rials and shadings this year that will
beautify many of the women who will
wear the models, and the effects in
gowns, wraps and millinery are flat
tering rather than trying.
It has been quite impossible to
Ignore the importance of colors in the
new styles. They are definite and
striking, but artistically so. As if em
blematic of the season, green is hav
ing a vogue. The demand for it is
evident when several of the leading
fashion authorities in this part of the
world present their newest and choic
est Importations of frocks in some
shade of green in the proportion of
three out of five.
From the Empire green seen in the
old brocades and velvets of royalty,
to the most delicate sen green, or the
freshest apple green, silks, satins,
crepes and tulles are shown In the
fashionable costumes In every variant
for every possible occasion.
Yellow Popular Color.
Next in popularity to the greens is
yellow. There are oriole yellow, jon
quil, burnt orange, cornsilk, marigold
and the shade for which Paris has
found a name supposedly fitting—
“banane.” It is not really like the
color of a banana, but an intense,
clear canary that simply glows as
one’s eyes rest upon it.
A Parisian couturiere has created a
frock of tills bnnane in satin, with a
long trailing scarf of line chiffon In
a somewhat lighter shade.
Tiie beauty of this new shade of
yellow, however misnamed, is Illus
trated in some afternoon and evening
gowns presented by a smart New York
house. One gown of erepe satin Is
made simply, with a tendency to the
Greek lines in the drapery, opening
on a petticoat of heavier satin, and
with a tracery of silver embroidery
on the bodice and down the sides of
the overskirt as it opens from the
front. The combination of the yellow
and silver is the loveliest thing one
can fancy.
The same shade is shown in nn
evening wrap of velvet with deep cape
collar of silver lace and bands of
black fox fur.
Yellows in many different shades
are shown in the alpacas, linens, flan
nels and heavy cotton fabrics for
sports clothes, and in many of the Im
ported materials intended to be used
in establishing the inodes for summer.
Lanvin, whose evening gowns are
most sumptuous, emphasizes yellow
in some of his handsomest gowns and
wraps, and trims lavishly with silver
and gilt and furs —vison and hare,
and marabout. His day-time gowns
are much less elaborate, and so are
his suits for street and morning wear
The next most conspicuously fash
ionable note In color is black ou
white, or white on black, in every
conceivable mood and tense. The
black and white vogue has been In
creasing since the first advance spring
styles from anywhere and everywhere
were displayed, nnd now some of the
most swagger styles by leading artists
are developed in tills combination.
Worth leads the way In these, with
some costumes of great distinction. A
f .vorite model Is made of blnck net
and Chantilly lace over white satin,
with a sharp defining motif of black
velvet and silver in the girdle.
From this same authority Is shown,
too, nn evening wrap of cloth of silver
■nppliqued with a bold conventionalized
pattern of flowers and leaves in black
velvet, lined with a white satin of bril
liant sheen.
In another, n more simple dinner
gown of lustrous satin, black is draped
over a slip of heavy white, slashed
from the arms to the hem at the sides
with ornaments of Jet.

The fascination of the new styles,
added to the beauty of color, is in

to one’s feeling for comfort. None of
the rough, warm looking, muddy col

THE BIRTHDAY PARTY
Winnie was seven years old and she
had six of her friends at her birthday
party.
That made seven in all, and of
course, seven sat down at the table,
nnd seven played the games, and there
were seven candles ou the cake.
That is—there were seven little can
dles on the cake. There was one big
candle in the center. The candles
were yellow, for yellow was Winnie’s
favorite color.
And the cake was decorated with
white and yellow icing. There were
little flowers of yellow upon it, and
everyone at the table laid a yellow
paper cap to wear.
There were yellow daffodils upon
the table too, und Winnie wore a yel
low dress.
When the cake was put in front of
Winnie everyone made wishes and
blew out the candles. Then the great
big candle was put into a big crust
cf bread and that crust of bread was
upon a plate right in front of Winnie
and along side of the cake.
For Winnie had been told an old
Story of the good luck that came if
She Curled Up in Her Mother's Lap.
anyone kept the center candle of a
cake —the candle one was to “grow on”
burning until it burnt quite out.
That meant that anyone would have
a long life and 1 nts of luck.
So the candle burnt steadily nil
through the supper party, and even
when they were all through it was
Still burning down.
Of course it was not an enormous
candle, and after a little while it was
all burnt cut—all of its own accord—
and that meant Winnie was to have
good luck and long life.
Everyone cheered just as the candle
flicked out after it laid burned down
by itself steadily.
It was fun, Winnie thought, to make
wishes like that and do little special
tilings like that.
Of course she knew the candle’s
burning wouldn’t really be responsible
for her good luck to come, but the
wishing ami the fun of all this made f.
purty so nice—particularly a birthday
party.
In the cake were all sorts of little
tilings and they were ail wrapped up
In tissue paper and made quite good
sized little packages.
The minute you had a piece of cake
you could see whether there was any
thing in it or not.
There was a button In the cake and
a ring and a 10-cent piece and a little
silver wish bone and a little silver bell
and a little silver toy dog.
There was also a little silver cat.
And, as luck would have it, each one
got a prize.
After the supper was over and the
ice cream and the cake and the can
dies had been eaten they all danced
and played games.
They had a splendid time and it was
hard for the guests to go home, and
hurd for Winnie to see them go.
After they had left she curled up in
her mother's lap and said:
“Oh, dear, I almost wish I could he
seven years old on my next birthday,
too, us I never had so much fun at any
of my parties as I’ve had at this one.”
Hut that was a wish Winnie knew
she could not have come true.
For next year it would be her eighth
birthday. There would be no changing
of that!
Heavy Consumers of Fish
That the people of Massachusetts
are tiie champion fish eaters of the
country is Indicated by figures which
show that 50 per cent of all the fish
landed at Boston, which is the largest

consumed in the Bay state.

Durum Wheat Not
in Good Demand
Farmers Are Being Urged to
Meet Needs of Domestic
Market for Grain.
(Prepared by the United Statea Department
of Agriculture.)
Because the foreign demand for
durum wheat is falling off and the do
mestic demand is on tiie increase,
farmers arc urged by the United States
Department of Agriculture to modify
their durum-wheat production to fit
tiie needs of tiie domestic market. It
appears that utmost half of the durum
wheat offered on tiie market during
1912, 1920, and 1921 contained over
10 per cent of wheat of other classes,
and was graded ns mixed wheat. Firms
engaged in the milling of durum wheat
find It difficult to obtain sufficient pure
durum wheat of high quality.
Certain durum wheats, chief among
which is the Pentad or red durum vari
ety, have been grown quite extensive
ly, and while absorbed on the foreign
market should be discontinued nnd re
placed with varieties suited to do
mestic milling for mucnronl manufac
ture. Two varieties of amber durum,
the Acme nnd Monad, also are not
desired by the domestic trade because
of the grayish color of macaroni
they make.
Choice of Varieties.
When making a change of seed,
careful consideration should be given
the choice of varieties to he used.
The Kubanka is the best-adapted vari
ety for all tiie varying conditions in
the durum-wheat sections. It is a
high-yielding wheat, considerably re
sistant to rust, of good milling qual
ity, and well liked for the manufac
ture of macaroni, the principal use of
durum flour. The new Nodak variety
recently developed In North Dakota
ns a selection from Kubanka is a dis
tinct pure strain of that variety, which
Is equal or superior to it In yield, rust
resistance, nnd macaroni-making qual
ities. Other durum varieties have been
found more productive than Kubanka
in certain sections. Mlndum Is the
best-yielding variety of durum in Min
nesota. It Is about as resistant to
rust as Kubanka and makes macaroni
of excellent light yellow color. Pellss
Is the best-yielding variety In the
higher and dryer sections of Montana
nnd Wyoming, where dust does not oc
“BAD LUCK” IN SWINE RAISING
IS BEATEN BY NEW PLAN
Pays to Raise Pigs in Clean
Surroundings.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Thirteen farmers of Henry county,
Illinois, testify that they have beaten
“bad luck” with hogs by raising their
pigs according to a plan Hint prevents
infection by roundworms nnd filth
borne diseases. A printed leaflet,
based on letters from farmers Indors
ing the McLean county system of
swine sanitation recently circulated by
the Henry County Farm bureau, gives
convincing evidence that It pays to
raise pigs In clean surroundings.
This system, as developed by the
United States Department of Agricul
ture, calls for the cleaning of brood
sows and placing them In disinfected
pens at farrowing time. Tills is to
prevent the newly-born pigs from com

Then, by keeping the growing pigs
on clean pasture protected from ex

Take Every Precaution
to Guard Against Worms
If the farrowing pen or house is
thoroughly cleaned with sculdlng hot
lye water, then disinfected, nnd the
sow, especially her udder, Is washed
with strong sonp suds before being
placed In the farrowing house, the
little pigs will start life without pick
ing up worm eggs that cause so much
logs each year. If those precautions
have not been followed It will be nec
essary to worm the pigs Inter. This Is
worthwhile, but much more expensive
and less satisfactory than preventing
worms. The most reliable of alt worm
remedies consists of five grains of cal
omel and eight grains of santonin per
100 pounds of live weight. Keep pigs
off feed for 12 to 24 hours and mix
these drugs carefully and thoroughly
in a thick slop. Use every possible pre
caution to Insure each pig getting an
equul share.
Whitewash Does Good

Nodak Variety Promising.
In order to meet the requirements ol
the domestic market, durum-wheat
growers should obtain and mnintan
purer and better seed and replace th

with other rust-resistant varieties ai
soon as possible. For this purpost
the Nodak appears the most promts

Use of Fertilizers Aids
Apple Growing in Ohio
The use of high nitrogenous fer
tllizers, according to the Ohio Expert
ment station, on the hilly lands o(
southern Ohio has practically revolu
tionized the apple growing industry of
that section.
While fruit In order to grow and
produce vigorously, must have access
to libernl supplies of nmmonin phos
phorlc acid nnd potash, It Is the first
mentioned plant food that most often
Is lacking and needs to be furnished
in liberal quantities. The importnnw
of attending to this need properly 1*
indicated by the fact that upon am
monin depends the condition of the
foliage, the vigor of twig growth, and
the formation of fruit buds.
In the sections of Ohio mentioned,
the application of nmmonin fertilizer!
has doubled nnd trebled the yield ol
fruit. Ordinarily the fertilizer Is sent
tered on the ground under the outfei
ends of the brnnehes at the rate ol
three or four ounces for each year ol
the tree’s age.

Excellent Stock Pasture
Outs and sweet clover make excel
lent pasture for cattle and sheep. Sow
a bushel of oats and ten pounds ol
scarified sweet clover seed to each
acre of land. Give them hotfi a good
chance to get a start before pasturing
them. Do not turn stock In on the
pasture when It Is muddy or soft. If
the animals eat the oats down closely,
take them off for u week or two to
give the sweet clover a chance.
