WINTER GRAIN CROPS
IN GOOD CONDITION
Reserve Board Reports on Farm
Situation in Fifth
District.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


RICHMOND, March 5.-Little work
is done on farms in January and early
February, but this Winter has been the
mildest one for many years and more
outside work has been possible than in
most seasons. Winter grains, says the
Bank of Richmond, have had little or
no snow cover but neither have there
been any severe ice storms or freezes,
and growing crops are consequently in
good condition
Rains have been frequent enough to
supply all the moisture needed by, vege-
tation, and the mild temperatures have
advanced growth much beyond the nor
NAL point for this season of the year.
There is danger that fruits may ad-
vance too rapidly and be damaged by
frosts or freezes later in the Spring.
Indications are that acreage will be
reduced in nearly all crops this year.
partly because of unfavorable prices for
agricultural products and partly be-
cause of inability of the farmers to
finance their usual acreage.

the far corners of the world
Information for this study, received
from ia different countries, shows that
in some Of the most remote parts of the
world, whose inhabitants a few years
ago viewed with alarm their first sight
of an automobile, are now found facili-
ties to provide service for the growing
number who have been converted to
the use of the motor vehicle.
The department said the American
motorist usually can find service sta

Conservation
And Christmas

sion on his experiences III designing
gowns of the Edwardian period
worm by Diana Wynyard and other
who appear in "Cavalcade."
'Already, in current fashions
we have seen evidences of this re-
turn to the style ideas of three de-
cades ago, Luck continued. EN-
fact, for some of the ,'Cavalcade'
gowns | have been able to draw on
the smart salons of New York and
Hollywood for capes, fabrics, and
trims to be used in the idealized
costumes of the 190O-O6 period of
the story.
II say 'idealized' since theatrical
artihce, while demanding the re-
production of old styles in correct
period, also necessitates the soften
ing and subduing of these harsh
lines and exaggerated, ugly features
which makes you shudder should
you glance at Goundy's old fashion
plates.
"There is not, nor will there be,
any revival of the wasp waist;
no overwhelming of the shoulders;
no ridiculously small and befeath-
cred hats perched miraculously atop
ponderous pompadours. How the
smart and active woman of 1888
would rebel at such absurdities!
"Yet the battering shoulder cape
the elegance of fur, the bewitchins
muf, the moulded waistlines, ali
are with us today and will con-
tinue, l believe, to be the motivat-
ing force in determining the future
dictates Of Dame Fashion"
Miss Wynyard, who plays a ty-
pical English mother of the upper
class, wears a suit of Dutch blue
Lyons velvet trimmed with erminc
and chinchilla and a ripping little
cape sole tipped in ermine tails.
A hat of the same supple velvet
with a bandeau of ermine and chin
chilla tipped in ermine tails COM
pletes the costume.
A daytime dress is of rich wine
colored cloth with velvet, appli-
ques in the same shade. Leg O.
mutton sleeves and pointed bodice
trimmed with gold embroidered
ecru lace are other Edwardian de-
tails.

mot Enough Kick In
j., 2.75 Per Cent Beer

New York.-Izzy Einstein, who
won renown as prohibition agent
No. l." thinks the return of four
per cent beer would make most
Of America forget all about hard
liquor"
From my experience" he said
with a smile, "2.75 beer doesn't
taste like much, and | can't guar
antee it would end bootlegging or
rum-running."
The experience he mentioned in
cludes eight years as a prohibition
agent, during which he figures he
drank-strictly in the line of duty
about 1857 pints of beer.
"Of course" he conceded, with
a reminiscent grin, there are l lot
of people right here in New York
who think they're real drinkers
real experts at telling what's what
who don't know the difference
between ginger pop and liquid
dynamite.
Il raided a downtown speakeasy
once and the owner, with tears IN
his eyes, said, Izzy, take my whis-
key, but don't touch hat BEER
"Ee'd been in business FOR years,
he told me, and people came from
all over the city to get this won
derful beer.
"There were 1000 barrels of it.

The Outlook.

The Outlook.
Denver, Colorado, has solved the
Christmas tree problem in a way
that at once delights the children
and pleases the conservationists.
The forty thousand trees used in
the community this month are the
overflow of the Pike National For
est and timber lands under private
ownership. The trees used for
Christmas are those cut for the
sake of thinning the growth and
improving the condition of the
trees left standing.
The roadside through the Pike
National Forest displays signs in
viting purchasers for trees. One OF
these signs, for example, reads:
CHRISTMAS TREE AREA
Trees are sold and cut on this
area to thin the stand and secure
increased growth in remaining
trees. Cutting or removal of trees
is permitted only under the direct
supervision of the Forest Service. A
Forest officer will be on the area
during the Christmas season.
Under a city ordinance, all the
trees sold in Denver must bear tags
certifying that they were cut as
beneficial trimmings. Trees offered
without such tags subject the
vendors to legal penalty.
That no injury results is proven
by the fact that thinning requires
the cutting of many more trees
than those used for Christmas de-
coration.
Another method of using trees
for Christmas without depicting
our forests is that OF setting up a
living Christmas tree. For those
who have grounds in which they
can plant trees the use OF the l1v-
ing tree for Christmas serves a
double purpose. 1t not only insur-
es a tree that will remain fresh dur
ing the period Of celebration, but
it supplies a tree of intrinsic beauty
and sentimental associations for
the home grounds. There is at
least one organization which makes
a special business of providing such
trees, delivering them in specially
constructed cartons with their
roots kept fresh.
The Christmas tree is a legiti-
mate product of our forests, but it
should be and can be provided
without deforestation.

Why We Hang Up The
Christmas STOCKINGS

Dolly was singing: Hang up
the baby's stocking, be sure you
don't forget, for the dear little
dimpled darling has never seen
Christmas yet"
DO you know why we hang up
the Christmas stocking?" asked
Grandpa, who was smoking his
pipe before the log fire.
Sure" said Dolly. $50 Santa
Claus can put presents into it for
U.S."
"Well why not hang up a bag CT
a basket-why just a stocking?"
II don't know why" said
Dolly, "but we always do hang up
a stocking,"
''I'll tell you Why" said Grand
pa, pulling the small girl upon his
knee"
AS you know most of our Gus
toms have their origin in the man.
ners and customs of other countries
md other times. Long ago in the
middle ages when charity was not
the highly organized institution
that it is today, the wealthy and
more fortunate folks delighted in
sharing at different times of the
year their good fortune with their
poorer neighbors. One time of the
year especially well suited to gift
giving was the Christmas season
and at that time the poor folks in
Italy used to have their windows
open in the hope that some kindly
lord or lady would send a. remem-
brance in their direction. Now
you know that the most fun of
giving comes, not from being
thanked, but from the secret sat-
isfaction and inner knowledge that
you have of having done a good
deed. So, with the kind folks who
were going to dispense happiness.
They would wait until nightfall
and then under the cover of dark
ness, they would go from house to
house and Loss silken purses con-
tanning coins through the windows.
These purses were long not unlike
a stocking in shape, and from this
quaint custom of the gift-giving
Italians comes our present day
custom of hanging up our stock
lngs. In some countries the little
children set out their shoes to re-
ceive the gifts. But whatever the
shape or the form of the recepta-
Gle, and whatever the kind of gift
placed within it, the spirit of the
Christmas season is everywhere and
always the same-one of Joy and
love and peace"

He sold it for SO cents a bottle. Il
cost him about 2S cents a bottle,
he figured.
Il had a government chemist &C
down and test it. 1t was less than
one-half of l per cent.
And that man was cryine with
gratitude when he thanked me for
proving how he'd been cheated all
those years."
Einstein, who made 500 arrests
and bafled associates and liquor
dealers alike with the number and
ingenuity of his DISCUSSES, estimat-
ed there are 100000 ~speakeasies in
New York city, employing a total
of 100000 persons.
Anyone who thinks raising the
alcoholic content to us or even
4 per cent will bring back wine is
crazy he says. "Two-seventy-fve
wine tastes like William Jennings
Bryan's grape juice. Real winc has
to have IS OF 20 per cent alcohol"
He is now with the same insur-
ance firm of which Calvin Cool
idge is a director.

idge is good enough for me-" he

TRUE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

Two little stockings hung side bv side.
Close to the fireplace broad and wide
a'o oanta Claus, as down he came,
Loaded with toys and many a game,
no! Ho!' said he, with a laugh of fun,
III have no cheating, my pretty one.
l know who dwels in this house, NV dear.
there's only one little girl lives here"
90 n e cfept up close to the chimney place,
And measured a sock with a sober face.
Just then a wee little note fell out,
And huttered low, like a bird about,
'Ah! what's this?'' said he in surprise.
AS he pushed his specs up close to his eyes,
AND read the address in a child's rough plan.
Dear Santa Claus SO it began.
The other stocking you see on the wall
I've hung tor a girl named Clara Hall.
She's a poor little girl, but very good,
So | thought perhaps you kindly would
Fill up her stocking, too, tonight,
And help to make her Christmas bright.
1t you've not enough for both stockings there,
Please put all in Caras. | shall not care"
Santa Claus brushed a tear from his eye,
And God bless you, darling" he said with a sigh.
Then softly he blew, through the chimney,
A note like a birds as it scars on high,
When down came two of the funniest mortals
That ever were seen this side of earth's portals.
'Hurry up!' said Santa Claus, land nicely prepare
All the little girls wants where money is rare
Then, oh! what a scene there was in that room,
Away went the elves, but down from the gloom
OF the sooty chimney came %tumbling low,
A chllds wardrobe from head to toe.
How Santa Claus laughed as he gathered them in
And fastened one to the sock with a pin!
Right to the tee he hung a blue dress,
'She will think it came from the sky, | guess
When all the warm clothing were fastened on,
And both little socks were filled and done,
Then Santa Claus tucked a toy here and there,
And hurried away to the frosty air,
Saying God pity the poor and bless the dear child
Who pites them, too, on this night so wild!'

partment of Agriculture

pa1IInent OF
When grandmothers lived chiefly
in the country and raised their own
turkeys it was a widespread tradi-
ton for all the branches of a fam
lily tp gather at the old farm
Lome to share the holiday feast,
praise the cook, and exchange news.
Modern conditions make it more
convenient at times for both the
younger and the older generation
to discontinue these very large old
fashioned gatherings. The various
younger branches of the family Of
ten decided to celebrate individual
ly, or to take their turn entertain
ing the old folks. One reason for
the change is the fact that fine
turkeys are now available in almost
every market throughout the win
ter, as we'll as at the holiday season.
So they are less of a, novelty in
themselves, and other conditions
lead the modern young housewife
to try her hand at cooking them
rather than to look for an invita-
ton to the old home.
The less experienced housekeep-
er, however, is apt to hesitate be-
fore the problem of selecting the
royal bird. The United States Dc
partment of Agriculture suggests
that when she goes to market she
should look for tags attached to
the legs of the turkeys displayed,
indicating that the birds have been
inspected and graded by the bureau
of agricultural economics. The
turkeys on the retail market gener-
ally fall under one of three groups
prime" "choice," and medium.
The principal difference is in tn
amount of heshing and the oc.
curance of defects due to dressing
Prime turkeys are full-Aeshed, ane
medium are fairly well-Aeshed. A
turkey hat bears one of these
grades carries its own assurance Of
tenderness and p~alatability if pro-
perly cooked.
These graded turkeys are widely
distributed. A single group OF
chain stores may absorb as many a:
$50 carloads of 1000 turkeys each
Of course the housewife must &c
to market with some idea of the
weight bird she will need. If only
four people are to enjoy the din
uer, an eight-pound turkey will b
ample; in fact, it would serve six
VI eight if necessary. Perhaps a
ten-pound bird would be a better
choice for eight persons, and SO on,
correspondingly, with an increased
number.
One must know, too, whether
,he ants to cook a young or an
older turkey, the latter requiring
longer, slower cooking. Age is dis
tinguished, as with other poultry,
by the Aexibility of the tip of the
breast bone, which bends easily in
young birds.
As the government grades indi-
cate, feshing is the principal con-
sideration in selecting a turkey. An
exceptionally fine bird will have a
broad full-Aeshed breast, and the
back, hips, and pin bones will be
fully covered with fat. Young
birds are softer meat than older
ones, which have coarser flesh and
require longer cooking.
A good turkey should also be
we'll bled, we'll dressed, and free
from pin feathers. The crop should
contain no feed. There should be
no flesh bruises and very few skin
abrasions. A d~ry-picked turkey is
