The sweat shirt dress! I love it.
You will love it. What other gar
ment is there that gives you so
much comfort, easy care, style and
can be whipped up in minutes?
Recently, preparing for a
television show, I made a sweat
shirt top in 28 minutes and a sweat
shirt dress in 46. Think what you
could do in just one day!
Look through the pattern books.
You will find a dozen or more
patterns for the sweat shirt dress.
Each will be a rather loose style
and will seldom feature any
closures or set-in sleeves.
Everything is, easy, easy, easy. Do
check the “fabric suggestions” list
to make sure the pattern you
choose is for sweat shirt fabrics.
When selecting your fabric, go
for quality. There are several
sweat shirt fabrics on the market.
Some are “just fair.” Look for
quality in softness, stretch,
recovery, texture and color.

The rootworm insecticide built
tough enough to last all season
long.
Now there’s BROOT™ from Union Carbide. It’s
the com soil insecticide specially formulated to
deliver the full-season rootworm control you
need for higher com yields.
Down deep, no other rootworm
insecticide looks like
BROOT™...
Unlike conventional soil insecticides, new
BROOT is formulated into unique roll
compacted granules. Together with finely
ground gypsum, the active ingredient in BROOT,
trimethacarb, is blended evenly throughout each
and every granule.
Or works like BROOT™...
Because of this unique formulation, each granule
of BROOT gradually releases its active
ingredient throughout the rootworm season.
So your corn roots stand a better chance of
developing normally.
handles like BROOT™...
advanced formulation also makes BROOT
insecticide easier to handle. It flows
thly and evenly out of the hopper box. And
is not abrasive to your application.

3/8-mch inside the marked cutting
line. This trims all seam
allowances down to 1 4-mch. Do not
cut around notches; mark their
locations with chalk.
For construction use a 1 4-mch
seam and overcast all seam
allowances together. This gives
you a very durable finished seam.
Along shoulder seams stitch in a
length of 1 /4-mch twill tape to
prevent stretching. For wasithne
casing use wide bias tape.
Seldom will you find facings on
sweat shirt dress patterns. Most
raw edges are turned under and
topstitched. Sleeve and skirt hems
are turned up and stitched.
And don’t forget... you must pre
wash and dry your fabric! This is
not negotiable. The fabric is going
to shrink some. Wouldn’t you
rather that happened before you
cut out your garment?

Here’s proof.
Results from performance trials
throughout the Com Belt prove that
BROOT soil insecticide provides the kind
of protection you need for top com yields.
In testing to date, BROOT has been a
consistent performer in terms of root
ratings and yield response. That’s why
BROOT is included in university recom
mendations for effective rootworm con
trol.
So ask your dealer about new BROOT
15GX. He knows that it’s more than just
another rootworm insecticide. And once
you try BROOT, you’ll know it too.

program that they wish to share
with boys and girls 8-19 who are
interested in learning about swine
and beef cattle.
The swine project involves

maximum of four pigs. Animals
are purchased and put on fee »n
