HANDSOME LOUNGING ROBES; FINE FOOTWEAR OF KIDSKIN

SINCE that Innate love for gorgeous fabrics, which is the heritage of normal woman, must so often be suppressed in the workaday world of •slice and schoolroom, the enj »nent of beautiful exotic ap;>arel tn the home, particularly in the boudoir, becomes the more intensified. To those seeking a thrill in the way of transcendently lovely material, a mul-ti-colored and strikingly patterned velvet prim is suggested for the robe of day dreams. Border it with plain, after the manner of the handsome model in the picture. Many there are .who still prefer wrap-around kimono types as here shown. But If you are among those who crave something quite bizarre, make a coolie coat pajama set. Use solid colored velvet for the trousers of

So you and your neighbor have met face to face clad In—was it each in a navy blue ensemble, or was it that you both selected navy blue winter coats or perhaps it was afternoon frocks of navy satin or cloth. It is nut to be wondered at that you both “hit upon’* the same color scheme, for navy blue is as swart as smart can be this seasim. not to mention its universal becotniugaess and charm. Howsomever you find yourself secretly wishing you could outshine your neighlHtr just a little, by individualizing your costume with some outstanding “touch that tells.” Well, here's a friendly tip—buy a pair of super-ex-

Parasites Kill the Corn Borer Pest

Twelve Different Species Have Been Liberated in Infested Fields. (Prepared by the United States Departmeat of Agriculture.) Id fighting a destructive Insect the possibility of using its natural en tales, particularly its parasites, is always given careful attention. Parasites have been used with success in campaigns v against several insect pests, and are being given a very thorough test by the United States Department of Agriculture as a part of its efforts to curb the European corn borer. Progress has been made in establishing a number of foreign parasites, the status of which is discussed In Uircpiar No. 14-C, “Status of Imported Parasites of the European Corn Borer." prepared by D. W. Jones and D. J. Caffrey, entomologists of the department. This circular Is intended to inform corn growers and other interested persons of the principal tacts regarding these imported parasites. Many Kinds of Parasites. Studies were bejjun in Europe by the bureau of entomology in 1919. soon after the coni borer was discovered in the United States, which revealed several kinds of parasites that were helping to reduce the numbers of the pest in that part of the world. After it was determined that none of these parasites could by any chance become harmful to plants, and that they wbuld not attack each other, they were sent to United States and liberated in corn fields where the corn borer was most numerous. To date a total of 1,798,080 imported parasites representing 12 different species have been liberated in infested fields in the United States. Systematic collections and field examina tions in the vicinity of the locations where the parasites were liberated have resulted in the recovery of six species of the parasites under circumstances whifh show that they have become well established and are now at work preying upon the corn borer. Two of these species were recovered in the Middle West in July, 1927. while the other* were found in New England. Not Sure of Effectiveneea. Although efforts are being made to import, breed, and establish parasites of the corn borer in American areas infested by the corn borer. It is by no means certain, says the department, that they will prove to be effective aids in controlling the pest. Judging from the experience with similar parasites imported to aid tn the fight against other foreign plant pests several years may elapse, even with tb« best of success, before any Important effect can be exjwcted. In the meantime every effort should be made to control the corn borer by following clean farm practices and clean cultural methods leading to the destruction or use of all corn residues of the previous year before the corn borers emerge from them as moths in the spring. The details of such practices have been discussed in pre-

HIGHLY RUST RESISTANT WHEAT IS BEING GROWN IN MINNESOTA

Seed Not to Be Distributed Before 1929. Marquillo wheat, the new highly rust-res-istant variety developed by the Minnesota agricultural station will not be distributed before 1929. This annouibvinent Is made by the ! Minnesota station to correct an impression that Has gone abroad in some , quarters that the seed is already be- [ lag distributetl There is available for eeed next 1 year only 123 bushels of this new variety. and othe experiment station staff believes that the best results will be ‘ obtained if this seed is reserved and : again grown on tire ex|»eriment ataI tion farms in W-’S. in order to tmike > sure of the preeervatlou of the seed I stock and of the production of a sutti ; cient quantity of genuine Marquillo wheat to insure wide distribution in ‘ the spring of 1929. There Is iu the ! state no genuine stock of this variety, recognized by expariment station officials. except that in possession of the experiment station. The variety is the result of a cross, made at University farm, between Marquis, the standard bread wheat of the Northwest, and lumilio. a ddxum wheat. It te highly rusvresistaiA and of good milling quality. The alml Is to get it into the hands of carefuH farmers in 1929 to be increased for Tankage and Fertilizer From Offal and Blood Offal and blood which is ordinarily wailed by the farm butcher can be made Into tankage or fertilizer with out touch according to the United States Department of Agricul lure The process is a simple as* The offal and blood can be thorough ly cooked tn an open kettle. After it is cooked it can be dried out and ground as tankage for hogs. This residual tankage will give good results tn feeding as a supplement with corn for hogs. If it is to be used for fertilizer It can be cooked and then ordinary Id per cent acid phosphate can be added at the rate of 33 to 5u pounds of phosphate to 1W pounds Os the cooked offal. This mixture can be air-dried by raking it over occasionally. After it Is thoroughly dried It can be ground and used immediately or stored for future use. The pboapbate will prevent putrefaction and ffles do not breed in the mixture. This usage of the offal leave# only the scueat M. be wasted. ... ' -’f ” v- >J

vious circulars and in other bulletins of the departjuena A copy of this circular may be obtained upon writing to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington. D. C. Machinery Will Reduce Expense of Farm Labor The farmejr who struggles along with poor seed, poor ground and poor equipment is paying for good seed, fertilizer, and good equipment whether he owns them or not. He pays because he cannot compete on even ground with the progressive farmer who uses all the means at his command for increasing his yield and lowering his labor costs by using mechanical helpers. The price he pays' is a smaller income and denial of the things an increased income would buy. Better farm life is the goal ail who are engaged in or truly interested in agriculture. This goal has> been reached by many, others are rapidly achieving it, while far too many think that the future holds nothing in store for them, and use the means within their grasp- Every one wilt agree that thle progress in the development and use of agriculture has been due lu large measure to the development and use of machinery. The very tact that man has beedtne a director of power instead of a source of power baa an uplifting effect on his nature. A real desire for better living is thefirst essential in securing it. Having this desire. ti>e next thing Is to obtain an income large enough to provide it. it is here that proper equipment plays its part by reducing the cost of producing farm .products and by increasing the amount that the Individual worker produces. Manure Best' Reinforced With Acid Phosphate Manure is a great thing tor theland, but it’s a still better thing if reinforced with ayid phosphate. Alone, manure doesn’t make a balanced ration for the trops. Adding acid phosphate to it is like giving a little grain to a cow that's already doing well on clover and silage. It Jumps np the returns to an amount far greater than the cost. Thus, at tpe Ohio station. “The use of 40 pounds of acid phosphate on each of eight h'ads of manure per acre applied ahead of the corn, in a corn, wheat and clover rotation, has increased the corn seven bushels, the wheat five bushels, and the clover onehalf ton ov?r the yields where the same amount of manure but no phosphate was used." If you are top-dressing winter wheat with manure this winter—and that's a good way to use manure—you can begin to cash in right there on the higher valu4 of phosphated manure. Simply spread a half bag of the acid phosphate oyer the top of each load of manure as you drive out to the field. The wheat will say a nice “Thank you,” when It comes to the threshing machine, and so will the two or three erops that follow it.

seed purposes so that the seed may be eertiiied and given wide distribution. Stray Dog Problem Throughout the vear, but in the fall and winter mouths especially, theproblem of preventing live-stock losses through the activities of stray dogs is one that confronts every farmer. TMs problem should be equally as important to the dog owner as to the live-stock owner, and, in fact, should receive more attention, because sheep. ealv**s and hogs are a direct source of income, while dogs, with a few exceptions, are accessories on the farm and not income producers. . <>*<>-<>*<>K Agricultural Notes >. o • OJ?0-»0*-0»0-*011 Do you tike time to exercise your hobby? • • • Buying fe?d right is the first step toward mak ng a dairy pay Many farts jobs can be done in the next few months to relieve the busy calendar of spring. • • • Every farmer should make It a point to visit his -state college of agriculture at least every year or so. • • ♦ Plenty of clean drinking water where cows can get it easily will d“ more than anything else to make them produce all the milk they can.
