900 FARMERS NINE !S|I5 a2a|32

Income from farming Is Hnepenly d.
pided. Only The top third of The mo-
fion's $780, 900 farmers are reaping tho
present bigb-Lepel incomes for agricuL-
fnraL Produce. The middle third arc
making about 5000 year wbile tho
IotDeSf third average no more than $500
year, according to estimates from CEN
sns statistics based on 1914 reports.
All these organizations are agreed
on general detectives. Briefly these
objectives are:
I To provide more opportunities
L. for earning a good living in the
country.
, To establish better rural health
q. and rural hospital services.
Z To provide more rural recre-
-. atoms and better uses for rural
leisure.
a To discover civic and cultural
7. outlets that will add to a feel
ing of appreciation of the impor-
lance of country life and the coun-
try home.
The work to be done in this
broad program does not concern
farm people alone. Every small
town has a stake in it. Whether
the towns Of the future grow in
importance or languish depends
on keeping a happy and salts
fed population both in the towns
themselves and the country
roundabout.
Ways to do this are what the lead
ers of local community enterprise
will have to discover. A knowledge
of what has been done by communi-
ties that have made notable prog
ress will be of interest to small
communities everywhere, particu-
larly those in a mood to do like
wise.
Future articles in this series will
tell about some outstanding small
community programs.

ton they reveal a lot of careful
tailoring and detail for which you do
not have the necessary time. A boxy
model, for example, would be easy
to use.
Whether the coat is single or dou-
Bile breasted makes little difference
as to ease in sewing; the selection
Is one of taste. The double breasted
models generally are preferred be-
cause the coat has a good overlap
which is nice for active youngsters.
Never make clothing of this type
too large in the hope the child will

Reversible Coats
Are Practical
The straight-line reversible coat is
very practical to make at this time
of year, because we soon will be
getting into warmer, rainier wealth
er. These are really very simply
done because you may use the
tweed or wooden from an old over
coat and then secure a gabardine
type that is water-repellent for the
other side.
In the case of the reversible coat,
you cut two coats exactly the same.
Each coat is put together and it is
not until they are each completely
sewed that you will join them.
1t usually is best to make the cot
ton coat first so that you will make
the wooden coat more easily after
having had the experience with the
cotton, which is. slightly easier to
sew and incidentally easier to rip.
When you sew the coats together,
turn the front edges so they face.
Slip-stitch the edges together. Run
machine stitching at the top of the
hemline, through both the wooden
and the cotton. The edges will not be
joined together below the stitching.
Now stitch the edges of the
sleeves together, turning them so
they face each other. The edges
should meet exactly and be Slip
stitched together.
The collar is joined last. When the
coat is completely put together,
measure for buttons and buttonholeS
and sew these last of all.
Hoods, Pockets
Are Essential
Whether the coat is for winter or
for in-between seasons, it is very
practical to make a hood to go with
it. 1t offers protection from wind
and weather as well as rain, and
saves looking for hat, as children
sometimes will need to do.
If you are making a reversible

cotton material so that it can be re-
versed when the coat is turned. If
you have made the coat of wool, line
it with the plaid or check you have
used for the lining of the coat. This
will add warmth and protection as
well as making an integral part of
the coat. a..
Hoods should be detachable so
that, if the coat is used for dress, it
can be removed easily and a hat
used in its place.
Don't hesitate to put in pockets
as these will give practical value as
well as a nice tailored appearance
to the coat. These, too, may be lined
with cotton flannel, plaid, plain or
checked for warmth.
Buttons should be sturdy but not
sewed too tightly as they will come
off easily. Make buttonholes care
fully so they will not fray and de-
tract from the appearance of the
coat.
Zippers may be used in place of
buttons if they slide easily and are
well sewed in. They're very popular
for the three-quarter length boys
and girls coats.

Agricultural lettings
BY Alfred Edney
If IN cain you toll,
you must blame the culture
not the soil

Agriculture is that art which
deals with the cultivation or
tl1ling of the earth in order to
produce food for man and
beast. It is the basis Of all the
other arts and has been car
ried on from the dawn of civ
ilation. This very important
art is divided into several
parts as for instance: Animal
Husbandry which is the feed
ing, caring and breeding of an
imals SO that they might be of
more economic value. It is a
highly specialized industry to-
day. Agronomy deals with the
wheat production Of field crops
such as oats, corn, wheat and
sugarcane. Horticulture is the
raising of vegetables, flowers
and fruits. Agriculture or bee
keeping for economic purposes
is also another phase of agri-
culture. Then there is agricul-
tural chemistry which deals
primarily with a first hand
study of the various types Of
soil and the substances they
contain. The proper filling of
the various types Of soils and
their moisture holding capa-
cities, another important con-
