Short Skirt Is

American designers writes a New
York fashion correspondent, have
taken their places once and for all as
leaders in the ranks Of fashion.
Abroad one hears the women of fash
ion slghingly say, "Oh, If only l could
have one of those American suits-Or
one Of those American something
else |" We are producing here some
conspicuously-- beautiful creations,
ones that are distinctly the express
sions of our own personalities.
They accuse us CT dressing all alike.
Well, IL we do, that is because the
American women have refused to open
their eyes sufficiently to the possibil-
ties of these American creations, for
they are not all designed alike by any
manner of means, and any sameness
in our dressing cannot be laid at the
doors of the artists who are working
so hard to set the pace along distinc-
tive American lines.
The fashion shows this spring, pre-
senting strictly American-made fash
ions, have been a treat to the eye. The
crudities which once were apparent
are fast disappearing, and one de-
lights in a showing of American gowns

Of design and construction as because

Although their efforts to eradicate
the potato wart from the 100 acres or
less in which it has found Judgment in
the United States are as yet incon-
elusive, pathological experts of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture are continuing an intensive scien-
tific warfare to stamp out the disease.
The infection, which has been found in
only II mining villages in Pennsylva-
mia, West Virginia and Maryland, is
one of the most stubborn with which
the department has ever had to cope.
Potato wart was introduced by impor-
tatiOns of foreign potatoes prior to the
establishment in 1912 of the federal
quarantine prohibiting the importation
of potatoes from countries where the
disease was known to occur.
Soil sterilization tests by means of
steam and chemicals were carried out
in infested gardens In Pennsylvania
and West Virginia in 1919 and 1920.
The methods tested were: Live steam
under an inverted iron pan; a solution
Of fOrmaldehyde applied to the soil,
both alone and in combination with
steam and the use Of chemical solu-
lions, including bordeaux mixture, mer-
curic chloride, and sulphuric acid. The
worth Of each method was tested by
planting a susceptible variety of pota-
toes on the treated plots. None Of the
chemical treatments resulted in COM
plete eradication of the disease, and
steam sterilization, while 1t appeared
to be successful in the small trial plots,
involved such great expense and diff
Guilty as to leave the practicability Of
eradication still in doubt.

cialists of the United States Depart

merely a meager scattering over the
surface, but an application about two
inches thick. 1t should be applied In
the fall to form protecting cover dur
ing the winter. If this is done, the
manure should be turned under as
early in the spring as possible, but any
material too rough to turn under
should be piled in a compost heap to
rot. Only well-rotted manure should
be applied in the spring as top dress

Skirts are longer in Paris-that one

some one else likes them longer, so
there is at least a choice, and every

the really great comfort with which
they are constructed. This newer high

soil when the land is being puIverized
ready for planting.
Several crops require special fertil-
izers For instance, lettuce, cabbage,
spinach, kale, and in fact all of the
salad crops, and those which are grown
for green's, need plenty of nitrogen to
make leaf growth. These crops might
well be stimulated during their grow
ing period by a little nitrate of soda,
not exceeding ten pounds on a tenth
of an acre at any one application. The
applications should be at least three
weeks apart. 1t should not be applied
within six inches of the plants or in
too large quantities, or burning will
follow and injure the plants. Fruits
and crops like beans, peas and corn,
that are grown for their seeds, need
plenty of phosphoric acid. Root crops.
as potatoes, carrots and beets, require
plenty Of potash.
Many gardens are improved by ap-
plicatiOns of lime. However, 1t may
injure Irish potatoes, for lime pro.
notes scab, a disease to which they
are susceptible. Except on land to be
planted in potatoes, lime applied once
every three years at the rate of 200 to
300 pounds on a tenth-acre garden will
be a decided advantage. 1t helps to
sweeten the soil, thus making it more
suitable to crop production, and it
makes heavy clay soils lighter and easy
to cultivate.

WATER FROM ARTESIAN WELL
Why Method of Bringing 1t to Sur

tain Localities.

Arteslan wells are possible only in
certain localities. When there are
pervious strata lying between i'm
p~erviOuS beds the water percOlating
through will be imprisoned lying up
on the lowest, and rising to some
point in the highest, when IA ~pervious
stratum brings ii to the surface and
it escapes in the form of spring. If,
however, Il shaft can be sunk To the
lowest point, the water Of the whole
basin will pass upward for escape
and will rise to q level, corresponding
to the greatest height to which the
imprisoned strata reaches. The wells
were named from n ut ArtOiS,
France. which was the first sunk with
full knowledge Of the principle in
yolvCd. The Chinese from time i'm
memorial have used these wells, and
they have also been used for cen
turtles in the neighDorhood of Vienna.
