LARGE VELVET HAT IN STYLE; WHITE VELVET PARTY FROCKS

NOT that the hat wlde-of-brlm has anile to supplant the little headfitting types in our affections —no indeed. that is not the message of this group of interesting velvet chapeaux. There Is. however, an "exception to every rule" and a fevj of these exeep tlons are set forth herewith The fact that these creations emanated from the salons of various noted French modistes confirms their style authenticity. A visit to exclusive shops tn America also reveals the fact that quite a showing of large velvet shapes are in-

Silver embroidery at neckline and girdle blends exquisitely with the soft sheen of the velvet. When Dorothy Culliver. that clever star who is shilling so brightly in the tirmauient of screen actresses, made tier appearance at- a recent social gathering, sh/danced her way straight into the hearts ot her many admirers. By the way, have you ever given thought to .an evening gown of bright orange-colored tulle? Well. Miss Cuiliver did. and had It made just as shown tn this picture, which'shows her good taste, for the effect of allyellow tulle Is enchanting. However, tplle for the evening frock may be white or flesh or black, or in pastel tints, according to the mode's decree, and In every instance it registers sprightly charm and fascination. Referring again to the frock of white velvet, there is a growing en thusiasni for pure white for evening wear The Idea is being carried out to the extreme, with results that are enchanting. For Instance, either a

white satin of a white velvet dress, draped to perfection is apt to give p>acemenl to a cluster of suuwy gardenias at the shoulder anti at the girdle as its only ornamentation. In the matter of snow-white tulle frocks, so popular for the younger set. many of these are worked with sliver thread and tiny “diamantes.** until the gown looks as If it were created for a ■>.vely snow queen. The Idea of making a semi-fitting bodice of white statin with a very bouf fant skirt tiered to many ruffles is conspicuously featured to party-frock styiing this season. The ail-black tulle g«>wn* vies with that of all-white. An effective way to supply color to the black tulle-skirted evening gown Is through a wide crush girdle of soft satin In vivid col ora or pastel shades This usually envelops the hips, until at one side It develops Into a generous graceful drape which drops to achieve the fashionable dipping hemline.

Parasitic Bugs Prey on Moths

One of Most Promising Introduced Lives on Larvae of Gypsy Moth. (Prepared by tbe United States Department oi Agriculture.) In attempting tv tight depredations of the gypsy and brtiwn-tall moths the entomologists of the United Stares Department of Agriculture have been seeking parasitic insects to prey on the moths and reduce their numlters One of the promising introduced para sites, which goes under the name ot Apanteles melanoscelus. lives on the larvue of the gypsy moth. It was dis’ covered that (his parasite produces two generations each year, and with the high rate of multiplication common in insects it was hoped that It might develop as a great check on the moth pest. Parasites on Parasite. A recent report from the bureau of entomology discloses, however, that the parasite Is Itself a prey of para sites whose work combined with other unfavorable factors, is so deadly that some years not more than about 1 tier cent of the second generation' of Apanteles are likelv to produce adults the following spring The parasites on parasites are called hyperparasites, and the studies made of Apanteles melanoscelus have revealed that it has about 35 species or kinds of hyper parasites preying upon it. 14 of which are responsible for about 90 per cent of the total parasitism That these hyperparasites, plus birds and unfavorable weather, do not utterly an nihilate the beneficial Apanteles may be due to the fact that most of these hyperparasites are in turn preyed upon by the parasites of hyperpara sites which the entomologists describe as tertiary parasites A Discriminating Feeder. Apanteles Is a somewhat discriminating feetier and preys on only the gypsy moth and a few other kinds, but the hyperparasites are not so partleu lar and attack many parasitic insects.

ROOT DISEASES AND WRONGS - OF ALFALFA PLANT OUTLINED

Specialist Tells of Ailments in Various Sections. (Prepared by tbe United States Department oi Agriculture.) Root diseases and injuries affecting alfalfa plants in many of the large producing sections of the country are described by J. L. Weimer in Department Circular 425-C, “Observations on Some Alfalfa Root 'Jroubies." is sued by the United States Department of Agriculture. ‘ • .\lr. Weimer does not announce any new discovery but puts on record “what has been seen with the hope that it may be of assistance In ulti niately determining the causes of these alfalfa-root diseases.” He reports on and describes collar rot. tieart rot. hoi low crown, and two less-common root troubles. Collar rot and heart rot are terms selected to designate certain exterior and interior injuries to the root at ami Just below tbe crown ot rhe plant, which the author judges from held observations to be due to a form of winter injury which probably facilitates the development ot fungous growth. The author notes the distinctions between hollow crown and heart rot A fourth type ot damage I: which the root was destroyed several inches below the surface was di ;i ,t by W. I*. Flint, state onto mologist of Illinois, as the work of the clover-n>ot curcullo. Collar rot is the name applied to a flrm, moist, brown decay of the outer

Electricity is Useful in Raising of Poultry Experimental work with electricity in poultry raising “U the experiment?: electric projects al various agricuttu rq' colleges sitows that the use ot elec trie lights In laying houses during the short winter days has been found to result etmslstently in Increased egg pnxlucti-n. says a writer in the Wls consin Agriculturist. r The cost of power for lights and extra feed consumed Is relatively small compared with the increased returns the tost ot installing the lights being the more Important item nf expense Electric brooder? have been found sat isfactory If properly operated Elec trlclty for brooders usually costs more .than oil. hut eliminates much of the labor and most of the hazard. Shed Saves Implements Surveys in several states have indicated that, on the average, the life of Implements may be doubled by storing them under a shed These same twveys also Indicate that the total cost of repairs during the life of an implement is practically the same on the implement that Is keut under a shed as on the Implement that is exposed. In other words. It costs twice a» much per year to keep an Implement to repair If It Is left out In the weather as it does If It Is stored under a shed. Feed Lots Essential The live stock man—in order to ob tain the maximum results from feed tog—must have “feed lots” that are properly equipped. Elaborate high priced equipment la not necessary. If •>ne expects to operate from year to year, more money can be Invested In equipment The first essentia) to sufficient “lot space.” Next comes the question of fences, feed troughs, water troughs, crib space, shelter and condition of teed lots.

A short crop of Apanteles melanoacelus. therefore, does not mean that the number of Its enemies will ’>e reduced cvrres|H>ndingly the fottnwingyear. However, when Apanteles melunoscelus is scarce there Is usually a great reduction in the pumbers of hyperpamsites. A reassuring aspect of the situation is that the Apanteles in its native home is attacked as seriously by hyperparasites as has been the case-in America, but It continuesto survive and at times is one of the predominating enemies of the gypsy moth. There is an Intimate relation between hosts and parasites, hyper and tertiary “and so ad infinitum.” with many factors preventing excessive and hninterupted Increase. Furnish Young Pullets With Comfortable Pens Success with winter egg production is going to depend largely on the quarters tn which the birds are housed, says N It. Mehrlmf. ptmllrytuan for the agricultural ev tension service. Florida College ot Agriculture. Any sudden changt of weather conditions wiil have a direct bearing onsubsequent egg prediction. The young pullets should be prte vided with a house that will keep them comfortable. A contented pul let is a prl>gtabie one. The birds need plenty of ventilation, this making It necessary not to crowcf and also not to make the house too tightly constructed. On the other hand, the birds must not be allowed to roost in drafts A. great percentage of L-olds are brought about by the birds being in drafts or in a too-crowded house Some of the things to consider relative to poultry houses are ventilation, freedom of drafts, dryness, sunlight, convenience. and economy. Look around and see that everything is ready for the pullets about to lay. Egg production this winter means more money for the producer.
