LATEST IN KNITTED MODES;
VARIETY OF STYLES IN HATS
\X7E ARE so apt to take for granted
’ ^ the good things of life, to accept
them as a matter of course. In regard
to present-day apparel, for instance,
through the knitted arts, what a
wealth of handsome, no less practical
raiment is being lavished on the
world of fashion these days.
No Item written In the book of ex-
quisite costuming is omitted in the
realm of things knitted. Even the del-
icately wrought, gorgeously colored and
deeply fringed Spanish shawl is ex-
wom by everybody else. This fall
these millions of women have but a
single thought and that’s to get a hat
a little different from every one else’s.
There seems to be nothing to stand In
the way of their success, for millinery
this tall presents a wider scope in
styles and greater variety in their in-
terpretations than we have had for
many a,year. *
Velv.et is the most Important me-
dium for winter hats and the group
leads off with two hats covered with

EXQUISITE KNITTED SUIT
(mzm
pressed through the intricacies of
knitted stitch.
Just now interest centers about
beautiful knitted tapestry and brocade
effects, also complicated plaids, checks
and stripes which once were thought
possible to produce only by weaving on
the loom. Jacquard patternings are at-
tracting special style interest such as is
exploited in the exquisite knitted suit
here pictured. Cheery colorings are
decreed for both street and sports ap-
parel this season. This striking jac-
quard pattern is developed in peach
color against a white background. As
an exponent of perfected knitted art,
. this altogether lovely suit ranks with
the highest.
A chic note is Introduced throughout
knitted styling in that solid colored
it. The hat at the left is very simply
trimmed with a big cabochon of satin-
covered cord. Next to it a hat with a
rich feather fancy, made of ostrich
flues, reiterates the harmony of velvet
and ostrich. Below, at the left, a sug-
gestion of the poke bonnet appears in
a wide-brimmed hat of black hatters’
plush, with round crown. A collar of
metallic brocade ribbon and an airy
feather pom-pon adorn it. Next to It
a very popular shape is shown covered
with velvet. The height of the square
crown is apparently lessened by a
band of georgette above one of velvet
which makes a background for a col-
lar of embroidered medallions. A
rosette and sash of georgette are posed
at the left side. The group is finished
with a picturesque and lovely model

WIDE SCOPE IN HAT STYLES
plain stitch garments are embellished
with elaborate jacquard trims, wide
borders being especially favored. Often
the design contrasts; silk or fiber
against a woolen background always
maintaining color blendings as chief
interest. Indeed fanciful knitted trim-
mings are the order of the day. Very
interesting are the remarkable simula-
tions of fur. done in.yarns and zephyrs.
Toward the close of the reign of
the little cloche hat It seemed that
millions of women had but a single
thought, and that was to get a smull,
close-fitting bit of headwear like that
made of corded silk and trimmed at
the front with a huge rosette of rich
satin ribbon having a fancy edge. None
of these hats leave anything to be de-
sired in the fine art of miljinery. Black
and dark brown continue the favorite
colors for hats made of hatters’ plush.
Velvet has an extensive color range,
including black and many shades of
brown, wdth purple, orchid, fuchsia,
light and dark green, strong and soft
blues, the fur and pheasant colors and
tones similar to henna.

Service Publications, A. and M.
College of' Texas.)
Crop Rotation.
The agricultural history of the world
has proved that no system of farm-
ing will continue to be successful when
based upon the one-crop system. The
only possible exception to this is on
low alluvial soil that is replenished
by sediment from overflow or by con-
tinual application of fertilizers.
The direct benefits that are derived
from rotation may be divided under
three heads:.viz., first, the better phy-
sical condition of the soil, and second,
addition of plant food that comes from
legumes and other vegetation put in-
to the soil; third, the elimination or
destruction of diseases and insect pests
peculiar to a certain crop.
Under a permanent system of rota-
tion the soil gets in better physical
condition due to the incorporation of
vegetable matter. This in turn gives
the soil a better water "holding capa-
city, better • aeration and makes the
bacterial action greater,; thus increas-
ing the available plant food. In the
case of cotton, aeration destroys the
fungus growth that causes root rot.
The addition to the soil of straw from
grain, stalks of Ncorn and more es-
pecially legume vines add very materi-
ally to the available plant food in the
soil.
The insects peculiar to a crop gen-
erally pass their larval stage in the
ground. With a rotation of crops where
at least a part of the land is plowed
in the fall, many of the larvae fail
to survive the winter; and those that
do emerge in the spring are so far from
their host plant that many succumb
before reproducing themselves.
The great problem throughout the
black land belt is the checking or elim-
inating of the root rot of cotton. Sev-
eral years more of continued cropping
with cotton and this followed by a
series of wet years wrill make cotton
production unprofitable throughout
the entire black land belt. It has long
been an established fact that this di-
sease does not occur on the loose soil;
but shows up more and more as the
land becomes tighter or as this year,
when the air is excluded from the soil
by excessive moisture.
A series of experiments have been
conducted on the Texas Experiment
Station at Temple. Four years of this
work is reported in bulletin No. 215.
One set of rotations consisted of: One-
fourth land in cotton; one-fourth land
in corn, the soil to be given a very
deep plowing one year in four.
First year—corn. Plant To small
grain in fall.
Second year—small grain. Plant to
cowpeas same week as harvested- Plow
cowpeas under deep before frost.
Third year—cotton.
Fourth year—cowpeas. Plow under
stuble before frost.
Housing Pullets.
October is a good month to ‘house
pullets to start them laying, so as to
get the benefit of high egg prices dur-
ing early winter. The pullets should
start laying from about September
15 to November 15 to get the maximin
return. The ideal time for pullets to
start laying, however, is the latter
part of October, according to special-
ists. This will make them molt about
December 1, which will give the pro-
ducer the high prices for November
eggs.
The pullets which show indications
of laying early in October should be
fed more grain. A mash containing 10
per cent tankage or meat sci’aps in-
stead of 20 per cent usually recom-
mended will prove a good feed pro-
vided milk is being given. For late
hatched pullets fed a moist crumbly
mash once a day and at night give
all the grain they want.
Housing a 1 month before laying
starts, and in houses where there is
sufficient roosting room is import-
ant. The house should be thoroughly
cleaned and disinfected and the pul-
lets should be freed frem external par-
asites by treating them with sodium
fluoride.
The pullets must be fed well to get
the best returns. A good scratch feed
for early winter is a mixture of two
pounds of corn to one pound of wheat,
oats or barley. A good laying mash
is a mixture of bran, 2 pounds, middl-
ings 2, cornmeal 2, and tankage or
meat scraps lVz pounds; feeding about
15 pounds of grain daily for 100 hens.
A liberal supply of oyster shell or
some other adequate material for shell
making should be easy to pick up. A
heavy straw litter in the house in
which the morning feed should be fed
is very advisable. The success of egg
producers rests in their attention to
housing and feeding the pullets in the
fall and winter months to get the max-
imum return from high-priced eggs.
Hints for Farm and Home.
Garden soil will be found in much'
better condition for seeding next
spring if it is plowed this fall.
Scrubs can multiply as fast as pure-
breds—but they never get the right
answer.
The winter mulch for the strawberry
bed should be carefully selected sg
that no weed seeds will be introduced
into the patch.
Salt is essential to all farm animals.
Ordinary barrel salt is the best to
feed for the reason that an animal
may have all salt desired. Salt should
not bo mixed with the feed but should
be fed in a separate feed box. If salt
is mixed with the feed the animal may
get either too much or too little and
suffer as a result. It is not necessary
to buy expensive condiments such ae
the ordinary "stock food," as very few
animals need such a tonie but in case
they do the material can be mixed at
home at a much less cost.
