In WOman’s Realm Fall Modes Show a Conservative and Beautifully Tailored Suit That Is Becoming to Both Slender and Stout Figures—Slips of Satin and Taffeta to Be Worn Under Sheer Frocks of Midsummer Wardrobe. SERGE STREET SUIT FOR FALL. The first of the new ready-made suits for fall are making their appear ance before "the trade.” That is, mer chants throughout the country are looking over the sample lines of manu facturers. So far there is little change in the lines of street suits from those of the passing season. Many of the new models show an increased length of skirt, and coats also are somewhat longer. The inspiration of many smart models appears to come from the Rus sian blouse —and this is a matter for gratitude. In the conservative and beautifully tailored suit shown above, a model lias been evolved that is becoming to botli slender and stout figures. The coat Is neatly adjusted over the shoulders and vague in fit about the waistline with a full and long peplum. A very clever management of the underarm portion gives a trim look to the fig ure. The sleeves are plain and long. The skirt is plain with overlapped seam at the front and plaits at each side. It is strictly tailored with fault less machine stitching as a finish. In harmony with it are the plain belt at back and front of the waistline and the large bone buttons that fasten the coat. Smaller buttons of the same kind are set in a row of four on each cuff. Serge is the favorite material for fall suits although the other stand ard weaves of cloth are not neglect ed. Except for the velvet turn over on the collar it is the only fab ric used in the suit shown. There is a surmise that skirts may be narrower as the season grows older, but ho one PETTICOATS FOR SHEER FROCK. knows. A conservative suit like that above need not concern itself in the matter. There are slips of satin and taffeta — both washable —to be worn under the sheer frocks that form so important a part of the midsummer wardrobe. But many women prefer slips or petticoats of muslin, that are exquisitely clean and fresh-looking with each return from the laundry. They are thin enough to be cool and thick enough to provide sufficient covering. Sometimes a plain petticoat or slip of net is worn over them, if the frock is sheer enough to be transparent. This is merely by way of making an airy background for lingerie or other gauzy dresses. The newest petticoats are cut mod erately wide in three or four gores shaped so that there will be little full ness about the waist They are fin ished with flounces not too much trimmed with embroidery or lace. In many of them, as in the two pictured above, the flounces are made of batiste, cambric, organdie or other thin cotton and shaped with a flare, so that their fullness is managed in the shaping rather than by gathers. These flounces are edged with embroidery or lace and joined to the petticoat with wide bead ing' in the usual way. The beading carries the indispensible ribbon which has come to stay and adds so much of charm to the lingerie of today. Underneath the flounces the bottom of the petticoat is finished with a plain or scalloped ruffle or with lace inser tions and edgings. They are gathered o-er a tape at the waist. In finishing the flounce with lace the edge is cut in scallops and turned under in a very narrow hem which is stitched down over tlie lace edging as shown in the petticoat at the right. But where a scalloped embroidery is used the scal lops are cut out, leaving a little of the plain material to turn under. This edge is then basted to the edge of the shaped flounce and stitched down, after which the flounce is trimmed away from under the scallops. New Developments in Tucks. Crepe and chiffon blouses being de signed for the autumn openings are being tucked crosswise back and front and on the insides of the sleeves. This gives a becoming fullness across the bust and provides quite a novel out line for long sleeves. Smart Riding Costumes. Very smart women are wearing for riding, black and white checked trou- sers with black coats, and occasionally one is seen in white trousers with a black and white shepherd’s-plaid coat having a bright red vest. Wide Fringes Used. Fringe trimmed parasols are being shown among the new things for spring, the fringe being of silk or worsted, fully four inches wide and in matching or brilliantly contrasting colors. Efficacious Massage. Massage to be efficacious, must be gentle, firm, regular and accomplished with a rotary upward motion of the finger tips, except about the eyes. In middle life, massage must also be ac complished with a lump of Ice Hot Weather Help. Hand-painted fans are in vogue for tlie hot days. They are huge pointed affairs of dyed palm leaves, with a futuristic design of apples or flower or birds or just plain futurism co th. outside. THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE, DOUGLAS, GEORGIA. MUCH DAMAGE TO COON ND[COTTON i.arvae of Beetles Feed on Un derground Stems of Plants. WIREWORM AND ITS CONTROL Several Hundred Kinds of Beetles Found in Nearly All Parts of United States—Many Are Very Destructive. (By EDMUND H. GIBSON.) The injury by the corn and cotton (vi re worms is caused by the feeding of the wormlike young or larvae of slen der beetles, known as “click beetles” or “snapping beetles,” upon the roots, sprouts and underground stems of plants, w'hich are thereby weakened and stunted or killed. These wireworms have been known to totally destroy corn throughout fields of large acreage. However, this ‘s not usually the case and the attack is most frequently concentrated in "spots” scattered throughout the field, the plants in these spots being wholly destroyed. In other parts of the field there may be slight injury as shown by the dwarfed appearance of the plants, which may later produce 50 per cent or more of a normal yield. The wireworms are ravenous feed ers, often cutting off all the roots of a plant. They are especially destructive during the two months before they transform to adults. A single half grown wireworm is capable of killing a young corn sprout and severely in juring a plant from six to eight Inches in height. Therefore it can be seen that when there is a concentrated at tack by many wireworms in one hill the plants have but small chance of surviving. The parent of the corn and cotton wireworm is a small dark brown click beetle, or “snapping-beetle,” measur ing about one-fourth of an inch in length. The young wireworms, or lar vae, after hatching from the eggs are minute, measuring from an eighth to three-sixteenths of an inch in length. All stages of the insect are spent in the ground except the adult or beetle, which only enters it at the time of egg deposition. Reports show that the corn and cot ton wireworm has been destructive in the Carolinas, Illinois, Missouri, Ar kansas and Mississippi. This would indicate a wide distribution, probably a wider one than the mere records re veal, and it is possible that the species may occur throughout the entire east ern half of the United States. Its oc currence is closely related to the dis tribution of soils of light, sandy type, as it is known that the immature stages exist only in such soils. Oeea ionally an adult has been collected iveral miles from sandy locations, but Corn and Cotton Wireworm—a, Adult Beetle; b, Larva. its presence there was more than like ly due to its own flight from the field of its origin. In some localities this species is referred to as the “sandy spot wireworm.” Corn plants infested by this wire worm become wilted and stunted, with leaves of a bluish shade, brown at ihe tips, which stand out from the stalks stiffly instead of bending over grace fully as in a healthy plant. Deprived of most of the roots through the work of the larvae of this wireworm, the plant can be pulled up with little ef fort. Weak plants soon succumb, leav ing gaps in the rows, but the more vig orous plants put forth new roots in abnormal numbers. These are matted together and distorted, and although the plants survive, only “nubbins” are produced. The infestation is not con fined to the impoverished areas, for there may be larvae among the roots of tall and apparently healthy plants. Rolling hind infested by this >useet presents a patchy appearance, the sandy knolls standing out distinct und bare, <ilthou b h overgrown later with weeds, particularly crab grass, briers and morning glories. For a long time there was a theory among farmers that lightning caused the injury to corn which is now rightly attributed to this wireworm. In the case of eoivpeas, the fibrous roots suffer most, the thicker roots be ing perforated, so that the plants be come yellow and dwarfed, and fail to vine. Cotton is injured in the early stages by larvae boring into the seed and in juring the very young plants, checking the growth so much that the plant dies or struggles along only to produce lit tle or no cotton. Beetles of the corn and cotton wire worm are abroad in the fields from early June until .the last of August. The eggs, which are laid in groups of from three to twenty in the soil about the roots of corn, cowpeas and other food plants, are deposited, for the most part, during lute June and July. These hatch in from eight to eleven days into the young wireworms or lar vae, which immediately commence feeding upon the roots. Each full grown larva constructs a small earth en cell in the soil a.ad in this it changes to a pupa. The pupal stage averages 12 days in length and during this time the pupa is almost motion less apd takes no food. After this it transforms to the adult or beetle. The larvae, or wireworms, feed upon the roots of their food plants through out the summer months and up to about the first of October, and during this time are found within 18 Inches of the surface of the ground, the depth depending upon the moisture content of the top soil. During a hot, dry spell the wireworms remain from 12 to 18 inches below the surface, but nfter a rain they can be found within two inches of the surface. With the approach of cold weather they begin a general downward move- Larvae Likely to Be Mistaken for Whiteworms— a, False Wireworm; b, Mealworm; c, Thousand Legger. ment, which accounts for the farmer’s inability to locate them during the late fall and winter months. They have been found in the sand at the remark able depth of five feet. From these facts it will be seen that fall or winter plowing would be useless as a control or remedial measure. As soon as winter breaks up, the lar vae gradually make their way to with in two to three feet of the surface. By the middle of April they are numerous within six inches of the surface of the ground. From the time the larvae travel downward in the fall until they return to the top soil they eat prac tically nothing. In laboratory experi ments, larvae remained alive and healthy in cages of moist pure sand, without organic food, for six months. Late fall and winter plowing as a method of reducing the numbers of the pest by turning up and exposing the larvae to the elements is of no value, as the wireworms are at this time at such depths in the soil that they would not be disturbed by the plowing. Plowing or cultivating for this purpose at other times of the year is of little avail, as the wireworms are so quick of movement that almost as soon as exposed they are ugain hidden in the loosened soil. Even chickens or turkeys are not sufficiently alert to catch many. Any system of crop rotation after harvesting the corn may be carried out, and a winter cover crop such as wheat or rye is advised. Pasturing this during winter months and turning it under in the spring is very benefi cial, since humus is thus added and the sandy soil is thereby stiffened. An infested field should not be planted to corn two years in succession. If a catch crop of red clover can be obtained it is an excellent one to come in the rotation for two or three years. Such combinations as wheat and clo ver not only afford two crops a year from the same field, but also permit the soil to remain undisturbed during the period when the female beetles are laying their eggs. The manuring of infested areas has long been recommended as the best control measure. The theory was ad vanced, especially by some farmers, that the manure turned under is ac tually distasteful to the larvae and kills them outright. Although this is not the case, nevertheless the turning under of manure and cover crops has the effect of adding humus to the top soil; and, as it is known that the lar vae cannot long survive except in sandy soils, it is well to spread as much manure as possible on infested areas and to turn it under. If it were practicable to allow the infested fields to lie idle, or “lay out,” as it is termed, for a period of three years, this would no doubt prove the most effective means of getting rid of the pest, since by leaving the ground undisturbed a crust would he formed on the surface through which the ma jority of adult wireworms could not emerge. It would also serve to pre vent the few emerging adults, as well as those flying in from other fields, from entering the soil for egg deposi tion. However, this practice naturally will not often appeal to the farmer. CALOMEL H BILIOUS? 1 STOP!
