Cultivation Still Effective
Against Weeds

WASHINGTON - B A warn
ing to farmers who are fighting
weeds with the new herbicides of
recent years was issued by Warren
G. Shaw, agronOmist with the U. S.
Department of Agriculture. Shaw
comes out in favor of cultivation as
one Of the most effective ways to
control weeds.
"No available herbicide," says
Shaw, "will kill all weeds and leave
crop plants completely unharmed.
If we do not cultivate to control re-
sistant weeds, it will be only a
short time until fields will be
Weedier than ever-with weeds
even more difficult to control"
Shaw adds that research results
throughout the country show that
even when weeds are controlled
with chemicals, many soils will give
higher crop yields when cultivated
at least once.

1900, to plant apple seeds so that
future generations might enjoy the

COAL FLOWER.

From Mrs. E. r.. Washingtot.J
Mrs. D. B. p: In answer TO your
request for the coal flower, ! made
one, and I used fish bowl to
make it in. In the bowl I put q
tablespoon Of bluing, 2 table,
spoons of water. | large lump of
coal, and enough salt to cover the
piece of coal. Then you may add
Ia few drops OF cake coloring,
iodine or merchurochome. And
then. every day sprinkle q little
salt on the coal. II q little salt
lis put around the side of the bowl
lit will grow up the sides of the
bowl. and it is most interesting
to watch it grow.
From Mrs. NJ. E. NJ, Washington.J
Here are the directions which
I clipped from the Readers Clear
ing House some time back. Place
in shallow bowl in the order
mentioned: One lump of hard
coal. tablespoons Of salt, 2
tablespoons bluing, 3 tablespoons
of water and six drops of mercu-
rochome. A few drops of water
once a week Con the side of the
coaD after the original mixture
has been absorbed, will keep it
moist and growing. If the growth
should go over the bowl. do not
put pieces cut off in the drain,
but place in trash, as the water
will make it grow in the pipe.

We first saw these IN Paris
last year and were duly notified
by, a friend In Istanbul that
they're just what ] want" So
promptly we bought her pair
and sent them on to Turkey.
Sent them on. that is. to the
tune of $50!
A couple Of days ago we
glimpsed the same idea in gilt
tering earrings and were quite
amazed to realize (well, not too
amazed, considering mass pro-
duction) to see that they were
priced almost Enthusiastically low
as compared with our Paris pur-
chase.
There's a variety of colors
available In these new earrings,

There are facilities to do your

hired laundresses to do the wash

Most Americans preferred to
live in the suburb of San Isidro.
Mirahores is an older suburb and
lis closer to the ocean, which makes
for more mildew. an ever-present

lamp bulbs in your closets to keep
them dry.
And don't forget the sweaters.
Many people, not equipped with
the proper wardrobe, wear their
coats to dinner parties and it's
quite uncomfortable to eat a
lseven-course dinner with a winter
coat on.
I do hope you enjoy Lima, and
don't miss the bull fights. They
are thrilling.

KEEPING DOUGH.

fFrom s. D., Wnshington.J
To Mrs. W., Falls Church: Pie
dough may be rolled out, put In
pans and stacked, as many deep
as you wish, with a sheet of waxed
paper between. This may be kept
two weeks or more in refrigerator,
ready to be used at q moment's
notice. Pumpkin pie filing may
be made several days in advance
and poured In. in a moment, when
needed. A well-iced cake will keep
a day or two uncut, and a cold
oven acts as an excellent con-
tainer for keeping 1t even after it
has been cut.

BRAIDED RUGS.
(From Mrs. W. H. o., Lanton.)

.
In answer to Mrs. w. K. E.,
Washington, about braided rugs
I am now in the process of braid
ling a 9x12-foot rug, my first, of
new 100 per cent wool remnants.
These wooden remnants are avail
liable for both braided and hooked
rugs at Gibson Mills, Inc, P. O.
Box 181. Canal Street Station,
New York Is, N. Y.
For my 9x12-foot rug they rec
commended 80 pounds of wool. The
average price per pound is about
$50 cents. This may vary with
different colorS, or If they must
select your colorS. They have what
they refer to as rug kits" for
various colored smaller rugs which
seem quite reasonable. Also in
|cluded in every order are rug tools,
patterns and instructions free.
I found folding the braids by
hand much more satisfactory than
using the metal braider sets, for
I could make the braids much
broader.
However, If you will write to
this company, specify you are
braiding a rug and how large.
Then they viii send you their cat
|alog. order blanks and samples in
your choice of color, and tell you
how much wool you will need.
They handle just about anything
in the line Of rug making, includ-
ing a dye color kit with instruc-
lions. I found IL unnecessary to
dye as the colors were lovely. Their
remnants are "top Names In WOOL
ems and they guarantee satisfac-
ton.
I hope I have been of some help
to you.
