a part of the garlic. and some remove
too much wheat when removing the
garlic. 1t was noted that the con-
dition Of the bulblets had more of an

These same men agreed that the
principal disadvantage of motortrucks
is poor roads. For about eight weeks

that trucks cannot well be used. When

lished, agricultural use Of mOtOrtrucks

BARLEY GOOD FEED FOR HOGS
lIse Of This Grain for Pork Produc-
ton Has Increased in Impor-
tance-is Carbonaceous.

With the cessation Of the extensive
mailing of barley. the use Of this grain
for pork production has increased in
Importance. According to the United
States Department of Agriculture, the
market price Of barley per pound, as
compared with corn, has frequently
been less, and it has been found profit
able to convert ii into pork. Whole
barley Is not desirable as stock feed
on account of the hardness of the
grain. However, when the barley is
soaked or ground and soaked its feed
ing efficiency Is greatly increased. AL
though barley contains little more
protein than corn, it is, primarily, a
carbonaceous feed, and must be used
with a protein concentrate as a sup
element. Generally, however, barley
is a less satisfactory feed than corn
for fattening hogs. The rapidity and
economy of gains from barley depend
largely upon It's quality.
