Rhubarb, or ''pieplant," as it is
sometimes called, cannot be grown uni
versally, but is limited to certain def
mite sections. Information as to
whether rhubarb will or will not grow
in a given locality can be obtained
from the local seedsmen or from neigh
bors who have had experience in grow
ing it.
Rhubarb is propagated by planting
pieces of the roots secured by divid-
ing older hills, and six to ten hills VIII
usually supply plenty Of rhubarb for
the average family, states the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
Rbubarb should be planted exactly
the same way as asparagus, that Is,
the roots or crowns should be covered
four or five inches in deeply spaded

lips and fall bulbs later in the season
and equally useful in digging them up.
There are little hand rakes which
are just the thing for hand cultivation
among plants which need special care
and the earth kept stirred.
Sprinkling cans and sprays must be
added to every well regulated garden
outfit, especially spray.
While looking over spraying outfits
get in a supply of poison for the pests
that devour ard for the fungus that
blights. The scotsman will tell you
what to get. Bordeaux mixture for
fungus pests, paris green or some other
arsencal poison for those that eat the
leaves, and a tobacco poison of some
kind for plant lice are standard. Often
they can be bought in combination

and we'll enriched soil; there is little
danger Of having the soil too rich for
rhubarb. The hills should be three
and half to four feet apart, if more
than one row is planted.
This wonderful staple of the family
garden can generally be planted along
the fence where it will be out of the
way of cultivation.
The thick leaf stems are the part
used, and none should be pulled from
the plants the first year after seeding,
but a large supply will be available
the second season, and the hills will,
as a rule, continue to produce salts
factory crops of stems for several
years, after which they should be di-
vided and reset.
Rhubarb should receive the same
attention and treatment during win
ter as asparagus, and the plants
should never be allowed to ripen and
seed. The roots may be brought into
the greenhouse, pit, coldframe, or cell
lar during the winter and forced.
By placing a barrel over rhubarb
plant much longer and tender stalks
may be grown.
This is one plant that does not thrive
In warm climates. 1t Is most popular,
especially in the sections where it is
grown, in the early part of the spring.
The use of rhubarb is principally for
making pies and sauces, and many
housewives can the stems for winter
use.

In the running there are coats with

RIGS are here in new and beautiful
colors, in light silver gray and pale
sand, in sea green and lavender, in
new enchanting browns and blues, and
no matter how simple and plain the
suit, it is redeemed from the com

There are several adaptations of
the box coat, one of them shown at
the left of the two suits pictured here
This model is made of poiret twill in
black, and achieves something new in
its hip line and Delt. The coat has
only one fastening, which is managed
by narrow fold of the fabric made
into loops that fasten over an odd
button at each side. The flaring split

little tilmier than crepe de chine, but
not quite as sheer as georgette.
Not one of the newcomers is more
exquisite than georgette, which is
shown in printed and brocaded pat
terms, as well as in plain colors. One
of the printed designs was used with
a fine lace to make the adorably sim
pie and pretty model that appears in
the afternoon or evening dress illus
trated. 1t has clusters of roses and
foliage in soft, natural colOrs printed
in widely scattered groups on gray
ground. The fabric is the thing of

tured are short enough.
The goddess Of the looms was In
happy mood when she inspired
the weaving of silks for spring. They
are here, gay with color and interest
ing because of the many figured pat
terms in all the different weaves. A
whole family of crepes has come upon
the field in the lead of all the silks !;
it is next to impossible, and not at all
necessary to remember all their names,
since each little variation in weave
or luster in piece of crepe, entities it
to name of its own, but it is pleas
ant to consider that they are all good
looking. One of the most promising,

MYTH a desire to please everyone
w designers of suits have pinned
their faith to variety in styles so that
one hardly knows how to begin to de-
scribe the new arrivals. But they
are all of one mind, it appears, in the
effort to give their spring offerings a
youthful flavor. Women want to look
slender and to seem young, and it is
evident that designers have these
things in mind whatever style they
choose to interpret.
We have with us in suits this spring
the severely plain, mannish suits Of
tweed and homespun, dear to the
heart of the smart outdoor woman
and destined to make new cOnquests

TO GROW EARLY CABBAGE

Cabbage is one Of the most de-
sirable of our early green or leaf
crops and should be included in
every home garden. The seeds
should be sOwn indoors and the
plants set in the garden about
the time that danger of frost is
past, or a few plants can be pur-
chased from the seed store. Cab
bage requires a rich soil, and the
plants of the smaller early sorts
should be set 10 inches apart in
each direction for hand cultiva-
ton. 1t is a good plan to pour
little water around the roots
of each plant as 1t is being set in
the garden.

bead fringe. 1t is important in print
ed fabrics to arrange the figures grace
fully, and in this dress the sleeveless
blouse of georgette contrives to place
the rose cluster in panel at the front.
A filmy lace is utilized for short sleeves
and an all-over drapery that suggests
little jacket. A short girdle of the
georgette is knotted at the right side
and is cut from the plain portion Of
the crepe.
After the crepes follow foulards,
taffetas and satins-each of these en-
bracing several varieties and following
the lead of crepes in presenting many

If t means that by reason of deficiencies between gov- ernment departments Alaska is to remain bound in red tape and the development of it's resources ham pered as in the past, we of Alaska must suffer thereby while bureau chiefs continue to fight for admin istrative power, and thus further compicate and entangle federal &C., tivities in the territory.
 There has been absolutely no ex- aggeration Of the natural resources of Alaska that are awaiting devel- opmeat, and the Secretary Of the Interior has more comprehensive knowledge of those resources than any man living who has never visit cd the territory.

INTERIOR DEPT MAY TAKE
 OVER CHICKALOoN FIELDS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 15- The navy department aas requested the department of the interior to take over the Chickaloon coal fields for development by government op- eration or under lease as considered best by the secretary of the interior.
 In making this announcement Sec 1etary Fall said he has taken the request into consideration and that ezrerts of the department were in collaboration with the navy 10 de- te-mine on the feasibility of tae plan.
 He explained that the ChicGaloon fields were ordered closed down on April 1st but in view of the pres ent negotiations the navy is con- tinuing it's operation until May 1st.
 Chickaloon coal, the secretary de- clared, has ninety per cent of the heat value of the coal mined in the Pocahontas coal fields, which coal lS AeSu 4O4 navy CA--hr-4i-S anu 'e considered by experts to be the best bunkering coal.
 If the interior department takes over the Chickaloon mines the navy department would have first option on about one hundred thousand tons yearly.
 One question which is being con- sidered is whether the Chickaloon coal could compete at cost with the Pocaslontas product. It could be brot by boat from Anchorage to the navy coaling stations but the cost in this case might be greater than the Pocahontas coal.
 Concluding his statement, Secre- r4ry Fall said that while declining 70 forecast the ultimate decision ia this matter, he was opposed in prin- ciple to operation by ne govern ment of any enterprise in competi- lion with private operations.
