Paris Styles
By MARY FENTRESS

Paris (UP)-Many of the ensem- bles in the new Goupy collection have three-quarter length redingotes. which are open from the fitted waist to show the skirt or dress underneath. The accom- panylng skirts are tailored and worn with blouses in a fine woolen material or in satin or crepe.
 Many of the packet suits are fashioned with full basques that are edged in fur in back, while the front is cut away from below the waist, to give the appearance of a short waistcoat. The dressier suits and coats are lavishly trimmed with collars of fur-sometimes forming an ld-fashioned tippet and some times a longer fur cape. Fur is used for for trimming whenever possible and makes pockets, buttons, tailored collars, revers and even waistcoats. Asthakhan, beaver, broadtail shaved lamb and Persian lamb are the most popular furs. Dresses likewise are fashioned with circular basques, while sleeves are emphasized with trimmings of fringe, frogging, braiding or gold studding.
 The evening silhoutte molds the figure by intricate gathering and shirring. Many tlnics are used with a bright color combined with black.

TEGUMES, such as sOybeanS and COwpeaS,
- are generally considered to be soil build
ers. 1t is true that these crops can get nitrogen
from the air but INSTRUMENTATION the soil for
phosphorus and potash, particularly potash.
For instance, each ton of soybean hay re-
moves from the soil about AZ pounds of actual
potash, equal to ga pounds of muriate of
potash, or 47O pounds of fertilizer containing
1O% potash.
Each ton of cowpea hay removes from the
soil about SO pounds of actual potash equal to
loo pounds of muriate of potash, or $50 pounds
of fertilizer containing 1O8S potash.
This explainswhy the plants often show signs
of potash hunger. When soybeans are starved
for Epotash they often suffer from an early,
false ripening period, commonly called chloro-
sis. At about blossom time the edges of the
leaves turn yellow and then the yellowin9 ad-
vances toward the veins.
Chlorosis is usually sign of low yield of
hay, poor quality seed and less organic matter
for the soil. Avoid this by liberal application of
high potash fertilizer such as 2-8-10. 1t is very
important that this be applied about two
weeks prior to seeding.
2-8-1O is properly balanced to produce vigor-
GUS, healthy plants. Liberal use of 2-S-10
results In bigger yields of better hay and
sound, plump seed at maturity. 2-8-10 fur
nishes plenty of phosphorus and potash, thus
preventing le9ume crops from robbine your
soil of these essential elements. 2-8-10 helps
to build up your soil because it maintains
plantfood balance and produces a vigorous
growth which means more organic matter, and
more nitrogen added to your soil from the air.
Your fertilizer man recommends 2-8-10 for
soybeans and cowpeas. Use this better fertilizer
this season. 1t Pays!
