Farm Women Improve Home Sewing
Methods.

Farm Women Improve Home Sewing
Methods.
Farm women in many sections are
cooperating actively in clothing work
as carried on with the assistance of
State and county extension workers.
In this work local representatives or
leaders, selected by the various COM
munities in a county, come together
at some convenient point for train
ing. Provided with the necessary
teaching helps, these women repeat
TO organized groups in their own
neighborhood the instruction they
have received and gather up reports
on work done. The success of local
leadership is due not only to the
ability and devotion of local women
but to the simple, practical basis to
which extension workers have reduc-
ed their teaching.
According to reports received by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture the things that are receiv-
ing particular attention are the max
ing and use of dress forms; altera-
tion of patterns and making of fitted
to-measure foundation patterns;
clothing construction processes; re-
modelling; renovation; garment fin
ishes; use of machine attachments;
clothing hygiene, including the selec-
ton of shoes and corsets; millinery;
and selection of textile materials and
ready-made clothing for quality and
design. AS a result of the work,
farm women have been enabled to
improve their ability TO select ma
terials and to remodel and make gar
ments and other articles of clothing |
at home.

WHERE EVERYTHING Is IDEAL

The young reformers were having
debate and when they had agreed
that everything was just about as cor
rupt as it could be. grim-faced man
arose. What you seem to want,
friends, is a place where everyone
has to be good by law"
That's it," agreed the reformers.
where smoking is not allowed
and such a thing as drink is un-
known. Where none need worry
about food and clothes. Where ev-
eryone keeps regular hours"
"Oh, to find such a place." said a
soulful fellow.
Easily found" replied the grim
man. 1--WE just come out from do

A common tern banded as a fledgl-
ing at Brigantine, N, j., August IS,
1920, holds one of the long-distance
records for this species according TO
reports TO the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. II was retak-
en- on May 20. 1922. at Paria Bay,
Blanchisseuse, Trinidad. Another
common tern on record was banded
as a Nesting on the coast OF Maine,
and recovered four years later in the
delta of the Niger River, on the
west coast of Africa.

Better-Sires Enrolment Passes the
5000 Mark.

With the growing understanding
of the utility value of pure-bred live
stock and especially pure-bred sires,
the list of persons enrolled in the
"Better Sires-Better Stock" cam
paign is rapidly increasing. The
middle of August il passed the s.
900 mark, signifying that many per-
sons have filed statements with the
United States Department of Agri-
culture that their livestock breed
ing operations will be conducted
henceforth on a pure-bred-sire basis.
This includes all classes of domestic
live stock, including poultry.
In some counties of limited area
the number of farms is relatively
small. Gordon b, Nance, county
agent of Oldham County, KY, points
out, however, that although his coun-
~ has only 1,0S6 farms, 10 per cent
OF the farmers have signed enroll
ment blanks, which signifies active
participation in systematic livestock
Improvement work. Other counties
in which 10 per cent or more of the
farmers are using pure-bred sires ex-
clusively are: Pulaski County, Va,
81 per cent; Kittitas County, Wash,
IS per cent; Greene County, Ohio, 1S
per cent; and Orange County, Va, 10
per cent. In this connection the Blu
reau OF Animal Industry points out
that the proportions are for all
farms and that the percentages for

ViOlators of Livestock Laws Must
Paw Fines.


For violation of regulatory laws re-
lating to live stock and meat fines
were recently imposed in as cases,
as announced by the Bureau of Ami
NAL Industry in its Service and Regu-
latory Announcements for July. The
list of violators includes railway and
express companies, meat dealers, and
livestock owners. Most of the vio-
lations were of the quarantine law
which restricts the interstate ship
ment of diseased. ticky, or uninsps ct
ed stock. Several livestock owners
encountered the Federal law when
attempting to drive or ship tubercu-
lous cattle interstate.
Violations of the meat inspection
law included the offering of unsound
meat. shipping uninspected meat and
lard, and. in one case, using a wrap
per bearing the meat-inspection le-
gend for wrapping uninspected meat
The majority of fines range from S25
to $500. Although the Federal laws
and regulations relating TO live
stock are for the most part well I'M
derstood and complied with, persons
unfamiliar with the regulations and
with the importance of preventing in
terstaie shipment of diseased animals
and unsound meats may obtain copies
of regulations by applying to the de-
partment.

Federal-Aid Roads Increased 600
Miles

Nearly 600 miles nearer the goal OF
a completed system of highways fol-
the United States is the report OF
the Bureau of Public Roads of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture for the month of July. The
final goal, the construction of a sys-
tenn of approximately 100000 miles
of Federal-aid highway consisting of
a network of trunk line and seconda-
ry roads reaching into practically ev-
! cry county is still long way off,
but we are $500 miles nearer than
at the beginning of the year accord
ing to the bureau.
Completed Federal-aid roads now
total 1929 miles with 1892 miles
under construction and approximate
ly 60 per cent complete. Includ-
ing projects not yet under construc-
ton Federal-aid roads in all stages
now total 1888 miles.
There is no indication of any slack

progress which began with the season
of 1921 as the States continue to
pour in plans for new projects and
place them under construction as
rapidly as possible. Nearly twelve
and one-half million dollars was OBJ
ligated to new projects in June and
July, and in the week ending August
5 reports were received of the letting
of IS new projects and announcements
of 81 to be let.
At the present time the force of the
bureau is taxed to the limit with the
examination OF new plans and pro-
jects, inspection of roads under con-
struction and the planning of the Fed
eral-aid highway system which is be-
ing gotten into final shape.

Growers placed parchment cones
over the hills of cantaloupes to pro-
tect the young plants against insects
at the suggestion of the county ex-
tension agent in Dona Ana County.
N. Mex. 1t was found that the TEN.
perature under the cones remained
from 5 to 10 degrees above that OF

them were not injured by light
freeze which killed unprotected

stated that the covers paid for them
selves in securing better and more

lection against insects and frost.
