Dear Miss Brooks:

Dcar MISS BROOKS.
$ 1 would like to ask two questions II
1 may. % Is it proper to sit on the
right or left side of young man when
eating together? (2) I have four boy
friends who used to live In different
places that have, but are now away.
Is 1t proper for me to keep UP COR
respondence with them providing 1t is
just friendly in nature? The reason
ask is because my boy friend here
thinks it isn't He doesn't exactly
object, but he is so nice to take me to
parties, shows. dances, etc, that I
wouldn't like to do anything that isn't
proper to do. Yours as before,
CANARY" Utah.
Surely you may, Canary" % The
lady sits on the gentleman's right at
the table. (2) Yes, indeed. it is proper,
grille, and 1 am very sure when you
explain very nicely and frankly to him
that your correspondence with your
boy friends is a courtesy you owe them
for having been good friends and pals
in the past, he will readily understand
and feel perfectly all right about it. So
long as a girl is free, that is, so long
as she Is heart whole and fancy free
it is perfectly proper to let her heart
wander when and how 1t will and in
SO doing she is showing no discourtesy
to any one of her attentive friends

URGES POTATO MEN
ACT QUICKLY TO MEET
FARM LABOR SHORTAGE

Federated growers issue open letter
to Potato exchanges.
Cooperative organization and feder-
ated selling by potato growers = is
urged in an open letter under date of
May 18th by the Federated Fruit and
Vegetable Growers to the potato ex-
changes and associations Of this and
other states, as one means Of meeting
the serious farm labor shortage just
apparent from the countrywide sur
vey conducted by the American Farm
Bureau Federation.
The letter points out that "the ex.
perience Of the organized apple and
grape producers. citrus growers,
cranberry men, strawberry growers
and market gardeners throughout the
country shows that cooperative mar.
keting organizations greatly reduce
the time which the individual farmer
must put on his marketing problems.
With grading, bagging, labelling. ETC.,
largely handled under cooperative su-
pervision at shipping points. the
growers have more time for the ac-
tual work of harvesting. And every
hour is going to count on the 1928
potato crop"
Farmers cannot bid against indus
try for labor at present wage rates,
and with wages tending higher in the
majority OF states, there is no i'm
mediate prospect that the situation
will be relieved within the season.
The cost of production promises to be
high and the grower must meet these
costs by reducing waste in his selling
methods.
"The shortage of labor, with result
ing high wages carries right through
from the farm to the last city buyer. :"
according to the statement Of the
Federated Fruit and Vegetable Grow
ers. "It bears as directly upon the
plan Of distribution and selling as
upon the methods employed in each
community, although less tangible, of
caurse, because it is not so easily
visualized. Co-ordinated distribution
and nationwide selling-which is the
next logical step for potato mem
eliminates marketing waste and this
coming year may be considerable
factor toward making up for higher
labor costs"

Check Cucumber Beetle
by Using Dust Mixture

One Of the best methods of control.
ling the cucumber beetle, according to
Carl ]. Drake, state entomologist at
Iowa State college, is to dust the
young plants with mixture of one
part Of calcium arsenate and 20 parts
Of gypsum.
The dust can be applied with q
shaker made by punching holes In the
bottom of a half-gallon tin can with
an eight-penny nail. The first appli.
cation should be made Immediately
after the young plants break through
the ground. After that the plants
should be busted either early in the
morning or late in the evening from
two to three times per week and fol-
lowing rains.
Usually from 10 to IL applications
per season are all that are required,
although more are necessary in the
case of exceptionally severe attacks
by the beetles. If these directions are
followed rather closely, there Will be
no trouble in controlling the cucumber
beetle.

Sleeveless Gowns
Welcomed Fashion
Comfort Is the Chief Attraction;
Graceful Shoulder Lines

Nobody knows how 1t happened, but
this season sleeves have refused TO
take any part In, the cast-off garments
designed for afternoon wear, declares
fashion writer in the Detroit News.
Heretofore they have starred as q fear
ture in most of the modish gowns and
true as the old adage that "a man Is
known by the company he keeps" so
the up-to-dateness of a gown was
gauged by the sleeve II attached. Then,
having been the one distinguishing
note, with every whim for the unusual
humored to nth degree, sleeves sud
denly repudiated old. associates and
retired from the frock entirely.
So the modern afternoon gown bill
lows, clings or trails, as the case may
be, but altogether innocent of any
thing that could be construed as a
sleeve, and accepts the abDreviation
quite as a matter of course.
No gown that has been deserted by
q pair of sleeves is going to display
any chagrin over the matter, and there
really isn't any reason TO take 1t much
to heart, for the long, graceful shoul-
der lines that supplant the erstwhile
sleeve have a charm all their own.
Add to this the comfort of a sleeveless
gown on a torrid afternoon and FASH
ion can snap her fingers in the face of
the sleeve and care not jot for its
retirement.

of the past year discovers hint of
what has come about in the shorter
and shorter lengths, the open shoulder
seam and other innovations that have
paved the way for complete disappear
ance Of what was once considered a
very essentials part of. the afternoon
frock. But while the sleeve has been
eliminated, skirts have been elongated,
so there is no economy of material to
be discovered in the new modes that
confront femininity.
Lovely and Graceful.
Boldly stated, a gown for afternoon
devoid of sleeves sounds rather shock
ing. But no matter, how 1t sounds tt
talk about IT, to observe 1t Is to lose
every scruple the vocal proclamati ton
has conjured. Sleeveless, gowns are
lovely and graceful, and ingratiating,
appearing as casual, as perfectly cor
rect, as anything in the way of frock
could possibly be.
Every kind Of soft, clihglng fabric

fundamental rules that have been

1t must first be definitely ascer

This information can only be OBJ

The making of such canvass Is a

exercise of good judgment, for the
reason that unintentional but gross
overstatement of the unmarketed and
unused portion of the fruit which
could be used as evaporation stock Is
the rule rather than the exception. 1t
must be borne In mind that In the
case of apples, only mature, reason
ably sound fruit Of fair size will make
marketable dry product and that
estimates which include premature
drops, specked and decayed fruits,
and small-sized cider apples are
worse than useless because mlslead-

account all fruits grown In the dis
trict, the location Of the center of
supply, the length of time over which
the ripening of each will extend, and
the maxlmum quantity per day which
the plant win be required to handle.
With this data In hand 1t will be
possible to determine the size and
type Of evaporator needed. AS the
fruits will in most cases be varied the
plant should be of generalpurpose
type, so constructed that 1t will han
die equally well all materials. such as

IN ADDITION to the harvest weather
forecast service in New York state,
the weather bureau Of the United
States Department of Agriculture pro-
vides forecasts which are Of great i'm
portance to the fruit-spraying service
maintained by the New York, State
College Of Agriculture. 4 The purpose
bf this service, Is tosadvise fruit grow
ers In all matters pertaining to the
spraying of fruit for the control Of in
sect and 'otherspssts.
4 County. Aeehtsls Head.
The county agricultural agent is Mt
the head of this service in each coun-
ty. He bears the responsibility of
notifying the growers in his county,
by telephone, mail Or, other, means
whenever a, spray application Is advis-
able. Most growers are prepared to
spray Immediately on receipt Of his
advice, and do so In accordance with
his directions. New York fruit grow
ers spend approximately $3,000,O00 an
nually In spraying operations.
In general three to five spray ,appli-
cations are made each season. 1t Is
Of the utmost Importance that each be
applied at exactly the right timeI
neither too early nor too late, to avoid
loss Of labor and material and to catch
the pests under exactly right condi-
tions. In the case Of apple scab, for
example, widespread and injurious
fungus pest, the scab remains prac-
tically dormant during fair weather.
but becomes actively infectious DUR
Ing rainy spells. The ideal condition
for control of this pest, therefore, is
two or three days of fair weather to
apply the spray, followed by rainy
period.
Forecasts Essential.
Weather forecasts are essential In
connection with the control of this
pest by spraying. and for practically
all fruit pests. The county agent, in
preparing his, advices to growers.
takes account of the probable weather
condition for three or four days in
advance and the condition of buds and
fruit an reported by the field agent
who travels about the county observ-
ing the development Of the fruit buds
and also of the various pests. Twelve
counties have organized for this work,
and all of them regard the weather
bureau forecasts as Indispensable.

Weapons to Be Employed
% Against Flies on Farm

If 1t Is impossible to get rid Of the
breeding places Of flies on the farm
the best protection to the animals
will be found In the use of repellants
or mixtures which when applied to the
iapimAlsf WIZ prevent the flies from at
'taclsinge them. according to George
Dean, Kansas state entomologist.
He suggests the possibility Of de
stroying the breeding places Of the
horn fly, which is found in clusters
on the shoulders, back and fianks of
cattle in pasture, by scattering the
animal droppings. Old rotting straw
piles are the breeding places of the
stable or biting fly, and Professor
Dean suggests the advisability, IL pos
~ible, Of cleaning up or doing away
with them. II
