The very little girls are INDUCED
in pretty taffeta or crepe coats. Here
also they follow the lead Of grown
ups, for the display reveals many mod
els in gray, bisque and light beige,
but blue and rose color have not been
entirely neglected and a. whole bevy
of cherry-red taffeta coats find ell
thusiastic admirers in the little folk,
and among their mothers. Many of
the silk and crepe coats have bonnets
to match.
Between the utility coat and these
splendid silk affairs for state Occa'
sions, there are pretty models made
of lightweight velOurs, broadcloth
and often these are decorated with
a little embroidery in the color of the
coat. Poiret twill is another favored

GRAIN ALLOWANCE FOR HENS

The backyard flock should have in
addition to the table scraps a light
feed of grain every morning.
Four or five handfuls of grain
about one-half pint-scattered in the
litter will be sufficient for flock of
20 to % hens. BY handful is meant
as much as can be grasped in the
hand. BY scattering it in the litter
the hens will be compelled to scratch
in order to find the grain and in this
way to take exercise, which Is decid-
eddy beneficial to them.
In case not enough good, sound,
substantial table scraps are available
to furnish full feeds, both at noon and
at night, another feed of the grain
mixture should be thrown into the IT.

consist of as much as the hens will
eat up clean, poultry specialists in
the United States Department of Agri
culture say. In summer or during
suitable weather the grain can be fed
by scattering 1t on the ground outside
the house. A good grain mixture for
this purpose is composed of equal
parts by weight Of wheat, cracked
corn, and oats. Another suitable
grain mixture is composed Of two
parts by weight Of, cracked corn and
one part Of oats. -, ,@,.

IN COATS for little folks as in
l. their hats, the season repeats many
style features Of importance IN grown
up apparel. Just like mama's' ap'
pears to be a strong argument in fay
or of anything that little ladies from
four to eight have the privilege of
choosing for themselves. In utility
coats there are such amusing little
affairs as the miniature shown above
where a brown, rough surface cloth
is made up with machine stitching
for decoration on its wide, cape collar
and rOomy sleeves and a narrow belt
that crosses at the front and buttons
at each side. It is as much like
grown-ups' in these features as it can
be.
Similar coats with narrower collars
are shown in sturdy wool materials
woven in youthful pattern, as black
and white checks, tan or grey with
small cross bars in green or red
navy and red--or other lively com.
binatiOns. It Is the material that is
featured in these and not the style
which is simply the straight coat
with plain sleeve and round collar.
They fasten with bone buttons.

prepared by the United States Del'a''-

Nothing equals plenty Of stable OF
yard manure to make a garden p'o'
produce the best crops. Gardeh spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture mean BY TINS not
merely meager scattering over lIle
surface, but an application about '"o
inches thick. 1t should be applied III
the fall to form a protecting cover our
ing the winter. If this is done, lhe
manure should be turned under as
early in the spring as possible, but any
material too rough to turn uhaei
should be piled in a compost heap 10
rot. Only well-rotted manure Shoulo
be applied in the spring rs top dress
iny. After the land has been ploWeo'
scatter the rotted manure over the
surface and work it in with the mar
row. If the garden is spaded the 'i''-
ullre should be worked in with spad-
ing fork or rake.
Elements Sometimes Deficient.
Large quantities Of manure sllou'o
be used. On a tenth-acre garden, llla'
Is, one measuring about 4312 1eet D!
100 feet, apply from one to Two IONS
two loads-in the fall. If truck IS
used for hauling one load generally
will be sufficient. If corresponding
amount is piled up in the autumn WIN
n little sod or soil mixed with 1t, ana
worked over once or twice during the
winter, it will give good supply OF
compost for use as a spring top dress
ing.
Where this amount Of manure IS
used very little chemical fertilizer IS
needed. However, manure very often
does not have sufficient quantity OF
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash in
1t, and it may be desirable to ado
commercial fertilizers containing = or
per cent nitrogen, s or 10 per cent
phosphoric acid and 3 to 6 per cent
potash, at the rate of 100 pounds on
q tenth-acre garden. This also can be
spread broadcast and worked into the
soil when the land is being pulverized

izers. For instance, lettuce, cabbage,

STORMS THREATEN

MOVE STARTS TO TURN MUCH OF
SEVERANCE LEVY INTO GEN.
ERAL FUND.
PROPOSE LEASE TAXATION
Barring Use Of Natural Gas in Carbon
Black Making Is Asked-BloW
Aimed at Support of Farm
College.

Baton Rouge, La.-Storm clouds
lowered over the Constitutional Con-
ventiOn when that body took its usual
weekend adjournment. The issues
that indicated the approach Of series
Of storms were:.
/. Demand Of the parishes with nat
ural resources for slice Of the sew
erance tax fund.
2. Movement by some Of the dele
gates to divert a large portion Of the
severance taxes into the general fund.
3. Proposed taxation of oil, gas and
other mineral leases on a basis OF pro-
duction.
4. Attempt to prevent the greater
agricultural college from getting the
benefit Of severance taxes.
S. Opposition in certain quarters to
the proposed tax of l mill after 1924
for the support and maintenance Of
the greater agricultural college.
s. Efforts to prohibit the use Of nat
ull gas in the manufacture of carbon
black.
The fight over a division OF the sew
erance tax presents several angles.
One Is the demand of parishes with
natural resources that they be per.
mitted to bite into the severance tax
plum. Another Is the declaration from
Governor Parker that there was a tacit
agreement with those who are paying
the severance tax that it would not be
increased. Still another IS the pro.
test of the interests affected that a
raise in the tax would be breach Of
faith. And still another Is the atti-
tude Of parishes receiving no revenue
from natural resources. These par
ishes contend that the natural re.
sources belong to the entire state, and
II there is to be division Of the sew
erance taxes, these parishes wish to
get In on the "divvy."
Another group wants the severance
tax money to 90 into the general fund
Oil and gas land owners who have
been notified by the assessing author
tiles that they will be taxed for 1921
on basis Of production are seeking
to pass the taxation buck to the par
ties who hold the leases. Land own
ers object to the tax hoist because
they claim, the leaseholders are the
ones who are making the money
!. Therefore, they want the leases taxed
or a basis of production. To this the
leaseholders offer violent objection
They claim the severance tax load
that they are carrying is enough.
A small group is making fight
against the greater agricultural col
lege. Also, there is q crowd OF dele
gates opposing the tax of l mill after
1924 for the greater agricultural col
lege and the State University and con
ferences were held Friday but nothing
tangible resulted. The negotiations
will be resumed when the convention
reasembled next week.
The taxation committee Is expected
to take up all Of these questions next
week.
While the taxation rows are in prog
ress, there Is another one over in the
conservation committee. Mr. Barrett Of
Caddo, Mr.. Madison Of Morehouse
and Mr.. Joffrion Of Avoyelles have
opened war on the carbon black com
panies operating in the natural gas
fields Of North Louisiana. Mr.. Bar

A MEXICAN women have been edu-
~ Gated III footwear up to point
where they are more fastidious than
discriminating. They have long been
shod with the most graceful and ex-
quisitely finished of shoes and have
come to give more and more attention
to style and daintiness and somewhat
less to appropriateness. This sweep
ing assertion does not apply to all Of
them, but holds good for q majority,
as one may prove by watching pedes-
TRANS in any city. The trend of de-
mand is for less substantial and more
dainty footwear, and the new shoes
for this spring are answering this de-
mand. A half-dozen pairs Of the most
practical shoes found In the displays
are shown here, together with a reg
ulation pair of smart sport shoes such
as the real golfer insists upon own
ing. These are comfortable and sty-
fish with a chic Of their own which
belongs to well-made utility shoes of
all kinds. The discriminating woman
Is conscious Of 1t, as she Is of the
fitness OF other apparel to its uses
but there are women who cannot
