BRIGHT COLORS IN
FAVOR FOR WINTER
Fashion has come out for color for
winter wear-—gay, vivid, brilliant
colors, with red predominating. All
shades of red from the rust and tan-
gerine shades to geranium, cerise,
apple red, a shade that used to be
called American beauty, and down to
the wine colors. Purple, also, Is very
smart. There are bright greens and
soft greens. Blue is insistent and very
bright. A blue which used to be royal
blue now has a counterpart In banner
blue,
These colors are seen In all types
of dresses, beginning with the tallored
dress with long sleeves to wear with
the street coat. Afternoon dresses
are particularly lovely in colors, and
the bright-colored evening dress is
gaining ground every day. A red eve
ning dress is one of the things that
make losing beauty sleep worth while.
It is becuming to every one because
whatever the color or type one can
always find a shade of red that Is
becoming.

Ways of Building
Up Orchard Soils
That Trees Be Given Enough
Food for Production
Is Important.
The average orchard soil Is fertile
enough to provide good growing condi
tions for most fruit trees, provided the
orchard is given elght or ten cultiva-
tions during the spring and early sum-
mer. The time the trees need lots of
food, as well as cultivation, starts
when the orchard is old enough to pro
duce heavy crops of fruit. Unfortu
nately, many orchard sites do not have
sufficient plant food in the form of
organic matter to provide the trees
with sufficient food for maximum pro-
duction or annual crops when that
stage is reached. This means that
production is bound to be subnormal
unless this very necessary organic
matter Is supplied. It Is very expen-
sive to provide this in the form of
barnyard manure and no form of com
mercial fertilizer will entirely fill the
need,
The wise grower takes these facts
into consideration while his orchard
is young. He makes every effort te
build up the organic content of the soil
each year In addition to glving sufti.

yearly growth of his trees. Soy beans

Brown Rot in Peaches
According to Prof. H. H. Whetzel,
Cornell universi.y, the fungus causing
the brown rot of peaches lives over
winter on dried, rotted peach mum-
mies that-fall to the ground and lle in
the leaves and grass all winter. In
the spring little stalks are sent up
from these mummy peaches and on
the top of each stalk the fungus pro-
duces a sneezing cup by which clouds
of spores are sneezed out into the air
to float up and settle on the peach
blossoms, The blossoms thus affected
turn brown and die, reducing the set
of fruit and sometimes preventing a
erop. A partial control of this sneez.
ing cup fungus is attained by covering
the gees and fruit with a coating of
very fine sulfur dust,
Car to Pull Hay Rope
Many farmers find it convenient to
operate the hay fork with an automo-
bile Instead of a horse to pull the
rope. By using the car In reverse,
one can get a slow steady pull and
ean better watch the way the load
comes up and whether the rope Is
twisting or not. Also by lengthening
the trip rope, one man can set the
fork, then trip the load and pull back
the fork as the car moves back toward
the barn In low or second gear.

SEEKS MORE LIGHT
ABOUT “FREE WILL”
Writer Candidly Admits He
Is Puzzled.
On the subject of “free will”
which has been interesting the con-
tributors and readers of a column
conducted by Ted Robinson in the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, we take the
following, evidently written by a
secker after light:

“If he believes free will to be non-

“Dew of Death”
Lady Cynthia Mosley, wife of the
insurgent member of the British par
Hament and daughter of the late
Marquis Curzon, told an audience of
young people at Coventry that the
next war will “finish civilization.”
She sald that scientists have devel-
oped a known as the
dew of death and that a teaspoonful
of this explosive dropped over a eclty
would kill a million people. Enough
dew of death could be carried in a
lady's handbag to absolutely raze the
entire city of London, so she says.

Victory Made History :
on Plain of Marathon
The ancient Marathon was a small
town on the eastern coast of Attica,
about 20 miles northeast of Athens.
There i8 a modern village of the
name, but the site of the ancient Mar
athon Is occupied now by a town
called Vrana, Along with neighbor
ing towns, the old Marathon belonged
to an ancient Hanseatic league called
the Tetrapolis, This league claimed a
very early origin, legend carrying it
back to the time of Theseus, and it
survived until after the Fourth cen-
tury B. OQ
The plain of Marathon Is famous
as the scene of the decisive battle in
which Miltiades led the Athenians
and Plateans to victory over the army
of Darius under command of Datis
and Artaphernes in B. C. 400. The
Greeks numbered about 10,000, while
the Persians had a much larger force.
But the Invaders were put utterly to
rout with heavy loss, while the
Greeks lost only 192 men. The great
mound in which the remains of these
dead were placed is still conspicuous
on the plain, The battle turned back
the eastern Invasion of Europe and
saved Athens; and, according to tra-
dition, a Greek runner sped without
stopping from Marathon to Athens
bearing the tidings of victory.
