FASHION NOTES

An extremely simple afternoon gown
of du Barry rose crepe de chine worn
here today depends for its unusual ef-
feet on side panels. These panels
starting at the waist line and falling
below the hem, are nothing more than
a loose lattice work of narrow vel
vet ribbon. They end in four lora
tassels.

Venezuela Congress Considers
 Passage of Legislation

Caracas, July1 s-The oil industr
 is greatly interested in the passage b. the Venezuelan congress of a new pc
 troleum law which is said to be nor
 favorable than any previous simtla
 law of this country, and to affort
 more workable conditions than an, Latin American law governing pc
 troleum development.
 Concessions for exploration are se-
 cured from the government in zones
 of 10000 hectares each, for a period
 of three years and for payment of two cents per hectare as tax Within this period the contractor has the right to select up to ore-half of each zone for exploitation. There is prac- tically no limit to the amount of acreage allowed to one contractor al- though there IS a nominal limit of 300, 900 hectares for exploration and one half this amount for exploitation. Above these amounts the financial ability of the purchaser governs The exploitation period is 40 years instead of 30 years as formerly. An
 initial tax of two bolivars per hec- tare or 1e cents per acre is payable at the beginning of the exploitation period and annual rentals of two
 bolivars per hectare are collected for the first three years, four bolivars per hectare for the succeed ing 27 years and five bolivars per hectare for the remaining 10 years of exploitation.
 Formerly the contractor was obliged to select his quota of acreage in par cells of 200 hectares each, in check erboard fashion, leaving an equal area as a national reserve. Under the new law the parcels are of 800 hectares or 1,235 acres each and these may be grouped as desired.
 The government receives 10 percent royalty except in areas 200 or more kilometers distant from the sea or from Lake Maracaibo, or in areas south of the Andes, the production from which pays only seven and one half percent royalty. In similar areas taxe. are reduced to one-half.
 Tn former laws the contractor was obliged to deposit a guarantee amount ing to as much as sl per hectare to insure compliance with the terms or his contract, but no such guarantees are now required.
 Former contracts may be adapted to the new law simply by announce ment of the fact to the ministry of Fomento. It is probabl that most of the companies and individuals now holding such former contracts will choose to operate under the new and more favorable code.
 It was the intention of the Vene- zuelan authorities to create law that would be practical and sufficiently at- tractive to stimulate the development of this important branch of the na- tional resources. That they have suc- ceeded is evidenced by the interest be- ing shown not only by the oil com- panies already operating, but by the increasing number of representatives of petroleum interests now investigat- ing conditions in this country.

A Truck Garden
Worth Mentioning

Mrs. Frank Lewis, who lives sever
al miles north of Washburn had a
truck garden this year that would
equal any other garden in the county
for variety. and for earliness.
Mrs.LeYis says she had green win
ter onions on the table before the frost
was fully out Of the ground. And
close on the heels of the onions, came
rhubarb and asparagus and next let
tuce, radishes, spinage, and green
spring ouions. Can you beat it? All
of those nice spring vegetables all
right together, or nearly so, and when
a person is craving green things to
eat
After the real early vegetables, Mrs.
Lewis had for table use, along in late
spring and early summer, vegetables
like young beets, carrots, peas and
new potatoes. Late summer brought
green beans, sweet corn, rutabagoes,
ries. The procession winds up with
tomatoes, egg plant and celery. There
is no use Of asking il she has the cell
lar full Of canned goods, for without
a question she has. She not only has
her own winter supply stored away,
but the garden raises enough so she
is able to sell quite a little each sea-
son. The best season was in 1920
when she sold over $40 worth of gar
den truck. Nearly every fall the Lew
is advertise their vegetables.
Along with the garden work Mrs.
Lewis started a flock of, turkeys. With
two turkey hens this spring she now
has a flock Of AZ Mammoth Bronze
turkeys. These will be ready forrthe
Thanksgiving market. The coyotes
have not caused them any trouble as
yet. Two Of the turkeys wear bells
which help some to scare the coyotes
away. Besides the turkeys Mrs.
Lewis raised 255 spring chickens this.
summer along with the flock Of 80
hens. The chickens are the rose
comb white leghorns. ! I.
The wheat on the Lewis farm this
year went 16 bushels to the acre and
Mr.. Lewis had in 130 acres. Is.

O'C0NNOR TCUC UCHES KEY NOTE
OF N. D. FATlllIIN PROBE EMS

Ifor 80 years that every farmer has in
North Dakota. We are trying to make
that farm pay expenses and return a
reasonable interest on its value. II
seems that q study of older agricult
ural states Is Of great benefit to us all
For more than 20 years, we produced
for market on our farm nothing but
wheat and we found that the farm was
getting dirtier every year and the in
come not sufficient to sustain it. Our
Iexpecience no doubt is the same as
thousands of others in North Dakota
is impossible year in and year out to
raise nothing but wheat on a North
Dakota farm and keep out Of bank
ruptcy. In many places, we have seen
farmers unable to get into their fields
because Of floods and heavy spring
rains. We have seen crops moved
down with millions of -grasshopperss or
destroyed by the Hessian fly; we have
seen wheat but short time before
maturity made worthless with rust or
destroyed by hail or nipped with frost.
Untold millions of bushels of wheat
have been destroyed in this manner.
Many of our farmers have come to
the conclusion that it is unwise to put
all the eggs In one basket, that on
every farm, there should be different
crops so that mo one Of these disasters
could destroy them all Diversified
tion insures against failure.
L The experience OF the State OF Wis
consin should be interesting; the to-
tai value Of all farm property is $2,-
667, 100000. "The Wisconsin agricult-
uralist' estimated the income of the
farmers of that state last year at half
a million. II this estimate was cor
rect, there was a return of 18 6-10 per-
cent on the total Investment ins farm
lands, buildings and equipment. There
has been no bank failure in five. years
in. the state OF wisconsin.
What One County Is Doing a,
Let US come just q little nearer to
home. Minnesota has made splendid
progress the past few years in diver
sif1ed farming. For instance, there Is
a little county in the southern part Of
Minnesota which consists Of IL town
ships, called Steele county, and this
year it will manufacture 100000
pounds of rich pure butter valued at
$2,5O0,O0O. These townships produce
more butter than IL states, greater
than the creamery butter imports or
exports Of France. Steele has the le-
cord OF producing more butter to the
square mile than any other county in
all America It has q population of
Is, 900 and this record is due to two
things; people and cows. There are q
18, 1000 cows, one for each person and;
tharo IA on f1eDOsit In IL county banks
