They are selections from the Greater
Baltimore, Stone and Merveille des
Marches (Marvel of the Market), three
of the best commercial varieties
grown. They possess, in addition to
wilt resistance, all The good qualities
of their parent varieties. Extensive
field tests have shown them to be we'll
adapted to all parts of the United
States in which tomato wilt is present.
The work done in connection with the
development of these varieties Is de-
scribed in new department bulletin.
No. 1915, Development of Wilt-Re-
sistant Tomatoes, by F. ]. Pritchard,
Psychologist, which may be obtained
upon application to the United States
Department Of Agriculture, Washing
ton.
Very few commercial varieties of
tomatoes possess appreciate resist
ance to wilt. The Duke of York and
the Buckeye State, apparently one va
riety under two names, are highly re-
sistant, but they produce poorer fruit
than the varieties developed by the
department.
Livingston's Globe is somewhat re-
sistant, but its fruit, although of good
size and shape. is Objectionable to
Gamers and also to dealers in some
other markets because of its purple
color. Moreover, it is very susceptible
to nailhead rot, destructive disease
prevalent in the South.
Obtain Resistant Varieties.
Superior wilt-resistant varieties
may be obtained by selection from
varieties that normally produce a
heavy crop of excellent fruit, and vary
considerably in the degree of wilt re-
sistance possessed by their individual
plants. Even if such varieties are sus-
ceptible to wilt, If they produce occa-
sional resistant plants. they afford
good material for selection, but the Sc
lections have to be carefully tested
on uniformly wilt-infested soil for
period of several years in order to OBJ
tain the best strains or varietiesEa
process requiring more time, skill and
expense than the average grower can
give to it. Most -rarieties transmit up
proximately the same degree of wilt
resistance to all their plants and con-
sequently offer little opportunity for
improvement by selection. Tomato
plants selected for wilt resistance
usually transmit to their immediate
offspring as much resistance as can be
developed from them by subsequent
selection. In few instances increased
resistance has been obtained in the
second selection, but not In later Sc
lections.

"SHALL | TRAVEL2"

A MONG the questions that are
most frequently asked Of the
reader Of the hand, and, therefore,
that deserves the most careful con-
sideration. is this: "Shall l travel?"
The desire to travel and see strange
cities and countries is universal, and
practically everyone wishes to know
whether he or she will be able to
crafty it.
Now, there are two distinct ways
of answering the question, in the read
ing of the hand. In the first place,
we may consult the so-called "travep'
or voyage" lines, which are lines
more or less heavy on Luna, Oh ex-
tending from the rascette or bracelet
upon the mount of Luna, or the moon,
which lies on the outside of the palm,
toward the wrist; also the horizontal
lines on Luna. The other method Of
reading voyages in the hand is by
means of the little hair-lines that
leave the line of life anG travel with
1t down the hand.
If the voyage line on Luna is long,
extending perhaps, in very rare cases,
even to the mount of Jupiter, below
the first finger, very long voyage,
indeed, may be foretold or indicated.
The length of the voyage will, in
fact, be proportional to the length
OF the line. (Copyright)

rrock of last season a real success.
1t has the straight line. 1t has the
coat dress opening. 1t has the EN-
broidery. And it has the short sleeves.
But, how differently all Of these fine
points are arranged. The embroidery
Is distributed in quite a unique way.
The sleeves, while they are short, are
still very much more loosely fitted
than were those in the old days. The
waistline is long and the belt Is but
loosely attached and fitted. Then, too,
the lines of both the skirt and waist
are ample and full and left to go their
own sweet way rather than being held
tight enough to outline the figure In
any radical way.
The fact is that this dress is an ex-
cellent example of the serge dress that
Is popular and good in style just now.
There are many of them to be seen
no matter where you turn your head,
but the best Of them have the long
lines that are characteristic Of this
model and always they are as simple
as can be in all of their expression.
wear with these dresses are perhaps
lust as interesting as the dresses them
selves, for no matter what may be the
general character of the coat this sea-
son. it still must have about 1t enough
of looseness and foppiness to place 1t
in the picture class. And when 1t Is
used to cover q frock which in itself Is
already picturesque, then the combina-
ton cannot we'll help but be charming.
capes in Great Number.
Of capes there are many, and even
more than that, to be seen upon the
streets. The newer wraps have sleeves
Of some sort, either set into their
meshes or cut as parts Of the wrapping
material. When you see the wrap ap-
preaching you on the street, you can
hardly believe that it is not cape, but
when you come close to it you will
realize that the sleeves which happen
to be concealed miraculously In its
folds are the portion Of the thing that
give it its style.
Then the hats that 60 with these cos
tunes are, perhaps, the most vivid and
inspiring parts of the costumes as
whole. No gown and coat are complete
without their hat designed to be a con-
sistent part of them.
With the all-black or all-blue suits
there are any number Of red hats in all
shades Of vividness to be seen. Then
there are some bright green hats for
those who can wear them, and, in
truth, no shade or color has been
neglected by the spring headgear If you
are to believe your. own eyes as you see
the new fashions assembling. For the
dresses of brighter colors there are,
perhaps, hats that are more neutral in
tone. And often the hats are made to
match the costume, being made either
from the material which compOses the
dress or coat or being composed of
some other fabric that exactly matches

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
While the increase in farm mort
gage Indebtedness during the last dec
ade appears almost startling, the
Increase is not in itself a cause for
alarm, declares the United States
Department of Agriculture in De
partment Bulletin 1O47, Farm Mort:
gage Loans by Banks, Insurance
Companies, and Other Agencies,
new publication prepared by V. N.
Valgren and Elmer e. Engelbert and
now ready for distribution. The In
crease, say the writer's, is rather
logical result of increased market
value of farms. The rise in these
values, in turn, reflects better farm
incomes during the decade than pre-
vailed during the preceding years,
these incomes being to considerable
improvements in the form of build
ings, fences, ,silos, and ,.rainage and
irrigation systems. According to pre-
liminary reports for the census OF
1920, mortgage Indebtedness on farms
operated by full owners amounted to
$4O12,711,213, as against $1,726. 172,-
851 in 1910 The information avail
able concerning the amount and
sources of farm mortgage loans In
the United States Is fragmentary, the
bulletin points out.
A very large percentage of farm
mortgages is the result of land trans
fers, the mortgage, like tenancy, form
ing a rung in the agricultural ladder
to farm ownership. The size of the
mortgage naturally tends to bear a
direct relationship to the purchase
price of the farm. To the extent
that farm mortgages are the result
Of investments in productive perma-
nent improvements and equipment by
existing farm owners, they evidence
progress and not repression. In gen.
eral, the increase in farm mortgages
during each decade since data were
first gathered by the census has been
most marked in sections which have
made the greatest progress, during
that period. Even where improve
ments are paid for out of savings In
stead of with the proceeds Of loans,
the increased value and price of a
farm is quite certain to result in a
larger mortgage In case the farm is
transferred to q new owner.

On Broadway their skirts are short
way to the knees, writes fashion
correspondent in the New York Times.
The college girls around Columbia
wear theirs, too, at this high stopping
place. But, take a walk on Fifth
avenue any Of these afternoons, anG
you will not fail to see the skirts de-
scending and descending. And, when
you do see the newer and the smarter
things as they are actually worn then
you are forced to confess that you
like them.
Their smartness lies not alone in the
fact that they are distinctly new, but
they shine because they are so beaut1-
fully proportional and designed. 1t Is
not only that the skirts have descend
ed, but the waistlines have done the
same thing in 0 totally harmonious
fashion, and the sleeves are just as
long in proportion, SO that the smart
womans figure becomes something
with new appearance rather than OF
any heightened appearance. In other
words, before you know it, your skirts
will be long, too, and you will hardly
know the difference.
A certain comfort lies in these newer
and more formal clothes in that they
are notably suited to the more mature
figure. The girlish stuff Of the last few
seasons looked all right on some OF the
older women, but if we are honest on
the subject it did not superlatively

Now these newer frocks with all
their fullness and draping and pleat-
ing offer many little subtle tricks by
which a figure that Is more than Or
dinarily large or Of unlovely proper
tons may be so softly obliterated that
the dress walks right into the class
with the leaders Of fashion. Really
the newer dresses are more artistic
things than were their predecessors
They have kept the best from the
older styles and have added new points

Newer full length dresses from Paris

to illustrate the sort of dress which

MAY

THE youthful name of May is
L peculiarly difficult to discuss.
There are two explanations of its ex-
istence. Some etymologists claim that
IL is the final contraction and endear-
ment of Margaret and translate it to
mean "a pearl"
But though May is undoubtedly one
of the innumerable forms of Margaret,
coming through the Scotch by stages
of evolution from Maisie and Maidie,
II is so much simpler and more logical
to believe that May is really one of
the calendar names bestowed in honor
of the fifth month of the year. 1t is
the name of springtime and blossoms
and nesting birds and as such has
place of distinction all its own. 1t
has no antecedents, under this theory,
end cannot be contracted more than
it already is.

TT is a perfectly natural thing to feel
i that when a person whom you en-
ploy to work for you for stated hours
is tardy, you are being deprived OF
what is rightfully yours. That is, Of
course, if you propose to and do pay
for full-time work. However, it is not
the easiest thing in the world to
correct a person for hardness or to
correct the tardy habit without giving
offenSe.
1t may be that the woman who
washes for you is due to come ut eight
and does not appear until half-past
nine. What are you going to do about
it? Or it may be that the woman who
sews by the day is little late every
day she comes, thus in the course Of a
season really depriving you Of many
hours of service for which you have
actually paid. 1t may be, too, that the

The fad for naming babies by the
name of the month in which they were
born probably brought May into vogue.
The sudden spring to fame of April as
a feminine name is another instance
and August is so hOnored by Augusta.
1t is q curious fact that no other
language has an equivalent for May,
whether she is q derivative of Mar
garet or a separate entity. Only the
Scotch, which evolved her by the
former theory, possess her; even Ing
land had to accept her as a new name
in the language.
Because of her possible dual origin,
May is the lucky pOssessor of two
talismanic gems. Either the pearl of
purity or the emerald of prophecy will
prove a lucky stone for her. The
former gives her charm and friends
the latter intelligence, and prophetic
vision. Sunday is her lucky day and

you yourself do not appear at your Of

come until that time, although you
employ her from nine o'clock each day

good plan to hint at your displeasure
by looking reproachfully at the clock.
Often it Is a good PLAZA with the per-
son who works by the day merely to
ask to put the work on an hour basis
That is, to have seven or eight-hour
day and to time the day from the
time Of arrival. This is only fair.
Moreover, it is plan that drives the
lesson of promptness home with the
least possible argument.
However, one must always distin-
guish between kinds of service rem

lenient about hardness to the worker
who works especially rapidly or who
makes up through added industry for
time lost in this way.
And one thing remember. The en-
ployer takes the attitude very often
that any excuse for hardness is ex-
aggeration or fabrication. Railroads
do strike, surface cars do block and
bad weather does delay transportation
Remember this and give the people
who work for you the benefit of a
doubt.
