THE SEWING BASKET

There Is surely a great need for
warm school and play dres which
will withstand the coolest Of winter
blasts. School rooms are often drafty
and the child is continually in and
out of doris, running about without
a coat and catching cold. Most little
girls hate to be all bundled up in
stuffy sweaters and scarfs, but would
be quite willing to stay properly
warm, if the garment was attrac-
tive, too. In the picture is shown
ne-piece dress made of woody imi-
tation astrakhan, that is SO much
used now for trimmings and short
coats and other accessories.
One patterns is simple kimono
style, with straight sleeves cut In one
with the rest of the dress. At each
side there is a considerable flare to
allow freedom of movement, and the
neck is cut just large enough to per-
nit passage of the head, as there
is no other opening. 1t Is V-shaped
in front, bout with matching braid
The braid Is used in rows, with one
row of a bright red color. Then, for
decoration on the lower half of the
frock, there are appliqued large
triangles of the different colors. If
the prevalent gray shade of astrak-
han is used, the braid might be gray
and red and black.

of the state were back of the work
for homeless children and that we
would be better able to meet their
needs than ever before.
''The splendid work of your club
not only aids us in meeting immedi-
ate needs, but will be an inspiration
to others to do what they can

100 STUDENTS ENROLLED
FOR NONRESIDENT WORK

Approximately 100 students are en-
rolled in the nonresident instruction
courses at the University of idaho
This branch of service was estab
lished a year ago and is a part of the
university's program of statewide
service.
Full college credit is given for the
completion of any of the credit cour-
ses offered under the nonresident
instruction plan," says an announce
ment by the committee on non-resi-
dent instruction.
"The majority of the nonresident
students are drawn from the ranks
of the teaching profession, and are
either teachers in service who are
working toward a degree, or those
who wish to make profitable use of
their leisure time. In the latter
group are a number of persons who
hold baccalaureate or masters de-
grees from institutions in other
states"
The work is directed by the com
mittee on nonresident instruction.
Miss Bernice Mccoy, former state
superintendent of public instruction,
who is studying for her masters de-
gree in education and serving as
graduate assistant in the department
of education of the university, is the
secretary in charge of this work.

.SCHMITZ WARNS OF
DANGER TO TIMBER
FORESTRY PROFESSOR TELLS
UNIVERSITY CLUB OF WHITE
PINE BLISTER RUST.

j The state of Idaho may as we'll
plan now what it is going to do when
white pine blister rust gets into the
stands of white pine in this state be-
cause it is coming sooner or later"
said Dr. Henry Schmitz, associate pro-
fessor of forestry of the University
| of Idaho school of forestry, in ad-
dressing the University club last
night. We may prevent its entry
from one to many years and each
year it's entry is postponed is worth
thousands of dollars to the state. For
this reason no stone should be left
unturned which might help put off
the evil day when we must combat
this insidious disease in our forests
cit is essential, yes imperative, that
all cultivated black currants be de-
stroyed at once for this is the cheap
est and easiest means to delay its
entrance. The disease cannot spread
from pine to pine but spreads from
pine to currant and back again to
pine All currants and gooseberries
may become infected after the dis
ease has once become established but
the cultivated black currant is the
arch offender in assisting the disease
to become established"
Invades United States 1900.
DR.. Schmitz then gave briefly the
States, stating that it reached this
county in about 1900, but was not
found until 1906 at Geneva, New York.
BY 1913 it had spread over large
part of the New England states and
today it is found practically wherever
white pine is found in the eastern
half of the United States.
Late in the fall of 1921 white pine
blister rust was found at Vancouver,
B. c., and the work done during the
past year shows that it is quite widely
distributed in British Columbia, and
western Washington. The fact that
the disease has been found at Revel-
stoke, B. c., presents the most serious
aspect of the situation as far as
Idaho is concerned"
Idaho Forests Endangered
"We have felt ourselves more or
less secure in that we felt that the
dry belt of central Washington
would act as barrier to the spread |
Of the disease eastward" continued |
DR.. Schmitz. Unfortunately, how
ever, the blister rust has been found /
On this side of the supposed barrier
and it is now free to work its way /
down through the pine belt to Idaho.
"T The time for talking is past and
he time for action has arrived. 1t
Is the duty of every citizen of the
various northwestern states to sup
port any legislation passed with the
view of controlling the disease 1t
nay cost little money, a very little,
)ut if it is allowed to go uncontrolled
he losses will amount to millions of
lollars. This sum, staggering as 1t
nay seem, is not idle conjecture. We
llready have sufficient data available
o know what will happen when the
lisease breaks loose in Idaho"

COLORADO CROP NEWS

Partial reports of country assessors
to the state immigration department
indicate that the acreage devoted to
sorghums and other forage crops in
Colorado this year will be the largest
in the history of the state. Substan-
tial increases over last years acreage
also are indicated for millet, beans,
broom corn and probably corn.
Increase in the acreage devoted to
all these crops are due chiefly to loss
es suffered by the winter wheat crop,
which has been heavily damaged by
long continued drought during last
fall and winter. The acreage planted
to winter wheat last fall was below
normal, due to unseasonably dry
weather in the wheat belt at planting
time. AS a result of continued dry
weather much of the wheat planted
did not come up and much of that
which came up did not advance sat
isfactory during the winter months.
Much Of the ground planted to winter
wheat was therefore plowed again
this spring and planted to other crops,
chiefly to those named above.
The drought was most marked in
eastern Colorado countries and was
especially severe in the southeastern
part of the state. The largest percent
age of loss in winter wheat acreage
has perhaps occurred in Baca county,
and the result here has been a notable
increase in acreage of sorghums. corn
and broom corn. Baca and Powers
counties grow most of the states
broom corn, and will evidently have
larger acreage of this crop this year
than for several years. Baca county
also is the leading county in acreage
of grain sorghums and its acreage
this year will perhaps be the leading
on record. Substantial increases in
acreage of grain sorghums also are
indicated for Kiowa, Cheyenne, Lin
coin, Kit Carson, Las Animas and
other counties. while counties in the
northeastern part of the state will
show increase in the acreage devoted
to sweet sorghums and millet
The acreage of beans apparently
will not be so large as that for 1918,
when the war demand greatly in
crease the production of this crop.
It will be much greater than that for
last year, however, the principal in
crease being for Weld. Logan, Morgan
Adams, Arapahoe, Ebert and Ell Paso
counties. As beans may be planted late
in the season, the recent genera
rains may result in even further
increase in acreage devoted to this
crop. Such assessors reports as have
already been received indicate an in
crease of above 80 per cent. 1t the
same number of farms is reported this
year as last year the increase Of sor-
ghum should be above % percent
