Obtain Good Results in
Control of Peach BOrer

Very satisfactory results have been
obtained In the control of the peach
borer in the Southern states by the
application of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
states the United States Department
Of Agriculture. Interest in the use
Of this material has increased widely.
From present indications it looks as
though 100000 pounds Of p~aradlchloro-
b1nzene will be used around peach
trees in the Southeast this year for
the control Of the peach borer. Most
of this amount will be used in Georgia,
where a large percentage of the COM
mercial peach growers apply the chem
zeal. Last season about 100000
pounds were used in the same area.
Experiments to date indicate that ii
is safe to use the chemical, three
tourths to one ounce per tree, on trees
three years of age and over. Here
:ofore recommendations have been linn
tied to trees six years Of age and
over.

Snap-on Trimmings May
Be Applied to Same Hat

Five different kinds Of snap-on
trimmings may be applied to the same
hat. Either a small cloche shape or
a large mushroom Is good. though the
trimmings may be applied to any
shape whatever.
One trimming consists Of three
wheel ornaments made Of ribbon and
attached to q band Of ribbon which
eliminates in a semitailored bow.
Snaps are fastened to this trimming
on the under side to correspond with
snaps that have been sewn TO the hat.
so that all milady has to do Is look
over her array Of ribbon trimmings
and choose the one that matches her
costume and snap 1t onto her hat.
When q new costume is worn she
merely unsnaps this trimming, chooses
another and applies 1t in the same
way.

Give Vegetable Garden
a Thorough Cleaning Up

Much Of the success Of next years
vegetable garden depends on cleaning
up the trash left from this years
crops, says the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. Insects and dis
ease spores live ovcr the winter In
ctalks, vines and stubble. Weeds and
vegetable debris should be raked into
piles and burned or carried Off as soon
as it is convenient to do so. Pieces of
cabbage, carrots, potatoes and other
vegetables which have been left on
the ground in the harvest should be
raked up and destroyed to avoid at
tracing insects and rabbits. The rab-
bits, tempted by these titbits, may re-
main to bark the fruit trees and dam
age bushes. Time given to this work
in the fall will be we'll repaid in the
SDring anG summer.

Utility and Style

Some Of the most charming things
now offered by the col urieres and
shops are designed for sports, for
weekend entertaining and general
country wear. Frocks and wraps,
notes a fashion authority in the New
York Times, are made with both util-
ity and style considered, and the chic
ness of sports clothes has influenced
sharply the styles in all street cos
tunes. For all dress Of this charac-
ter are shown q great variety or ma

corduroys and a number of new
weaves. 1t is distinctly Il homespun

Should Consider Your
Windows and Hangings

No one would quarrel with the
statement that windows are for the
purpose Of admitting light and air into
q room. But that windows enter far
more extensively into the planning Of
q house than the foregoing statement
would seem to imply is also easily to
be understood. We must consider
them as decorative units from the
outside of the house and from the In
side Of the various rooms. These two
viewpoints must be closely related,
while at the same time recognizing
that they are different problems.
Then, too, windows must be cOnsid-
cred from the purely decorative stand
point-the unitarian side entirely for
gotten.
Windows, therefore, for much Of the
time that We spend in our homes ere
as much a part of the purely decora-
tive Of its finish as is the cOrnice.
dado, etc. In addition to these vari-
Gus phases Of window treatment we
have TO consider window draperies
and shades.
From all of these aspects we dis
cover that in planning and in finishing
much consideration must be given to
position, actual and relative size,
character, furnishing accessories.
Windows should not exceed the
bounds of utilitarianism, beyond this
they automatically become inartistic.
Any light, to be agreeable to the hui
man eye, must not be exaggerated.
lust as there should be no uncovered
electric light bulb in the house so
should there be no window admitting
intolerable light.

Many Factors Determine
Success in Hog Raising

Success in the hog business depends
upon many factors but the two out.
standing ones are the number Of pigs
narrowed per SOW and the number Of
pigs raised per sow, The farmer who
keeps sows that farrOw large filters
and saves q high percentage Of pigs,
cuts down the cost Of raising pork. 1t
Is not necessary fer him to carry q
large number OF SOW through the
winter to be assured Of a pig crop. for
he will raise as many pigs from ten
sows as the man with the poorer sows
and the greater pig losses will raise
from fifteen.

Crown Rust of Oats
Spread by Buckthorn
Ailment Blamed on Hedge
and Ornamental Plants.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agrtculture.)
Crown rust of oats is spread through
certain species Of b%uckthorn common
~ grown as hedge and ornamental
plants in some sections of the United
States, according to cooperative inves-
legations conducted by the United
States Department of Agriculture, the
Iowa experiment station, and other
c~o-operators. An epidemic at Hinton,
Iowa, caused by an infection from a
52O-rod hedge, was SO severe In 1921
that the oats in the adjoining fields
were not harvested.
The part that these species of buck
thorn play in the spread of this dis
ease has been studied for several
years. A bulletin discussing the find
lngs OF the investigators has just been
issued by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture as Department
Bulletin 1852, and is now available TO
those interested in the subject.
The bulletin Is of a technical nature,
discussing the relative Importance Of
the different species of buckthorn and
citing instances of damage which fur
nish conclusive evidence Of the fact
that this shrub Is responsible for the
harboring and spread of crown rust
infection. A copy Of the bulletin may
be secured from the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, Washington,
ID. c., while the supply lasts.

Costs Less TO Keep Clean.

More than 100000 deaths and over
100000 cases Of serious illness an
nually are ascribed by Federal anG
State health reports to needlessly I'M
sanitary conditions. 1t Is an amaz-
ing fact that most Of this needless
lack of sanitation Is found, not In
the cities, but among the rural and
small-town population.
Yet wholly sanitary conditions may
be brought about in the country just as
quickly and easily as in the city. The
actual expenditure involved is very
small, especially when you consider
how much the family's health will be
improved as a result. 1t will assu
also, Of course, a great improvement
In comfort.
Septic tanks, privy vaults, protec-
ton for domestic water supplies, rat
proof outbuildings-all OF these can
be provided for a little cost and q lit
tie work by any man. Full directions

ture for each Job, what tools you will

Flower Holders.

If you like real decoration in your
house you canno have too many flow
or holders Of various sorts. OF course
they are not to be kept ON display IN
less they are filled with flowers. But
frequently one likes TO have at least
two or three lunches of flowers
around. And certain kinds Of flowers
demand certain kinds of holders.
Therefore, it is well to gradually ac-
quire numerous receptacles for the
decoration we all like so much. Vases,
bowls and baskets should he included
In the collection.

was known as English" tweedy,

One Of the most striking models seen
in q Fifth an house is made OF
rough, but soft, English goods In
honey color, with narrow stripes OF
black, wide apart. A knee length
band Of the goods, using the stripe
crosswise, forms the bottom Of the
coat, and the large shawl collar is
made of Kamchatka fox. On the coats
OF soft-toned materials, the castors,
tans and browns, red fox is especially
harmonious. The newest sports coats
are cut on a generous plan, and swing
away from the figure, some with a de-
cided flare.

Breeders of Pure Bred
Stock Must Advertise

Pure bred live stoc.I breeders must
advertise their goods just the same as
the producers of other kinds of goods
must advertise their products. The
best way to advertise pure bred live
stock Is for the producer to show his
samples to the public at community.
county, state and national shows. Good
samples, well fatteG, give the breeder
good advertising. Poor samples give
him poor advertising so the breeder
should show his best s"mples to the
buying public in the most attractive
condition possible.

Guard Against Fire in
