IL Is usually interesting, sometimes

the Partisan Interpretation Of Amer
lean taste in dress as It is illustrated
In the French models designed to in
trigue the fancy Of women Of fashion
on this side Of the ocean, says fash
lon writer In the New York Times.
Anything bearing the stamp Of Paris
designer Is no longer guarantee Of it's
acceptance here, and styles are OBJ
viously modified or especially built to
please a larger audience than a
French one.
Sometimes the result Is felicitous,
sometimes otherwise and some strange
Ideas are expressed In the creations

differ sufficiently In individual express

which to create q style of ones own.
One couturiere employs plating 80

Another lends distinction to the severe

as Nine. Vionnett keeps to the simple
graceful draperies for which she Is
known; or, as Callot, makes a feature
Of scarf or sweeping train.
This season has brought out some
Of the most engaging styles seen in
many years, models of beauty and ar
tistic value, In fine fabrics and charm
ing colors. Extremes and extrav-
agances~ have been avoided. More
emphasis has been given to lines and
ensemble and to considerations of suit
ability by such houses as Drecoll, who
cleverly demonstrates the possibili-
ties Of the circular flounce; Lanvin,
who is translating quaint fashions of
the Eighties; Premet, whose straight
simple outing frocks are one of the
outstanding successes Of the day; and
Louise Boulanger, who lengthens her

Each Of these and the others we'll
known to women Of fashion have some
mark by which their models are
known-a collar, a belt, garniture,

shows an originality very chic, as for

'H0PPERs DESTROYING CROPS
Outbreaks Reported In Parts 81 chIsa-
90, Stearns and Todd Counties.

Grasshoppers are damaging pastures
and grain crops in many parts of Chi
sage county and are also reported in
overabundance in Stearns and Todd
counties, according to c. E. Nickel
entomologist with the agricultural ex-
tension division of the university. Mr..
Nickel was called to Chisago county
by the county agent to put on a DEM
onstration for the benefit of farmers
in the mixing and spreading of poison
bats. He found enormous numbers
of young grasshoppers which had
about cleaned out pastures in certain
districts and were moving into the
grain. Since then the county agent
has been giving demonstrations and
encouraging the farmers to fight the
pest to finish.
Early and prompt action is neces-
sary in dealing successfully with the
grasshopper plague. When the grass
hoppers are grown it is a much more
difficult matter to eradicate them.
Early application of poison bait If
properly applied will absolutely clear
up an infestation, says A. G. Rug
giles, station entomologist at Univer-
sity Farm.
Mr.. Ruggles and J. R. Parker are
the joint authors Of Circular No. II
which tells how to kill grasshoppers
with poisoned bran mash. Full direc-
tons are given as to how to prepare
this bait and put it out. Copies Of the
bulletin are free and will be sent

CROPS ARE GOOD
EXCEPT FOR CORN
Andrew Boss of University of
Minnesota Sees Better Days
For Wheat Growers
Edited by the Agricultural Extension

Edited by the Agricultural Extension
Dept, University Of Minnesota.
Reports coming to University Farm
from over the state indicate that Min
nesota farm crops, except corn, are
making good progress and promise
satisfactory yields. Corn Is backward
everywhere; many fields have been
under water and are very weedy.
Andrew Boss of the university de-
partment Of agriculture believes that
spring wheat growers will be favored
this year. The plants are we'll rooted
and have stooled we'll. Good yields
should be obtained unless rust or some
other epidemic strikes the crop, he

look as encouraging. Farmers every.
where seem to have taken seriously
the word to decrease the acreage.
Weather conditions have been unfav-
orable in Europe and the crop there
Is below normal. 1T seems probable
that those who have a good crop of
wheat this year may fare better than
they have for several years back"
says Mr.. Boss.
Experienced strawberry growers say
this is the best year they have known
for that fruit. Everywhere the vines
appear to be heavily laden. There
will be good many apples grown in
Minnesota despite the cold backward
spring which adversely affected to
some extent the setting Of the fruit

ARMY WORM COMING THIS WAY
Trenches and Poisoned Bait Most e.
feetive Means Of Saving Crops.

Farmers in more than a score of
Iowa counties have reported the army
worm at work in corn and grain fields.
In Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and
other states the worm has already
caused heavy losses to grain, legumes,
and pasture crops. Iowa entomolo.
gists sent out word several days ago
that the pests were moving northward
at rapid rate.
Fields not infested can oftentimes
be saved from the migrating hosts by
the construction of bitches across the
line of march, with the vertical side
towards the crop to be saved. The
sides of the barrier should be smoothed
with spade and holes one foot deep
dug In the bottom of the furrow or
trench every 10 or Is feet. The worms
will gather in masses in thes9 holes
and can be quickly killed with kero-
seen or crude oil.
Fields already infested with the
worm may be saved with poison bait
made in the proportions of rs pounds
of wheat bran, one pound Of paris
green, two quarts low grade molasses,
and two and one-half gallons water.
Mix the dry bran and poison, then
dissolve the molasses in water and
stir the two together until a good
mash is obtained. Only sufficient wa
ter to hold the mash together when
pressed in the hand should be used.
This mixture should be broadcast over
he ground where. army worms are
abundant Care should be taken to
keep chickens away from fields on
which the bait has been spread.
To conserve moisture during the
dry season, keep the weeds cut before
they get well started.

JACK PINE FIGHTS FOR LIFE
Even Fire Cannot Always KIN 1t, A.
This Incident Shows.


Jack pine Is tenacious Of life and
will live and grow steadily with any.
thing like q chance. Even fire has
difficulty in eliminating jack pine
from its. lake states range.
A remarkable demonstration of its
reproductive capacity is pointed out
by A. E. Wackerman of the Lake
States Forest Experiment Station, Uni
versity Farm. A. six-year-old stand
Of this pine in northwestern Wiscon
sin, after having beers thoroughly
burned, successfully reproduced itself
from seed. The present four-year-old
stand of reproduction on more than
100 acres, -yhile not as dense as the
former stand, nevertheless has fully
restocked the area averaging 1,30(
trees to an acre, says Mr.. Wacker
man.
But in spite Of its ruggedncss and
will to survive, fire has stripped all
jack pine from many square miles in
the lake states, leaving in its wake
what are now known as the "barrens."
The reproduced stand Of four-year
old trees on the tract described BY
Mr.. Wackerman, which sprang from
the seed of the .fre-swept six-year-old
stand, is this year ripening its first
crop of well formed cones.
