It’s a lucky child whose mether
adds to his winter wardrobe by
making something “Just right" from
the- unused garment of an older
member of the family. There's more
to making over grown-ups' clothes
for youngsters than Just cubing
them down to child-size, says Miss
Jewell Hipp, County Home Demon-
stration Agent for Coleman County.
Fabrics adults wear, she says may
be so heavy they will burden a small
child. If the material Is not light
nough In weight to be comfort-
able, use It for some other pur-
pose, Avoid stripes, plaids, and
prints that are too big fer the child.
Grown-ups sometimes wear drab
colors, but children like gaiety. Al-
so, there's a safety factor to con-
sider—a child's bright clothes may
;ive the first signal to a motorist,
or. In rural sections, to a hunter
3o. when the. main part cf an Out-
fit must be of a dull, uninteresting
fabric, try adding bright trim or
accessories. Dress up a little girl's
black or gray coat with a red collar
or a plaid ascot tie Or complete thr
picture with a red cap or mittens
Add festive embroidery or pretty
but to '.s to .1 dark dress.
Dye woolens or rayens that are
too pale to be practical for a child
sure to follow directions print-
ed on dye boxes exactly, so as not
to shrink the material.
When planning a make-over. Mis.;
Hipp says consult the youngster
Who is getnf to wear it-and make
sure it hits the spot. Think of the
grownups who have none too fond
memories ’ of the make-overs they
had to wear. Most times, .too, its
just the little tilings that make
clothes acceptable to children.

The true borer, or base borer, is
the lad to watch for, Gregg says It
works underneath the bark of the!
tree just above or below the ground j
line If it Is not controlled it will;
weaken a tree and prepare It for!
attacks by other destructive para- j
sites.
Control may be obtained by ap- !
plying PDB crystals around a tree I
after removing weeds and grass j
fer a distance of 18 Inches from :
the trunk Dosages are one half j
ounce of crystals for a tree under j
three years of age; three-quar- j
i tens ounce for a tree Just coming j
I j into bearing: one ounce tor a bear- I
' Ing or mature tree, and one and j
one half ounce for an old or large j
tree. Treat only thoffc showing signs j
of borer damage.
The crystals arc applied In a
circle one Inch wide and one and
one half or two Inches from the j
tree trunk If the borer's entrance
hole is above the ground, build a
dirt mount around the tree so that
the crystals will be placed above It.
After the crystals are applied to
the soil cover them with a few
shovelsfui of dirt and pack it down
After about 30 days, remove the
mound with the crystals to prevent
damage to the trees.
