WHAT SHALL THEY WEAR
TO CHURCH SERVICES?

Commenting on the Ottawa, On
tario, priest who refused admis-
sion to his church to young women
dressed in skins costume of
breeches, jersey and jacket, many
National Capital churchmen have
expressed unmeasured condemna-
tion Of this attitude. Said the Rev.
DR.. Charles F.Martin: God isn't
interested in what you wear as
long as is is suitable for the pur-
pose it is worn. Personally, if my
church were so situated that wo-
men needle d skis to get co it, /
should be proud to welcome them
DR.. H. V. Burch commented as
follows: "The problem of today is
to keep women interested in the
work of the house of God. A
church which can interest women
enough 90 make her dress In an
athletic costume and to do a lot
of hard work to get to it is fortu-
nate; priest who the nforbids en-
try to his building must have his
mind on something else than the
Wcrd."'

LESPEZDA AS A SUBSTITUTE
FOR COTTON 4

,espedeza, one of the South's
greatest legumes, is the title of an
article prepared for the Lespede-
"a Seed Growers Cooperative
Assn, Inc, by DR.. r. E.. Lewis,
Bains, Louisiana, prominent
farmer who is specializing in the
growing ef this profitable crop.
While the name Lespedeza, was
supposed to have been given this
plant by botanists in 1900; it was
not until 1880 that it received the
attention it's merits warranted. as
commercial farm product, under
.her develobmsnt of Col. J. B. Nc
Gehee, of Laurel Hill, Louisiana,
who recognized it's value as feed
for farms animals and as soil
builder, and who sang it's praises
fer years. It's place in southern
agriculture is due largely to Col.
McGehee, says DR.. Lewis.
Lespedezai is an annual, matur-
ing it's seed in the fall which shat
ters readily and reseed the ground
for the coming year. Normally,
these seeds which shatter Off at
maturing time remain dormant
until the warmth and moisture
terminate them. 1t is the practice
to plant from February Is to May

The stems and branches of the
Lespedeza plant are slender and
the leaves small but very numer-
Gus. A good crop will grow to the
heigth of Is to 18 inches, and on
fertile soil 80 inches is not un-
known. 1t is estimated that a good
stand of Lespedeza will repre-
sent ton of hay for each 6 inches
of its growth.
This plant will grow on almost
any of the types of soil in the cot

But of course like most other plan.
