SWEET POTATOES

The growing OF sweet potatoes in
the State of Washington is increasing
both in acreage and interest. On ac-
count of this the Experiment Station
at Prosser, Washington, is not only
repeating the sweet potato work car
ried on at the Station the past year
but is going into other angles and
phases of the problems which affect
the commercial growing of this new
crop.
The same methods OF irrigation will
be tried again. Several new varieties
will be added to those which have
been grown previously. ALI var
ieties will be grown under uniform
conditions and observations as to yield,
qua ity, and resistance to Diseases.
The new phases which the station
will delve into this year, are the grow
ing of potatoes in ridges. as compared
to fiat culture; and lifting the vines
as compared to non-lifting. BY lift
ing is meant pulling the rooted run
ners loose from their moorings. AT
some ether station this practice re-
suits in increased results while other
stations report the reverse. Vine cut
tings, taken from the growing plants
are being grown to determine whether
or not crop of small sweet potatoes
for seed purposes can be grown in our
northern areas.

taken up. The moisture content will
be the basis of determining this point
rather than merely certain number
of days at given temperature, which
is the only information we now have.
Several weighed crates Of sweet po-
tatoes will be placed in the curing
chamber and then removed at various
moisture losses, ranging from three
to fifteen per cent. These crates will
then be watched throughout the stoT-
age period in order to determine which
moisture content puts the tubers in
the best condition to hold up over the
storage period.

Suggestions of Lunches
Suitable TO All Needs

While the carrying of lunches is
still by far the most common prac-
tice, taking country and town to-
gether, there are a few cases in which
it is thought desirable for the school
to share with the home the resDonsi
bility for the monday meal. In some
places the task for the school may be
hardly more than that of providing
clean and safe places for lunch
baskets, where the food will not be
likely to become dirty or TO spoil. In
others it may be practicable to pro-
vide by one means or another hot
dish with which to supplement foods
brought from home. In still others,
particularly where large attendance
and many teachers and other workers
make subdivision of labor a compara-
lively easy matter, it may be possible
for the school to establish and main.
tain lunch rooms. In Farmers Bul,
letin 712, School Lunches, suggestions
are made for types of lunches suit
able to all these needs.

variably color contrasts. Washable
crepe de chine and tussah are also
excellent for the active sports frock.
For the motor I use mannish tissues
and in every case employ fur as a
trimming. The traditional leather coat
in the various beige shades l have
again included for the motorist.
For the tailored suit and afternoon
ensemble the most significant note is
the employment of entirely contrasted
fabrics. AS for the tailored suit, the
short jacket and the long jacket have
made way in my collection for the
three-quarters length type, which Is
more supple and better answers the
needs of the moment For afternoon
many ensembles employ georgette
crepe or printed crepe de chine in their
dresses and then use the identical fab
ric again for the coat. On afternoon
coats I frequently add collars of fur
in order to make them more pleasing
to the eye
For the daytime frock three fabrics
lead. Printed mousseline de sole,
printed crepe georgette and the re-
doubtable taffeta. l have made it a
particular point whenever using taffeta

Peppers Useful in Many
Dishes to Glue Fl0Uor

Sweet mild green peppers are some
times served by themselves as a vege-
table dish, either fried In butter,
broiled or baked in the oven. After
they have been washed, they are usu-
ally prepared for any of these meth
sods of cooking by cutting them in half,
and removing the core and seeds. They
should be basted with butter If they
are cooked In the oven or brOiled un-
der the gas flame. Sometimes the skin
is removed when they are served. To-
mato sauce or lemon juice may be
used for seasoning.
Because Of their pronounced favor,
peppers are more often combined with
other vegetables or foods than served
alone, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. After parboiling
for two or three minutes they are
stuffed in many ways, either whole or
split down the middle, and baked. Left
overs of many sorts may be utilized in
making the stuff1ng. From third to
a half of this is usually starchy ma
terial. such as bread crumbs, cooked
rice macarani, mashed potato or corn.
One or more of the following will be
found to blend well with the flavor of
any of these and of the pepper con-
tainer. Meat, fish, cottage cheese, pea
nuts. celery, tomatoes, chopped onion,
string beans or other vegetables. Such
filings are mixed with the starchy

Patou's Ideas of
Milady's Apparel
White Favored for Evening /;
Avoids Robe de Style;
Lelong Models.

VIII the spring and summer of 1925
bring as many significant fashion
changes as 1925? That is the i'm
portant question of the moment, writes
Jean Patou in the New York Herald
Tribune. If you will remember, it was
just one year ago that launched my
spring collection and featured the
raised waistline, at the same time
entirely disregarding the low waist,
which had been in vogue for so long
before. Some of my good friends as
sured me that 1 was foolish-that the
raised waistline was doomed to fail
ure. Now I see all those same sturdy
defenders of the lowered line slowly
but surely adopting the raised waist
line and declaring with charming in
genuousness that they had always
been In favor Of it. That is the way
of the mode. And what Is laughed at
today may be a tremendous vogue to-
morrow. 1t is always important to
bear this in mind.
A Mode Of Materials.
If the higher waistline was the out
standing development Of 1925, what
will be the principal fashion feature
Of 1926? Let me assure vou that
there will be no appreciable change in
the silhouette. The waistline will re-
main at the top Of the hip, where
placed it last summer, and che outline
in general will not greatly Depart from
last seasons smart silho7lette. The
most important differentiation between
the new mode and the old is material
one-the employment of distinctly new
fabrics. In saying new I may not be
exactly correct, because one Of the two
outstanding fabrics of the coming sea-
son does not deserve that description.
l refer, Of course, to taffeta-an an
cient friend which is returning vigor-
ouSly to the scene of former triumphs,
models from the tailored walking suit
to the formal afternoon dress, and
even for coats. However, and this will
astonish you, am sure, l entirely dis
regard taffeta for the robe de soir, be-
cause taffeta, when used in evening

de style, and I have buried that par
ticular type Of dress for many years.
Nor do I favor it now, despite it's ap-
parent popularity this season. The
second novelty among materials is a
crepe georgette which has almost the
weight of cloth and which may be en-
ployed in the making Of the tailored
coat and suit This material is new in
everything but name. It differs from
any crepe georgette which has been
used in the past.
The dominant note of my entire col
lection, and one which I believe you
will note generally throughout the new
spring models of other designers as
well, Is the duality of tendencies
which prevails. On the one hand there
Is the sports influence, which is max
ing itself felt more and more. The
sweater should have preponderant
place in every morning wardrobe-it
is quite the vogue for afternoons, and
it has even commenced to invade the
evening mode. Indeed, even last sea-
Arizona state miner., 1926-04-24

son there were several dinner dresses
which were nothing more than decol-
lete sweaters worn over jumpers. The
second tendency, quite opposite and
featured particularly in my collection.
Is the return of frilly femininity and
veering away from masculine cos
tunes, achieved principally by using
such materials as mousseline lace and
taffeta
For Evening Wear.
My color preference for evening runs
counter to what is generally accepted
for spring. I favor white as the prin-
cipal color and I have completely neg
lected black. For afternoon, beige and
clear gray are the leading colors, after
which come the pastel shades, always
fresh and clear. For sports wear l
prefer English tissues for jumpers and
Coats, jersey and silk for sweaters,
sometimes the two combined, and in

Car!

YOU own Chevrolet, Pontiac, an
Oldsmobile, an Oakland, Buick or
- Cadillac, youown General Motors car.
But what" you may ask, "does that
mean to mel" It means Just this:
General Motors is family of companies
building motor cars and trucks and such
other famous automotive products as Fisher
Bodies, Delco and Remy electrical systems,
Harrison radiators andAC spark plugs Still
other General Motors products are Delco-
Light electric power plants and Frigidaire
electric refrigerators. There are General
Motors plants in ~ cities, employing
10000 people; and sales and service
organizations in IA countries.
General Motors uses the combined
resources of this great family for the benefit
of each member. 1t effects great savings inthe
purchase of quality materials; it provides the
best Of engineering talent; it maintains the
worlds largest research laboratories and
proving ground for automobiles; and it
assures the permanence of its various divi-
sions and the products which they make.
In other words, General Motors has every
facility and every incentive to maintain
quality and to offer value for the price; and
the current models of General Motors cars
are offered as the greatest values in the his
tory Of the automobile industry.
