mer wear lias been an Incentive for
[lie foremost designers to create this
season an infinite variety of intriguing
models. They are divided roughly into
two classifications —for the active and
the inactive sportswoman. Under the
Brst we find the severely simple, Eng
lish type of thing, cut correctly for the
sport at which olfe wears it. Conven
tional riding habits, polo costumes, in
tricate ensembles for climbing and fish
ing, all are necessities for the active
woman. But they admit of little imagi
nation in the planning. They must be
purchased at a smart shop, where the
correct tiling is sure to be had. Cos
tumes for golf or tennis may, of
course, be varied, possess individuality
and still be very smart. For the so
called inactive sportswoman (and this
includes practically everyone on some
occasion) there is everything from the
Inevitable sweater and skirt to fas
cinating costumes of embroidered or
printed silk and knitted frocks with
long wraps to match, trimmed with
fur.
Demand for Plaiting.
The foundation of a great many of
this season’s sports frocks Is a plaited
sl 'irt. This may be crepe, georgette,
eatm, or alpaca, twill or light woolen.
Knife or accordion or box plaiting—
any possible arrangement of plaits—is
c ‘ic. Just to achieve that graceful,
straight, yet flowing silhouette that

only a plaited skirt can achieve Is the
thing to strive for. And they are worn
quite short, these youthful skirts, so
that hose and smart footwear must re
ceive due attention.
The blouses, jucquettes, sweaters and
short coats worn atop the skirts are to
be found in the shops in a profusion of
charming designs, yet the smartest ones
are so simple that the clever needle
woman will find it easy to make them
herself. The possibilities for numerous
changes with one or two skirts as a
basis are limitless. For example, one
woman’s sports wardrobe was built
around a heavy, gray crepe, knife
plaited skirt. A hip-length jacquette
blouse or printed crepe In a beauti
ful design of crimson, blue and gray,
worn with a gray felt cloche, was one
stunning costume. Over this very often
was worn a short box coat of a loosely
woven summer woolen material. This
completed what might almost be called
a “costume” sports suit. A lovely
lemon yellow slip-on sweater and a
darker gray, checked, sleeveless coat
sweater formed still other variations
with the same plaited skirt.
The new sports shirts are notable
this season. They are generally of a
good quality of crepe or radium silk,
and are tailored much as the shirt
waists of old were, but they are fin
ished at the lower edge with a wide
band, which fits down over the skirt,
well onto the hips. This is a feature
which will appeal to every woman who
knows the annoyance of blouses that
refuse to stay tucked into the top of
the skirt. These skirts are primarily
designed for golf or tennis and are
worn over a plaited or wrap-around
skirt and a sleeveless sweater.
Sweaters on Coat Lines.
The new sweaters, often sleeveless
this season, are cut on coat lines. A
novel note just introduced is the com
bination of a plain back with a checked
front. This idea is carried out also,
using a Batik or tie-dyed effect for the
front with a plain, harmonizing back.
Itenorts from the smart country clubs
indicate that the neutral or at least
the less vivid colors prevail. Beige,
gray, and blue are more popular than
the loud blazer effects of last year.
Pages could be written about the
charm of the one-piece frocks which
fall under the heading of sports
clothes. They are preferably knitted
in a variety of weaves, weights and
materials. Silk, wool, silk and wool
are all equally smart. Often they are
figured or patterned to adhere to the
tremendous vogue for printed stuffs.
They are straight chemise frocks after
the Chanel models, but they are very
apt to have plaits on one hip or both;
indeed, by their plaits you know this
year’s chemise frock from last. Next
in fuvor are the crepes. Crepe de
chine, canton and satin are used ex
tensively for simple frocks, often
trimmed only with hemstitching and
an embroidered monogram. There are
also some very good looking cottons on
the market, woven heavily in two har
monious colors —gray and orange or
blue and green—so that the result is a
charming changeable effect, and the
texture simulates the more expensive
knitted materials.
Those dresses with plaltings over one
hip only accentuate the cleverness of
the simple line. They give room
aplenty for walking and moving about
in any way that sports or every-day
wear demands, and they preserve that
untrimmed effect which is so much
the secret of the dress. One of them
is made of that heavy silk knitted
fabric in black and white that Incor
porates a brocaded design in the weav
ing, with a resulting fabric that is
heavy enough to maintuin straightness
of line and flutness of appearance with
out the slightest interruption.

The handsomest of them are of
brushed wool, hand-knitted, in loose
stitches. Hut then there are others,
made from woolly cloths, and they are

with silk braids or ribbons. One of
them particularly was made from one
of these materials in camel’s hair
coloring and was bound with a deep
henna shade of grosgraln ribbon.
Black Hats in Favor.

colors. Nothing is more effective, of
course, than black with sand tones.

beige and black ribbon.

GOLOENROD GLORY
“Of course,” said the first Golden*
rod, “we don’t like It when we make
people sneeze. We don’t mean to do
>O, but we do know of some people
who sneeze because of us and because;
of hay and because of roses when
they’re first blooming about June.
“None of us want to do anything*
that Is unkind, but it isn't really our'
fault.
“And we hope that there are very
few who sneeze because of us. We feel
sure that people know that this is what
we hope,"
“I think they must know that,” said
the second Goldenrod. “You know I
feel most uncomfortable if any one
sneezes. I’m not afraid of catching
cold, though I have heard it said that
colds are catching.
"I don’t think Goldenrods are ‘sub
ject’ to colds, as they suy. I don’t
thipk so.”
“We can’t be,” said the third Gold
enrod, "for we never have colds. Any
way, I wouldn’t chase one. I stay in
the same place. I won’t catch any
thing— not even n cold. Nor would I
catch anything else.”
“But,” said the second Goldenrod,
“when people speak of catching colds
they do not menu that they go chasing
after them. They mean that the cold
is caught by them without their knowl
edge and without their approdval.
“No one seems to approve of a
cold.
“But what pleased me so much was
to hear someone the other day speak
of us in so kind and lovely a fashion.
“This person, a little girl, by the
way, loves Golderfrods. And she said:
‘Oh, look at the Goldenrod glory.’
“She meant that we were so glori
ous looking. Wasn’t that nice?”
And all the Goldenrods nodded their
heads and said: “That was wonder
ful ! Our bright golden flowers will
look even brighter and gayer and more
golden now, if that Is possible.”
“I do not see how we can help but
be golden and sunny and bright when
we come in the summer time, when the
sun is so warm and when the country
is so beautiful,” said the first Golden
rod.
“I am hoping,” said the second
Goldenrod, “that she will come back
and pick some of us Inter. She said
she thought she would, and that would
“I Do Lovo Qoldenrode."
be so nice. We love to be enjoyed und
she said we would make such a mag
nificent bouquet for the front hall in
her home."
"Oh,” said the first Goldenrod,
“there are many of us. There are the
Bushy Goldenrod cousins, also called
the Flat-topped Goldenrods. They
have clusters of flowers ut the top of
their stems, and there are the Wreath
Goldenrods. They love the woods.
"We have cousins known as the Sea
side Goldenrod cousins, and they live
in seashore places, of course!
“We have cousins with great, broad
leaves, and their family name is Broad-
Leaved Goldenrods. And we have
cousins known as White or Pale Gold
enrods, and they are very easy to know
by their name. There are the Rock
Goldenrod cousins, very bushy in ap
pearance.
‘‘But we’re the Downy Goldenrods,
and we’re tall and golden and our flow
ers grow along our stems. We like
the sandy places best in which to live.
Oh, and we have more cousins, too!
We’re u big family.”
And then the second Goldenrod
spoke, and all the others grew very
much excited, for the second Golden
rod said: “There comes the little girl,
now', and she is going to pick us, and
we will make a fine hunch of flowers.”
They thought it would be splendid
to be picked by the little girl, and they
promised each other that they’d last a
long time if given fresh water each
day.
And while the little girl picked the
Goldenrods, they waved about, whis
pering of the Joy it was to be a bright,
gay Goldenrod flower. And the little
girl kept saying over and over:
“Oh, bow I do love Goldenrods!”
Potato Varieties
Free From Wart
Tests Show That American
Species May Be Planted
in Infested Areas.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture )
It is now well established that po
tato culture need nowhere be aban
doned on account of the prevalence of
potato-wart disease, so long as suit
able immune varieties are available,
according to tho United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Co-operative
tests conducted by the department
have shown that there are a number
of American varieties of potatoes
which are Immune from the disease
and may safely be planted in Infested
areas. The results of these tests, cov
ering a period of from one to four
years, are discussed in Department
Bulletin 115 C Just published and now
ready for distribution.
Immune Varieties.
A few of the principal varieties
which have proved to be immune are
Early Eureka, Early Petoskey, First
Early, Cordon's Early Snowflake,
Flourball and Irish Cobbler, belonging
to the Cobbler group; Early Harvest,
Ehnola, Extra Early Sunlight, and
Whito Albino of the Early Michigan
group; Spaulding Rose, of the Rose
group; Burbank, of the Burbank
group; Bountiful, Delaware, Gold
Coin, Green Mountain, Green Mountain
Junior, Idaho Rural, McGregor, Mc-
Kinley, and Norcross of the Green
Mountain group, as well as a number
of others.
Quarantine Policy.
The use of wart-immune varieties of
potatoes was adopted as a quarantine
policy In 1920, the disease first having
made its appearance in this country
in 1918. Asa preliminary step in tills
direction all owners of gardens and
fields actually infested with potato
wart were permitted to grow only
wart-immune varieties. The particular
variety selected for this purpose was
Spaulding Rose, which is a potato of
good commercial quality and in addi

PREMIUM MONEY FOR NEW SEED
Number of Desirable Crops

Easily Digested Feeds
Are Suitable for Ducks
To he suitable for ducks, food must
be soft and easily digestible, such as
meals, grasses, vegetables, and small
scraps of meat, because ducks do not
have crops like fowls, and the. food
passes directly froip.the mouth through
the gullet into the gizzard. If ducks
are compelled io eat many whole
grains or hard foods of any kind tliey
will not be able to get the nourishment
they require for rapid growth. Young
ducklings especially must have soft
and easily digested food, as they grow
almost three times as fast as chicks,
and If they fail to get the proper nour
ishment tliey will not grow ns they
should. If the fields over which tliey
are allowed to wander have streams
intersecting them, they will probably
get enough green food on the range
to satisfy their wants. Where the
range is deficient in green food or
where they cannot be allowed a great
deal of freedom, ducks should be fed
ample quantities of clover, alfalfa,
fresh grass, and similar foods. These
foods should always be run through a

It Pays to Dehorn All
Stock Before Marketing
Dehorned steers or heifers not oofly
can be handled more conveniently om
the farm than cattle with horns, bot If
put on the market either as tfndt
calves, feeders, or finished fat cattl*
will sell for an average of one-haif coo*
a pound more. This statement I*
made by W. 11. Peters of the aniomA
husbandry division at University
who says further:
“The best time to dehorn Is whem
the calf Is from ten days to one month
old. The horns can then be easily
killed, and with very little convem
ienco to the calf, by rubbing them whh
a stick of caustic potash until thoy
show a red surface. The caustic atkh
should be dampened on the end wbe*
rubbing the horn and should be held
with a cloth about it or with an
glove on tlie hand. One application
will suffice on the younger calves, bat
after calves are a month old It may bm
necessary to make two or even tbaeai
applications. Yearling cattle earn gen
erally bo dehorned with safety at this
time of year. A dehorning clipper cam
be used.”
Mr. Peters warns that purebred cat
tle should not be dehorned. The shape,
size, quality, and position of the homo
are characteristic of certain breeds and
naturally have a bearing on the selling:
value. On that account, says Ur.
Peters, breeders discriminate severely
against purebred cattle when they
have been dehorned.
