it can be seen that the southern and
eastern sections of the state are the
alfalfa lands supreme.
wisconsin will continue to grow
more alfalfa for many years to come
because there is an increasing demand
for this CROP" predicts Mr.. GRADER.
1.-THE big alfalfa section Of this coun-
try is conferred in the western states.
where it has been possible to buy al
falfa in the stack at between five
and seven dollars a ton. But by the
lime the hay is laid down in Wis
consin, with baling, hauling, and
freight charges, it costs Wisconsin
farmers from $40 to S25. This high
cost of transportation serves as pro.
tective tariff on home grown alfalfa.
That's one reason why Badger farmers
are going to raise more OF their own
alfalfa In the future"

the top 1t is almost sure to leak and
that the size and weight vary consid-
erably. In consequence the grocers
very seldom display honey in such
containers in q prominent place.
Special white glass containers hold
ing three, six or twelve pounds have
been tried out by several of Wiscon-
sins beekeepers in the last two or
three years with the only objection
raised being that of cost.
The next important step in success
full honey marketing, as viewed by
Mr.. Adams, Is attractive labelling.
geekeepers report great number Of
Stock honey labels on the market but
none of these seems to meet their
needs. In visiting the grocery stores
over the state Mr.. Adams found many
beekeepers make their own labels.
These are usually made to comply
with the law but do not adequately
advertise the quality of the product
sold.
Honey has few equals in its natural
attractiveness end value as a food,
but our containers and labels cover up
the first and the housewife does not
know the second point" declares Mr..
Adams.
1.-THE basic reason for grading Wis
cousin honey was to call the atten-
ton of the consumer to Wisconsin
Honey Even now surprisingly
large number Of people do not know
that there is marked difference in
pure honey. When they buy honey
and do not like it they think they have
been swindled with adulterated honey
and refuse to buy again. These peo-
pie must be educated to call for honey
that is produced In the north CEN
trail states under trade mark that
means something"

Must Watch the
Modes Of Paris

Real expression Of Paris Is found In
the restaurant frock. And this is the
time Of year when designers over
there are bending the best of their eff
forts to create dresses of such charac-
ter. Then, observes fashion writer
In the New York Times, while we In
America do not go in for the restaur-
ant frock as such, still we have dis
tinct predisposition to dress of this
type, and it is from those models for
Partisan restaurant life that we take
many of the ideas which carry us into
more particularized American crea-
lions. The dresses, in fact, which are
being worn now in Paris are those 1t
behooves us to watch from this side of
the Atlantic, if we wish to be any
where In touch with fashions as they
proceed along their varied ways.
But the restaurant dresses that are
new just now are the loveliest, 1t
seems which have ever been made

Those who think that the standard
izIng of honey grades will solve the
problems Of marketing honey are sure
to be doomed to disappointment. That
As the broadside fired by G. D. Adams
of the Wisconsin division of markets.
He has found that before any COM
modify can be successfully marketed
it must be so classified that the vari-
Gus grades will mean something def
mite to those who deal in it.
Every business man knows that
there are other very important steps
TO be taken, before an article Of real
value Is disposed of at a profit" de-
clared Mr.. Adams at recent meeting
of Wisconsin beemen. Probably the
first Of these is advertising. The
value of the bee, bee supply and honey
business in Wisconsin is conserva-
lively estimated to amount to $5,O00,-
900 annually. Probably any manufac-
turing concern Of like magnitude would
not think of attempting to market its
product without carefully planning an
advertising campaign
After product is c.refully graded
and advertised 1t is not ready to be
marketed. according to Mr.. Adams,
until 1t is put in suitable containers
with attractive labels. At present
honey is marketed in 81 varieties of
containers and about 40 Of these are
secondhand and look 1t. The most
popular Of these, and one of the poor
est, is the screw-top fruit jar. Be-
sides being secondhand, such contain
;ers have more serious faults.
Mr.. Adams lists among the objec-
lions the facts that the glass is far
from white, and consequently the
honey loses most of its attractiveness
that even though rubber Is used on

The alfalfa acreage of the Badger
state is increasing rapidly. From 49,
900 acres in 1918 to 10000 acres in
1921 tells the story of what Wisconsin
can do and is doing in the raising OF
hhat rich feeding hay SO earnestly
sought by hundreds of the states best
dairymen.
This is the encouraging report made
by L. f. GRADER of the agronomy de-
bartment of the University of Wis
consin.
! According to figures compiled for the
past season by the crop reporting
service, IS counties produced 80 per
cent of WisconsIn's total alfalfa pro-
duction Of 10000 acres. All Of these
counties had more than 1900 acres of
alfalfa each. The leading counties
had many times this acreage.
Green county is first on the list,
having 1912 acres of alfalfa. Second
comes Waukesha county, 14,124 acres,
and In third place is Jefferson county
with 1874 acres. Fond du Lac had
D.256 acres and Walworth county
drew fifth place with 7,496 acres. The
other counties in order Of their acreage
are: Dodge, Rock. sheboygan, Racine,

They are simpler even than the SIM
plest of daytime frocks, but they have
that distinction of cut and line and
fabric which marks them for leaders
in their own generation. Most of the
draping has disappeared; uneven
hens, except those very much re-
strained, are taboo, and altogether the
best of the fresher dresses of this sort
have resolved themselves into quite
classic affairs.
Quite interesting are the newest OF
the dresses from three of the leading
Partisan couturiers. They are Jenny.
Poiret and Premet each of whom is
entitled to distinct command for
fashion as it exists and shall exist. All
the waistlines are as long as Is consist
ent with a picturesque effect. The
material is the only real consideration
about the gowns, and, while the skirts
are long, they are not unduly so, to
instigate q riot in the camp of those
who hate to see the skirts of dresses
drop too far.
SpSrkiGS WIN brilliantly.
Jenny's dress is made of black crepe.
The French call it "crepe moroccan
noir." 1t is then trimmed with the
slightest tracery of beads in silver and
gray. 1t might, upon this description,
be called dull, but only by one who did
not know the art of a French designer.
Those clever ones-and especially
Jenny-can make black and gray and
silver shine until they glow with color,
and that with only the merest bit of a
pattern Of trimming with which to
create contrast.
The bodice of this frock is typical of
so many of the newer waists. 1t is
just trIAe longer than the normal
waistline and manages to give that
effect of complete indifference to a
waistline of any sort. But, as a mat
ter of fact, 1t is studiously arranged on
foundation or lining dress. which
holds it uncompromisingly in place.
The bigness of the sleeves is only an
excuse for giving actual grace and line
to that portion of the frock, and the
sleeves are a center of the design of
the costume as whole.
Around New York just recently a
great many dresses of this general
character have been noted. They were
mostly made of dull and heavy crepe,
or of shiny black satin of one Of the
standard and reliable weaves. But the
sleeves are always very big and floppy,
and they manage to give grace TO
the costume which Is distinctly new
and which, 1t has been noted, is some
thing which adds q totally novel char
acter to the gowns of this season.
Many of these dresses are made
without any trimming whatever and
most of them are in black. They are
the smartest of all, beyond any doubt.
| But here. hav" been seen frocks made
In the x,nst brilliant of colored crepes
and satins, Shich have held their place
along with the general throng in q
| quite remarkable way.
