No Ground for Common Belief That
Use of Acid Phosphate Will
Prove Injurious.

Contrary to popular belief the use
Of acid phosphate will not produce
acidity in the soils, according to a
statement made by the workers in the
field Of agronomy at the New York
state college Of agriculture at Ithaca.
The college long has advocated a
greater use Of acid phosphate with
or without manure for fertilizing soils.
Some farmers, however, have feared
that to do this would mean that great
ly increased quantities of limestone
or lime would then be required for
the growth Of clover and alfalfa.
These fears, however, are ground
less, 1t Is stated. Indeed, experiments
made at Rhode Island show that acid
phosphate actually served to reduce
soil acidity. DIR. Burgess, who made
the test, declares positively that
there is no foundation for the state
ment that soils will become more acid
from the continuous use of acid phos-
phate."
The soil specialists state, however,
that sour soil should be lined In ad-
vance of the application of acid phos-
phate. "Do not fear soil acidity from
the use of acid phosphate" conclude
the workers at Cornell. who add that

Taking Out Defective and Un-
desirable Trees.

The owner of farm woodlot who
is looking to the future as well as to
the present will prefer what is known
as IAN improvement cutting to a less
systematic harvesting Of his timber
crop, forestry specialists declare. They
say that 1t will pay the farmer to
leave standing considerable percent
age Of those kinds Of trees which he
wants to encourage in his woodlot.
These trees will seed the soil and fill
up the gaps left by the cutting.
All logging operations should be
made with the preservation and exten-
sion of the stand Of young growth in
mind.
1t Is considered a good practice at
the first cutting to remove trees like
the chestnut, aspen, ironwood and
beech, since they c~e considered less
desirable aid s.tisfactory In New
York woodlots.
Stag-headed, bltt-injured and heavy
foliaged, limby trees Of every variety
may likewise be disposed Of at the
first cutting.
White pine. white ash, Eastwood
red oak, hard maple, tulip, poplar,
and in some cases even hemlock should
be encouraged.
A special warning is given against
making the first cutting too heavy. 1t
is said to be better to make this first
cutting most carefully and If desirable
to 60 over the woodlot again in five or
ten years. If the first cutting is too
heavy, 1t may result In tangle Of
brambles which will retard all devel-
opment.

has an inverted plait at the right side.
At the left there Is q scarflike con-
tinuation of turned-over top which
turns to form the girdle and ties at
the left side with long, flowing ends.
She works out the same idea in con-
nection with a collar. Following
medium bateau outline, this straight
band ties on one shoulder with long
ends and loops.
Vionnet's colors are, first and fore
most, beige in full gamut, with accom-
panying shades Of reddish chestnut
and golden browns. She still uses dull
brick reds in both woolens for street
suits and silks for afternoon dresses.
There is very little black except for
coats.
Her favorite for evening dresses Is
white. After that the lovely pervenche
blue. She also uses vivid blue like
that known as roi, or kings blue,
though shade paler. Red in faded
tones like those seen in ancient Pom
peian friezes is favored. Green is less
in evidence than 1t was in the spring.
Silk and Wool Combinations.
| AS for materials Vionnet uses chief
ly In wooden the velours de laine in
both plain and ribbed weaves and in
solid color and melange. The latter
gives somewhat the effect Of frieze,
especially If the white illumination is
obtained through the use of artificial
/ silk, as it often Is. This gives q spar
king f1eck all through the dark woolen
ground.
Crepe de chine and crepe romain
for afternoon and evening are as much
used as heretofore, also crepe satin,
In the latter material she continues to
use both surfaces, getting from the
contrast of crepe and satin most de
sirable results. She uses some plain
satin, considerable amount of plain
velvet and for evening fine tulle-like
net and mousseline de soie
The continuation of crepe de chine
dence Of the fact that fashions change
slowly. So those who spend several
years in bringing certain fabrics to the
foreground have the compensation Of
knowing that a material having once
achieved success is likely to retain Its
place for many years.
Vionnet was the first to introduce
the simple crepe de chine dress with
overlapping front in geometrical out
line. She still retains this type, bu
now bands it in striking colors Of two
opposing tones. For instance, on 6
gray crepe de chine she may use
bands Of duck blue and pale salmon
| pink.

Well, the day for the party came.
And so did all the guests which was

The Blizzard Boys came along and
the Icicle Girls came when Mr.. Wind

But that doesn't change
