Another effect which Is more charming than words can tell Is that of the gay wool yarn embroidery em-broidery on white organdie. Flowers Flow-ers In realistic colors are worked either In borderings or clusterings. It Is a thought which should prove intriguing to the woman who can embroider, and one does not necessarily neces-sarily have to be an expert with the needle, for the work Is quickly and easily accomplished, and best of all. It Is very effective. Among the newest trimming treatments Is one, the Inspiration for which comes from the pictur esque custom which the romantic Hawaiians follow of decorating those who visit their shores as well as themselves on festive occasions with wreaths, leis as the natives call them.

Clapp, Extension Crops Specialist, Kansas State Agricultural Agricul-tural College.) Summer fallow In wheat produc tion acts as a moisture storing measure for the following wheat crop. Winter wheat Is an Ideal crop to follow fallow, for fallowing the ground stores the moisture deeply In the soil and the winter wheat roots have the ability to feed at least six feet deep, which Is almost al-most the possible depth of mois ture, storage with one year of fal low. Summer fallow not only stores moisture but gives an opportunity for the wheat farmer to turn un der the accumulation of straw and thoroughly decay It before the next crop is planted; an -essential practice prac-tice for maintaining soil humus and fertility. A year of fallow will give time for some Insoluble plant foods to change their form, become soluble and available to the plant This Is probably the principal reason for the hold-over effect of fallow that Is indicated so clearly In experimental experi-mental work at the Hays experimental experi-mental station. At this station wheat on early fall listing the third year after fallow has averaged 23.9 bushels, which Is 3.7 bushels more than early fall listing with contin uous wheat .

In the preliminary Investigations Iron and copper were fed once dally, says the Prairie Farmer. We are now told that feeding a pig 150 milligrams of Iron (ferris sulphate) and 25 milligrams of copper (copper (cop-per sulphate) once a week will prevent pre-vent the disease. Druggists can make these -solutions and tell you how much to feed to give each pig the above quantities of the required re-quired minerals. At the Illinois station It has been found that applying a solution containing con-taining Iron and copper to the teats of the sow once daily will prevent the disease. A corn sirup solution made by dissolving 15.7 grams of copper sulphate in a half liter of water, slowly adding with shaking 85.6 grams of powdered ferric cit rate after the solution Is brought to a boil, then adding a pint of corn sirup to the mixture was found especially easy to use. Avoid Egg Eating Vice by Keeping Birds Busy Egg eatlne Is n vice which sel dom develops among birds that are Kept occupied and nave proper feed and range. Often when the birds are confined owing to bad weather, they may become inactive and the trouble starts. The remedy Is to get the birds on range If possible. Supply ample oyster shell and bone, deepen the litter and darken the nests. See that the rations are correct Gather the eggs frequently for a few days. Some recommend the feeding of milk for a few days Anything thafwill get the birds' attention at-tention on other matters will help remedy the situation.
